The Word

"For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one." 1 John 5.7

Jesus is the Word. His disciples take his word as a rule of life, behavior and character. If there are no such provisions in Christian conduct it is because that person has nothing to do with Jesus. They are simply chaff.

Weed

"But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away." Matthew 13.25

While the children of light sleep and get distracted, the devil sows his children in their midst to corrupt them and draw them back to darkness, whether it is through dating, marriage or any other form of partnerships.
Those who are wise are careful not to get involved with the children of darkness under any circumstances.

If...

"For if we died with Him, we shall also live with Him. If we endure,We shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, He also will deny us." 2 Timothy 2.11-12

We will live with Jesus IF we died with Him.

We will reign with Him IF we persevere. IF we deny Him, He will deny us.

In other words, the victory over death is conditioned by the attitudes of sacrificial faith: to die, to persevere and not to deny the Lord Jesus Christ.

Unequally yoked

"Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?" 2 Corinthians 6.14

Many Christians live with unnecessary conflicts. This is because they try to reconcile the light of faith without feelings to the mundane faith. They insist on trying to induce a "chemistry" between light and darkness. If it were possible, the above would not have been written and addressed to the faithful.

We are hated

"If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you." John 15.19

We cannot be surprised by the world's hatred for us. This is part of the Christian faith. We should find it strange if the world loved us. In this case, it would show we have nothing to do with our Lord Jesus Christ.

Show me the way

"In the morning let me hear about your faithful love, because I've put my trust in you. Show me the way I should live, because I pray to you." Psalm 143.8

No matter how simple the words of a prayer might be, when there is sincerity, sooner or later, the answer comes.

Small, but unshakable

"...For assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you." Matthew 17.20

God does not demand of us anything that we cannot do. Jesus teaches that the secret of faith is not in its size. For us to do great things, faith must be pure.
