Does God have a plan for your life?God has good plans for our welfare, future, and hope, but we must actively pray and seek Him to see those plans fulfilled.Jeremiah 29:11
The great privilege of being a discipleGod loves His disciples with the exact same love He has for Jesus Christ, a profound privilege reserved for those who truly follow Him.
What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus?Being a disciple means loving Jesus so much more than family, self-life, and material possessions that our love for everything else looks like hatred by comparison.
Material blessings are not a sign of spiritual maturityGod sends physical sun and rain on both the good and evil, so worldly prosperity and health are never marks of true spiritual blessing.Matthew 5:45
The two great commandments that sum up the BibleAll scripture hangs on loving God with all your heart, soul, and mind, and loving your neighbor as yourself.Matthew 22:36–40
Why people avoid the lightPeople love darkness rather than light because their deeds are evil and they do not want their sin to be exposed.
God loves honest peopleAbsolute, ruthless honesty about our own corrupt flesh—without making excuses or blaming others—allows us to come into the light and find true deliverance.
Working out your salvation with God's helpWe are called to work out our salvation with fear and trembling, knowing that God is actively at work inside us to give us both the desire and the ability to do His will.Philippians 2:12–13
