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).

God's Righteousness PREV NEXT

wholewheatonline.com Search What Happens if I Sin? Many people suffer needlessly because they do not have a complete understanding of the conversion process. God is calling the unrighteous and the sinners to repentance. When we first begin to walk with God by living as He lives, we are not expected to be perfect. It takes time to repent and be converted. It even took Jesus time to overcome His flesh and learn obedience to the Father through suffering. Yes, Jesus was made perfect by the Father through suffering (Heb. 5:8-9). Jesus tells us to be perfect (Matt. 5:48). It is the Father who perfects us (1 Peter 5:10). We just do the practicing by serving others, which allows God to do the perfecting (1 John 3:7). The Father knows that when we first begin to overcome, we may slip and fall many times. But if we walk in the light, continually practicing righteousness, Jesus Christ’s sacrifice covers our sins (1 John 2:1-2; 1:7). All we need to do is confess our sins and forsake them (1 John 1:8-9). Whatever we do, we do not want to continue practicing sin - the deeds of the flesh - or we will not inherit the kingdom of God (Gal. 5:19-21; Eph. 5:5; Rom. 8:12-13). We are to practice righteousness every day instead of practicing sin (1 John 3:7). We must overcome sin by doing good works for God’s glory, as Jesus Christ, our example, told us to do (Matt. 5:16; Rom. 12:21; 1 Peter 3:11, 13). It would be a tragedy if we sinned, became discouraged, quit practicing righteousness daily to please God, and went back to a life of ignoring God daily. We are called for the purpose of having Christ formed in us, to become partakers of His divine nature, to become new creatures in Christ, and to become complete (Gal. 4:19; 6:15; 2 Peter 1:4; 2 Cor. 13:9, 11). All we need to do is just keep pleasing God each day in all we think, do and say. Remember that practice makes perfect. We do the practicing and God does the perfecting.

wholewheatonline.com Search Resentment A terrible disease of the flesh Resentment is a very treacherous thing. It is dangerous because it builds so slowly, we often are not even aware of its presence. Resentment kills people, destroys marriages, causes misunderstandings between friends, and is an enemy of all happiness. It is the cause of wars, racial strife, murder, and rape. It can be present in almost every situation in life. People resent laws, regulations, taxes, governments, employers, foremen, teachers, neighbors, relatives, friends, and their own children. Children resent their parents and the parents resent their children’s resentment of them, and on and on it goes. Resentment actually kills the resentful person. When we resent someone, we actually hate that person to some degree. That is why the Lord has said those who hate their brother are the same as murderers (1 John 3:15). When we harbor resentment we feel emotionally disturbed. As we become more resentful, we become more emotionally disturbed and our health deteriorates. We feel bad. Some people drink alcoholic beverages to feel good. Some people take narcotics or lose their minds in lust and pornography. Because people hold resentment, the food they eat doesn’t digest properly. Many have stomach trouble. As resentment burns inside, adrenalin pours through the entire system, poisoning and weakening all the organs of the body. Resentment actually eats us alive. It devours us from the inside out. It causes sleepless nights, worry, frustration, anxiety and stress. Some people eat more, craving for some pleasures in life, something to soothe a troubled mind. Life sometimes becomes a living hell. As resentment mounts, frustration mounts. Anxiety and restlessness increase. We become short-tempered. We become angry inside and wild on the outside. On top of all the trouble resentment is causing in our lives, we still have all the other pulls of our human natures to put up with. The apostle Paul said, “I see a different law in the members of my body, waging war against my mind, making me a prisoner of the law of sin which is in the members of my body. Oh, wretched person that I am, who will set me free from this body of death? Thanks be to God, through our Lord Jesus Christ. So on the one hand I am serving the law of God, while at the same time I am living in my sinful body. But there is no condemnation for those who live to please their Lord Jesus Christ” (Rom. 7:23-25; 8:1). Paul was saying he wanted to do the right thing, but kept doing the opposite. Many of us have the same problem! But should we continue to sin and practice resentment one to another? Heaven forbid! Instead, we must overcome resentment by practicing mercy, compassion and forgiveness with all our might. We cannot allow anything to take our peace in Christ, even if we are living in a “hell on earth.” All is well for those who continue to serve Christ by serving, loving and forgiving others daily. The heart of man is exceedingly evil, beyond all human comprehension (Jer. 17:9; Gen. 6:5; 8:21). Human nature is a fallen nature. It is satanic. That is why Jesus Christ said to the Jews, “You are doing the things your own father does” (John 8:38, 41, 44). Humans are being held captive by Satan to do his will until God allows them to repent (2 Tim. 2:26). Satan fell from the grace of God through bitter resentment. He became puffed up and full of pride because of his beauty and wisdom. Satan’s wisdom and knowledge warped with time, and he became an adversary of God. He twisted the knowledge of God to receive power and acclaim for himself. He wanted to make a name for himself and have people look up to him. Today, Satan’s ministers also demand respect from their followers and lord it over their subjects (Matt. 20:25). They desire to be looked up to and respected for reasons of power, position, fame and wealth (Luke 16:14). Cain was resentful of his righteous brother, Abel, because Abel’s deeds were righteous and Cain knew his own deeds were evil (1 John 3:12). The Lord told Cain that his evil nature was out to destroy him, but he could master it by constantly doing good and what was pleasing in the eyes of the Lord (Gen. 4:7). This truth applies to everyone God calls. We either become like Abel and are persecuted for righteous acts, or we remain like Cain and persecute the righteous. Abel was a friend of God. Cain was of his father, the devil. The Pharisees of Jesus Christ’s day knew He was from God and that His message was right and true (John 3:2). They knew He was right and they were wrong. They resented Jesus because they took the position of Cain. They, like Cain, did not want to be told to overcome their evil natures by doing good for God daily in secret. There is no glory in that for self. That didn’t sound profitable for those ministers of Satan — Pharisees — who were lovers of money more than lovers of God. They sought for fame, glory and respectability from men. They didn’t want respectability from God because they didn’t know Him anyway. It was bitter resentment that killed Jesus Christ, our Savior. Now, if we, as God’s elect (Luke 18:7-9), insist on bearing resentment and practicing it one to another, we make ourselves out to be those who would have killed Jesus Christ if He had lived in our time. When we bear resentment, we maintain the same position as those who hate their neighbor, and Jesus Christ said that is the same as being a murderer (Matt. 5:21-22). Husbands love your wives. Wives love your husbands. Do not allow any bitter resentment to exist in your lives (Col. 3:19). All things can be overcome through practicing charity and love. Don’t resent your children when they demonstrate the fact that they, too, have evil human natures; but love them all the more, and discipline them all the more with love. The word used for love in 1 Corinthians 13 is translated from a word meaning charity. When you practice charity, you do not seek your own glory. You do not act in a way that is displeasing to others. You are more concerned for the welfare of others and their comforts than you are for your own. Charity only believes what is good about others. It is not provoked. It does not take into account wrong that is suffered. That is why charitable love never fails. Make a list of all the things you resent in others. Then realize you were wrong, forgive them, and practice charity one to another with a pure and a light heart before the Lord daily. How do you overcome resentment? First, you must be afflicted by it. Then, when your test begins, apply these principles of Christ. Forgive those who trespass against you daily so the Father in heaven can forgive you your trespasses (Matt. 6:14-15). Do good to those who persecute you or say evil about you. Pray for them. Do not repay them any evil, for that is the Lord’s job (Heb. 10:30). Love all, forgive all, and bless all who curse you. Bless those who say all manner of evil against you, and do not say any evil against them. Joseph’s brothers were resentful of him because he was their father’s favorite son. They all wanted to kill him. Only because of Judah’s greed, was he spared death by being sold (Gen. 37:26-27). Judah, the father of the Jews, was a Judas. He sold his own flesh and blood for money. What does the Bible teach us through the experience of Joseph? It shows that Joseph triumphed over resentment by showing love to his brothers. As a result of his attitude, God exalted him to a position of second-in-command in all Egypt. Did Jesus carry resentment in His heart for those who killed Him? No! He overcame resentment with pure love. “Forgive them, Father, for they do not know what they are doing,” He said (Luke 23:34). We must overcome all resentment in our lives in order to put on the new nature of love. We now are without excuse. It can no longer be said of us, “Forgive them for they do not know what they are doing.” Now we know how important it is to get rid of all resentment in our lives. Destroy resentment by giving it no place in your life! Start now. If you don’t, it will destroy you. It has already harmed you, but you didn’t realize it before. Now you know what to do about it. Forgive everyone all the time; and be like Jesus Christ, our example.

wholewheatonline.com Search How Can Teenagers Serve God? Teenagers, your parents want the best for you. All your life they have nursed you when you were sick and worried over you when you were bad. Now, you are about to become an adult. When you are an adult, you will be responsible for your own actions and behavior. Indecision will be one of your enemies. Anxiety, irresponsibility, indifference and selfishness will be other enemies. But look, this is nothing more than human nature at work in your members. The good news is that Jesus Christ came to destroy the old nature in us when we put on the new nature in Christ. The method is simple. The results are astounding, because Jesus Christ and the Father never start something they don’t finish. We could all be successful if we would just get out of our own way. Yes, we are our own worst enemy—our human nature, the fleshly nature. Read what God says our nature is in Ephesians 2:1-3; 5:5; 2 Timothy 2:26; Galatians 5:19-21 and Matthew 15:19. How do you receive a new nature? Live to please God daily, as Jesus Christ our example lived (Luke 9:23; Matt. 10:38; 1 John 2:6). Do God’s Will, which is doing righteous deeds towards others (Matt. 5:16; 12:50; Luke 8:21; 11:28; 1 Peter 2:12). These are the same works that Jesus Christ said we would do more of than He did, for He was to be crucified at the age of 33 (John 14:12; Rev. 2:26). Practice righteousness for God until He makes it come from your heart (1 Peter 4:12-13). As you practice righteousness, God will perfect you through mild testing or suffering (1 Peter 5:10). Normally you suffer for doing wrong, but when you suffer for doing what is right, you can receive His new nature and enter the kingdom that is within you (1 Peter 4:1; Rom. 6:11; Gal. 4:19; Luke 17:21 King James Version). You must force yourself into it and seize it for yourself (Luke 16:16; Matt. 11:12). Soon your righteousness will exceed that of the scribes and the Pharisees and you will be a happy slave to Christ (Matt. 5:20). You will be doing all your righteous works—which is God’s Will—from your heart (Eph. 6:6). Don’t delay! Be happy today (Matt. 25:33-40).

Como un estudiante diligente de la Biblia, tienes que comprobar lo que se escribe en estos Estudios Bíblicos. Lee todo el artículo primero, sin buscar las escrituras. Después vuelve a leerlo, pero ahora buscando la escritura; subrayando o marcando cada verso, para que te sea fácil encontrarlo en otra ocasión. 1 Declaracion de Fe de Whole Wheat Creemos que Jesucristo es el Hijo de Dios, que vino en la carne y murió por los pecados de la humanidad. Creemos que aceptar a Jesucristo como nuestro Salvador significa vivir toda una nueva forma de vida y no vida a la carne con sus pasiones y deseos mal, sino que, viviendo en el Espíritu, que está cometiendo todas nuestras maneras de ser una bendición para el Señor. Creemos, como dice el apóstol san Pablo, que uno debe traer buenas obras significaba para el arrepentimiento y luego llegar al bautismo (Hechos 26:20; Lucas 3:8, 10-11). Creemos que Dios en el cielo, envió a Su Hijo Jesucristo, que nos muestran cómo amarse los unos a los otros. Creemos que si usted va a vivir caritativamente, vas a vivir como Jesucristo nos dio ejemplo para vivir en pensamiento, palabra y obra. Creemos vivir caritativamente es poner primero a los demás y no llevar la cuenta de las injusticias cometidas contra nosotros por otros. Debemos amar a nuestros enemigos y hacer el bien para ellos. Esto significa que no debemos hacer nada a sabiendas de que serían de ofenderlos. Creemos que debería ser un siervo de los otros para la gloria de Dios (Mat. 23:11). Estamos en el proceso de perfeccionamiento de todos nuestros caminos, haciéndolos caridad hacia el prójimo, así como agradables a Dios (Lucas 11:41). Creemos que cuando hacemos todo lo que es agradable a los ojos de Dios, estamos guardando Sus mandamientos y haciendo su voluntad (Juan 9:31). Entonces sabemos que vamos a recibir lo que le pedimos (1 Juan 3:22). Creemos que vivir de esta manera por servir a los demás, somos obedientes y tener nuestros pecados cubiertos por su sangre (1 Pedro 1:2; 1 Juan 1:6-7). Creemos que vivir nuestras vidas para ser agradable al Señor diariamente es fácil, agradable y muy gratificante y cambio de vida (Mat. 11:30). Creemos que hemos sido creados en Cristo Jesús para buenas obras, las cuales Dios preparó de antemano para que anduviésemos en ellas" (Ef. 2:10). Creemos que no puede ganar la salvación por buenas obras porque somos salvos por gracia y es un don; sin embargo, diariamente el arrepentimiento hacia Dios requiere una vida de buen hacer y él es glorificado cuando hacemos el bien para él (Mat. 5:16). Esta vida de bien haciendo es llamado el Camino de la justicia en la palabra de Dios, y define cómo debemos vivir diariamente ante el Señor (Mat. 21:32; 2 Pedro 2:21). Creemos que poner las palabras de Jesús en la práctica diaria en nuestras vidas son las indicaciones para el arrepentimiento y la vida eterna (Juan 12:49-50; 8:51). Creemos que como Dios revela su palabra a nosotros, nosotros debemos obedecer. Creemos que nadie debe añadir o restar de las palabras de Jesús (Marcos 7:7). Creemos que la religión pura incorrupto está sirviendo a los necesitados diariamente a Dios y mantenernos sin mancha del mundo (Santiago 1:27). 2 Todo lo Referente a las Obras ¡Satanás es enemigo de la justicia, y eso incluye buenas obras! Él confunde las obras de la ley con las obras de la fe. Así, es como hay muchas fes sin obras. ¿Acaso la Fe de Jesús tuvo obras? Se dice que Jesús hizo muchas obras, que si se hubieran escrito en detalle, es posible que ni aun en el mundo cabrían los libros que se hubieran escrito. (Juan 21:25; 20:30). ¿Acaso Jesús dijo que Sus seguidores tendrían obras? Él dijo, “En verdad, en verdad, les digo, que aquel que cree en Mí, las obras que Yo hago, el hará también; y aún mayores hará, porque Yo voy al Padre” (Juan 14:12). Jesús hizo buenas obras en el nombre del Padre y para gloria del Padre (Juan 8:54; 10:25; 10:32; Mateo 5:16). Él hizo las mismas obras que miro que el Padre hace (Juan 4:34; 5:19). Él les dijo a todos sus seguidores, que hicieran las mismas obras aquí en la tierra así como son hechas en el cielo, porque el hacer las obras de Dios es el hacer la Voluntad de Dios (Mateo 6:10; 7:21). Estas obras son incomprendidas, por un mundo que está siendo engañado y mal guiado (Lucas 6:46). Jesús amonestaba continuamente a Sus seguidores y les decía que fueran hacedores de buenas obras. Jesús no vivió para ser complacido pero, para complacer a los demás (Romanos 15:3; Mateo 20:28). Jesús agradaba a su prójimo para bien de Él y para su edificación (Romanos 15:2). El no buscaba su propio bien, sino que se negaba a si mismo diariamente, al solo hacer buenas obras para el prójimo (Lucas 9:23; Mateo 25:33-46; 1 Corintios 10:24). El tomo forma de esclavo, y así nos enseñó cómo hacer buenas obras (Filipenses 2:7; Mateo 23:11). Él no vivió para sí mismo buscando sus propios intereses, sino buscando los intereses de otros (Filipenses 2:4). El tener fe con obras significa el servir a otros que están en necesidad, para gloria de Dios (Mateo 5:16; Santiago 2:14-18). La Fe de Jesús era una fe de buenas obras y no solo de palabras (1 Juan 3:18-19). Es una Fe que se perfecciona por medio de obras (Santiago 2:22). Una Fe con obras no es una fe en vano (Santiago 2:20). Una Fe con obras no está muerta, pero viva porque tiene obras justas (Santiago 2:26; Romanos 8:10). La fe que es servicial hacia los demás es la fe a la cual Dios recompensa, porque es la fe que le complace (Lucas 14:13-14). El hacer buenas obras es como glorificas a Dios diariamente y así haces la Voluntad de Dios en esta tierra (Mateo 5:16). El así te puede bendecir diariamente, cuando haces buenas obras para Dios (Efesios 6:8). Así formas un carácter piadoso (espiritual) y te disciplinas para el propósito de la piedad (1 Timoteo 4:7). Las buenas obras son el buen fruto de tu árbol espiritual (Juan 15:16; Colosenses 1:10; Mateo 3:10). ¡Ahora ya tienes la verdad de palabra de Dios referente a las buenas obras! 3 Aquellos que Hacen lo Bueno La palabra de Dios dice la persona que hace lo bueno es de Dios (3 Juan 11). ¿Por qué es esto? Porque Dios es bueno (Marcos 10:18). ¿Por qué? Porque Dios hace lo bueno. La palabra “bueno” es derivada de la palabra “Dios”. ¿En qué clase de condiciones estaríamos si tuviéramos un Dios que solo tuviera buenos pensamientos pero jamás hiciera nada al respecto? ¡No estaríamos aquí! ¡Nada bueno se haría! Tendríamos a un Dios que sería bueno para nada, pero esto, es imposible. Si quieres ser como Dios y ser considerado bueno, tus buenos pensamientos tienen que manifestarse con buenas acciones. ¿Si hacer lo malo es malo, el hacer lo bueno es bueno? ¿Si el hacer lo malo es considerado impiedad; falta de compasión, de fe religiosa, de misericordia, de dignidad y desobediencia, entonces el hacer lo bueno cambiaría todos estas palabras negativas? ¿No es esto el resultado de acciones positivas? ¿Empiezas a ver lo que significa el estar arrepentido? ¿Puedes ver como cualquiera que no se arrepienta al cambiar sus acciones y hacerlas buenas, debería de y tendría que perecer de esta tierra (Mateo 3:10). ¿Puedes ver que el hacer lo bueno es todo lo que Dios espera de nuestro arrepentimiento? ¿No es esto lo mismo que un padre esperaría, de sus queridos hijos? ¿Puedes comprender que cuando los hijos hacen lo correcto ante su padre, sus acciones son las que demuestran amor y así, le son aceptables a Él (Hechos 10:34-35)? ¿Puedes ver por qué el verdadero mensaje de Dios es un mensaje para niños? ¿Puedes ver, que a menos que te vuelvas como un niño ante tu Padre celestial no podrás convertirte y reconciliarte con Él y así entrar al reino de los cielos (Mateo 18:3-5)? Es por esto que solo los que hacen lo bueno son de Dios (3 Juan:11) 4 ¿Cómo era Jesús? Jesús era una persona agradable porque Él era bondadoso extrovertido y gentil de espíritu. Era muy compasivo y les demostraba caridad a los pobres a los humildes y a quien sea que no tuviera ayuda. Tenía muchos amigos, unos más cercanos que otros. Pedro y Lázaro eran muy especiales para El. También en ese tiempo muchas mujeres eran sus amigas y de igual manera Él estaba muy cercano a algunas de ellas. Jesús hizo el trabajo de su padre al proclamar que el reino del cielo estaba cerca; para aquellos que cambiaran su vida al arrepentirse (Mat. 4:17). Jesús vino a proclamar la buena vida con Dios. El vino a proclamar que cuando vives una vida así, aseguraras bendiciones, una paz abundante, alegría y solo cosas buenas (Juan 10:10; 15:11). También que todas tus oraciones sean contestadas (Juan 14:14; 15:7; Mat. 7:7). Jesús sabía que no iba a poder cambiar a la gente que anduviera en malos caminos. Él no podría forzar a nadie a arrepentirse pero, Él podría proclamar el mensaje como un testigo. Este mensaje son las buenas noticias de como deshacernos de nuestra mala naturaleza al practicar los caminos de Dios para que Dios nos pueda bendecir (Hechos 3:26). Todo lo que tenemos que hacer es imitar a Jesús Cristo (1 Cor. 11:1). Él era nuestro ejemplo viviente, enseñándonos, por medio de Sus buenas obras que tan fácil es vencer a nuestra naturaleza y así vivir una vida piadosa (Juan 10:32; Mat. 11:30). No todos los que entendieron Su mensaje lo tomaron de corazón, pero algunos sí (Mateo 13:19-23). Jesús era como un vendedor ambulante, vendiendo una buena manera de vivir; pero muy pocos estaban interesados o creyeron su mensaje (Mat. 11:30; 22:14). Varios de los pocos que respondieron a su mensaje y se esforzaron para entrar por la puerta estrecha, al vivir para Dios día con día no pudieron, pero otros sí y así perseverando hasta el fin fueron salvados. (Lucas 13:24; Mat. 10:22; 24:13). A todos ellos se les fue recordado que no se preocuparan en hacer el bien (Gal. 6:9; 2Tes. 3:13). Se les dijo que si perseveraban, recibirían el precio de gobernar las naciones de este mundo con Cristo (Apocalipsis 2:26-27). También la naturaleza de Jesús Cristo seria formada en ellos (Gal. 4:19). Aquellos que continúan sacrificándose haciendo el bien para gloria de Dios diariamente; eventualmente entraran al reposo de Dios (Heb.4:10; 13:16,21; Rom.12:1-2). ¿No es este un mensaje sencillo? Sin embargo ahora, no se vive entre los muchos que profesan Su nombre, simplemente no lo conocen (Titos 1:16). Ahora ya sabes cómo era Jesús y que tan simple era su mensaje, imita a Jesús diariamente para que seas un ejemplo para muchos; ciertamente esta es la verdadera y única manera de vivir (1 Cor.11:1; Juan 3:21; 1 Juan 1:6-7). 5 ¿Hacemos El Bien Automáticamente? Hay muchos cristianos bienintencionados, que están esperando que Dios oprima un botón para que ellos hablen lo correcto y así estar dispuestos a servir a los demás. Ellos piensan que Dios les dará el deseo de servir a otros, y que automáticamente teniendo el Espíritu de Dios podrán llevar una vida llena de buenas obras para Cristo. Mientras tanto; Dios sigue esperando, y esperando, y esperando, a que ellos empiecen una nueva vida en Cristo. Muchas de estas mismas personas sienten que al forzase a hacer buenas obras para Dios estarían participando sus propias obras de justicia, para su propia gloria y así tratar de ganarse su salvación. ¿Qué es lo en verdad está pasando? ¿Qué es lo que la Biblia dice? ¡Vamos a descubrirlo! La Biblia dice que nosotros glorificamos al Padre al hacer buenas obras (Mateo 5:16). Tu entraras al reino del cielo con obras justas (Mateo 5:20). Jesús Cristo les dijo a sus seguidores que ellos harían más obras para Dios que las que Él hizo (Juan 14:12). El ser celoso de buenas obras forma parte de vestirte con toda la armadura de Dios (1 Pedro 3:13; Efes. 6:11). Al guardar las obras de Cristo, vences a tu naturaleza y así, te pones la naturaleza justa de Jesús Cristo (Apocalipsis 2:26). En la Biblia, se les advierte a los creyentes que no se preocupen de hacer buenas obras (Gal. 6:9; 2Tes. 3:13). Los apóstoles dijeron a los creyentes que se ocuparan en buenas obras (Tito 3:8). Ellos les recalcaron que era algo que tenían que aprender a hacer. (Tito 3:14). No iba a ser algo automático. Ellos tendrían que esforzarse, ser diligentes y perseverar en hacer buenas obras (Lucas 13:24; Heb.4:11, 10:24; Rom.2:6-7). Se les dijo que se esmeraran y estén entusiasmados al hacer buenas obras (Apoc.3:15; Tito 2:14). Aun a los ricos se les dijo que fueran ricos en buenas obras (1Tim. 6:17-18). Esto, era un requerimiento para las viudas (1 Tim. 5:10). Esto, es lo que continuamente hacían los discípulos de Jesús Cristo (Hechos 9:36; 10:2). Pablo forzaba su cuerpo a sujeción, para así estar dispuesto a ser sirviente de la justicia (1 Cor.9:27; Rom.6:18-19). Él era siervo de Jesús Cristo y hacía de corazón obras justas para Dios. (Efesios 6:6). Él sabía que al hacer obras justas, dejaría a Dios, aplastar a su naturaleza satánica bajo sus pies (Rom.16:20). Él sabía cómo forzar su entrada al Reino (Lucas 16:16; 17:21). Y al poder descansar de todos los trabajos de la carne; el entro al reposo de Dios y encontró la paz interna. (Hebreos 4:10). Satanás es enemigo de todos los que practican rectitud y justicia para Dios o los que viven como Dios vive. Satanás predica en contra de cualquier clase de obras hechas para gloria de Dios, y así continúa manteniendo cautivos a toda la gente, haciendo su voluntad en lugar de hacer la voluntad de Dios, la cual se hace diariamente en el cielo. (2 Tim. 2:26; Mat. 6:10). ¡No seas engañado religiosamente! Tu conocerás a los seguidores de Dios por sus obras (Mat. 7:20-21). La palabra de Dios dice que aun los ministros de Satanás serán juzgados por sus obras les guste o no (2Cor. 11:15). ¡Bendecidos son los que en todo tiempo practican rectitud y Justicia (Sal. 106:3)! 6 Como Arrepentirte ¿Cómo es que te arrepientes? Te arrepientes al producir buenos frutos. Produces buenos frutos al hacer buenas obras (Colosenses 1:10). ¿Qué tipo de buenas obras son buenos frutos? Aquí hay algunas ideas. 1. Estudia para ser aprobado por Dios. Estudia tu Biblia, para que si alguien te hace una pregunta le des una buena respuesta (2Tim. 2:15). 2. Ora por otros (Col. 4:2-3; 1Tesalonisenses 5:17). 3. Cada día de pago, separa una cantidad para Dios y así ayudes a otros (Proverbios 3:9-10). 4. Visita a alguien que esté en el hospital para Dios (Mat. 25:36). 5. Alegra el corazón de las viudas para Dios (Job 29:13). 6. Si sabes de alguien que está pasando un momento difícil, no gana lo suficiente, y sus hijos no tienen ropa o un lugar donde dormir. ¡Ayúdalos! (Santiago 2:15-18). 7. Paga tus cuentas. Has todo lo posible por no deberle nada a nadie (Romanos 13:8). 8. Mantente contento con lo que tienes (Hebreos 13:5; Fil. 4:11). 9. No cobres interés a tu prójimo (Sal. 15:5; Ex. 22:25). 10. Préstale a los que están en necesidad (Lucas 6:35). 11. No des lo santo a los cerdos (Mat. 7:6). 12. No tengas rencores, malos sentimientos, o albergues un espíritu de amargura (Heb.12:15). 13. Dale a los que estén en necesidad (Luc.6:38; 2Cor.9:6; Luc.3:10-11). 14. Perdona todo, lo que hagan contra ti (Mat.18:22; Efesios 4:32). 15. Dale animo a las personas mayores (Santiago 1:27). 16. No te olvides de tus padres o de tus parientes más cercanos cuando envejezcan (Efesios 6:2-3). 17. No uses malas palabras, vulgaridades o digas groserías. No uses el nombre de Dios en vano (Ex. 20:7; Santiago 3:8; Efesios 5:3-6; Mat. 12:36-37). 18. Usa le expresión “Si Dios Quiere” (Santiago 4:13-15). 19. Todo lo que hagas, hazlo en el nombré del Jesús Cristo (Col.3:17). 20. Invita a comer al pobre, discapacitado y al anciano (Lucas 14:13). 21. Comparte tu dinero, tu ropa, tu casa, tu carro, tu tiempo y tus recursos con otros (1Tim. 6:17-18). 22. Ofrece tu hogar, a los que necesiten un lugar donde quedarse. ¡Hazlo para Dios! (Mat. 25:35). 23. Glorifica a Dios con buenas obras (Mat.5:16). 24. Has tus oraciones en secreto. No uses oraciones repetidas; oraciones muy largas y oraciones memorizadas (Mat.6:5-7). 25. Cuando des algo, hazlo en secreto (Mat.6:3-4). 26. Enseña a tus hijos los caminos de Dios (Prov.22:6). 27. Ama a tu esposo o esposa, demuéstrales cariño diariamente (Col.3:14). 28. Mantén tu cuerpo, casa, patio, carro, y tus ropas limpias para Dios. Dios quiere ver qué hacemos con lo que Él nos da. El cuidar nuestras posesiones y el compartirlas con los demás, es como Él nos bendice con más (Mal.3:10; 2Cor.9:10-12). 29. Hazle el bien a tus enemigos (Mat.5:44). 30. Ora a Dios y pídele por tus necesidades (1Juan 3:22). 7 Principios para el Éxito El éxito en la vida es conocer a Jesús Cristo. Éxito es, el conocer los caminos de Dios. Tenemos éxito en la vida cuando perseveramos haciendo lo correcto para gloria de Dios. Éxito es, el permanecer en Cristo. Éxito en la vida es el entrar al reino de Dios que está en nosotros (Lucas 17:21, Versión Reina Valera). Estos principios para el éxito son las llaves para riquezas, honra y vida eterna (Romanos 2:7). La mente del hombre no puede concebir lo que Dios tiene planeado para los que El ama. Dios no quitara el bien a las personas que lo glorifiquen en el cielo haciendo buenas obras día con día en la tierra (Salmos 84:11; Mateo 5:16). Los justos son recompensados de acuerdo con sus obras de amor, hechas en el nombre de Jesús (Col. 3:17). La Biblia nos dice que si arrojamos nuestro pan a las aguas; después un tiempo regresarían nosotros (Eclesiastés 11:1). Si por cada buena obra que hagamos en servicio a otros, para gloria de Dios – esperando nada a cambio recibiremos una recompensa mucha más grande que la hemos hecho (Efes. 6:8; 2Cor. 9:10). ¿Es imposible dar más que lo que Dios da? Las personas más preciadas son la que sirven a otros. Son muy apreciados por los demás, así como lo son para Dios. Bienaventurado es aquel que piensa el desamparado, en el pobre y el necesitado. El Señor no solo lo protegerá de sus enemigos, El Señor lo salvará de su enfermedad. Él lo restaurara de sus enfermedades (Salmos 41:1-3). El Señor dará Su Espíritu a todo aquel que comience a obedecer lo que Él Dice, y vuelva a los caminos de Dios (Prov. 1:23). La Biblia se mantiene un libro cerrado para aquellos que rehúsan obedecerle (2Cor. 4:3 -4). Sirviendo a los demás es el estar arrepentido y es como empiezas obedecer a Jesús Cristo; nuestro ejemplo a seguir. El no vino para que le sirvieran-sino para servir (Marcos 10:45). Él dijo, el que quiera ser mayor de los demás tendrá que ser sirviente de los demás (Mateo 20:26-28; Filipenses 2:2-5; Lucas 9:48; Mateo 23:11; Marcos 9:35; 10:43,44; 1Cor. 10:24). En verdad; estas palabras son los principios para el éxito en esta vida y la venidera. Jesús Cristo – nuestro Señor y Amo - vino para enseñarnos a como ser sirvientes de los demás, para que así podamos ser exitosos en todo para gloria de Dios. ¿Recuerda, si los justos con dificultad se salvan, que pasara con los que no obedecen el evangelio de Jesús Cristo (1Pedro 4:18)? Porque sin la santidad, que el resultado de practicar rectitud y justicia; nadie vera al Señor (Hebreos 12:14). 8 Una Vida Sin Temor Cuando tú complaces al Señor, El té protege de tus enemigos, y los hará estar en paz contigo (2Samuel 22:18; Salmos 18:3, 17; Proverbios 16:7) Jesús dijo que no temieras al Hombre o lo que él pudiera hacer contigo. Sin embargo, temerle a Dios. El cual tiene el poder de destruir el cuerpo y el alma (Mateo 10:28). ¡Si, Dios pude destruir el alma del Hombre! Cuando tú obedeces a Dios, al seguir sus sagrados caminos, así como Él los hace, tú estás haciendo su voluntad en la tierra de igual manera que es hecha en el cielo (Mateo 6:10). Cuando tú obedeces a Dios, inmediatamente eres elegible para recibir todos los beneficios, que vienen después de servir al Creador de los cielos y la tierra. Él te protegerá del hambre (de una gran escasez de alimento) y de la guerra. De la violencia y del ladrón (Job 5:20-27; Salmos 10:5; 91:7; 34:7; 33:19; Prov. 3:25-26). Él te dará una larga vida y unos hijos saludables. El Señor te protegerá de cualquier mal y enfermedad, si tu mantienes sus caminos (Salmos 12:7; 91:3; 103:3). Tú haces esto al practicar justicia y honestidad en todos tus asuntos con la gente, así como hizo Abram (Gen. 18:19). Dios te protegerá si aprendes y practicas lo que a Él le complace, y si enseñas los caminos del Señor a tus hijos (Efes. 5:10; 6:4; Col. 3:20). Dios te ha dicho en Su palabra lo que es bueno, y como demostrarle amor (Miqueas 6:8; Zac.7:9-10; Mat.25:33-40; Prov.8:17). El buscar a Dios, es haciendo el bien para El (Sal.14:1-3; 1Ped 3:11). Haciendo lo bueno para El, es el servirle a Él. Tú complaces a tu Padre celestial de la misma manera que complaces a tu padre terrenal – haciendo todo lo posible para obedecerlo y complacerlo. Solo mantente ocupado sirviendo a otros con bondad y caridad. Tus cumples los mandamientos de Dios y la ley real cuando practicas rectitud y justicia hacia tu prójimo, para complacer a Dios (2 Juan 6; 1 Juan 3:7; Santiago 2:8). La ley no fue hecha para los justos, sino para los pecadores, porque los justos ya están cumpliendo con estos principios (1Tim. 1:8-10). Cuando practicas la justicia cada día, al no jurar, mentir y decir palabras ofensivas, estás viviendo conforme a la Ley (Col. 3:8-9; Prov. 8:13). Estas usando tu cuerpo como instrumento para la justicia (Rom.6:12-13, 19). Tu destruyes las obras de la carne al hacer el bien para de Dios, y así no llevas acabó los deseos de la carne (Rom.8:12-13; Gal.5:16, 19-21). Así, ya no estas bajo la ley sino bajo la gracia (Gal.5:18; Rom.6:14). Así, y solo así, tendrás una vida libre de temor y culpabilidad – una vida llena de la paz de Dios, la cual sobrepasa cualquier entendimiento (Filip.4:7). Estudios de la biblia en español. Siempre recuerda el comprobar todas las cosas en la palabra de Dios – como los bereanos hacían. Ellos recibieron las Escrituras con gran entusiasmo y examinaban las Escrituras diariamente, para comprobar si estas cosas eran así (Hechos 17:11).

"You are saved by grace through faith." MISCONCEPTION: You are saved by grace, through faith, not of yourselves. It is the gift of God. THE TRUTH IS: The above statement is true, but only half true. What many do not realize is the Apostle Paul wrote some of the things he wrote in a hard-to-understand way, so he would trip up those who were false teachers, who were not called or taught by God personally. These untaught and unstable people would distort the true gospel to their own destruction. The Apostle Peter knew what Paul was doing and he mentioned it in 2 Peter 3:16. You are born by grace, you continue to live by grace, and when the time comes for you to be called by grace, then you must respond to that calling. God doesn’t need you, but you need God. God calls you to hear His truth either by opening your mind and drawing you with His Spirit, or by sending one of His servants to wherever you may be (John 6:44-65). Should there be no man of God around, the Lord will teach you Himself as you live for Him daily (John 6:45; 2 Tim. 2:7; 1 John 2:27). Now, the Lord Jesus is that Spirit which resides in us when we live to obey Him (1 Cor. 3:16; Acts 16:6-7). Notice while reading John 14:16-18, Jesus says, “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.” If Jesus sends His servant, you should receive him, because when you do, you have received Jesus Christ (Matt. 10:40-42; John 13:20). In Jesus’ day, as well as today, only those who were receiving their chance for salvation knew the mysteries of the kingdom of God (Mark 4:11; Matt. 13:11). The knowledge of this profound mystery is given to us by grace through God’s Spirit. The mystery of the kingdom of God includes the answers to the following questions: What is the kingdom of God message? How do you enter the kingdom of God within? How do you repent? How do you do God’s Will? How do you overcome? How do you glorify God daily? How do you worship God in spirit and in truth? How do you keep and perform God’s Ways? God is not calling everyone to know His truth today, because this is not the only day of salvation (Heb. 3:7-8; Rev. 17:14). Consider these verses from God’s word: Acts 2:39, 47; 13:48; John 13:18; 5:21; Romans 11:7. When you are called by grace, God tells you the truth so that you may no longer live a disgraceful life before Him. God grants you the ability to repent by knowing His truth and allows you to know His Will so that you can be released from being held captive by Satan into doing his will (2 Tim. 2:26). In plain language, God allows you to know His Will so you can repent and know the truth. By knowing and living this truth, you become released from your old satanic nature of the flesh which represents Satan’s will, and thus you become reconciled to God by His grace (Rom. 16:20).

wholewheatonline.com Search Overindulgence There are many forms of overindulgence. It can be with alcohol, food, sports, exercise, sex, money, or even thinking too much. It can occur in a variety of different ways with a variety of different things (Gal. 5:19-21). It is anything that is out of balance or not done in moderation. For example, the pagans of long ago who were worshiping Satan knowingly or unknowingly, practiced overindulgence in their orgiastic feasts. We have all heard of how they used to stuff themselves with food, and then, tickle their throats with a feather, which would make them regurgitate the food they had just eaten. They did this so they could start over and eat more (Phil. 3:19; 1 Cor. 10:31; Prov. 23:2). When we were in the flesh, we were all ignorant of God and His righteous Ways that He desired us to live. As a result, we were living in the flesh to please the flesh, whether it was eating, drinking or thinking. It was whatever we made excuse for in our lives, that was out of balance. These things can become idols, and we don’t even realize it. Idolatry is simply excessive attachment or devotion to anything in our lives. When we are in the flesh, we have no reason strong enough for us to want to practice self-control, have balance or moderation in our lives (Rom. 8:5,13). Then we discovered the truth, when God revealed His word to us through His Holy Spirit. It was revealed to us that we should practice godliness daily by living for God, who is the Spirit. It was revealed to us that we should discipline ourselves for the purpose of godliness daily if we were to be pleasing to God and thus be blessed by Him (Rom. 8:9). God and His Ways are to be first in our lives now, above all else. If we, then, would stop living to the flesh and indulging in the flesh with all its corrupt desires, and only live for God or the Spirit, He would give us His Spirit of power so that nothing could stand in our way. We would be putting to death all those areas in our lives that are in excess. Sin would no longer have dominion over our bodies because of God’s indwelling Spirit, which He gives only to those who are trying to obey Him (Col. 3:5). We would then come out of condemnation because we would be on the path of recovery, reconciliation and self-control (Gal. 5:22-23). Wouldn’t it be something if God blessed a person with every good thing and he died of being overweight, because he refused to tell himself “NO” in that area of his life? Ask God to help you shed a few pounds, and He will do it (Mark 10:27). If you try, God will supply. Continually do what you can, and then God can come in to give you what you are lacking. This goes for anything you are struggling with, or having a hard time overcoming in your life. Learn to fast for God to receive more strength. It is truly a meaningful way to humble yourself before God and ask for His help (Matt. 6:16; Is. 58:5-6). God has chosen fasting to break every yoke, every sin, every bad habit that is holding us in bondage. It is a spiritual resource He has given us in His Word, to draw close to Him, especially in times of need. We were called when we were sinners (Mark 2:17). Living the repentant Way, we can easily overcome everything that exalts itself against Jesus Christ our Savior, our Redeemer, our sustainer, our everything! With His Spirit we can overcome the world like Jesus gave us example to do (John 16:33). Then we won’t be hurt in the second death or have our names erased from the book of life (Rev. 2:11; 3:5). If we endure to the end, keeping Jesus Christ’s works, we will rule the nations of this earth with Him when He returns (Rev. 2:26-27). Jesus wants us to overcome the same Way He overcame—by keeping His works. He even said many of us would do greater works than He did (John 14:12). These are the works that God the Father gave His Son to do on this earth so He could be our example. Jesus’ sayings are God’s Will. That is why we are to keep them if we are to never die (John 8:51).

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 All About the Bible PDF MORE BIBLE STUDIES PODCASTS HOME © 2025 Whole Wheat International

wholewheatonline.com Search The Mystery of the True Gospel When Jesus talked, He changed lives. When the apostles preached what Jesus Christ had taught them, lives were changed by that one true message. Thousands responded with changed lives. Wealthy people gave large amounts to the poor and became rich in good works (1 Tim. 6:17-18). Zacchaeus, the tax collector, gave half of his wealth to the poor and paid back four times the amount he had extracted from people dishonestly, and then practiced righteousness (Luke 19:8). People sold their property and pooled it all together so that all might have substance (Acts 4:34-35). One thing was for sure, lives were changed. They were doers of the word (James 1:22). Consider Dorcas, a woman who was continually abounding in good deeds, works of kindness and charity (Acts 9:36). Consider Cornelius (Acts 10:2, 4, 22). We should consider him because God considered him. Cornelius gave money to the needy people and prayed to God continually. Not only that, but he had a respect for God’s commandments and walked in them by practicing righteousness as Noah did (1 John 3:7). Yes, the apostles were telling people to engage in good deeds for God in order to repent (Titus 3:8; Acts 26:20). It was not something they would naturally do as a result of having God’s Spirit; they had to learn to do it (Titus 3:14). Jesus said they would have to strive to overcome their natures by doing good (Luke 13:24; Rom. 12:21). Yet, by perseverance they would win their souls (Luke 21:19). Their good works would have to exceed that of the Pharisees if they were to enter the kingdom of God (Matt. 5:20; 7:21; Luke 17:21, KJV). They would have to do the Will of God to enter the kingdom (Luke 16:16). The easiest way was to consider themselves as slaves to righteousness until they could eventually do it happily from their hearts (Rom. 6:13, 18-19; Eph. 6:6). Wherever you found disciples of Jesus Christ back then, you found "do-gooders." They knew their deeds for God would assure them of being resurrected, but they also knew eternal life was a free gift that could not be earned (Rom. 2:6-7; John 5:29; Rev. 14:13; Eph. 2:8-10). They were subjecting themselves to the righteousness of God as Jesus Christ did (Rom. 10:2-3). They overcame their human natures by being zealous for good deeds, keeping Christ’s deeds instead of their own self-righteous deeds (1 Peter 3:10-13; Rev. 2:26). They knew faith without works is dead (James 2:17). You never saw so many people doing so much good. It was marvelous! It produced good fruits (Col. 1:10). It changed lives. Do not worry, they did all their deeds in Christ’s name to be sure that it was not self-righteousness they were practicing (Col. 3:17). They did their deeds in secret, just as the Lord commands us to do. This is the mystery of the true gospel.

wholewheatonline.com Search How Do We Live For God? God wants to bless you and He wants the best for you, which comes from living for God each day. God even loves His enemies. He does good to them. He blesses those who curse Him. He is a father to the needy, a friend to the lonely, the friendless and the lowly. Our Father in heaven is a helper to the orphan and the widow in need. He comes to the aid of the distressed and those who have no helper. Our Father in heaven is helping and serving mankind 24 hours a day, and He does this in secret, receiving no glory from men. God in heaven wants you to imitate Him by imitating Jesus Christ in your daily life (Eph. 5:1; 1 Cor. 11:1). You are to serve others zealously until God creates in you Christ’s new nature (Rom. 15:2-3; 1 Peter 3:13; Gal. 4:19). It will be a sacrifice on your part, but a sacrifice with which God will be well-pleased (Heb. 13:16). As a precaution against building self-righteousness, Jesus instructs you to do all that you do in word or deed in His name for the glory of the Father (Eph. 6:6; Matt. 5:16; 6:1; Col. 3:17). This will insure that you are subjecting yourself to the righteousness of God (Rom. 10:3). The God of righteousness will soon crush your old nature and put it under your control (Rom. 16:20). God will then reveal Jesus Christ’s new life in your flesh. As you continue to practice the righteous deeds that Christ did when He was here on earth, God will perfect you and strengthen you in this new and living Way (Heb. 10:20; 1 Peter 5:10). What a glorious Way it is! PREV NEXT 3 SIMPLE STEPS TO GET STARTED All About the Bible PDF MORE BIBLE STUDIES PODCASTS HOME © 2025 Whole Wheat International
