wholewheatonline.com Search Christ's Simple Message Christ's simple message was, "Repent, for the kingdom of God is at hand," (Matt. 4:17). God wants to build a new heart in you, but you must be willing to repent or change (Ezek. 18:31; 36:26; Zech. 7:9, 12). You must be willing to turn around and go another way (Matt. 13:15). You must live God's Way - the Way of peace. God's Way is not the way of evil, but the way of good. Wouldn't it be something if God said He was good but He never did any good? He wouldn't really be good then; nor would He be God, would He (Psalm 145:17)? Wouldn't it be something if someone claimed to be a disciple of Jesus Christ and didn't continually live a life of doing good as Jesus did? He really wouldn't be a disciple then, would He? God is good because He does good continually, just as a true disciple of Christ does (Acts 9:36). Yes, a true disciple of Jesus Christ is one who does deeds of kindness and charity continually, day by day. He is a "do-gooder" for God, rather than a "good-for-nothing" for Satan (3 John 11; 1 John 3:10). God wants you to imitate Him so He can form Jesus Christ's nature in you and, at the same time, crush Satan's nature in you and bring it under control (Eph. 5:1; 1 Cor. 11:1; Gal. 4:19; Rom. 16:20). It's an easy and pleasant process, but it does require obedience on your part (Matt. 11:30; Acts 5:32). After all, a faith with no obedience is no faith at all (James 2:20, 22, 24, 26). The world is full of people who have no light in them because they are into so much sin. They are full of darkness. God is making people who never had light into 1,000 watt light bulbs. God wants them to practice righteousness daily for Him. He wants people to glorify Him by doing good works so their lights will begin to shine for others to see (Matt. 5:16). Granted, when you start a life of overcoming evil by continually doing good works, your light may only be 25 watts, but eventually it will increase and increase as your old nature fades. God's new nature will then begin to be formed in you, with your cooperation, of course! Be careful not to do your good works for reasons of being noticed by men. Instead, do your good works so people notice God in you (Matt. 6:1; Eph. 6:6). Do all that you do in the name of Jesus Christ, as we have been commanded (Col. 3:17). God bless you as you begin to live a life that is a blessing to others-your new life in Christ!

wholewheatonline.com Search How to Enter the Kingdom of God "Repent, for the kingdom of God is at hand," declared John the Baptist (Matt. 3:2). Then, Jesus Christ came with the same message (Matt. 4:17). Later, He instructed His disciples to proclaim the same message - the one and only true message of Jesus Christ (Matt. 10:7). What is that complete message? It is about the kingdom of heaven. What about it? It is at hand, right now, at this moment. How do you get into the kingdom of heaven? Repent! Change! Turn around! Stop living one way and start living another. The Bible says Satan is the god of this world and his subjects are those who are held captive to do his will (2 Cor. 4:4; John 12:31; 2 Tim. 2:26). Jesus says that only those who do the Will of His Father will be freed from Satan’s control and enter the kingdom of heaven (Rom. 16:20; Matt. 7:21). He says this kingdom is located within you - in your heart - and that you enter it by practicing righteousness for Him daily (Luke 17:21; Matt. 6:1). Christ also says your righteousness must surpass the hypocritical stage of the scribes and Pharisees (Matt. 5:20). You must eventually do God’s Will from your heart (Eph. 6:6). No wonder Luke 16:16 says you must force your way into the kingdom. Jesus Christ says, "Strive [push yourself] to enter by the narrow door" (Luke 13:24). He says, "By your perseverance, you will win your souls" (Luke 21:19, 1977 NASB). Who is there to harm you if you prove zealous for good deeds? (1 Peter 3:13). God is pleased with such sacrifices as practicing righteousness, doing good deeds and sharing what you have with others (Heb. 13:16; Luke 14:13). The Bible says the one who does good is of God and is righteous (3 John 11; 1 John 3:7). Let us not grow weary of doing good, because this is the central message of the kingdom of heaven (Gal. 6:9; 2 Thess. 3:13; Rom. 6:13). Overcoming our evil natures by doing good for God is the narrow gate by which we enter the kingdom of God (Rom. 12:21; Gen. 8:21; Prov. 14:12; Eph. 2:1-3). We must seek first His kingdom by practicing His righteousness in our daily lives (Matt. 6:33). Then God will begin to bless us and change our ways to conform to His Ways (Eph. 5:1). This is the way to enter the good life that God has waiting for all who will repent and be servants of others.

wholewheatonline.com Search Deception Deception is defined as the act of causing someone to accept as true or valid, that which is false or invalid. It comes in many forms and we should continually be aware, when we are striving to live for God by the truth of His Word. Revelations 12:9 tells us that Satan is deceiving the whole world. Even Simon Peter was sifted as wheat, by Satan, as it talks about in Luke 22:31. He doesn’t want anyone to overcome evil (Satan) by continually doing good for God. Anyone who does overcome is imitating Jesus Christ, and Satan loses another subject in his kingdom (Psalm 37:27; Rom. 12:21). 2 Peter 1:10-11 says; Therefore, brethren, be all the more diligent to make certain about His calling and choosing you; for as long as you practice these things, you will never stumble; for in this way the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be abundantly supplied to you. Jesus warns all His followers in the last days to be careful and not be religiously misled (Matt. 24:5, 24; Luke 21:8). How will you know, and how can you be sure when you are being deceived? What does God’s word say? In order to have a better understanding of the Bible, we should approach it as a lawyer by proving all things with Scripture (Acts 17:11). In Matthew 24, Jesus was asked by His disciples what would happen at the end of the age of man’s rule on this earth. The first subject Jesus addressed in Matthew 24 concerned those who would come preaching in His name (Matt. 24:5). They would deceive and mislead many from the narrow Way that only very few find (Matt. 7:14). Religious deception, then, must be the number one obstacle to finding the truth of God. Matthew 24:11 says; Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many. How can one know for certain that the person he is listening to knows the truth, instead of religious lies and half-truths? Jesus said we would know them by their good deeds or fruits (Col. 1:10; Matt. 7:20). God’s true ministers must preach the obedience that is a part of the faith of Jesus Christ (Acts 6:7). Only through this obedience are one's sins covered by the blood of Jesus Christ (1 Peter 1:2). You must walk in the light to have your sins covered by the blood of Jesus Christ (1 John 1:7). There is one faith, one truth and it must be practiced daily (1 John 1:6; John 3:21). That truth is the Way of righteousness—the Way that Jesus Christ lived and we are to imitate (Matt. 21:32). Jesus not only came to show us how to live to please the Father, He also told us how to live by His very own words. He commanded us to glorify the Father daily by doing righteous good works and thus, let our lights shine before others as godly examples of righteousness (Matt. 5:16). Jesus said that many who would follow Him would do more good works than He did (John 14:12). This is how you learn righteousness—by engaging in it daily like Jesus Christ our example did (Jer. 9:24). Consider the momentous impact that Jesus’ words and actions had on those who observed Him and heard Him speak daily. Consider the effect the apostles had on society at large, and how they were hated by many of the established religions of their day—members of religions who claimed they worshiped God in the right manner. Many do not realize that there were many false churches preaching in the name of Jesus Christ in Jesus’ day (Acts 19:13; Luke 9:49; Matt. 7:22-23). At one time, Jesus had more than 80 disciples who were following Him; including the original twelve apostles. Later, most of them left and only the original twelve remained (Luke 6:13; Luke 10:1; John 6:66-68). Could those who fell away from Jesus Christ have started their own groups or churches? This, of course, would be very feasible. What, then, was Jesus Christ’s advice to those who would seek Him and His truth from His word at the end of the age of man’s rule on earth? Jesus said boldly, “DO NOT GO AFTER THOSE who come preaching in My name” (Luke 21:8). How, then, is one to seek God? One seeks God by diligently studying (not just reading) the Scriptures to find out what kind of conduct pleases God (2 Tim. 2:15 King James Version). We are not to remain fools but understand what God’s Will is. Once we know what God's Will is, He desires that we perform it daily to be pleasing to Him (Eph. 5:17; John 5:30; 7:17; 8:29; 1 John 3:22). It is a fact that one is either pleasing, and serving, God daily by doing His Will or one is pleasing, and serving, Satan daily by not doing it (Matt. 6:24). In Matthew 6:10 we are told to do God’s Will upon this earth daily as it is being done in heaven by God, if we are to be pleasing to Him. It then behooves us to know what that Will is, and to know it well, so that we can walk the straight and narrow Way every day to please Him. God is once again going to determine who the righteous are and who the wicked are, who will become sheep and who will remain goats, who will become whole wheat and who will remain tares (Mal. 3:18; Matt. 25:33-46; 13:24-30, Rev. 22:12). God wants to know who will be a servant of others for Him, like Jesus Christ and Dorcas were (Acts 9:36). This is how to be a doer of the word, be holy by living holy and no longer be religiously deceived (James 1:22). Satan is used by God in heaven to test humans to see whether they will allow themselves to be deceived. God wants to see who is going to receive a love for His truth so as to be saved, and who is not. God wants to find out who could care less. 2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 says; And with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved. For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false, in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness. These people are the wicked, that God must sort out before He returns to make a world where only righteousness dwells (Mal. 3:18). This is that great test God is going to bring upon the whole world (Rev. 3:10). Jesus said it is very important for a person to follow Him and not get sidetracked. He especially warns us about those that stray from His truth and message in 2 Timothy 4:3-4; For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths. He warns us in Romans 16:17 as well; Now I urge you, brethren, keep your eye on those who cause dissensions and hindrances contrary to the teaching which you learned, and turn away from them. Look up in your dictionary what it means to 'turn away' and its synonyms. God is very serious about this (2 Thess. 3:6; 1 Cor. 15:33; Prov. 12:26). He used the example of one disciple who wanted to go bury his father, warning us not to let earthly distractions keep us from obeying and doing God’s Will above everything else (Matt. 8:21-22). Deuteronomy 30:17-18 says; But if your heart turns away and you will not obey, but are drawn away and worship other gods and serve them, I declare to you today that you shall surely perish. Jesus says that if you do not continue to follow Him because you love your friends, relatives, children or husband more than God are not worthy of eternal life (Matt. 10:37). This is one of the biggest tests that a few may experience. The Bible is full of examples of another kind of deception; when we are deceived by our own human nature. It is usually because of strife, bitterness, envy, jealousy, competitiveness or an unforgiving spirit (Gal. 5:20-26). These attributes are not from God, but from the devil and we should watch out for them. They are of the flesh and not from God’s Holy Spirit (Rom. 8:6; Gal. 5:16). Hebrews 12:15 warns us; See to it that no one comes short of the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springing up causes trouble, and by it many be defiled. I have seen many a person’s faith suffer shipwreck because of these things (1 Tim. 1:19). I have seen others become so good at justifying themselves, that they sound like intellectuals or philosophers (Luke 16:15). I have seen many make God’s simple truth, very complicated in their lives. I have seen the power of Satan work through those who would not first be followers, but wanted to be teachers before they taught themselves (James 3:1). I have seen wives control their husbands and destroy their faith by doing so (1 Peter 3:1-6, 8, 9). I have seen men do the same (1 Peter 3:7-9). I have seen many who were called to live holy, pure lives begin to think thoughts which are far removed from what is holy and pure (Matt. 16:23; Rom. 8:5-6, Ps. 7:9, Luke 6:45). As people trying to live for God, we are going to be misunderstood, misquoted and have evil spoken of us (Job 15:35; Neh. 6:8, Ps. 83:5, Ps. 119:113, Prov. 24:2, Acts 14:2). If we did not have these trials, we would not grow, nor would the Lord be working with us any longer. God wants to know who is going to endure (Matt. 10:22). He wants to know who is going to keep on keeping on. God tests those who live His Way to see who will devour others and cause dissension and disharmony (1 John 1:6; Rom. 16:17; Gal. 5:15; 2 Tim. 2:14-15). Jesus said, “Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I came to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and a man’s enemies will be the members of his household." (Matt. 10:34-36). Yes, all who live for the Lord will suffer persecution (2 Tim. 3:10-12). If we do not continue to follow Jesus Christ, and keep His Ways and overcome by doing so, we are not worthy of eternal life (Matt. 10:38). Each one of us must answer to God in regard to the tests and trials we all must go through, and if we allow ourselves to stray from the truth of His word (1 Tim. 1:5-7; 2 Pet. 2:20-22). Your spiritual walk is between you and the Lord, and we will each stand before God to give an account for our lives (Rev. 20:12; 2 Tim. 4:8; Heb. 4:12; Rom. 2:16; John 12:48). We are called with a free will and we must make the choice, for ourselves, every day if we are going to live by God’s Ways (Deut. 30:15-20; Rev. 22:12). Whole Wheat strives to help you through these tests and trials by encouraging you with God’s word and constantly reminding you of the one and only truth that saves (Ps. 7:10; 119:160; Zech. 8:16, John 14:6). Seek the truth and it shall set you free (John 8:32). We strive to help you persevere and keep your hand on the plow (Luke 9:62). We strive to help you know how to please God, how to live godly, how to overcome and how to receive answered prayers, using the examples given in Scripture. Most of all, we strive to help you know God, prove that He exists and be His friend and disciple (John 15:8). The foundation of Whole Wheat has always been proving what is true, through Scripture, by studying your own Bible. The best way to learn is to convict yourself. Romans 14:22 says; The faith which you have, have as your own conviction before God. It is your choice whether or not you use the resources we offer (2 Pet. 1:12-13; 3:1). They are here for you as a support and to share with others. As you continue to apply this message and strengthen your faith in Christ Jesus, then God can continually reveal more to you as you spiritually mature. Then you will not be among those deceived, but will be prepared to meet the Lord instead (Luke 1:17; Rev. 3:7-8).

wholewheatonline.com Search The Purpose of Life - to find God Many people are searching for the purpose of life. They are looking for the reason they were born, as well as trying to decide where they are going when they die. Many people are racing to and fro saying they must “find themselves.” Think about that for a moment. What are they really saying? They’re mixed up. They don’t know what they want. They say one thing and do another. They don’t feel good about themselves. They feel sorry for themselves. They’re selfish and want things only for themselves, even at the cost of hurting others. They want wealth, and if they get it, they still want more (Prov. 28:20, 22; 23:4; Haggai 1:6). Wake up, everyone! Isn’t it time to wake up? The purpose of life is to find God. God says that if you will seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might, you will find Him (Deut. 4:29). But if you don’t, you won’t. You seek God by beginning to live your life to please Him each day instead of ignoring Him each day (Acts 10:35). If you do ignore Him daily, He will ignore you daily, but if you live to please Him daily, He lives to please you daily. Sure sounds right, doesn’t it? That’s because it is right (1 John 3:22)! Please look up Romans 3:10-12, Psalm 14:1-3 and 53:1-3. Then, underline these phrases: “There is none righteous,” “There is none who understands,” and “There is none who seeks for God.” Next, underline: “There is none who does good [for God], not even one.” Why do you suppose Jesus Christ said we are to glorify the Father daily by doing good works, thus letting our lights shine (Matt. 5:16; 25:33-40)? He said this because that’s how you seek God, find Him and obey Him. It’s how you keep Jesus Christ’s words (John 8:51). But you cannot get weary and give up (Gal. 6:9; 2 Thess. 3:13). Rejoice! You have found the purpose of life…but only if you do it, and put Jesus Christ’s words into daily action in your life!

wholewheatonline.com Search Where Wisdom Ends and Faith Begins Wisdom is the proper use of knowledge. When that knowledge is derived from philosophy or from the higher learning of man, it is termed human knowledge or philosophy. This type of wisdom is of the world and is foolishness according to the word of God (Eccl. 12:11-12). There is another wisdom, and it is from God. Just as God gives His Holy Spirit to those who obey Him, He also gives His wisdom liberally to those who ask Him (Acts 5:32; James 1:5). There is little godly wisdom in this world because God’s words lie dormant in the Bible, waiting for people to obey them. God’s wisdom is based on His laws. His laws are based on His Ways, and His Ways represent His Will. As His followers, we are to do His Will daily on this earth as it is done in heaven (Matt. 6:10). King Solomon was God’s example to the world of how much wisdom He is capable of bestowing on each of us if we will seek and obey Him by serving others for God’s glory (1 Kings 3:9-12). When we are zealously obeying the Lord by keeping His deeds and overcoming our evil side, our faith in this spiritual Way of life increases. As we grow daily in the Lord by imitating Him, our faith grows also (Eph. 5:1). Unless we become daily doers of His words, it is impossible for our faith to grow. James 2:22 says our faith is made complete by our works. A transformation begins from the inside as we continue to live to please the Lord each day on the outside. Our love for God increases, as does our faith. As we continue to serve Him by serving others, we learn to love one another from the heart (1 Thess. 4:9; 3:12). God causes the necessary growth and soon we become new creatures (1 Cor. 3:7; Gal. 6:15). When we have done everything we can do in any given situation and the trial or test continues, then our faith in God takes over. As doers of God’s word we can have full assurance that there is an answer or solution forthcoming from God (James 1:22). This full assurance comes when we live to do what is right in God’s sight on a daily basis (1 John 3:22). There will be situations when we can do nothing and we must rely solely on the Lord to come to our rescue. Our daily righteous Way of life guarantees the Lord’s response to our needs in these times of distress. Blind faith, on the other hand, is when we force a test on God by allowing something wrong to continue without doing anything about it. It is only when we do all we can according to the wisdom God gives us, and then rely on the Lord, that all will go well. Remember though, we must do our part by using God’s wisdom, instead of our own (Prov. 3:5). If we let our children do something dangerous and claim that God will protect them, we are forcing a test on God. We cannot allow our children to be in situations that could harm them mentally, physically or morally, and then expect God to protect them in that situation. This is forcing a test on God. It is not using godly wisdom, but rather the blind wisdom of this world. God’s wisdom warns those who desire to love and obey Him not to keep bad company. Evil people corrupt good morals (1 Cor. 15:33). Violence breeds violence. But there are some who continue to live by their own thoughts, apart from what God’s law book teaches. They are not living by God’s Ways, but continuing to live by their own ways and thoughts which are not good. Yet, they expect that if they have faith in God, the Lord will protect them in every situation. Not so! They are out of God’s Will so their prayers are not according to God’s Will. Faith without works is dead (James 2:26). Faith without daily obedience to God is dead. Faith without God’s wisdom is dead. Faith without doing God’s Will daily is dead. Faith without daily prayer is dead. Faith without the knowledge of God’s word is dead, so continue to study to show yourself approved to God (2 Tim. 2:15). Remember the big three. Put God first, then others, then yourself: 1. Study God’s word daily (Acts 17:11). 2. Apply it by serving others for God (Matt. 25:40). 3. Pray for others first each day, and then for your own needs (1 Peter 3:12). Study, apply and pray. This will assure the growth, the wisdom and the full assurance that the Lord will answer your prayers. Clean out the old leaven—all your ways that are not presently pleasing to God—and become a new lump, a brand new creation (1 Cor. 5:7; Gal. 6:15). When you pray, make sure that you have done your part in the best way possible. Then you will have the full assurance that your prayers will be respected by the Lord. This is where wisdom ends and faith begins. PREV NEXT 3 SIMPLE STEPS TO GET STARTED MORE BIBLE STUDIES PODCASTS HOME All About the Bible PDF © 2025 Whole Wheat International

wholewheatonline.com Search Happiness Is... Just as there is only one truth, there also is only one happiness. True happiness comes from a warm relationship with God. Abraham, Noah, Daniel and a host of other people have had this true happiness in the past. What is true happiness? Happiness is: * Finding the true purpose for your existence (Eph. 2:10). * Knowing God's Will and then performing it daily in your life (Matt. 6:10; 7:21; Luke 8:21; 1 John 2:17; 1 Peter 2:15; 4:2, 6; Col. 1:10). * Having the attitude of a servant toward others at all times as Jesus Christ, our Savior and example, did (Rom. 15:2-3; 1 Cor. 10:24; Matt. 20:26-28; 23:11). * Having the knowledge of the truth - God's word - and being set free from all religious deception, with its satanic tentacles that grip the earth (John 8:31-32; Rev. 12:9). * Being set free from all pagan religious traditions of men that make the worship of Jesus Christ in vain (Mark 7:7). * Receiving answered prayer because you are constantly doing God's Will and are pleasing in His sight (1 John 3:22; John 9:31). * Hating what is evil and loving what is good (Psalm 45:7; 97:10). * Hating worldliness and the things that war against the Spirit, such as dirty movies and magazines, swearing, lying, stealing, lusting, drunkenness, etc., for these things are not pleasing to God (Rom. 8:13; Gal. 5:18-20). * Always being patient toward others (1 Thess. 5:14; 2 Tim. 2:24; James 5:8; 1 Cor. 13:4). * Always forgiving others and not holding any bitterness toward them (Matt. 6:14-15; Eph. 4:31). * Always living to please God within your marriage and having happy and obedient children (1 Cor. 7:2-5; Prov. 22:6). * Always having peace and not letting those who have no peace take yours (Rom. 14:19; Psalm 34:14). * Always having faith in Christ Jesus that He will supply all your needs after you have done God's Will, and knowing that all will go right for the righteous (Is. 3:10, Matt. 6:25-33). * Going to God and His word for the truth, instead of to books written by men, which are a great source of religious confusion (Eccl. 12:12). * Keeping life simple by keeping it pure (1 Thess. 4:11; Phil. 4:8; Matt. 5:8). * Having the trusting attitude of a child toward the Lord at all times (Matt. 18:3, Psalm 131:1-2). * Learning who Jesus Christ really is by studying God's word, instead of believing what man says He is (2 Tim. 2:15). * Studying God's word for the answers to all of life's problems and questions (2 Tim. 3:16-17). * Wearing out your Bible for God by reading it every day and highlighting the Scriptures (Acts 17:11). In conclusion, true happiness is knowing God's Ways and putting them into action in your daily life. This is the only way to be a friend of God. Remember always, Jesus Christ is God and we must keep only His words in order to be truly happy and never see death (John 8:51).

wholewheatonline.com Search Have You Been Deceived? Jesus warns all His followers in the last days to be careful and not be religiously misled (Matt. 24:5, 24; Luke 21:8). How will you know, and how can you be sure when you are being deceived? What does God’s word say? Titus 2:14 says that those who follow Jesus Christ are purified and are zealous for good deeds. Titus 2:7 says in all things show yourself to be an example of good deeds. The apostle Paul told his ministers to constantly tell those who have believed in God to be careful to engage in good works for God’s glory (Titus 3:8). Halley’s Bible Handbook says in regard to the book of Titus; “The grand emphasis of this Epistle (book) is “Good Works.” Not that we are saved by good works, but by His mercy (3:5), and justified by His Grace (3:7). But because of this we are under strict obligation to be “zealous for good works” (2:14); and “an example of good works” (2:7); “ready unto every good work” (3:1); “be careful to maintain good works” (3:8) maintain good works for necessary uses” (3:14). It goes on to say that one of the indictments of false teachers was that they were “unto every good work reprobates” which means they express their disapproval of good works and are not of God’s elect, if you look up the word reprobate. It then references Titus 1:16; “They profess to know God but by their deeds they deny Him, being detestable and disobedient and worthless for any good deed.” Could anything be more clear? If Satan can confuse the issue of good works, a confused Christian will have none and, as a result, he will continue living an unrepentant life. He will not be imitating the way God lives (Eph. 5:1). He will not be keeping God’s Will on earth, which is good works, as it is being kept in heaven (Matt. 6:10). Millions of self-proclaimed Christians are deceived and live disobedient, detestable lives before God because they remain worthless for good works for God’s glory (Titus 1:16). They are denying God! This is the broad way which the majority of Christians are treading down (Matt. 7:13). What, then, is the narrow Way that leads to eternal life which very few are finding (Matt. 7:14)? If you know that Jesus Christ lived righteously and did acts of righteousness continually like Dorcas (Acts 9:36), you know that every true believer who continually practices righteousness daily as Jesus did will be born of Him (1 John 2:29). Does this fact hit you like a hammer (Jer. 23:29)? You must daily imitate Christ to be like Christ, to clothe yourself with Christ and to have His nature formed in you (Gal. 4:19). Jesus Christ cannot be formed in you unless you do the things Jesus told you to do (Luke 6:46-48). Countless numbers of professing Christians have been told an incomplete gospel on the vital subject of works, and, as a result, they have none. If Jesus was zealous for good works for God’s glory—and He was—shouldn’t people imitate Him (1 Cor. 11:1)? The apostle Peter said, for as long as you practice these things you will never stumble (2 Peter 1:10). What was he talking about? Let’s read it and know that there is something to do for Jesus Christ if we are to be saved. Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ have received a faith as precious as ours: Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and goodness. Through these He has given us His very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. For if you possess these qualities and they are increasing in measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins. Therefore, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you practice these things, you will never fail, and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (2 Peter 1:1-11). The narrow Way, then, is perfecting holiness in the Lord by imitating Jesus daily and putting His words into daily practice (John 8:51). The broad way is to neglect these teachings. False ministers practice lawlessness (Matt. 7:22-23), while Jesus’ true ministers continually practice righteousness, preach and teach righteousness, and live the Way that Jesus lived. He lived this Way to give us an example to follow, so we should do likewise. It is very clear, the saved are the sheep (Matt. 25:33-40). They are the daily doers of God’s word (James 1:22). They serve others continually for the glory of God (Matt. 23:11; Mark 9:35). They are the ones who glorify God daily by living a life of good works as Jesus told us all to do. This is how they let their lights shine before others (Matt. 5:16). Satan hates good works done for God’s glory. He wants people to stay worthless for good works like him and his ministers who preach that message (Titus 1:16). He doesn’t want anyone to overcome evil (Satan) by continually doing good for God. Anyone who does overcome is imitating Jesus Christ and Satan loses another subject in his kingdom (Psalm 37:27; 2 Peter 1:10-11; Rom. 12:21). Now you can see the difference between the broad way and the narrow way, so turn the right way. Start living the right way and become zealous for serving and loving others as Jesus did for God. This is the righteous Way that Jesus came to show us. PREV NEXT 3 SIMPLE STEPS TO GET STARTED MORE BIBLE STUDIES PODCASTS HOME All About the Bible PDF © 2025 Whole Wheat International

wholewheatonline.com Search The Two Great Commandments Amplified Matt. 22:37 — Jesus said unto him, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.” If those who call themselves believers knew how to love the Lord with all their heart, soul and mind, they would be zealous for good works done in Jesus Christ’s name (Titus 1:16; 2:7, 14; 3:8). Matt. 22:38 — “This is the first and great commandment." If this Scripture were understood, people would be living words of God. living by the words of God, living by every word of God, living like God, living for God and imitating God (Deut. 8:3; 1 Pet. 4:2; 1 Pet. 4:11; Eph. 5:1). They would be serving others continually for the glory of God, being servants of the most and being doers of His word (James 1:22). Matt. 22:39 — “And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.” Gal. 5:14 — For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. This Bible study will prove that serving God is serving others with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind (Deut. 11:13). 1 Cor. 13:13 — And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. Charity means affection, compassion, mercy, love, benevolence, good will; It is also that disposition of heart which inclines men to think favorably of their fellow man. Good will toward men or liberality to the poor consists of giving money to the poor, doing good for those in need, relieving people in distress, liberality in gifts and services to promote public service, and liberality in judging men and their actions (James 1:27). It includes thinking the best of people. The highest form of charity is charity toward the uncharitable (Luke 6:35). It includes any act of kindness toward another and being liberal in the judgment of others (James 5:9). 1 Cor. 13:5 (KJV) — Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil. (NIV) — It [love] is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. A person who lives godly—lives for God—no longer seeks to please self or live a selfish life, but rather, now lives to please and serve others in any and all areas by living charitably (1 Pet. 4:2). A disciple of Jesus Christ is kind in all His deeds and in all his actions, and is continually serving others for the glory of God (Matt. 5:16). 1 Cor. 10:24 (KJV) — Let no man seek his own, but every man another’s wealth. (NIV) — Nobody should seek his own good, but the good of others. It pleases God when we become servants of the most by continually serving and doing our best to please others (Matt. 23:11). We are not to live sinful lives, living for our flesh and self, but we are to live only to do the Will of God, which is serving others and helping God by continually helping others in need, in Jesus Christ’s name (1 Pet. 4:2; Col. 3:17). Gal. 5:13 (NIV) — You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love. (KJV) — For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. We are free from religious suppression as was found under the law of Moses with its priests, temple worship, tithing, sacrifices, holy days and Sabbath day (Matt. 11:28 AMP). Is there any question that God’s love is shown by words and by deeds of kindness (1 John 3:17-18)? Gal. 5:14 — The entire law is summed up in a single command: “Love your neighbor as yourself. Now the entire law of Moses has been replaced with the command to love others by putting them first before self (Rom. 7:6 AMP). Rev. 22:12 — “Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done." If you continue to do nothing for God each day, then every day that you live, you remain unrepentant, unrewarded, unreconciled, unsaved and you continue to be under the wrath of God because of disobedience (John 3:36; Luke 6:46). 1 Tim. 5:10 (NIV) — And [the godly woman] is well known for her good deeds, such as bringing up children, showing hospitality, washing the feet of the saints, helping those in trouble and devoting herself to all kinds of good deeds. (KJV) — Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints’ feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work. A woman of God is well known for her good deeds toward others, she will bring up obedient, submissive and courteous children, and she is continually showing hospitality to others and sharing her home with others who need a place to stay (Proverbs 31:10-31). Acts 10:1-2 (KJV) — There was a certain man in Cæsarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band, a devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God always. (NIV) — At Cæsarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was known as the Italian Regiment. He and all his family were devout and God-fearing; he gave generously to those in need and prayed to God regularly. Cornelius showed God continual respect by giving generously to those in need, personally; and his whole family was following his example. They prayed for others all the time; therefore, their requests were heard by God. Acts 10:34-35 (KJV) — Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, “Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.” (NIV) — Then Peter began to speak: “I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism, but accepts men from every nation who fear him and do what is right.” Any person who will continually live a charitable life, continually doing good for God by serving others, and learn righteousness by practicing righteousness and continually doing good toward others, will be accepted by God (Acts 10:35). Fearing God is showing God respect daily by keeping, doing and performing God’s Ways in all that we do (Deut. 8:6). Anything that is right is worth doing for God (Col. 1:10). 2 Chron. 6:14 (NIV) — He said: “O Lord, God of Israel, there is no god like you in heaven or on earth—you who keep your covenant of love with your servants who continue wholeheartedly in Your Way.” (KJV) — And said, “O Lord God of Israel, there is no god like thee in the heaven, nor in the earth; which keepest covenant, and showest mercy unto Thy servants, that walk before Thee with all their hearts.” When you keep God’s Ways with all your heart, that is when your light shines before others and they can see your good works (Matt. 5:16; 6:1). Keeping God’s Way is easy and pleasant, and it allows God to crush Satan and put Him under your heel (Matt. 11:30; Rom. 16:20). 2 Chron. 15:7 (NIV) — But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded. (KJV) — Be ye strong, therefore, and let not your hands, be weak: for your work shall be rewarded. Yes, a disciple of Jesus Christ has works and they are all good. They persevere in doing good because they seek to be glorified and honored and given salvation and eternal life (Rom. 2:7). When you are strong in good works and do not slack off in doing your good works, you will receive your reward from God. That reward is having Christ’s nature formed in you, which results in you becoming a new creature (Gal. 4:19; 6:9; 15). Rom. 2:6 — Who [God] will give to each person according to what he has done. If this Scripture means what it says, many people will receive absolutely nothing from the Lord. Rom. 2:7 — To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life. It would be glorious if everyone who claimed to be a disciple of Jesus Christ would fulfill this Scripture daily. Rom. 2:8 — But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger. Those who continue to ignore God daily and live their lives for self will receive wrath and anger (Ezek. 7:8; Mic. 5:15). Those who will not practice the truth daily will remain of the devil (1 John 3:10). Remember you cannot reject the truth unless you know it and refuse to do it. Rejecting the truth is denying the Lord by being worthless for good deeds (Titus 1:16). Those who reject the truth are those who continue living detestable and disobedient lives before God. God will give them a strong delusion so they will follow the beast who is shortly to come (2 Thess. 2:10-12). Rom. 2:9 — There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. Trouble and distress is the way of the unconverted, the wicked and those who remain under a constant curse from God. Rom. 2:10 — But glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile Notice, peace comes from doing good for God. Glory, honor and eternal life come to those who live in the Way of righteousness, which is a new and living Way (Matt. 21:32; Heb. 10:20). Repentance leads to life (Acts 11:18). This Way of life causes no small disturbance (Acts 19:23). You enter the kingdom within by forcing yourself to do what is right and pleasing in God’s sight daily (Luke 17:21; 16:16). Practicing righteousness until we do the Father’s Will from our heart is how we achieve this Way of life (Matt. 5:20; 6:1; Eph. 6:6). Matt. 16:27 — “For the Son of Man is going to come in His Father’s glory with His angels, and then He will reward each person according to what he has done.” If you have done nothing for God yesterday or today, and you do not plan to do anything for Him tomorrow, you are deluded if you think you are saved (James 1:22). To live is to serve others (Matt. 20:28). Eph. 6:6 (NIV) — Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but like slaves of Christ, doing the Will of God from your heart. (KJV) — Not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the Will of God from the heart. If you are doing good for reasons of repentance, to please God and not men, and you are doing your good in Jesus’ name for the glory of the Father and to overcome evil, then righteousness will eventually come from your heart, because God causes the growth (1 Cor. 3:7). God’s Will is righteousness; and He loves those who practice righteousness and practice honesty at all times (Psalm 11:7; 106:3). Righteousness is a sacrifice but it is well pleasing to the Lord (Psalm 4:5; Heb. 13:16). Eph. 6:7-8 (NIV) — Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men, because you know that the Lord Will reward everyone for whatever good he does whether he is slave or free. (KJV) — With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men: Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free. When you serve someone, help someone, or cheer up someone, do it willingly, wholeheartedly, with zeal and compassion like you are serving the Lord. Do you really believe that you will receive blessings from the Lord by continually doing good for God? Do you believe that you seek the kingdom first by practicing His righteousness and by keeping His deeds and overcoming? Do you believe that many who have followed Jesus Christ in the past did more righteous deeds than Jesus did while He was here on this earth (John 14:12)? These things are true. 2 Kings 20:3 (NIV) — Hezekiah said, “Remember, O Lord, how I have walked before you faithfully and with wholehearted devotion and have done what is good in your eyes.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly. (KJV) — “I beseech thee, O LORD, remember now how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight.” And Hezekiah wept sore. Hezekiah was given 15 more years to live because he pleased God by doing what is good in God’s sight (2 Kings 20:6). 2 Chron. 15:2 — And he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, “Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The Lord is with you, while ye be with Him; and if ye seek Him, He will be found of you; but if ye forsake Him, He will forsake you.” The Lord is with you as long as you are serving Him by doing what is right. If you seek Him by doing good continually, so as to reform your wicked ways, He will be found by you; but if you discontinue doing good for God He will forsake you forever. 2 Chron. 7:14 — If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. Notice, to seek God’s face you must turn from your wicked ways by doing good. Of course the good done must be deeds meant for repentance, righteous deeds, which is God’s Will (Acts 26:20). Then God Will hear your prayers and forgive your sins (John 9:31). 2 Chron. 6:23 — Then hear thou from heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, by requiting the wicked, by recompensing his way upon his own head; and by justifying the righteous, by giving him according to his righteousness. God is forgiving their sins because they repented. Acts 9:36 (KJV) — Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and alms deeds which she did. (NIV) — In Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (which, when translated, is Dorcas), who was always doing good and helping the poor. Those who are always doing good for God and those who are always personally helping the poor are truly born again (1 John 2:29). Matt. 6:14-15 — “For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” Matt. 22:37-40 — Jesus replied: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.” When you serve God by using your body as an instrument of righteousness, this is considered by God your spiritual service of worship (Rom. 6:13; 12:1). This is pure religion, undefiled (James 1:27). This is how you love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.

wholewheatonline.com Search Make Your Ways Straight There are many different expressions in the Bible instructing believers to walk with singleness of mind, singleness of eye or singleness of heart. Hebrews 12:13 commands, "Make straight paths for your feet." Making straight paths for your feet is walking in righteousness at all times - continually. To always walk in righteousness is to always please the Lord. To always please the Lord we must constantly remember to please Him with our thoughts, words and deeds (Col. 1:10). We must refrain from sin and engage in those things that are good, edifying, honorable and profitable for others (Titus 3:8). Walking with singleness of mind and heart is being intent on serving and pleasing only God (Matt. 6:24). He is number one in your life, in your heart and in your mind. You must make Him number one in your actions. Psalm 106:3 says, "How blessed are those who practice righteousness at all times." God will do good to those who are good, but you cannot be good unless you do good for God daily, in secret (Psalm 125:4; 37:27; Matt: 5:16). You must not do your good because you want people to know of the good you do for others (Matt. 6:1). To make your ways straight, then, please the Lord in all you do. Seek God by doing good to please Him. Turn away from a life of sin to a life of righteousness (Rom. 12:21). This is the way of peace (Luke 1:79). It is also the way to prosperity, blessings, answered prayer, joy and every good thing (Prov. 13:21; 1 John 3:22; Heb. 13:21). So do not deprive yourself of the good life with the free gift of eternal life that comes from living a godly life. It is the life Jesus Christ lived, and He came to show us how easy and pleasant it is (Matt. 11:30). You will soon be a new you, if to His Ways you remain true (Gal. 6:15; Col. 3:10, 12-17).

wholewheatonline.com Search Honor the Lord with Your Wealth We are told to live by every word of God because God wants to teach us how to be zealous for good works (Titus 2:14). He wants to teach us to be giving, loving, sharing, caring and charitable people. He wants to make us into the servants of the most (Mark 10:43-45). God wants you to be a willing giver, from the heart, not a person who gives only out of a sense of guilt. He wants to bless you in your life until you have no more needs (Mal. 3:10). He wants you to reap bountifully. He wants to give you abundance so you can have abundance for every good deed (2 Cor. 9:8). He wants you to trade in your old life of getting for a new life of giving. He wants you to multiply your substance or money (seed for sowing) so you may increase your righteousness (2 Cor. 9:10-11). God promises that if you give, He will inspire others to pour blessings into your lap until it is running over. To whatever extent you serve others, God Himself will return blessings to you (Luke 6:38). The Lord is not only telling you to do good with your money, but also to serve others with your time. However, where a man’s treasure (money) is, that is where his heart is also (Matt. 6:21). When you honor the Lord with the first of your substance, you set it apart as God’s money and do good with it (Prov. 3:9). Some people set a fruit jar on the dresser to remind them to disburse God’s money. As the portion in God’s money jar grows, God wants to teach you how to do more good with it and live a life that is blessed. He wants to train you in righteousness by allowing you to disburse His money to those in need. You will discover all kinds of things you can do with God’s money that will glorify Him (Matt. 5:16). Would not this be quite a world to live in if everyone would honor the Lord out of each paycheck and get involved in doing good with it for God? People would be so busy doing good, they would not have time to get into trouble and do evil. Instead, they would be overcoming evil by doing good (Rom. 12:21; Psalm 34:14; 37:3, 27; 1 Peter 3:10-11). God says we are considered righteous when we practice righteousness to please Him (1 John 3:7, 10). When we practice righteousness from the heart, we are truly born of God and we are fulfilling the purpose for which we were created (1 John 2:29; 3 John 11; Eph. 2:10). That is why we are reminded not to get weary in well-doing (2 Thess. 3:13; Gal. 6:9; Rom. 2:7). Yes, sowing seeds of righteousness always results in a life of blessings from God (Eph 6:8). Won’t you get involved in disciplining yourself for the purpose of godliness (1 Tim. 4:7)? Imitate God daily until Christ is formed in you (Eph. 5:1; Gal. 4:19). You will be a doer of God’s word and live as Jesus said to live (John 8:51; 1 John 2:5-6, 17).

wholewheatonline.com Search Seek the Kingdom First How do we seek the kingdom first, as commanded in Matthew 6:33? Isn’t seeking the kingdom entering the kingdom? Isn’t the whole message of the kingdom of God centered around receiving a new nature, having Christ formed in you, becoming a new creature or creation and being made complete? Doesn’t it involve resting from all your works of the flesh by living to the Spirit, which is God? Doesn’t entering the kingdom require putting to death the wicked desires of the flesh by becoming involved in doing good for God on a daily basis (Luke 17:21; Gal. 4:19; 5:16; Heb. 4:10-11)? Part of seeking the kingdom first is seeking Christ’s righteousness. It is living a righteous life for God just as Christ lived. Jesus was our example of how to do good works for the glory of the Father. How, then, do we seek the kingdom first in our personal lives? If we are going to enter the kingdom of God we are going to have to know our Bibles and what the Will of God is. To do this we are going to have to make room for regular Bible study in our daily lives. Jesus is the bread of life and His word is our daily spiritual bread (Matt. 6:10). In order to commit all our ways and thoughts to God, as well as receive things from God, we have to learn how to pray every day. In fact, we must learn how to be constantly in prayer, talking to God all day long, as we go about living for Him (1 Thess. 5:17). We are going to have to get involved with a life of good works and build from there. We are commanded to love one another and love our neighbor (John 13:34-35). We need to learn how to put our nature to death by disciplining ourselves according to godliness (1 Tim. 4:7). We need to fulfill God’s Will in our daily lives. We must provoke others to love and good works, pray for others and serve others (Heb. 10:24). This is how we are examples of God’s love. Putting God first is being willing to cancel our own plans. Putting God first is visiting someone in the hospital today, rather than golfing or shopping, like we may have previously planned. We shouldn’t plan things that we can’t change for God. You are going to have to use wisdom, and lots of it, so ask God for it (James 1:5). He has been waiting, possibly, quite awhile for your request. Do not trust in your own abilities to do things in your own personal body strength or your own wisdom. Depend upon God for everything. Everything! Yes, everything! The true circumcision, true faith or true disciples worship in the Spirit of God for Jesus Christ’s glory and put no confidence in the flesh (Phil. 3:3). As an example, consider your old life and how you were up to your nose, so to speak, in doing your own thing. All of a sudden, the death of a loved one interrupts your plans and you must cancel out many things you had previously planned, to take care of the funeral. First things first; you are now doing the things that you have to do, so that you can get back to the life of doing what you want to do, which is your own thing. Now that you have repented of doing your own thing and have agreed to do God’s thing daily, which is His Will, you have just agreed to put your own will last. That’s what it means when the word of God says, let no one seek his own good first, but put his neighbor first (1 Cor. 10:24; Phil. 2:3). You are to put the other person’s good or welfare first. Even Christ, our example, did not live to please Himself but to serve others (Rom. 15:2-3). Can you imagine a society in which everyone was putting their neighbor’s welfare first? In order to do this, you would have to be giving and loving and patient and considerate, for love does no wrong to a neighbor (Rom. 13:10). If we want to seek the kingdom first, then we must learn to put God first, Bible study first, serving first, giving first, and our own personal interest last (Phil. 2:3-5). If the greatest in the kingdom is going to be the servant of the most, then we must desire to be the servant of the most so that we can receive the character of that kind of person (Matt. 23:11). That is what serving God with all your heart and all your soul and all your strength and all your might is all about, isn’t it (Deut. 6:5)?
