Have the love of God, do not judge, renew your heart!
- Romans 10:9-10 ~ If
you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your
heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is
with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is
with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
- Anyone can repent & confess so how can we judge who is or isn't saved. Just
like God works it out in us, he does the same for others! Be patient
& love one another. If we show love towards people, God will
complete a good work in them. Don't be hypocritical, turning your nose
up at people; we want love & the truth so we must give it. Pray for
one another; don't talk others down. Remember, in your most righteous
state, you are still filthy.
- Philippians 1:1-2; 3:12-21 ~ Paul
and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, To all God’s holy people in
Christ Jesus at Philippi, together with the overseers and deacons: Grace
and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at
my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus
took hold of me.
Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of
it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward
what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
All of us, then, who are mature should take such a view of things. And
if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to
you. Only let us live up to what we have already attained.
Join
together in following my example, brothers and sisters, and just
as you have us as a model, keep your eyes on those who live as we do.
For, as I have often told you before and now tell you again even with
tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their destiny is
destruction, their god is their stomach, and their
glory is in their shame. Their mind is set on earthly things. But our
citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the
Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring
everything under his
control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his
glorious body.
- Be careful lest you fall (watch your mouth; just what you say about others can befall you)
- Galatians 5:22 ~ But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness...
- Seek peace & love above all else; seek ye first the kingdom of God!
