The Apostle Paul wrote to the young pastor, Timothy with "charges" or issuing "commands" as a superior officer would a soldier.  In our verse of the week, 1 Timothy 1:5, Paul wrote of "the end of the commandment."  The "commandment" was the charge that Paul gave to Timothy as this is from the same Greek word as "charge."  The "end"  simply means, "the goal" or "aim."  Paul wanted Timothy to stay "right" no matter what hardships or obstacles he faced.

Hebrews 9:14 - How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

The first three words of the verse, “How much more” shows comparison.  It is a comparison between the blood of Christ and that of bulls and goats.  It also shows superiority.  The blood of Christ is superior over the blood of the sacrifices of the Old Covenant.

The GRASP verse of the week for September 12, 2021

A key component in Spiritual growth is a relationship with God through prayer and the Word of God.  GRASP 2021 highlights one verse a week each can read, hear, meditate upon, memorize and study.  By all focusing on the same verse we grow individually and also in unity as the body of Christ.  

Those who belong to Christ,  are in the flesh but do not live according to the flesh.  The scripture instructs "walk in the Spirit and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh."

Two characters are described in Galatians 5.  Which one best describes you?
