Magnified Word

Just as God has forgiven us in Christ, we are to forgive others.  We are to let the peace that Christ made dominate our thinking.

Jesus Christ gave his life to pay for our sin, so we no longer need to be burdened by our sin.  We can instead view ourselves as righteous, holy and without blemish.

It's great to get born again.  But, once born again, we want to become mature in Christ.  The Apostle Paul labored hard in teaching so that people would become mature in Christ.  We want to do the same. 

We want to abide in Christ by learning all that we have and are in him and keeping it in our heart.  We are to walk in him as those who are rooted and built up in him.  When we do, we will bear much wonderful fruit.

Because God's lovingkindness is excellent, we can put our trust under the shadow of His wings.  We can be abundantly satisfied and drink from the river of His pleasures.  With God is life and light.

Paul was upset with the idolatry he saw at Athens, so he went out there and preached the gospel concerning Jesus Christ.  Great example for us to follow!

By reading about the history of God's dealings with the Israelites, we can learn wonderful things about God's great grace and mercy.  Psalm 78 & Nehemiah 9.

God knows that we are dust and He has compassion on us.  Even when we get ourselves in trouble because of our own wrongdoing, when we cry out to God, He will rescue us.

Meekness is very important to God.  God's Word reveals that there are great benefits that come to people who are meek.  Moses was a great example of that.

The Scriptures show that humility and meekness are very important to God.  On the other hand, pride leads to destruction.
