Jesus Christ knew and used Scripture when He lived on this earth as the God-Man. He used doctrinal orientation as a problem-solving device. “Study [the Bible] to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of truth” (2 Tim 2:15). The Holy Spirit is the author of truth, He leads us into truth. “God is not the author of confusion” (1 Cor 14:3). When Jesus Christ said, “Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, My yoke is easy and My burden is light” He’s telling you that if you learn His plan—if you understand what he’s telling you—it’s not hard to live the Christian life. It is a stress-free life. We are mandated to acquire the mind of Christ and doctrinal orientation. “Grow in the grace and the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Pet 3:18).

True happiness is a supernatural resource only available to the believer in Jesus Christ. The filling of the Holy Spirit combined with the Word of God acquired and converted to wisdom in your soul produces joy. “Happiness belongs to those who hear My Father’s Word and keep it” (Luke 11:28). Contentment is being happy with what God gives you.

Reception is the consistent perception of God’s Word. 
Retention is converting it to Biblical wisdom in your soul.

Forgiveness is a mandate from God. “Be kind and tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God has forgiven you” (Eph 4:32). There’s never a time when you shouldn’t forgive someone for something they do to you. People are often the greatest test in life. That’s why you need to master the problem-solving device of Impersonal Love. You forgive others, and you love others, based on who you are, not on who they are. Learning to forgive is vital for tranquility in life. “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay” (Rom 12:9). The Lord will handle it, you don’t need to straighten anyone out and never retaliate. Forgetting is a key part of Forgiveness. Forgive the person, forget the deed, and move forward.

Salvation—the guarantee of eternal life in heaven—is faith alone in Christ alone. It is you putting your faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross for your salvation—and nothing else. You will be in the Book of Life when you do this. If you don’t, your name is blotted out and you will spend eternity in the Lake of Fire. Yes, hell is real.”He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life” (1 John 5:12-13).

Hell is a real place. And there is a worse place than Hell. Unbelievers are brought out of Hell to the Great White Throne of Judgment and once they are found lacking, they are then cast into the Lake of Fire. Those who reject accepting Jesus Christ as their Savior will spend everlasting life in the Lake of Fire in everlasting suffering and punishment. “And these shall go away into everlasting punishment but the righteous into eternal life” (Matt 25:46). The Lake of Fire will be there as long as heaven is there for the Scripture calls both of these everlasting - everlasting punishment and everlasting life. It’s your choice. “Whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).

You must guard your soul with the Word of God. “Guard your soul with all diligence because out of it are the issues of life” (Prov 4:23). You guard your soul by learning and applying God’s Word. You’re in a spiritual war. If you allow God the Holy Spirit to control your life then you can be in tune with God’s will, plan, and purpose for your life. The secret to learning God’s Word is staying filled with the Holy Spirit so the ministry of the Holy Spirit can empower you. “Grow in the grace and knowledge of your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Pet 3:18). The Holy Spirit will not allow false doctrine to cycle into your soul because it would be a sin. “To him that knowers to do good and doth not, to him it is sin” (James 4:17). Only the Holy Spirit can verify what’s true. Only the Holy Spirit can allow you to have fellowship with God.

You can destroy yourself by what you think. If you don’t think right, you won’t do what is right. “As a man thinks in his heart so he is” (Prov 23:7). Change the way you think to a divine viewpoint by staying filled with the Holy Spirit and studying under the ministry of a well-qualified pastor as he teaches you the Word of God. You are in full-time Christian service. “Put on the armor of God” (Eph 6:11). Have you ever wondered why the Bible tells us very little about the first 30 years of the life of Jesus Christ? Perhaps it’s because He was studying His Father’s Word preparing Himself for the battles ahead to be victorious on the cross. You might be surprised by the way your life would go if you quit following your desires and submit yourself to what God desires for you. “Nevertheless, not My will but Thy will be done” (Matt 26:39).

If you allow the world, your sin nature, or Satan to control your life you will end up with a sick soul. You make choices. When you use your volition to decide to allow the lures of the world or any of the other enemies to capture your thoughts then your sin nature takes control. You have a simple, wonderful, grace provision called rebound and you can refresh your sick soul with this. God promises “I will never leave you, I will never forsake you” (Heb 13:5). Once you’ve confessed your sin put it out of your mind and move on in your spiritual life. Name your sin to God (1 John 1:9). Isolate your sin (Heb 12:15). Forget your sin (Phil 3:13). Move on in your spiritual life (Phil 3:14). God never gets tired of forgiving the sins you acknowledge to Him. “Where sin increases, grace increases all that much more” (Rom 5:20).
