There's such a thing as self-denial. The man whose soul has been saved must live His life in absolute commitment to the One who saved him. Everyday must be lived for Him. Our selfish interests must give way for His will daily in our lives.

The emptiness caused by sin has been filled by the Spirit given to us. By the Spirit God now lives in us. We have become one with Him. By the Spirit the fear of death has been expelled. The thirst has been quenched. We have become free. We have drunk of that water and it's now in us a fountain that never runs dry.

The righteousness of God is fully seen in Jesus. We can't define righteousness outside God. We see it all in Jesus. How He comforts the sinner. How He seeks to transform and not to condemn. How His grace saves and equally produces the very righteousness needed in man. He knows where to cast the stone. The heart of man.

Jesus never treated false doctrines with kids' gloves. He didn't in any way teach tolerance to false doctrines. Many times the damage left by false teachings are irreparable. Men seem never to recover from the destructions caused by false teaching. The instruction is to flee false teaching. To be able to flee false teachings is simply because you are grounded in the truth.

One thing we must know is that none of us is sent to show ourselves to the world. The purpose of Christ is to show Christ to the world. This implies that we have nothing to prove to the world but to reveal the power of His saving grace to men.

Knowing our source of joy is paramount . It is the good news of God's saving grace from the shackles of sin and death.

The grace of God brings freedom. Freedom to receive from Him. Where men are bound by legalism it becomes hard for them to receive the power of God over their lives and circumstances. Faith finds expression where the grace of God is emphasized and men receive effortlessly.

How we perceive the grace of God will always show in our expression of love. When we see the abundance of His grace our love will also be boundless.

There are orders we can't violate. We can give the devil a foothold by being negligent. An act of negligence can go a long way to pull down what was taken years to build. Self-control is needed much more as one grows in influence.

Learning to align our priorities in order of importance and more primarily in the light of God's will and purpose is very important. We must major on the major. We mustn't make the things that have no eternal bearing distract us from true purpose.
