One Life

December 4

If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. - Romans 10:9, NKJV

Today, in a world where the role models are entertainers, athletes and politicians, many of whom lack morals, integrity and even common decency . . . in a world where no one seems to stand for anything unless it is to stand for selfish, self-serving rights . . . in a world where anything is compromised if it impedes success . . . in a world where pleasure takes priority over principles . . . in a world where we care more about public opinion than about what God thinks . . . in a world where there are no absolutes, where what is right is what works or what feels good . . . in a world where character no longer seems to count . . . In such a world, the testimony of one life lived for Christ is powerful! One life cleansed through faith in the blood of Jesus. One life that confesses, “Jesus is Lord.” One life that has the courage to stand for godly convictions in the midst of moral compromise. One life that tells the truth. One life that lives the truth. One life that lifts high the Light!

You can be that one life!

THE  WAY  OF  LIFE   ---   ALL  THE  WORDS  OF  THIS  LIFE 

 

PROVERBS 6:23  for the commandment is a lamp and the law is light and reproofs of instruction are the way of life

PROVERBS 15:10  CORRECTION  is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way and he that hateth reproof shall die 

 

2 TIMOTHY 2:7  consider what I say and  THE  LORD  give thee understanding in all things 

PROVERBS 21:16  the man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead 

 

2 TIMOTHY 2:19  nevertheless the foundation of  GOD  standeth sure having this seal  THE  LORD  knoweth them that are  HIS  and let every one that ---nameth the name of  CHRIST -- depart from iniquity---

ACTS 3:26  unto you first  GOD  having raised up  HIS  SON  JESUS  sent  HIM  to bless you in turning away every one of you from his iniquities

 

LUKE 8:11  now the parable is this the seed is the word of  GOD

 

--8:12-- those by the wayside are they that hear then cometh the devil and taketh the word out of their hearts lest they should believe and be saved

--8:13--  they on the rock are they which when they hear receive the word with joy and these have no root which for a while believe and in time of temptation fall away

--8:14--  and that which fell among thorns are they which when they have heard go forth and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life and bring no fruit to perfection

 

--8:15--  but that on the good ground are they which in an honest and good heart having heard the word keep it and bring forth fruit with patience

 

JAMES 4:7  submit yourselves therefore to  GOD  resist the devil and he will flee from you

 

ACTS 5:20  go stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life 

 

PROVERBS 8:13  the fear of  THE  LORD  is to hate evil pride and arrogancy and the evil way and the froward mouth do I hate

 

PROVERBS 27:12  a prudent man foreseeth the evil and hideth himself  ---BUT  THE  SIMPLE---  pass on and are punished  

 

 

LOVING  THE  LORD  JESUS  CHRIST
