You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in your word.
Psalm 119:114, ESV
We are found in Christ, and we strengthen our faith in His Word, the Bible.
Let us point others to the Truth found in the Bible.
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me.
John 15:4, ESV
Anything good we do is because of Christ working in and through us.
May we lead others to be found in Him.
Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.
Luke 6:36, ESV
We deserved death and torment, yet God relents.
How often do we not forgive those who [usually unintentionally] wrong us? Our own mercy could lead to the Gospel being shared.
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
Philippians 4:8, ESV
If we focus on how bad the world is, we can pulled into complaining and worry. If we focus on what good is happening, we can share our joy with a hurting world, especially the salvation offered by Christ.
You forgave the iniquity of your people; you covered all their sin. Selah
Psalm 85:2, ESV
We lashed out at God.
He took those lashes to the cross, buying and giving forgiveness by His blood.
There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.
1 John 4:18, ESV
We no longer need to fear God’s wrath after we come to Christ. Instead, we should fear for those who do not know Him and share the Gospel with them.
And the Lord will be king over all the earth. On that day the Lord will be one and his name one.
Zechariah 14:9, ESV
We are able to share the good news that one day God will put an end to all evil and suffering, and to be a part of it all only takes faith in the work of Christ.
“So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.”
Matthew 7:12, ESV
Kindness and mercy are definitely important, but we should not forget grace and forgiveness as well as sharing God’s Word with all people. There is nothing more loving than pointing each other to God.
“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.”
Matthew 5:4, ESV
We are blessed when we realize our wretchedness compared to God, and we mourn the sin the separates us from God – our own sins and the sins of others.
For only then can we seek the blessing of forgiveness and eternal life in Jesus Christ.
The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.
Psalm 145:18, ESV
God wants us to draw near, not merely waiting for us but even coming for us, but in His truth.
Don’t chase a fake god. Pursue the Gut of the Bible.
