TODAY'S LESSON: K.F.C.
(KEEP FOLLOWING CHRIST)
I PRESS TOWARD THE MARK FOR THE PRIZE OF THE HIGH CALLING OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS.
PHILIPPIANS 3:14
WHY SHOULD WE KEEP FOLLOWING CHRIST?
THERE ARE MANY REASONS. HERE ARE JUST A FEW:
EPHESIANS 6:12
FOR WE WRESTLE NOT AGAINTST FLESH AND BLOOD, BUT AGAINST PRINCIPALITIES, AGAINST POWERS, AGAINST THE RULERS OF THE DARKNESS OF THIS WORLD, AGAINST SPIRITUAL WICKEDNESS IN HIGH PLACES.
PSALM 1:1
BLESSED IS THE MAN THAT WALKETH NOT IN THE COUNSEL OF THE UNGODLY, NOR STANDETH IN THE WAY OF SINNERS, NOR SITTETH IN THE SEAT OF THE SCORNFUL.
ROMANS 8:31
WHAT SHALL WE THEN SAY TO THESE THINGS? IF GOD BE FOR US, WHO CAN BE AGAINST US?
ROMANS 8:37
NAY, IN ALL THESE THINGS WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS THROUGH HIM THAT LOVED US.
ROMANS 6:23
FOR THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH, BUT THE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD.
ROMANS 5:8
BUT GOD COMMENDETH HIS LOVE TOWARD US, IN THAT, WHILE WE WERE YET SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US.
PHILIPPIANS 1:6
BEING CONFIDENT OF THIS VERY THING, THAT HE WHICH HATH BEGUN A GOOD WORK IN YOU WILL PERFORM IT UNTIL THE DAY OF JESUS CHRIST.
ROMANS 8:28a
AND WE KNOW THAT ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD TO THEM THAT LOVE GOD,...
Now that's what I call encourageing news!
So, how do we keep following Christ?
REMEMBER THE OLD COMMERCIAL ABOUT FIRE SAFETY?
WHAT WERE THE INSTRUCTIONS...
STOP,
DROP,
AND ROLL.
STOP
I THESSALONIANS 5:22
ABSTAIN FROM ALL APPEARANCE OF EVIL.
DROP
I PETER 5:7
CASTING ALL YOUR CARE UPON HIM;FOR HE CARETH FOR YOU.
ROLL
(KEEP GOING)
PHILIPPIANS 3:14
I PRESS TOWARD THE MARK FOR THE PRIZE OF THE HIGH CALLING OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS.
AND WHILE YOU'RE PRESSING TOWARD THAT MARK...
KEEP YOURSELVES IN THE LOVE OF GOD, LOOKING FOR THE MERCY OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST UNTO ETERNAL LIFE.
