(Some of Lee's Favorite Passages of Scripture)
John 3:16 - tells of God's love for me and you.
Romans 10:9, 10 - shares God's plan of salvation for any that will receive it.
Philippians 4:13 - tells me of the unlimited promises available through my relationship with Jesus Christ, my Savior.
Romans 8:1, 2 - tells me that as I have accepted Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord of my life, I am not bound to condemnation should I fall short in committing a sin. However, I must be mindful that salvation should not be used as a cloak to knowingly and purposely commit sin.
Psalms 1:1-6 - tells me of the blessing in meditating on the word of God and seeking Godly counsel.
Romans 12:1-2 - tells me to present my body a living sacrifice unto God; not to be used as an object to lust. This passage also tells me of the importance in renewing my mind so that whatever comes out of it is pleasing unto God.
I Timothy 4:8 - says that bodily exercise is good; however, to exercise the inner person with the word of God is most important. This passage speaks to the heart of athletes.
I Peter 5:5, 6 - tells me to keep my ego in check. Because God prefers the humble heart and resist the proud (the guy with the big head). There is no room in the kingdom of God for a big head.
John 14:6 - It tells of the way unto eternal life through our example - Jesus Christ. He not only points the way but more importantly, lived the life of a mortal man, anointed by God, being the very character of God himself. What a wonderful, loving, and giving father.
John 3:16 - "For God so loved me, you , and the people of the world, that he gave his only begotten son." What a wonderful invaluable gift.
There are many great lessons to draw wisdom from in God's word. If you're just getting started in your search for wholeness, I suggest starting with smaller books of the bible, such as I John, II John, III John, Psalms, Proverbs, and Ecclesiastes. Then go back to the gospel books - Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. These books tells of the very character of Jesus Christ - our example. These books will bless your life. |
