The Lord your God will then make you successful in everything you do" (Deuteronomy 30:9 NLT). Notice the word everything, not some things!

El conocimiento de la Palabra de Dios sin amor es una fuerza destructora, porque nos llena de orgullo y legalismo (1 Corintios 8:1-3), lo cual hace que nos justifiquemos en lugar de arrepentirnos por la falta de perdón.

There's no escaping the adversity waiting for each of us if we follow the path of Jesus. The stakes are high and the eternal rewards priceless. You have a vicious enemy who, to put it bluntly, wants to destroy your influence and wreck your God-assigned mission. As far as Satan's concerned, you are a threat and need to be stopped—indeed, he will be happy when you are "dead." But

As you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him. Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. (Colossians 2:6–7 NLT)

But the gate to life is narrow and the way that leads to it is hard, and there are few people who find it." (Matthew 7:13–14 TEV)

We give our lives completely because we are confident of His perfect leadership, character, and love and that He knows what's best.

Should I not partake of anything the world consumes? If so, how can I live and function in this world?

What we don't keep in focus before us eventually fades.

Dear brothers and sisters, what's the use of saying you have faith if you don't prove it by your actions? That kind of faith can't save anyone. It isn't enough just to have faith. Faith that doesn't show itself by good deeds is no faith at all—it is dead and useless.

The proof that we believe something isn't when we agree with what someone teaches us, it's when we act on it.

In God's eyes, partial or selective obedience is the same as rebellion to His authority. It is the evidence of a lack of the fear of God!

Those who truly believe will exhibit a changed nature and no longer produce the fruit of an evil one.

Conduct a study for yourself of the personal prophecies found in the New Testament. You will find only a few, and most dealt with chains, tribulations, and death that awaited those who would bring glory to God. (See John 21:18–19; Acts 20:22–23; Acts 21:10–11.) Quite different from many of the personal prophecies of today!

When Jesus questioned, "Why do you call Me 'Lord, Lord,' and not do the things which I say?" He was actually saying, "Do not deceive yourself by calling Me 'Lord' while you continue to live your life as if you owned it.

Não é que não existem pessoas que podem falar dos princípios verdadeiros da Palavra. A verdadeira questão é: será que existem homens e mulheres que se separarão e se humilharão para que o processo de purificação de Deus aconteça, para que ouçam perfeitamente o coração de Deus, a fim de proclamá-Lo?

Everything from God is good, but not everything good is from God.
