The message in plain words, in the order it unfolds. Select a time to jump the video to that moment.
Protecting ourselves from error through God's warningsJust as road signs warn people of physical danger to prevent accidents, God's word provides warnings to protect us from spiritual error and deception.
Following living examples of godly peopleGod provides not only His written word but also living examples of human beings like the Apostle Paul whom we can follow as they follow Christ.
Jesus grew up and lived as a man without using His divine powersAlthough Jesus was God from all eternity, He humbled Himself and lived as a human child and man without using His divine powers, making it possible for us to follow His example.
Seeking God's approval rather than human gloryBelievers must reject the temptation to seek honor and impress people with human knowledge, choosing instead to live purely before the face of God.
Daily meditation on Scripture guided by the Holy SpiritTo be protected from unprincipled men and evil habits, believers must read the Bible daily and rely on the Holy Spirit to guide them into all truth.
Practical principles for financial integrityTrue servants of God learn not to make their financial needs known to people, to live simply without buying expensive things, and to remain silent when falsely accused.
Trusting God instead of falling into debtWhile most people have secular jobs, believers must trust God for their provision and avoid covetousness, which the Bible equates with idolatry.
Greed among religious teachers and believersJust as unprincipled teachers seek money from people, many professing Christians fall into the sin of greed and idolatry by constantly wanting more than what God has provided.
Living under grace so sin cannot rule over youJust as an umbrella or roof protects a person from rain, God's grace protects a believer so that sin no longer has dominion over them.
Jesus was tempted like us yet without sinJesus faced the exact same temptations we face in our weakness, yet He did not sin because He lived under grace, and we can approach the throne of grace to receive the same help.
Fleeing from immorality rather than trying to resist itWhen facing powerful temptations like sexual immorality, believers must not try to stand and fight but must literally run away and turn off the source of temptation.
A final call to humility and dedication to GodBelievers are urged to humble themselves, ask God for forgiveness, forgive others, and depend entirely on His grace to live as true overcoming servants of God.
