What was God's original purpose for man?God created man in His image and likeness, intending for human beings to reflect His character and be like Him in every way.
God's voice versus Satan's voiceWhile Jesus invites us to be like Him in character by serving others and forgiving enemies, Satan tells us we can be like God through power, position, and authority.
Manifesting God's glory in a human bodyGod sent Jesus into a human body as the perfect demonstration of truth and grace combined, showing us how to live without compromising God's standard.
Refusing to let the devil use our tongueJesus taught that the devil is the father of lies, and we must never yield our tongues to cooperate with falsehood or deceit.
Choosing truth over self-preservationWhen faced with trials or the temptation to lie to protect our jobs, we must honor God by speaking the truth and trusting Him for our provision.
Healing through a forgiving heartMany physical sicknesses among believers stem from an unwillingness to forgive others, and true healing often requires us to release bitterness and forgive.
Three wonderful truths from 1 Corinthians 6Paul teaches three foundational realities about our physical bodies: our body is for the Lord, it is a member of Christ, and it is a temple of the Holy Spirit.
Giving our bodies to God as a living sacrificeBecause God wants to manifest His glory through us, we must yield our bodies completely to Him with reverence and worship.
