THE DAILY WALK OF A CHRISTIAN ACCORDING TO THE WORD OF GOD: JOHN 15:12 Love each other as I have loved you. This is what I’m commanding you to do. ROMANS 12:10 Be devoted to each other like a loving family. Excel in showing respect for each other. EPHESIANS 5:2 Live in love as Christ also loved us. He gave his life for us as an offering and sacrifice, a soothing aroma to God. HEBREWS 13:1-2 Continue to love each other. Don’t forget to show hospitality to believers you don’t know. By doing this some believers have shown hospitality to angels without being aware of it. HEBREWS 12:1 Since we are surrounded by so many examples ⸤of faith⸥, we must get rid of everything that slows us down, especially sin that distracts us. We must run the race that lies ahead of us and never give up. 1 THESSALONIANS 5:22 Keep away from every kind of evil. LET US PATTERN OUR DAILY WALK ACCORDING TO THESE VERSES.

IF YOU WISH TO RECIEVE, FIRST GIVE: Matthew 7:12 “Always do for other people everything you want them to do for you. That is ⸤the meaning of⸥ Moses’ Teachings and the Prophets. Luke 6:31 “Do for other people everything you want them to do for you. 1 Corinthians 10:24 People should be concerned about others and not just about themselves. Philippians 2:3–5 Don’t act out of selfish ambition or be conceited. Instead, humbly think of others as being better than yourselves. Don’t be concerned only about your own interests, but also be concerned about the interests of others. Have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. Do you wish to receive kindness? Be kind to another. Do you wish to receive mercy? Show mercy to your neighbor. Do you wish to be applauded? Applaud another. Do you wish to be beloved? Exercise love. Do you wish to enjoy the first rank? First concede that place to another. Become yourself the judge, yourself the lawgiver of your own life. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THIS WORD FROM GOD?

HUSBANDS DO NOT SCOLD YOUR WIVES. GOD TEACHES US HOW TO TREAT OUR WIVES. EPHESIANS 5:25-33 Husbands, love your wives as Christ loved the church and gave his life for it. He did this to make the church holy by cleansing it, washing it using water along with spoken words. Then he could present it to himself as a glorious church, without any kind of stain or wrinkle—holy and without faults. So husbands must love their wives as they love their own bodies. A man who loves his wife loves himself. No one ever hated his own body. Instead, he feeds and takes care of it, as Christ takes care of the church. We are parts of his body. That’s why a man will leave his father and mother and be united with his wife, and the two will be one. This is a great mystery. (I’m talking about Christ’s relationship to the church.) But every husband must love his wife as he loves himself, and wives should respect their husbands. COLOSSIANS 3:19 Husbands, love your wives, and don’t be harsh with them. 1 PETER 3:7 Husbands, in a similar way, live with your wives with understanding since they are weaker than you are. Honor your wives as those who share God’s life-giving kindnessso that nothing will interfere with your prayers. A servant indeed one will be able, perhaps, to bind down by fear; but not even him, for he will soon start away and be gone. But the partner of one’s life, the mother of one’s children, the foundation of one’s every joy, one ought never to chain down by fear and menaces, but with love and good temper. For what sort of union is that where the wife trembles at her husband? And what sort of pleasure will the husband himself enjoy, if he dwells with his wife as with a slave, and not as with a free woman? Indeed, though you should suffer anything on her account, do not scold her; for neither did Christ do this.

Scripture says, “Be holy, because I am holy.” Luke 1:6. Zechariah and Elizabeth had God’s approval. They followed all the Lord’s commands and regulations perfectly.

THIS IS WHAT GOD TEACHES ABOUT COMPASSION AND SYMPATHY: 1 PETER 3:8 Finally, everyone must live in harmony, be sympathetic, love each other, have compassion, and be humble. JOB 6:14 “A friend should treat a troubled person kindly, even if he abandons the fear of the Almighty. PROVERBS 19:17 Whoever has pity on the poor lends to the LORD, and he will repay him for his good deed. GALATIONS 6:2 Help carry each other’s burdens. In this way you will follow Christ’s teachings. So if any one of you thinks you’re important when you’re really not, you’re only fooling yourself. 1JOHN 3:17 Now, suppose a person has enough to live on and notices another believer in need. How can God’s love be in that person if he doesn’t bother to help the other believer? ALLOW THESE VERSES TO BE A GUIDE UNTO YOUR LIFE. LIVE GODLY AND BE BLESSED BY GOD.

THE BIBLE TEACHES US ABOUT GENEROSITY. Proverbs 11:25 A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed. Psalm 112:5 Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely, who conduct their affairs with justice.

THIS IS WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT MAKING PROMISES: Ecclesiastes 5:5 It is better not to make a promise than to make one and not keep it. Proverbs 10:19 Sin is unavoidable when there is much talk, but whoever seals his lips is wise. Ecclesiastes 5:6 Don’t let your mouth make you sin. And don’t defend yourself by telling the Temple messenger that the promise you made was a mistake. That would make God angry, and he might wipe out everything you have achieved. Matthew 5:33-36 “Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill to the Lord the vows you have made.’ But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne; or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. ALLOW THESE VERSES TO BE A GUIDE UNTO YOUR LIFE.

The Age of the Bible The Holy Bible is not only the greatest and best of all books, but it is also the oldest. Its history has been very difficult to trace, yet the same Divine guidance that set its authors to work to write it has made Christians delve into the mists of the past to learn all about it. We find out more about it every day through the research of learned men, and things that are now hidden from us regarding it doubtless will be revealed in the course of time. As to its authors and age, however, we know a very great deal. It was written by about forty different men and as it comes to us it took about sixteen hundred years to compose. We know pretty accurately that Moses began it about the year 1500 B.C. and that John, who wrote the last book, Revelation, finished it about the year 90 A.D., which estimate fills out the sixteen centuries. The Bible gets its name from a Greek word which means “the little books.” Gradually, in the course of many years, this word came to stand for something more than “little books,” of which the Big Book was composed. It came to mean “the book,” the “holy book,” and finally it came to mean just what it means today—the Holy Book of Books. This great work is composed of two parts—the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old Testament has in it thirty-nine books or parts. It contains God’s account of the creation of the world, a history of the Jewish people and God’s dealings with them, a number of books written by the great Jewish prophets in which are foretold the things that happen in the New Testament, as well as a number of beautiful books of purely a religious character, such as the Psalms. The men who wrote the Old Testament discontinued working on it about four hundred years before Jesus Christ was born. The New Testament begins with the birth of Jesus and covers a period of about seventy-five years down to the time when the faith of Christianity was being extended by the men Jesus Himself chose to go out into the world and tell about it. The New Testament contains twenty-seven books, four of which are known as Gospels, because they tell particularly of the life of Jesus. Some learned men think the word “gospel” means “God story” or “narrative of God,” while some think it means “good story” or “good tidings,” because of the tidings of salvation that it brings to those who read it.
