We should joyfully submit to King Jesus knowing he redeemed us and will one day vanquish all rebels, ushering in a kingdom of peace.

We must understand our Christian requirement to forgive, and God’s appeal for us to forgive willingly, sincerely, and fully as we are reconciled with our brothers and sisters in Christ.

We must understand our profound connection with each other because of our union with Christ.

We must diligently keep investing in all that is important to God, faithfully and wisely dealing with people, and rightly handling God’s word until the work of the church is done.

Like Paul, we must be wise about our words with others, knowing that as Christians in a fallen world we will always need to seek to excel in our communication.

We must draw the connection between God and his gracious provisions in our lives and, for his glory, make the most of all that he has set before us.

We must have confidence in the veracity of our Bibles, knowing how God miraculously authenticated the Apostles and Prophets he used to relay his written revelation to us.

God’s promises to us must be believed with a tenacious, God-fueled confidence no matter what might tempt us to doubt them.

We as Christians should understand the important role God has graciously allowed us to currently have in preserving, protecting, and improving the concentric spheres in which we live.

We ought to care about the people around us and the culture we live in, boldly relaying God’s revealed wisdom to them, knowing his indomitable plans will surely be carried out.
