Have Faith In The Lord

Psa 37:4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
KJV

Have faith in the Lord, and do good; be at rest in the land, and go after righteousness.
So will your delight be in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.
Put your life in the hands of the Lord; have faith in him and he will do it.
And he will make your righteousness be seen like the light, and your cause like the shining of the sun.

Make sure your freedom in Christ does not lead the weak away from Jesus.

1Co 8:9 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.
KJV

There is for us only one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we are for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we have our being through him.
Still, all men have not that knowledge: but some, being used till now to the image, are conscious that they are taking food which has been offered to the image; and because they are not strong in the faith, their minds are troubled.
But God’s approval of us is not based on the food we take: if we do not take it we are no worse for it; and if we take it we are no better.
But take care that this power of yours does not give cause for trouble to the feeble.
For if a man sees you, who have knowledge, taking food as a guest in the house of an image, will it not give him, if he is feeble, the idea that he may take food offered to images?
And so, through your knowledge, you are the cause of destruction to your brother, for whom Christ underwent death.
And in this way, doing evil to the brothers, and causing trouble to those whose faith is feeble, you are sinning against Christ.
For this reason, if food is a cause of trouble to my brother, I will give up taking meat for ever, so that I may not be a cause of trouble to my brother.

You belong to God, not to men.

1Co 7:23 Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.
KJV

God paid a high price for you, so don’t be slaves to anyone else.

Jesus Christ crucified, salvation for all mankind.
So let no one call themselves teacher, our teacher is Jesus, or master, we are all brothers.
And call no man on earth father, Your father and my father is in heaven.
Let us serve our Lord and one another.

God paid a high price for you, so don’t be slaves to anyone else.

Rev 5:9 And their voices are sounding in a new song, saying, It is right for you to take the book and to make it open: for you were put to death and have made an offering to God of your blood for men of every tribe, and language, and people, and nation,

Mat 23:8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
Mat 23:9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
Mat 23:10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.
Mat 23:11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. KJV

Gal 2:4 We needed to talk about these problems, because some who pretended to be our brothers had come into our group secretly. They came in like spies to find out about the freedom we have in Christ Jesus. They wanted to make us slaves,
Gal 2:5 but we did not agree with anything those false brothers wanted. We wanted the truth of the Good News to continue for you. ERV

God does not lie, or change his mind.

Num 23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
KJV

God is not a man, to say what is false; or the son of man, that his purpose may be changed: what he has said, will he not do? and will he not give effect to the words of his mouth?
See, I have had orders to give blessing: and he has given a blessing which I have no power to take away.

God does not lie or change his mind.
If he made you a promise, he will keep it.
He blesses you, because he loves you.
