Iniquity

"And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold." Matthew 24:12

The coldness of the heart you find too often nowadays is a result of the iniquity abound. When one lacks spiritual values, moral values are usually affected with little and almost no true love left, which by the way, can only come from faith.

Like Children

"For an answer Jesus called over a child, whom he stood in the middle of the room, and said, "I'm telling you, once and for all, that unless you return to square one and start over like children, you're not even going to get a look at the kingdom, let alone get in." Matthew 18:3

Everything we tell a child, she believes and accepts it immediately because of her innocence. The same God requires from us to enter His Kingdom.

Lose

"And be very careful around them so you don't lose out on what we've worked so diligently in together; I want you to get every reward you have coming to you." 2 John 1:8

Satan and his gang know that it is easier to give up than to keep our faith. And so they persevere. But those who are of God maintain their faith upon the rock because of the conscience of their eternal future.

Effort

"...the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force." Matthew 11:12

Our Lord teaches us that salvation costs a high price. It requires effort, determination, courage, and attitude. You will have to sacrifice constantly throughout your life. If you're too shy about it, you'll be left outside waiting.

Blessed

"So, what a blessing when God steps in and corrects you! Mind you, don't despise the discipline of Almighty God!" Job 5:17

It's always good to attend to our Father's discipline, for He knows what's best for those who belong to Him, and so they go from victory to victory.

Goodness

"And now, Master God, being the God you are, speaking sure words as you do, and having just said this wonderful thing to me, please, just one more thing: Bless my family; keep your eye on them always." 2 Samuel 7:28

I will not seek anyone else but Your goodness. I wait and trust in Your Promises, for You are the True God.

None has failed

"As you can see, I'm about to go the way we all end up going. Know this with all your heart, with everything in you, that not one detail has failed of all the good things God, your God, promised you. It has all happened. Nothing's left undone—not so much as a word." Joshua 23:14

If one has walked in God's Ways and believed in His Promises, one can see each one of them being fulfilled in His children who have obeyed.
