Rebuke

"Let the righteous strike me; It shall be a kindness. And let him rebuke me; It shall be as excellent oil;  Let my head not refuse it. " Psalm 141:5

A rebuke must never be considered bad, in fact, for those who are of God, it's a blessing.

Corpse

"The very moment you separate body and spirit, you end up with a corpse. Separate faith and works and you get the same thing: a corpse." James 2:26

Faith without works is a corpse. The body may be perfect, but without the spirit, it must be buried...

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.
