ADVOCATE
1 Timothy 2:5-6 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time. 1 Timothy 2:5-6 When two sides cannot come to an agreement face to face, it is time for the mediator to be brought in. The mediator will act as a bridge, perhaps as a go between for the two parties, or perhaps as a third-party perspective to find some means by which both sides can c

REJOICE IN GOD'S GOODNESS
1 Timothy 4:4-5 For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer. 1 Timothy 4:4-5 This flies in the face of beliefs that say that spiritual things are good, while material things, the world around us, is bad. When God looked upon His creation on the seventh day, He said it was "very good." We are called to consecrate, or set apart, God's creation for His purposes and

PURSUE, FIGHT, HOLD
1 Timothy 6:11-12 But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith. Take bold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses. 1 Timothy 6:11-12 Just after talking about being content with food and clothing and warning of the love of money, Paul gives this encouragement to Timothy about what he should pur

PIONEERED BY JESUS INTO GOD'S FAMILY
Hebrews 2:10-13 In bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through what he suffered. Both the one who makes people holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters. He says, “I will declare your name to my brothers and sisters; in the assembly I will sing your praises." And again, “I will

OUR UNCHANGING LORD
Hebrews 13:7-8 Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Hebrews 13:7-8 In the beginning, God spoke the word into being from nothing and in the beginning was the Word, Who was with God and was God. That living Word of God is Jesus Christ, the righteous Man born of a woman. Jesus of Nazareth is the incarnate Word, the Son of God Who was gi

ONE GOD, ONE LORD
1 Corinthians 8:5-6 For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many "gods" and many "Lords"), yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live. 1 Corinthians 8:5-6 Paul writes, there is indeed one God. He is the Father. All things come from Him, and we exist for Him. Also, there is only one Lor

NO FEAR
2 Timothy 1:7 For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. 2 Timothy 1:7 The whole picture in this verse is not talking about a fear of God, but a fear of man, a fear of what could happen to us in this world, a fear of things going this way or that way around us, fear of circumstances, and all kinds of ways like that. God has not given us a spirit of fear though. He has given us a spirit of power and love and self-control. T

MERCIFUL, FAITHFUL AND SUFFERING HIGH PRIEST
Hebrews 2:17-18 For this reason, he had to be made like them, fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people. Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted. Hebrews 2:17-18 We have a sympathetic Savior who faced temptation and We have a sympathetic Savior who faced rempration and understands the difficult

MATURING ON SOLID FOOD
Hebrews 5:13-14 Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil. Hebrews 5:13-14 These verses are, in a sense, a rebuke to those who should be mature in their faith, mature in their understanding of God's Word, but who still drink milk like an infant in faith. I read this, and I'm compelled to pray for maturi

MADE ALIVE IN CHRIST
1 Corinthians 15:20-25 But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. But each in turn: Christ, the fistfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him. Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority

LOVE LANGUAGE
Hebrews 13:1-3 Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters. Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it. Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering. Hebrews 13:1-3 We are called in this verse to develop a strong kinship with all members of the body of Christ and to engender a strong f
