Unstained by The World

Aug7

You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
James 4:4 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.4.4.NASB1995

Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
1 John 2:15 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1jn.2.15.NASB1995

because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so, and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
Romans 8:7-8 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/rom.8.7-8.NASB1995

🌹Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: . . . to keep oneself unstained by the world.
James 1:27 NASB1995

Love Your Neighbors & Enemies

Mar20

“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’
But I (Jesus) say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
Matthew 5:43-44 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.5.43-44.NASB1995

Love your enemy as you do your neighbor.

so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
Matthew 5:45 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.5.45.NASB1995

But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He Himself is kind to ungrateful and evil men.
Luke 6:35 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/luk.6.35.NASB1995

🌹Treat others the same way you want them to treat you.

It’s Heart Conditioning

Jan20

Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.
Romans 12:14 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/rom.12.14.NASB1995

How can you bless them?

But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
Matthew 5:44 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.5.44.NASB1995

bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
Luke 6:28 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/luk.6.28.NASB1995

By prayer we ask for God to bless them. This does two things; it puts the one you are praying for in God’s hands and secondly it humbles our heart toward our enemy. We don’t need to carry the burden of hatred, anguish, resentment, etc. Instead we overcome by the word of God and His power.

🌹Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
Romans 12:21 NASB1995

The Gospel is Peace

Aug12

And although you were formerly alienated and hostile in mind, engaged in evil deeds,
Colossians 1:21 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/col.1.21.NASB1995

Alienated, hostile in mind, evil — enemy of God. That is who Jesus came to sacrifice His life for. Jesus came to save His enemy. Jesus came to save you.
yet He has now reconciled you in His fleshly body through death, in order to present you before Him holy and blameless and beyond reproach—
Colossians 1:22 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/col.1.22.NASB1995

Blameless and beyond reproach! The Prince of Peace came to reconcile you to Himself, to bring peace into your life.

if indeed you continue in the faith firmly established and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel that you have heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, was made a minister.
Colossians 1:23 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/col.1.23.NASB1995

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful.
Colossians 3:15 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/col.3.15.NASB1995

And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:7 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/php.4.7.NASB1995

🌹Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.
John 14:27 NASB1995
