Walk In The Lord’s Way

Mar3

Walk in all the way which the Lord your God has commanded you . . .
Walk in His ways and fear (reverence) Him . . .
Walk in His ways and love Him . . .
Walk in His ways and serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul.
Walk in His ways and hold fast to Him . . .
Walk in His ways always.
Deuteronomy 5:33, 8:6; 10:12; 11:22; 19:9 NASB1995

How do we know how to walk in the Lord, in His way? Through His Word. Sharing life with other believers. By prayer. By surrendering to God’s ways, His will.

🌹Though all the peoples walk Each in the name of his god, As for us, we will walk In the name of the Lord our God forever and ever.

Walk In The Spirit – Kindness (Pt. 1 of 2)

Feb16

But the fruit of the Spirit is kindness
Galatians 5:22 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/gal.5.22.NASB1995

But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared, He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior,
Titus 3:4-6 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/tit.3.4-6.NASB1995

The Holy Spirit, poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ, so we would demonstrate the lovingkindness of God to others, just as He has demonstrated to us who know Him.

He has told you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you But to do justice, to love kindness, And to walk humbly with your God?
Micah 6:8 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/mic.6.8.NASB1995

Behold then the kindness and severity of God; to those who fell, severity, but to you, God’s kindness, if you continue in His kindness; otherwise you also will be cut off.
Romans 11:22 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/rom.11.22.NASB1995

Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance
Romans 2:4 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/rom.2.4.NASB1995

🌹So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience;

Happy Valentines Weekend 💝

In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation (satisfaction) for our sins.

Walk by The Spirit – Love

Jan20

But the fruit of the Spirit is love
Galatians 5:22 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/gal.5.22.NASB1995

Recommended Reading: 1 Corinthians 13

No one has seen God at any time; if we love one another, God abides in us, and His love is perfected in us.
1 John 4:12 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1jn.4.12.NASB1995

For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:38-39 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/rom.8.38-39.NASB1995

“This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends. You are My friends if you do what I command you.
John 15:12-14 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.15.12-14.NASB1995

If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.
1 John 4:20 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1jn.4.20.NASB1995

We know love by this, that He laid down His life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
1 John 3:16 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1jn.3.16.NASB1995

🌹Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
1 John 4:7-8 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1jn.4.7-8.NASB1995

Is the fruit of the Spirit – love – in me able to fill a glass, a pitcher, or a continual running river in me overflowing to the glory and purpose of God?

Portrait 4, A Crucified Life

Jan13

I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.
Galatians 2:20 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/gal.2.20.NASB1995

Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
Galatians 5:24 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/gal.5.24.NASB1995

knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin;
for he who has died is freed (acquitted) from sin.
Romans 6:6-7 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/rom.6.6-7.NASB1995

If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness.
Romans 8:10 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/rom.8.10.NASB1995

For the death that He (Jesus) died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. Even so consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

Dwell in The Love of God

Sep23

But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.
Jude 1:20-21 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jud.1.20-21.NASB1995

Contend earnestly for the faith. Fight the good fight of faith; take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, 
having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established in your faith. Just as you were instructed, encourage one another and build up one another, overflowing with gratitude. With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints while anxiously looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus.
Jude 1:3/1 Timothy 6:12/Colossians 2:7/1 Thessalonians 5:11/Ephesians 6:18/Titus 2:13 NASB1995 

🌹so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him.
