salvation.

man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all

righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us.

Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things
have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may
know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son
of God.

the door, and knock: if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come
in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me.

CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD

THE
HOLY SPIRIT

Lk.11:13 If ye then, being
evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your
Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him?

Jn.7:38,39a He that
believeth on Me, as the Scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers
of living water. But this spake He of the Spirit, which they that believe on
Him should receive.

Jn.14:26 The Comforter,
which is the Holy Ghost, Whom the Father will send in My name, He shall teach
you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have
said unto you.

Jn.16:13 When He, the Spirit
of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of
Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will show
you things to come.

Acts 1:8 Ye shall receive
power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses
unto Me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the
uttermost part of the earth.

Acts 2:17,18 And it shall
come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of My Spirit upon all
flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men
shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: and on My servants and
on My handmaidens I will pour out in those days of My Spirit; and they shall
prophesy.

Acts 4:31b And they were all
filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the Word of God with boldness.

witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, Whom God hath given
to them that obey Him.

Acts 19:2,6 He said unto
them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto
Him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. And when
Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake
with tongues, and prophesied.

2Cor.3:17 Now the Lord is
that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

THE
WORD OF GOD

Josh.1:8 This book of the
law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and
night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein:
for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good
success.

Job 23:12b I have esteemed
the Words of His mouth more than my necessary food.

Psa.119:11 Thy Word have I
hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against Thee.

Psa.119:89 For ever, O Lord,
Thy Word is settled in Heaven.

Psa.119:105 Thy Word is a
lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

Jer.15:16a Thy Words were
found, and I did eat them.

Mat.4:4 Man shall not live
by bread alone, but by every Word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

Mat.24:35 Heaven and earth
shall pass away, but My Words shall not pass away.

that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the Words that I speak unto you,
they are spirit, and they are life.

Jn.8:31,32 If ye continue in
My Word, then are ye My disciples indeed. And ye shall know the truth, and the
truth shall make you free.

cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.

1Cor.10:11 Now all these
things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our
admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

2Tim.2:15 Study to show
thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly
dividing the Word of truth.

2Tim.3:16 All Scripture is
given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for
correction, for instruction in righteousness.

1Pet.2:2 As newborn babes,
desire the sincere milk of the Word, that ye may grow thereby.

2Pet.1:21 For the prophecy
came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were
moved by the Holy Ghost.

PRAYER

Psa.66:18,19 If I regard
iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me: But verily God hath heard me;
He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

Jer.29:13 Ye shall seek Me,
and find Me, when ye shall search for Me with all your heart.

Jer.33:3 Call unto Me, and I
will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest
not.

Mat.7:7,8 Ask, and it shall
be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him
that knocketh it shall be opened.

Mat.18:19 If two of you
shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be
done for them of My Father which is in Heaven.

Mk.11:24 What things soever
ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

Jn.16:23b Whatsoever ye
shall ask the Father in My name, He will give it you.

Jam.1:6,7 But let him ask in
faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven
with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any
thing of the Lord.

Jam.4:2b Ye have not,
because ye ask not.

1Jn.3:22 And whatsoever we
ask, we receive of Him, because we keep His commandments, and do those things
that are pleasing in His sight.

1Jn.5:14b If we ask any
thing according to His will, He heareth us.

FAITH

Job 13:15a Though He slay
me, yet will I trust in Him.

Pro.3:5 Trust in the Lord
with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

Mat.9:29b According to your
faith be it unto you.

Mk.9:23 If thou canst
believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

Rom.4:20,21 He staggered not
at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory
to God; and being fully persuaded that, what He had promised, He was able also
to perform.

Rom.10:17 Faith cometh by
hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.

2Cor.5:7 For we walk by
faith, not by sight.

Heb.10:35 Cast not away therefore
your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward.

Heb.10:38a Now the just
shall live by faith.

Heb.11:1,6 Faith is the
substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. But without
faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe
that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.

1Jn.5:4b This is the victory
that overcometh the world, even our faith.

LOVE

Mat.7:12 Therefore all
things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them.

Mat.22:37-39 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. This is the first and great commandment. And the
second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Jn.13:35 By this shall all
men know that ye are My disciples, if ye have love one to another.

Jn.15:12 This is My
commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

our lives for the brethren.

1Jn.3:18 My little children,
let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

1Jn.4:8 He that loveth not
knoweth not God; for God is love.

(See 1Cor.13--"The Love
Chapter".)

FORGIVENESS

Mat.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.

Eph.4:32 Be ye kind one to
another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake
hath forgiven you.

sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from
all unrighteousness.

OUR
RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD

Psa.111:10a The fear of the
Lord is the beginning of wisdom.

Pro.8:17 I love them that
love Me; and those that seek Me early shall find Me.

Mat.11:28-30 Come unto Me,
all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke
upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find
rest unto your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.

Mat.22:37,38 Thou shalt love
the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy
mind.

Jn.14:23 If a man love Me,
he will keep My Words: and My Father will love him, and We will come unto him,
and make Our abode with him.

Rom.7:4 Ye also are become
dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another,
even to Him Who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto
God.

2Cor.6:16b Ye are the temple
of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them;
and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.

Eph.5:30 We are members of
His body, of His flesh, and of His bones.

Jam.4:8a Draw nigh to God,
and He will draw nigh to you.

FELLOWSHIP

Heb.10:25 Not forsaking the
assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one
another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

Psa.133:1 Behold, how good
and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

Eccl.4:9,10 Two are better
than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall,
the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth;
for he hath not another to help him up.

Mat.18:20 Where two or three
are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them.

1Jn.1:7a If we walk in the
light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another.

WITNESSING

Psa.126:6 He that goeth
forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with
rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

Pro.11:30 The fruit of the
righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.

Ezk.3:17-19 Son of man, I
have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the Word at
My mouth, and give them warning from Me. When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt
surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked
from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his
iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Yet if thou warn the
wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall
die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

Dan.12:3 They that be wise
shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to
righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.

Mat.4:19 Follow Me, and I
will make you fishers of men.

Mat.5:14-16 Ye are the light
of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light
a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light
unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they
may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in Heaven.

Mat.9:37,38 Then saith He
unto His disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;
Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that He will send forth labourers
into His harvest.

Mk.8:38 Whosoever therefore
shall be ashamed of Me and of My Words in this adulterous and sinful
generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when He cometh in the
glory of His Father with the holy angels.

Mk.16:15 And He said unto
them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

Jn.15:16a Ye have not chosen
Me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth
fruit, and that your fruit should remain.

1Cor.9:16 For though I
preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me;
yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!

2Tim.2:23 But foolish and
unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.

2Tim.4:2 Preach the Word; be
instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering
and doctrine.

1Pet.3:15b Be ready always
to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in
you with meekness and fear.

GIVING

Pro.3:27,28 Withhold not
good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do
it. Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give;
when thou hast it by thee.

Pro.11:24,25 There is that
scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is
meet, but it tendeth to poverty. The liberal soul shall be made fat: And he
that watereth shall be watered also himself.

Pro.19:17 He that hath pity
upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord; and that which he hath given will He pay
him again.

Mal.3:10 Bring ye all the
tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in Mine house, and prove Me
now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of
Heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to
receive it.

Lk.6:38 Give, and it shall
be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running
over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete
withal it shall be measured to you again.

Acts 20:35b It is more
blessed to give than to receive.

2Cor.9:6,7 He which soweth
sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap
also bountifully. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him
give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

1Jn.3:17,18 Whoso hath this
world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of
compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? My little children,
let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

HOW TO
FIND THE WILL OF GOD

Judg.6:37 Behold, I will put
a fleece of wool in the floor; and if the dew be on the fleece only, and it be
dry upon all the earth beside, then shall I know that Thou wilt save Israel by
mine hand.

Psa.32:8 I will instruct
thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with Mine
eye.

Psa.119:130 The entrance of
Thy Words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.

Psa.143:8b Cause me to know
the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto Thee.

Pro.3:6 In all thy ways
acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.

Pro.15:22 Without counsel
purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are
established.

Isa.30:21 Thine ears shall
hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn
to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.

Lk.22:42 Father, if Thou be
willing, remove this cup from Me: nevertheless not My will, but Thine, be done.

Rom.12:1,2 I beseech you
therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a
living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of
your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect,
will of God.

OBEDIENCE
TO GOD

1Sam.15:22 Hath the Lord as
great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the
Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of
rams.

Job 36:11 If they obey and
serve Him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in
pleasures.

Isa.1:19,20 If ye be willing
and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: But if ye refuse and rebel, ye
shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

Lk.6:46 Why call ye Me,
Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

Jn.13:17 If ye know these
things, happy are ye if ye do them.

Jn.14:15 If ye love Me, keep
My commandments.

Jn.15:14 Ye are My friends,
if ye do whatsoever I command you.

Eph.6:6 Not with eyeservice,
as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the
heart.

Heb.5:8 Though He were a
Son, yet learned He obedience by the things which He suffered.

STRENGTH
and POWER

Psa.68:35b The God of Israel
is He that giveth strength and power unto His people.

Neh.8:10b The joy of the
Lord is your strength.

Psa.37:39 The salvation of
the righteous is of the Lord: He is their strength in the time of trouble.

Isa.30:7b Their strength is
to sit still.

Isa.30:15b In quietness and
in confidence shall be your strength.

Isa.40:29 He giveth power to
the faint; and to them that have no might He increaseth strength.

Isa.40:31 They that wait
upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as
eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Jer.17:5 Cursed be the man
that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from
the Lord.

Zech.4:6b Not by might, nor
by power, but by My Spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.

2Cor.4:7 But we have this
treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God,
and not of us.

2Cor.12:9,10b And He said
unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for My strength is made perfect in
weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the
power of Christ may rest upon me. For when I am weak, then am I strong.

Eph.6:10 Finally, my
brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might.

Phi.4:13 I can do all things
through Christ which strengtheneth me.

PROTECTION

Exo.14:14 The Lord shall
fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.

Psa.34:7 The angel of the
Lord encampeth round about them that fear Him, and delivereth them.

Psa.34:17 The righteous cry,
and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.

Psa.46:1,2 God is our refuge
and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear,
though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst
of the sea.

Pro.1:33 Whoso hearkeneth
unto Me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.

Pro.18:10 The name of the
Lord is a strong tower: The righteous runneth into it, and is safe.

Isa.43:2 When thou passest
through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not
overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned;
neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

(See Psa.91--"The Protection
Psalm".)

SUPPLY

Psa.23:1 The Lord is my
shepherd; I shall not want (lack).

Psa.34:10 They that seek the
Lord shall not want any good thing.

Psa.37:3 Trust in the Lord,
and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.

Psa.37:25 I have been young,
and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed
begging bread.

Psa.68:19a Blessed be the
Lord, Who daily loadeth us with benefits.

Psa.84:11b No good thing
will He withhold from them that walk uprightly.

Mat.6:25,26 Take no thought
for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your
body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than
raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap,
nor gather into barns; yet your Heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much
better than they?

Mat.6:33 Seek ye first the
Kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto
you.

Mat.7:9-11 What man is there
of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a
fish, will he give him a serpent? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good
gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in Heaven
give good things to them that ask Him?

Rom.8:32 He that spared not
His Own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also
freely give us all things?

Phi.4:19 My God shall supply
all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

TRIALS,
TEMPTATIONS and TRIBULATIONS

Job 23:10 He knoweth the way
that I take: when He hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.

Pro.1:10 My son, if sinners
entice thee, consent thou not.

Pro.3:11,12 My son, despise
not the chastening of the Lord; neither be weary of His correction: For whom
the Lord loveth He correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

Mat.26:41 Watch and pray,
that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh
is weak.

1Cor.10:13 There hath no
temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, Who
will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the
temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

2Tim.2:3 Endure hardness, as
a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

Heb.12:2,3 Looking unto
Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; Who for the joy that was set before
Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand
of the throne of God. For consider Him that endured such contradiction of
sinners against Himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.

Jam.1:3 The trying of your
faith worketh patience.

Jam.1:12 Blessed is the man
that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of
life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love Him.

1Pet.1:7 That the trial of
your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be
tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the
appearing of Jesus Christ.

2Pet.2:9a The Lord knoweth
how to deliver the godly out of temptations.

SUFFERING

Psa.34:19 Many are the
afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.

Psa.119:67 Before I was
afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept Thy Word.

Psa.119:71 It is good for me
that I have been afflicted; that I might learn Thy statutes.

Rom.8:18 For I reckon that
the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the
glory which shall be revealed in us.

Rom.8:28 And we know that
all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the
called according to His purpose.

2Cor.4:17 For our light
affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and
eternal weight of glory.

2Tim.2:12 If we suffer, we
shall also reign with Him: if we deny Him, He also will deny us.

that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to
Him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.

COMFORT

through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art
with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me.

endureth but a moment; in His favour is life: weeping may endure for a night,
but joy cometh in the morning.

comfort in my affliction: for Thy Word hath quickened me.

Psa.145:14 The Lord
upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down.

Psa.147:3 He healeth up the
broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.

in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any

to help in time of need.

will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

care upon Him; for He careth for you.

all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow,
nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are
passed away.

that healeth thee.

shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be

were cleansed.

among you? Let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over
him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: and the prayer of faith
shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed
sins, they shall be forgiven him.

OVERCOMING
THE DEVIL

Isa.59:19b When the enemy
shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard
against him.

2Cor.2:11 Lest Satan should
get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.

2Cor.10:3-5 For though we
walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: For the weapons of our
warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong
holds. Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself
against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the
obedience of Christ.

Eph.4:27 Neither give place to
the devil.

Eph.6:11,12 Put on the whole
armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For
we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against
powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual
wickedness in high places.

Eph.6:16 Above all, taking
the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts
of the wicked.

Jam.4:7b Resist the devil,
and he will flee from you.

vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about,
seeking whom he may devour: whom resist stedfast in the faith.

abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.

1Jn.3:8b For this purpose
the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.

1Jn.4:4b Greater is He that
is in you, than he that is in the world.

FEAR
NOT

Psa.27:1 The Lord is my
light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life;
of whom shall I be afraid?

Psa.34:4 I sought the Lord,
and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.

Psa.56:3 What time I am
afraid, I will trust in Thee.

Psa.56:11 In God have I put
my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.

Psa.118:6 The Lord is on my
side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?

bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe.

salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid.

Isa.26:3 Thou wilt keep him
in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee: because he trusteth in Thee.

I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of My
righteousness.

you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let
not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

2Tim.1:7 God hath not given
us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

1Jn.4:18 There is no fear in
love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that
feareth is not made perfect in love.

THANKFULNESS

Psa.34:1 I will bless the
Lord at all times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

Psa.107:8 Oh that men would
praise the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children
of men!

1Cor.10:10 Neither murmur
ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.

Phi.2:14 Do all things without
murmurings and disputings.

Phi.4:11 I have learned, in
whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.

1Thes.5:18 In every thing
give thanks.

PRIDE,
SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS and HUMILITY

Pro.11:2 When pride cometh,
then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.

Pro.16:18 Pride goeth before destruction, and
an haughty spirit before a fall.

Dan.4:37b Those that walk in
pride He is able to abase.

Mat.23:12 Whosoever shall
exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be
exalted.

Lk.6:41,42b Why beholdest
thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is
in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye,
and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's
eye.

2Cor.10:17 He that glorieth,
let him glory in the Lord.

Phi.2:3 Let nothing be done
through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other
better than themselves.

1Pet.5:5b,6 All of you be
subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the
proud, and giveth grace to the humble. Humble yourselves therefore under the
mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time.

THE
POWER OF THE TONGUE

Psa.19:14 Let the words of
my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord,
my strength, and my redeemer.

Psa.35:28 My tongue shall
speak of Thy righteousness and of Thy praise all the day long.

Pro.16:24 Pleasant words are
as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

Pro.17:27 He that hath
knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent
spirit.

Pro.18:21a Death and life
are in the power of the tongue.

Pro.29:11 A fool uttereth
all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.

Mat.12:34b Out of the
abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

Mat.12:36,37 Every idle word
that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

Eph.4:29 Let no corrupt
communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of
edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

2Tim.2:16 But shun profane
and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

2Tim.2:24 The servant of the
Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient.

Jam.1:19 Wherefore, my
beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.

Jam.1:26 If any man among
you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own
heart, this man's religion is vain.

(See James 3--The Tongue Chapter.)

UNITY

Psa.133:1 Behold, how good
and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

Eccl.4:9,10,12 Two are better
than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall,
the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth;
for he hath not another to help him up. And if one prevail against him, two
shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

Amos 3:3 Can two walk
together, except they be agreed?

Rom.12:5 We, being many, are
one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.

Rom.14:19 Let us therefore
follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may
edify another.

Rom.16:17 Mark them which
cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned;
and avoid them.

1Cor.1:10 Now I beseech you,
brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same
thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly
joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

Eph.4:3 Endeavouring to keep
the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

DISCIPLESHIP

Mat.4:19 Follow Me, and I
will make you fishers of men.

Mat.6:24 No man can serve
two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he
will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Mat.12:50 Whosoever shall do
the will of My Father which is in Heaven, the same is My brother, and sister,
and mother.

Mat.19:29 Every one that
hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife,
or children, or lands, for My name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and
shall inherit everlasting life.

Lk.9:23,24 If any man will come after Me, let
him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. For whosoever
will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for My sake,
the same shall save it.

Lk.9:62 No man, having put
his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of God.

My Word, then are ye My disciples indeed.

glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be My disciples.

2Tim.2:4 No man that warreth
entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please Him Who
hath chosen him to be a soldier.

THE
CHRISTIAN'S RELATIONSHIP TO WORLDLY SOCIETY

Mat.10:16 Behold, I send you
forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and
harmless as doves.

Jn.15:19 If ye were of the
world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I
have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

Rom.12:2 Be not conformed to
this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may
prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

2Cor.6:14 Be ye not
unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath
righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with
darkness?

2Cor.6:17 Come out from
among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean
thing; and I will receive you.

Jam.4:4 Ye adulterers and
adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God?
Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

1Jn.2:15,16 Love not the
world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the
love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the
flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father,
but is of the world.

PERSECUTION

Mat.5:10-12 Blessed are they
which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the Kingdom of
Heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall
say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be
exceeding glad: for great is your reward in Heaven: for so persecuted they the
prophets which were before you.

Mat.10:23a When they
persecute you in this city, flee ye into another.

Jn.15:18 If the world hate
you, ye know that it hated Me before it hated you.

Jn.15:20 Remember the word
that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his Lord. If they have
persecuted Me, they will also persecute you.

Jn.16:2b The time cometh,
that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.

Phi.1:29 For unto you it is
given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on Him, but also to suffer
for His sake.

2Tim.3:12 Yea, and all that
will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

BACKSLIDING

Psa.37:31 The law of his God
is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.

Pro.13:15b The way of
transgressors is hard.

Pro.14:14a The backslider in
heart shall be filled with his own ways.

2Tim.4:10a Demas hath
forsaken me, having loved this present world.

Heb.10:38 Now the just shall
live by faith: but if any man draw back, My soul shall have no pleasure in him.

Heb.11:15 If they had been
mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had
opportunity to have returned.

2Pet.2:20-22 For if after
they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord
and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the
latter end is worse with them than the beginning. For it had been better for
them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known
it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. But it is happened
unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit
again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

CHRISTIANITY
IN CRISIS

Ezk.33:31 They come unto
thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as My people, and they hear
thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they show much love,
but their heart goeth after their covetousness.

Ezk.34:2b,3 Woe be to the
shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the
flocks? Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill them that are
fed: but ye feed not the flock.

Mat.15:8,9 This people
draweth nigh unto Me with their mouth, and honoureth Me with their lips; but
their heart is far from Me. In vain they do worship Me, teaching for doctrines
the commandments of men.

Mat.22:29 Ye do err, not
knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.

Mk.7:9,13 Full well ye
reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. Making the
Word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered.

Acts 7:48 Howbeit the most
High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet.

2Tim.3:5 Having a form of
godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

Rev.3:15,16 I know thy
works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So
then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out
of My mouth.

(See Mat.23--Jesus' Rebuke to the
scribes and Pharisees.)

THE LAW
OF CHRIST

Mat.22:37-40 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. This is the first and great commandment. And the
second is like unto it. Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two
commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

Jn.1:17 For the law was
given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

Rom.3:28 Therefore we
conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

Rom.8:2 The law of the
Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

Rom.10:4 For Christ is the
end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

Rom.13:8b He that loveth
another hath fulfilled the law.

Gal.2:21 I do not frustrate
the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in
vain.

Gal.3:13a Christ hath
redeemed us from the curse of the law.

Gal.3:24,25 The law was our
schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But
after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

Gal.5:1 Stand fast therefore
in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again
with the yoke of bondage.

Gal.5:13 For, brethren, ye
have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the
flesh, but by love serve one another.

Gal.5:14 For all the law is
fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

1Tim.1:9a Knowing this, that
the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient.

Jam.2:10 Whosoever shall
keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

CREATION
VS. EVOLUTION

Gen.1:1 In the beginning God
created the heaven and the earth.

Acts 14:15b Ye should turn
from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the
sea, and all things that are therein.

Rom.1:20-22,25 For the
invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being
understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so
that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified
Him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations,
and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they
became fools, Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and
served the creature more than the Creator, Who is blessed for ever.

1Tim.6:20 Keep that which is
committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of
science falsely so called.

2Tim.3:7 Ever learning, and
never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Heb.11:3 Through faith we
understand that the worlds were framed by the Word of God, so that things which
are seen were not made of things which do appear.
