Under God

Deuteronomy 33:27  The eternal God is our refuge, and we are underneath his everlasting arms. Therefore, have confidence in what you do and do it in the glory of God. Don't worry about what's to come tomorrow but focus on what you're doing right now because everything is in the hands of our father in heaven.

Fear nothing

Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. This verse for me personally just encouraged me and inspired me to crave for the word of God and also to live in a way to please him.  At times when I'm weak and vulnerable I tend to turn from the word and do some stupid things and at a point I stop reading the Bible for a while. However, this verse has told me that I will be strengthened and God will uphold me therefore in response I'll keep myself from sin so that I may not become weak again and I will live my life only for God.

Rules for Holy living

Colossians 3: 1-17 Let the peace of Christ rule in your heart, so that as members of one body we all may be called to peace. Be grateful and let the word dwell in you richly when you share his word with others whether it be through praise or teaching. Finally, whatever you do, do it in the name of Christ and give thanks to the god the father through Jesus.

Live your lives in Christ Jesus

Colossians 2: 6 - 7 6 So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, 7 rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. Pretty self explanatory. Live your lives in Christ Jesus and you will be strengthened in the faith and overflowing with thankfulness. This way you can truly experience joy whilst living for God.

Instructions for Christian living

Ephesians 4: 17-29 Live no longer as Gentiles do. When we learnt of Christ, we were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is Jesus. We were taught with regard to our former ways of life, to discard our old selves which was corrupted by it's deceitful desires. We are made new and created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. Therefore speak in truth and do not deceive, in anger do not sin, do not give the devil a foothold, don't let unwholesome talk leave your mouth but only what is helpful for building up others. Be free of bitterness and be compassionate towards your brothers and sisters in Christ and learn to forgive just in Christ God forgave you. 

Unity and Maturity in the Body of Christ

Ephesians 4: 1 - 16 Live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be kind, be gentle, be humble, be bearing with another in love and make effort with everything in your power to keep the unity of the spirit because for him the whole body (us) joined together as supporting ligaments, grows and builds themselves up in love, as each part does its work.

Made alive in Christ

Ephesians 2: 1 -10 We lived in transgressions and sin, we followed our worldly desires and lived to satisfy our flesh. Yet  in the great mercy of our God he has gracefully saved us. Therefore, through faith do good works the way God has prepared for us to do for we are God's handiwork created to do his will.
