---------
‘Jesus The Messiah.’

(Through this Second one I want to Glorify Jesus The Messiah)
---------
Chris.
We should be positive and not fret about evil doers. Evil doers will be cut off by God. It is not for us to be troubled in our hearts about evil doers, especially when they are outside of our sphere of responsibility. We should determine in our thinking minds to remain positive and not to fret about them.

Sanctified By The Word Of God!

‘Sanctified By The Word Of God.’
John 17:17.
a) Sanctify them and make them Holy by the Truth.

c) The Word of God the Father is Truth and it has sanctifying Power.
(Through this QT I thank God that I am Sanctified By The Word Of God)
--------
‘Walking With The Lord.’
Psalm 16:11.
a) The Lord will make the Path of Life known to us.
b) Complete Joy is in the Lord’s Presence.
c) Pleasures are by the Lord’s side forever more.
(This Second one shows me what it is like to be Walking With The Lord)
--------
Chris.
There is a wonderful freedom in our hearts when we know that we are walking with the Lord. We have Joy in every situation and circumstance when we know that we are walking with the Lord. This is really a privilege that every True Believer can have – walking with the Lord. So let us yield our lives and respond to the Lord, then we can walk with Him.

Be Positive!

‘Be Positive.’

(Through this Second one I understand who are the True Worshippers)
-------
Chris.
True Believers may become True Worshippers. It is impossible for anyone to be a True Worshipper before they are a True Believer. The calling to be a Worshipper of the Living God is a high calling and only True Believers can really follow that path.

c) Tread down the needy people.

(Through this Second one I want to avoid Perpetual Oppressors and to challenge them as to their sin)
---
Chris.
As True Believers we have an enemy. The enemy’s name is Satan. This enemy can create havoc in our lives and in our relationships. The Word of God Promises us Victory for our lives in every way. As True Believers we need to trust in the Word of God and then experience His Victory in our lives against our enemy.

d) I got a reward for all of my labours.
e) Then I looked at everything I had worked so hard to accomplish.

Luke 10:41-42.
a) The Lord told Martha who was so busy serving that she was worrying.

1- Needed.

f) Mary was a Worshipper, Martha was a worker.
(Through this Second one I would encourage all people, especially sisters: Do Not Be A Worrying Martha)
------
Chris.
There is nothing wrong with hard work. All my life I have tried to be a hard worker, I actually enjoyed it and tried not complain. The last twenty years of my life I have really endeavoured to work hard. I also learned that all the hard work that I did formerly, now I am somewhat restricted because of my physical incapability, I did for the Glory of God and not for my own satisfaction.

The True Believer's Contentment!

7- The secret of being in need.
(This QT clearly teaches me about The True Believer’s Contentment)
-------------
‘Simple Self Control.’
1 Corinthians 9:27.
a) Self control is about our body.
b) We need to treat it hard and not to spoil it.
c) We make our body our slave.
d) Then we can proclaim the Good News to other people.
e) Then we will not be disqualified.
(Through this Second one I can learn Simple Self Control)
-------------
Chris.
We should learn many things about life in God’s Kingdom and Family. One of the things we learn is that it is not incorrect to have more than enough in every way. This is not achievement is not made by stingy saving or greedy business ethics, it is because of the Grace of God. If God has Blessed us in this way we should be thankful to Him and contented, not carrying some burden of guilt because God Blessed us in that way.

God Is With Righteous People!

‘God Is With Righteous People.’
Proverbs 24:15-16.

b) The wicked person should not destroy the Righteous person’s dwelling place.

------------
‘A Call To Sojourners And Pilgrims.’
1 Peter 2:11.
a) These Sojourners and Pilgrims are beloved people.
b) Peter was beseeching them.
c) They were to abstain from fleshly lusts.
d) These fleshly lusts would war against their souls.
(This Second is A Call To All Sojourners And Pilgrims, maybe most True Believers are Sojourners and Pilgrims)
------------
Chris.
Sometimes, just as the psalmist Asaph did, we get hurt, upset or jealous of wicked people. We should not keep those things in our hearts because God knows all about those wicked people and their time to be overthrown will come. Let us concentrate on living our life well before the Lord and not be snared by thoughts of the wicked people.

f) For the Joy that was set before Him, Jesus:-
1- Endured the Cross.
2- Scorned the shame of the Cross.
3- Is now sat down at the Right Hand of the Throne of God.
(This QT reminds me that I am to be Fixing My Eyes On Jesus)
-------------
‘Quiet Yet Bold Faith In God.’
a) Daniel 3:16-18. The three friends of Daniel would not compromise. True Faith in God does not compromise.
b) Job 13:15. Job’s Faith was strong because He knew God and not because he had nice circumstances.
c) 1 John 2:15. If we are to have bold Faith we should not love the World system.
(Through this Second one I want to have Quiet Yet Bold Faith In God)
-------------
Chris.
We are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses to the Life of Faith in Hebrews chapter eleven. The greatest testimony is the Word of God itself. I have heard many testimonies in Christian environments and some of them really Glorify God. Sadly there are also many testimonies that are not for the Glory of God but only for the “glory” of the person who is testifying. This kind of testimony is actually incorrect and such testifying should be discouraged in Christian environments.

Even Our Intentions Can Bless Other People!

‘Even Our Intentions Can Bless Other People.’
Philippians 4:10.
a) Apostle Paul rejoiced greatly in the Lord.
b) Because the Philippian Church renewed their concern for him.
c) They were really concerned.
d) But they had no opportunity to show it.
(Through this QT I can see that Even My Intentions Can Bless Other People)
-------------

a) John 1:1. In the beginning was the Word.
b) John 1:1. The Word was with God.
c) John 1:1. The Word was God.

i) John 1:5. The Light shines in the darkness.
j) John 1:5. The darkness has not overcome the Light.
(In this Second one I have great confidence in God: From The Beginning Jesus And The Father)
-------------
Chris.
From the Beginning of everything there was Jesus and the Father. At the end of everything there will be Jesus and the Father. Jesus Christ is the everlasting Word of God. Jesus Christ is the Creator of all things. Jesus Christ is Eternal Life, in Him we have Eternal Life. Jesus Christ is the Light of the World, the Light that shines into the darkness.

------------
‘Really Trusting The Lord.’
Psalm 37:5-7.
a) Psalm 37:5. We need to commit our way to the Lord.
b) Psalm 37:5-6. If we Trust in the Lord He will make our Righteousness shine like the dawn.
c) Psalm 37:6. If we Trust in the Lord He will make the Justice of our cause like the noon day sun.
d) Psalm 37:7. We should be still before the Lord.
e) Psalm 37:7. Wait patiently for the Lord.
f) Psalm 37:7. Do not fret when men succeed in their ways and carry out their wicked schemes.
(This Second encourages me to be Really Trusting The Lord)
------------
Chris.
To have one’s Hope cut off is a painful and sometimes devastating experience. One of the reasons that a person’s Hope is cut off is that performance is prioritised in our lives rather than Wisdom. We live in performance orientated World that has become tuned in to “success or failure” syndrome. As True Believers we should prioritise Wisdom and trust God to give us success.

God Will Not Forget!

‘God Will Not Forget.’
Matthew 5:11-12.
a) We will be Blessed if people, for the Lord’s sake:-
1- Reproach and insult us.
2- Persecute us.
3- Say all manner of evil against us falsely.
b) Rejoice and be exceedingly glad in those circumstances.
c) The Reward in Heaven for us will be great.
d) The Prophets of the Old Testament and God’s People throughout the ages suffered the same persecutions.
(This QT gives me such comfort: God Will Not Forget)
-----------

a) God’s People who know Righteousness should listen to Him.

e) God’s Righteousness shall be forever.

(Through this Second one I am strengthened: True Believers – Do Not Be Afraid)
-----------
Chris.
As clear followers of the Lord there may be some times when we face painful experiences because of our Faith. We may be reproached or insulted, these are offensive things and can wound our hearts. We may be persecuted in other ways causing us physical or emotional pain. We may be gossiped about in a malicious way. As True Believers we are told that if we go through such experiences the end result will be that God Blesses us.

Leading By Example!

‘Leading By Example.’
Philippians 4:9.
a) The God of Peace will be with those people who are led by the good example of their Leaders.
b) Example leading come from things in our Leader’s lives that we:-
1- Learn.
2- Hear.
3- Receive.
4- See.
c) We do these things because we have learned them from our Leaders.
(Through this QT I can see the benefit of Leading By Example)
----------
‘The People Who Will Occupy Heaven.’
Revelation 21:27.
a) Will not be unclean.
b) Will not be people who make abominations.
c) Will not be liars.
d) Will not be doers of detestable things.
e) Will not be doers of false things.
f) Will not be practitioners of shameful idolatry.
g) Will be those people whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
(Through this Second one I want to be amongst The People Who Will Occupy Heaven)
----------
Chris.
Our Christian Leaders should be figures of importance in our lives. They influence our Christianity very much if we are Faithful True Believers. Our Leaders should be showing us the Way. They should be setting us good examples. We do not only learn from their teaching and training us but we also learn from their lifestyles. We need to love, respect and respond to good Christian Leaders.

Do Our Part Against Injustice!

d) God understand all our hearts.
e) God sees us.
f) He Who guards our souls knows that we knew and that we know.
g) God will repay all people as their actions deserve.
(Through this QT I realize that, along with all True Believers, should Do My Part Against Injustice)
---------
‘Sin Should Lose Its Power In Our Lives.’
Romans 6:6.
a) We know that our old sinful selves were crucified with Christ.
b) This means that sin can lose is power in our lives.
c) We are no longer slaves to sin.
(This Second one reminds me that Sin Should Lose Its Power In My Life)
---------
Chris.
God sees us! He is not just in the Sunday Worship but He is seeing every part of our lives every day. He sees our actions and He hears our words. It is even told us in the Scripture that He knows our hearts and their motives. Yes, God sees us all the time and He longs for us to be a people that would Glorify Him.

The Effect Of Our Great High Priest!

‘The Effect Of Our Great High Priest.’
Hebrews 4:14.
a) We have a Great High Priest.
b) He has entered Heaven. (He sits at the Right Hand of the Father interceding for us)

(In this QT I can see The Effect Of My Great High Priest)
------------
‘Finish Our Race Well.’

a) We are surrounded by so many witnesses, the heroes of Faith in Hebrews chapter eleven shows us many of them.
b) We are to lay aside every weight.
c) We are to lay aside the sin which clings so closely to us.
d) We are to run with endurance the race that is set before us.
e) We are to be looking to Jesus the Founder of our Faith.
f) We are to be looking to Jesus Who makes our Faith perfect.
g) We are to be looking to Jesus Who, for the Joy that was set before Him:-
1- Endured the Cross.
2- Despised the shame.
3- Is sat now at the Right Hand of the Throne of God.
(This Second one calls me to Finish My Race Well)
------------
Chris.
We have a Great High Priest, He is Jesus Christ our Lord. He has now entered Heaven and is interceding for us at the Right Hand of the Father. The intercessory ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ for us is an important reality. He is now interceding for us. He is also our pattern Intercessor.

Good Thinking!

‘Good Thinking.’

Think about:-
a) Whatever is True.
b) Whatever is Honourable.
c) Whatever is Just.
d) Whatever is Pure.
e) Whatever is Lovely.

g) Whatever is Excellent.
h) Whatever is Worthy of Praise.
(Through this QT I am encouraged to have Good Thinking)
-----------
‘Consider Jesus.’
Hebrews 3:1.
a) As Holy Brothers and Sisters.
b) We share in a Heavenly Calling.
c) We should consider Jesus.
d) He is the Apostle of our Confession.
e) He is the High Priest of our Confession.
(This Second one urges me to Consider Jesus)
-----------
Chris.
Think about whatever is True. There are so many lies going around, even in the Churches. People tend to love gossip more than Fellowship and Worship. This is a sad but real picture of many Churches. The reason why this happens is very simple – the dark and sinful human heart. Let’s start to see Restoration of the Churches from the Lord as we think about whatever is True.

We Are Not To Faint!

‘We Are Not To Faint.’
Proverbs 24:10.
a) If we faint.
b) In the day of adversity.
c) Our strength is small.
(This Simple QT reminds me that I Am Not To Faint)
----------
‘Jesus Christ Is The Fulfilment Of Melchizedek’s Priesthood.’
a) Psalm 110:4. The Lord Jehovah declares it.
b) Genesis 14:18. Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was Priest of God Most High.
c) Hebrews 5:6-10; 6:20; 7:17. The New Testament declares it.
(This Second one teaches me that Jesus Christ Is The Fulfilment Of Melchizedek’s Priesthood)
----------
Chris.
Jesus Christ is the Fulfilment of Melchizedek’s Priesthood. This is another example of how Jesus is portrayed and prophesied about in the Old Testament. We need to read the whole Counsel of the Word of God. We are not just to “pick” verses and think about them but we are to steadily read through the whole Counsel of God’s Word. If we read the Bible well God will speak to us many times from it.

Our High Priest Jesus!

‘Our High Priest Jesus.’
Hebrews 7:25.
a) He is ABLE.
b) For all time.
c) To SAVE.

(This QT makes me so grateful for My High Priest Jesus)

b) Psalm 28:2. In Prayer.
c) Psalm 134:2. To Bless the Lord.

(This Second one reminds me that it is sometimes relevant to Pray and Bless With Hands Lifted Up)
--------
Chris.
Jesus Christ always lives. He shall never ever die again. On the Cross He gave His Life for us but three days later He rose again. Death could not hold Him. Now He stays at the Father’s Right Hand in Glory. One day He will return to this Earth and take those people who love Him to Heaven where they will live with Him eternally.

(This QT really reminds me: Do Not Worry But Learn To Pray, even though sometimes it is difficult to apply)

e) Hebrews 5:2. Every Jewish religious Leader was weak in many ways because he was just a man himself.
f) Hebrews 5:2. Every Jewish religious Leader knew how to be gentle with those people who knew little.
g) Hebrews 5:2. Every Jewish religious Leader knew how to help those people who were doing wrong.
h) Hebrews 5:3. Because Jewish religious Leaders were themselves weak they had to give gifts to God for their own sins as well as the sins of the people.
i) Hebrews 5:4. Every Jewish religious Leader did not choose this honour for himself God chose them for His Work.
(Through this Second one I can see and learn about and from A Jewish Pattern For The Present Day Church Leader)
-------
Chris.
Thank God for the Blood of Jesus Christ. Through the Blood of Jesus Christ we have remission of our sins. Every Jewish religious Leader had to offer to God the blood of animals as a sin offering for the people. This hard work had to be done frequently. Jesus Christ has now finished His Work on the Cross for us so that our sins can be forgiven and we can enjoy Eternal Life.

People Whose Intentions Are Wrong!

‘People Whose Intentions Are Wrong.’
Proverbs 24:8-9.
a) Their purposes are bad so they will be called:-
1- Mischief makers.
2- People of evil designs.
3- Trouble makers.
b) The purposes of foolish people are sin.
c) The hater of authority is disgusting to other people.
(This QT tells me about People Whose Intentions Are Wrong)
------
‘The Holy Spirit And The World System.’
John 16:8.
When the Holy Spirit comes He will make the World system conscious of:-
a) Sin.
b) Righteousness.
c) Being judged.
(This Second one teaches me more about the Holy Spirit’s work: The Holy Spirit And The World System)
------
Chris.
The purposes of foolish people are sin. Basically they are sin because they come from hearts and lives that are tainted by foolishness. Secondly, they are sin because foolish people never consider what they do, they just do it spontaneously. It is not only our words and actions that are important, it is also our purposes.

The Children Got It Correctly!

‘The Children Got It Correctly.’
Matthew 21:14-16.

(This QT reveals to me that The Children Got It Correctly)
----------
‘Jesus Christ Was Acknowledged As A Prophet.’
a) Luke 7:16. The people Glorified God and they said that a Great Prophet was amongst them. They were talking about Jesus Christ. God had visited His People.
b) Luke 24:19. Again they were talking about Jesus Christ as the Prophet and again that God had visited His People.
c) John 7:40. The people heard what Jesus Christ had to say and affirmed that He was of the Truth the Prophet.
d) John 9:17; 6:14. Jesus Christ, the Prophet Who healed people miraculously.
(Through this Second one I recall that Jesus Christ Was Acknowledged As A Prophet)
----------
Chris.
The children were crying out in the Temple and they were crying out Praises to Jesus. The Role of True Believer parents is so important in the lives of their children. Children need to be taught God’s Word at home as well as in their Sunday Schools. True Believer parents who only rely on Sunday School teachers to give their children Spiritual Life are sinning against their children.

Servants Of The Lord Should Be Gentle!

‘Servants Of The Lord Should Be Gentle.’
a) Philippians 4:5. Our gentle spirit should be known to all people.
b) 2 Samuel 22:36; Psalm 18:35. Jehovah is gentle.

h) John 3:2. Jesus Christ was a Teacher that came from God. (He was and is God)
i) Acts 1:1. Jesus Christ both did and taught.
(Through this Second one I find Jesus Christ The Teacher)
---------
Chris.
Jeremiah was gentle. The Message of this Prophet of God was powerful and spectacular. It was the man and the Message that God’s Old Testament Jewish people needed at that time. Even though this Message was so strong the man, Jeremiah, who brought the Message was a gentle man. In these New Testament days I believe that God’s Shepherds and Servants should be gentle.

The Deficiencies Of A Foolish Person!

a) Wisdom is too high for them.

e) They have no capacity for Wisdom.
(Through this QT I find The Deficiencies Of A Foolish Person)
-------
‘Just The Beginning.’

b) Matthew 24:6. There will be many wars and rumours of wars but that does not mean that the end has come.
c) Matthew 24:7. The signs towards the end:-
1- Wars.
2- Famines.
3- Pestilences.
4- Earthquakes in various places.
d) Matthew 24:8. These are only the beginning of sorrows.
(Through this Second one I am reminded that this season is Just The Beginning)
-------
Chris.
Wisdom is too high for a foolish person. No matter how much time we spend trying to teach a foolish person they will not learn. This is another reason why, from an early age parents should nurture their children educationally. Most people are not born foolish, they just never get encouragement to develop.

From Servants To Friends!

‘From Servants To Friends.’
John 15:15.
a) True Believer Disciples are no longer called “servants” by Jesus.
b) Servants do not know what their Master is doing.
c) Jesus calls True Believer Disciples “friends”.
d) All the things that He heard from His Father He makes known to us.
(Through this QT I find a very Grace filled transition: From Servants To Friends)

True reception of the Holy Spirit has to do with both Faith and Obedience. Faith comes from the Word of God that we read or hear. If we truly want to be filled with the Holy Spirit we need to know what the Scriptures say about that experience. Obedience to the Lord is very simple and clear. If we want to be filled with the Holy Spirit then we need to obey the Lord.

----
Chris.
Wisdom has great value and is something to be sought, especially godly Wisdom and the Wisdom revealed in God’s Word.

p) 1 Peter 2:25. They are straying like sheep.

(This Second one shows me The Sorry State Of The Person Without Christ and stimulates me to Pray for their Salvation)
-----------------------------
Chris.
There are some unregenerate people living in the World system who exist in an environment of hate. This is a bitter and miserable way to live and is definitely not they way that God intends His Creation to live in. The only way to be delivered from the environment of hate is through a personal knowledge of Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. Through Jesus we can experience the Love of God.

(This Second one urges me to seek God for Forgiveness Of Sin And Healing)
----------------------------
Chris.
Righteousness can only be truly ours through and by the Blood of Jesus Christ. People are sometimes striving to achieve self righteousness by all sorts of means. We need to depend on Jesus Christ and have a good relationship with Him, then we can receive the Gift of Righteousness.

Chris.
We should be able to thank God for our True Brothers and Sisters in Christ. These True Brothers and Sisters are very supportive, understanding and kind when we are going through difficult times. They do not try to solve our heart problems but they identify with us, are kind towards us and help us by just “being there” for us.

Keep Away From Evil Men!

‘Keep Away From Evil Men.’
Proverbs 24:1-2.
a) Do not be envious of evil men.

We should never be envious of evil people. Although evil people sometimes seemingly attain things, in fact their lives are corrupt and lost. Evil people may get the publicity and praise of the World system but it has no Eternal meaning at all.

Only Through Christ Can We Be Righteous!

g) Romans 3:21. There is a Righteousness that comes from God that is apart from His Law.
h) Romans 3:22. This Righteousness comes through Faith in Christ Jesus to all people who Believe.

(Here is a strong reminder in this QT: Only Through Christ Can I Be Righteous)
-------------------------

(Through this Second one I want to honour and pray for Mothers)
-------------------------
Chris.
The mother’s womb is an amazing place. It is a place in which babies are knit together. All of us have this in common – we were formed in our mother’s womb. No matter what may be the circumstances of our conception we should be able to thank God for the Life that He has given to us through our mother.

New Citizenship And New Body!

‘New Citizenship And New Body.’
Philippians 3:20-21.
a) Our Citizenship, as True Believers, is in Heaven.

e) He will transform our lowly bodies.
f) They will become like His Glorious Body.
(Through this QT I have something to really look forward to: New Citizenship And A New Body)

This Second one keeps the focus correct: Frank And Honest Confession Of Our Sin To God)
------------------------
Chris.
Jesus Christ will transform our lowly bodies and they will become like His Glorious Body. There is no imperfect thing can enter the Eternal Kingdom of Heaven. There will be no sin, no pain and no tears there. The Lord God will wipe away all tears as we go there. We need to take heart and not fall down. The Psalms tell us that the Lord keeps our tears here in His bottle.

Avoid Too Much Wine!

‘Avoid Too Much Wine!’
Proverbs 23:29-35.
a) Proverbs 23:29-30. The sad state of those people who linger over wine and sample bowls of mixed wine:-

5- They have needless bruises.
6- They have bloodshot eyes.

1- When it is red.
2- When it sparkles in the cup.
3- When it goes down smoothly.

d) Proverbs 23:33. It will cause our eyes to see strange sights and our mind to imagine confusing things.
e) Proverbs 23:34-35. It will make you like one on the high seas that sleeps on the rigging of the vessel. You will say:-
1- They hit me but I am not hurt.
2- They beat me but I do not feel it.
3- When I awake where can I find another drink?
(Through this QT I find a strong and clear message: Avoid Too Much Wine)
-----------------------
‘We All Need Jesus Christ.’
Romans 5:12-19.
a) Romans 5:12-13. Through one man, Adam, sin and death entered into the World.
b) Romans 5:14. From Adam’s time death reigned.

f) Romans 5:18. This Life-giving acquittal is extended to the whole human race.

(Through this Second one I recognise that I and We All Need Jesus Christ)
-----------------------
Chris.
We do deserve punishment for our sins – that is Biblically very clear and easy to understand. Anyone who misses this point will be living a very careless life. As True Believers we can and should thank God that His Son Jesus Christ took the punishment for our sins at the Cross.

Ever Increasing Grace And Peace!

‘Ever Increasing Grace And Peace.’

a) 2 Peter 1:2. Grace and Peace increase in us.

b) Genesis 6:5. The sins of humanity are great on the Earth and all the thoughts of their heart are evil.
c) Ephesians 4:17-18. Fallen humanity’s state:-
1- Their minds are turned to that which has no profit.
2- Their thoughts are dark.
3- The Life of God is strange to them because they are without knowledge.
4- Their hearts have been made hard.
d) Romans 1:25. They have false ideas about the Word of God and they worship and honour the thing that is made rather than the Maker.
e) 2 Corinthians 4:4. The god of this World system has blinded their eyes.
(This Second one reveals to me The Sad State Of Fallen Humanity)
---------------------
Chris.
The thoughts of the hearts of fallen humanity are evil. This is one of the reasons that the Bible tells us about the wrong yoke. This yoke is the True Believer being yoked together with a non believer. This is not only to do with potential marriage partners but also to do with business partnerships and any kind of contracted partnership. Being incorrectly yoked may cause us many unnecessary struggles with evil thoughts and desires.

The Real Enemies Of The Cross Of Christ!

‘The Real Enemies Of The Cross Of Christ.’

---------------------
‘Keep On Growing.’
2 Peter 3:17-18.
a) We should be on our guard.

e) Grow in the Knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
f) Give Glory to the Lord Jesus Christ both now and forever.
(This Second one urges me to keep on growing)
---------------------
Chris.
There are some people, even Church people, who brag about shameful things. This is not proper behaviour. If we know and love our Lord Jesus Christ then the things which we communicate with each other will be positive, pure and edifying. Let us not brag about shameful things.

A Word For Sons!

‘A Word For Sons.’

‘When God Calls Us To War.’
Psalm 110:3.
a) We should serve Him willingly.
b) God’s wars are Holy wars.
c) God is strong and gives us all the strength we need.
(Through this Second one I understand how it is meant to be When God Calls Us To War)
--------------------
Chris.
God tells sons to be wise and to set their feet on the correct path. The Bible tells us in the Book of James that we can ask God for Wisdom and that if we are sincerely asking for it He will surely give it to us. There are so many sons of True Believer parents who are not living wise lives and who do not set their feet on the correct path. The least that we can do for these sons is to love them, accept them and pray for them.

This Is Eternal Life!

‘This Is Eternal Life.’
John 17:3.
a) This is Eternal Life.
b) To know God.
c) The only True God.
d) To know Jesus Christ.
e) Whom God has sent.
(This QT is so simple and yet profound for me: This Is Eternal Life)
-------------------
‘Teaching That Produces A Changed Life.’
Ephesians 4:21-24.
a) Ephesians 4:21. This Teaching is in Christ.
b) Ephesians 4:21. This Teaching is in accordance with the Truth that is in Jesus.
c) Ephesians 4:22. This Teaching needs to refer to a former way of life.
d) Ephesians 4:22. This Teaching teaches us to put off our old self which is being corrupted by its sinful desires.
e) Ephesians 4:23. This Teaching encourages us to be made new in the attitude of our minds.

g) Ephesians 4:24. Through this Teaching we understand that we are created to be like God in True Righteousness and Holiness.
(This Second one reveals to me Teaching That Produces A Changed Life)
-------------------
Chris.
This is Eternal Life… to know God. Assurance of Eternal Life is one of the first assurances of our Salvation. If we have no assurance of Eternal Life we have Biblical permission to doubt our Salvation. The Promise of God’s Word regarding the very core of the Gospel as written in John’s Gospel is that through belief in Jesus Christ we shall not perish but rather have Eternal Life.

Set A Good Example!

‘Set A Good Example.’
Philippians 3:17.
a) In unity.
b) For all brothers and sisters in fellowship with us.
c) Be a model to other people of how a True Believer should live.
d) Watch those people who set us a good example too.
(Through this QT I can see how important it is to Set A Good Example)
------------------
‘Justified, Saved And Reconciled.’
Romans 5:9-11.
