• Adam&Eve’s Descendants Information

    Adam-The first man created on Earth by the Lord God Almighty (Creator). Adam was given dominion over the entire Earth and was given the task of keeping the Garden of Eden healthy and to care for it. It is because of his disobedience that the world and creation was cursed and death was brought into the world. He is also the Husband of Eve the mother of all human beings and father of every human being. He died at age 930 years old.

    Eve-The First woman of all human beings created from Adam’s rib by the Lord God Almighty. The devil deceived Eve into eating the fruit of the Tree of knowledge of good and evil. And in return gave Adam the same fruit to eat and every human being is descended from her as well.

    Cain-Adam&Eve’s First born son who murdered his younger brother Abel after being rejected by the Lord God Almighty. The Lord God almighty put a mark on Cain to prevent anyone from killing Cain in retaliation for murdering his brother. His son name is Enoch in which he built a city named after his son. Cain married his sister when she conceived Enoch. Also Cain was a Farmer as well.

It is through Seth that we are descendants Adam that survived to this day. It is because of Seth that Lord Jesus was able to be born on Earth due to Abel to be murdered and being cut off from having descendants. Seth’s son name is Enosh..

  • Book of Ecclesiastes

    Chapter 1: Everything is Futile

    “The words of the Teacher, son of David, king in Jerusalem.”Absolute futility,” says the Teacher. “ Absolute futility. Everything is futile. What does a person gain for all is efforts that he labors at under the sun? A generation goes and a generation comes, but the earth remains forever. The sun rises and the sun sets; panting, it returns to the place where it rises. Gusting to the south, turning to the north, turning, turning, goes the wind, and the wind returns in its cycles.”

    “All the streams flow to the sea, yet the sea is never full; to the place the streams flow, there they flow again. All things are wearisome, more than anyone can say. The eye is not satisfied by seeing or the ear filled with hearing. What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done; there is nothing new under the sun.”

    “Can one say about anything, “Look, this is new”? It has already existed in the ages before us. There is no remembrance of those who came before; and of those who will come after there will also be no remembrance by those who follow them.”

    Part 2: The Limitations of Wisdom:

    “I the Teacher, have been king over Israel in Jerusalem. I applied my mind to examine and explore through wisdom all that is done under heaven. God has given people this miserable task to keep them occupied. I have seen all the things that are done under the sun and have found everything to be futile, a pursuit of the wind.” What is crooked cannot be made straightened; hat is lacking cannot be counted.

    “I said to myself,”See, I have amassed wisdom far beyond all those who were over Jerusalem before me, and my mind has thoroughly grasped wisdom and knowledge. I applied my mind to know wisdom and knowledge, madness and folly; I learned that this too is a pursuit of the wind. For with much wisdom is much sorrow; as knowledge increases grief increases.”

    Chapter 2

    The Emptiness of Pleasure:

    “I said to myself, “Go ahead, I will test you with pleasure l enjoy what is good.” But it turned out to be futile. I said about laughter, It is madness, and about pleasure, “What does it accomplish? I explored with my mind the pull of wine on my body my mind still guiding me with wisdom and how to grasp folly, until I could see what is good for people to do under heaven during the few days of their lives.”

    Part 2: The emptiness of Possessions

    “I increased my achievements. I built houses and planted vineyards for myself. I made gardens and parks for myself and planted every kind of fruit tree in them. I constructed reservoirs for myself from which to irrigate a grove of flourishing trees. I acquired male and female servants and had slaves who were born in my house. I also owned livestock large herds and flocks more than all who were before me in Jerusalem.”

    “I also amassed silver and gold for myself, and the treasure of kings and provinces. I gathered male and female singers for myself and many concubines, the delights of men. So I became great and surpassed all who were before me in Jerusalem; my wisdom also remained with me. All that my eyes desired, I did not deny them. I did not refuse myself any pleasure, for I took pleasure in all my struggles. This was my reward for all my struggles.”

    “When I considered all that I had accomplished and what I had labored to achieve, I found everything to be futile and a pursuit of the wind. There was nothing to be gained under the sun.”

    Part 3: The relative Value of Wisdom

    “Then I turned to wisdom, madness and folly, for what will the king’s successor be like? He will do what has already been done. And I realized that there is an advantage to wisdom over folly, like the advantage of light over darkness. The wise person has eyes in his head but the fool walks in darkness. Yet I also knew that one fate comes to them both. So I said to myself, “What happens to the fool will also happen to me. Why then have I been overly wise?”

    “And I said to myself that this is also futile. For, just like the fool, there is no lasting remembrance of the wise, since in the days to come both will be forgotten. How is it that the wise person dies just like the fool? Therefore, I hated life because the work that was done under the sun was distressing to me. For everything is futile and a pursuit of the wind.”

    Part 4: The emptiness of work

    “I hated all my work that I labored at under the sun because I must leave it to the one who comes after me. And who knows whether he will be wise or a fool? Yet he will take over all my work that I labored at skillfully under the sun. This too futile. So I began to give myself over to despair concerning all my work that I had labored at under the sun.”

    “When there is a person whose work was one with wisdom, knowledge, and skill, and he must give is portion to a person who has not worked for it this too is futile and a great wrong. For what does a person get with all his work and all his efforts that he labors under the sun? For all his days are filled with grief, and his occupation is sorrowful; even at night, his mind does not rest. This too is futile.”

    “There is nothing better for a person than to eat , drink, and enjoy his work. I have seen that even this is from God’s hand, because who can eat and enjoy life apart from him? For to the person who is pleasing in his sight, he gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy; but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and accumulating in order to give to the one who pleasing in God’s sight. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.”

    Chapter 3

    Part 1

    The Mystery of Time:

    “There is an occasion for everything, and a time for every activity under heaven: a time to give birth and a time to uproot; a time to kill and a time to heal; a time to tear down and a time to build; a time to weep and a time to laugh; a time to mourn and a time to dance; a time to throw stones and a time to gather stones; a time to embrace and a time to avoid embracing; a time to search and a time to count as lost; a time to keep and a time to throw away; a time to tear and a time to sew; a time to be silent and a time to speak; a time to love and a time to hate; a time for war and a time for peace.”

    “What does the worker gain from his struggles? I have seen the task that God has given the children of Adam to keep them occupied. He has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also put eternity in their hearts, but no one can discover the work God has done from the beginning to end. I know that there is nothing better for them tan to rejoice and enjoy the good life. It is also the gift of God whenever anyone eats, drinks, and enjoys all his efforts. I know that everything God does will last forever; there is no adding to it or taking from it. God works so that people will be in awe of him. Whatever is, has already been, and whatever will be, already is. However, God seeks justice for the persecuted.”

    Part 2

    The Mystery of Injustice and Death

    “I also observed under the sun: there is wickedness at the place of judgment and there is wickedness at the place of righteousness. I said to myself, “God will judge the righteous and the wicked, since there is a time for every activity and every work. I said to myself, This happens so that God may test the children of Adam and they may see for themselves that they are like animals. For the Fate of the children of Adam and the fate of animals is the same.”

    “As one dies, so dies the other; they have all the same breath. People have no advantage over animals since everything is futile. All are going to the same place all come from the dust, and all return to the dust. Who knows if the spirits of the children of Adam go upward and the spirits of animals go downward to the earth? I have seen that there is nothing better than for a person to enjoy his activities because that is his reward. For who can enable him to see what will happen after he dies?”

    Part3 (Continued)

    “Again, I observed all the acts of the oppression being done under the sun. Look at the tears of those who are oppressed; they have no one to comfort them. Power is with those who oppress them; they have no one to comfort them. So I commended the dead, who have already died, more than the living, who are still alive. But better than either of them is the one who has not yet existed., who has not seen the evil activity under the sun.”

    Chapter 4

    The loneliness of wealth

    “I saw that all labor and all skillful work is due to one person’s jealousy of another. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind. The fool folds his arms and consumes his own flesh. Better one handful with rest than two handfuls with effort and a pursuit of the wind. Again, I saw futility under the sun: There is a person without a companion., without even a son or brother, and though there is no end to all his struggles, his eyes are still not content with riches. Who am I struggling for, he asks, and depriving myself of good things? This too is futile and a miserable task.”

    “Two are better than one because they have a good reward for their efforts. For if either falls, his companion can lift him up; but pity the one who falls without another to lift him up. Also, if two lie down together, they can keep warm; but how can one person alone keep warm? And if someone overpowers one person, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not easily broken.”

    “Better is poor but wise youth than old but foolish king who no longer pays attention to warnings. For he came from prison to be king, even though he was born poor in his kingdom. I saw all the living, who move about under the sun, follow the second youth who succeeds him. There is no limit to all the people who were before them, yet those who come later will not rejoice in him. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.”

  • The reason we should follow Lord Jesus our savior is to walk in the light. For he states that he is the true light of the world and we Christians and believers are the true children of the light.

    If we follow the darknness we fall into sin but if we follow the light we avoid sin and do what is right and good. For true Wise people follow the light and the foolish follow the darkness and Jesus is the wisdom of God. So it would be wise to follow Jesus.

  • Heavenly Father, I accept your forgiveness and your son my Lord Jesus Christ into my heart and I believe that Lord Jesus died for my sins and rose from the dead. Please Jesus rescue me from my sins as I accept you as my Lord and Savior and believe in your name in Jesus name amen

    New Testament Times

    Note: This is the time period that the Son of God becomes a human being and dies on the cross to save all of mankind from sin. Christianity is born after Pentecost when the Holy Spirit comes to dwell in humans who accepts Jesus into their hearts and believes in him and on his name. It is a change in history where another religion other than Christianity is also born called Islam which is from Ishmael the other son of Abraham. The Islamic muslim religion is a false religion and a crooked version of Christianity that denies that Jesus is the Son of God.

  • Guide to Being a Disciple of Jesus Christ

    Note: A bunch of different bible verses that helps you be a better disciple of Jesus Christ

    And Please God while making self-sacrifices to become content and more Godly. Basically Do what is said in the bible verses.

    The yellow shaded areas are the main important parts to focus on with notes and guide lines and the red is another important part to show that God’s words and commands are revealed.

    Greatest Commandments:

    1. Love God with all your Heart, Mind, Soul, and Strength,
    2. Love your neighbor as yourself

    New Commandment: 1. Love one another

    Note: These two great commandments fulfill the law and complete the ten commandments by one action Love

    Warning about the world:

    1John 2:15-17 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride in one’s possessions is not from the Father, but is from the world. And the world with its lust is passing away, but the one who does the will of God remains forever.

    Following Christ

    1Peter 4 Therefore, since Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same understanding because the one who suffers in the flesh is finished with sin in order to live the remaining time in the flesh no longer for human desires, but for God’s will. For there has already been enough time spent in doing what the Gentiles choose to do: carrying on in unrestrained behavior, evil desires, drunkenness, orgies, carousing, and lawless idolatry.

    They are surprised that you don’t join them in the same flood of wild living and they slander you. They will give an account to the one who stands ready to judge the living and the dead. For this reason the gospel was also preached to those who are now dead, so that although they might be judged in the flesh according to human standards, they might live in the spirit according to God’s standards.

    Children and Parents

    Ephesians 6:1-4 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, because this is right. Honor your father and mother, which is the first commandment with a promise, so that it may go well with you and that you may have a long life in the land. Fathers, don’t stir up anger in your children, but bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord. Note: Even though Adults no longer have to obey their parents when living on their own, they still have to honor their parents.

    Living the new Life

    Ephesians 4:25-32 Therefore, putting away lying, speak the truth each one to his neighbor, because we are members of one another. Be angry and do not sin. Do not let the sun go down on your anger, and don’t give the devil an opportunity. Let the thief no longer steal. Instead, he is to do honest work with his own hands, so that he has something to share with anyone in need. No foul language should come out of your mouth, but only what is good for building up someone in need, so that it gives grace to those who hear. And don’t grieve God’s Holy Spirit. You were sealed by him for redemption. Let all bitterness, anger, wrath, shouting, and slander be removed from you, along with all malice. Note: List of changes in your life that should occur

    And be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as God also forgave you. Note: This is how you should act towards one another

    Continuation of instructions of living the new life

    Ephesians 5:1-5 Therefore, be imitators of God,(loving, Kind, Forgiving, Patient, Merciful) as dearly loved children, and walk in love, as Christ also loved us and gave himself for us, a sacrificial and fragrant offering to God. But sexual immorality and any impurity or greed should not even be heard of among you, as is proper for saints. Obscene and foolish talking or crude joking are not suitable, but rather giving thanks. For now, and recognize this: Every sexually immoral or impure or greedy person, who is an idolater, does not have an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Note: The old ways a person used to act like and speak like has to change to a godly way in a new way.

    Light versus Darkness

    Ephesians 5:6-12 Let no one deceive you with empty arguments, for God’s wrath is coming upon the disobedient because of these things. Therefore, do not become their partners. For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light for the fruit of the light consists of all goodness, righteousness, and truth testing what is pleasing to the Lord. Don’t participate in the fruitless works of darkness, but instead expose them. For it is even shameful even to mention what is done by them in secret. Note: Darkness conceals sins until light reveals the sins and is exposed. We should not participate in the works of sin and evil no matter how persuasive it is.

    Consistency in the Christian life

    Ephesians 5:15-21 Pay careful attention, then, to how you live not as unwise people but as wise making the most of the time, because the days are evil. So don’t be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is. And don’t get drunk with wine, which leads to reckless living, but be filled by the spirit: speaking to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making music with your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another in the fear of Christ. Note: It’s all about living a wise life and using the time you have on Earth wisely.

    Wives and Husbands

    Ephesians 5:22-33 Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord, because the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church. He is the Savior of the body. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives are to submit to their husbands in everything. Note: Just as the church submits to Christ, so must a wife submit to and respect her husband. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself for her to her holy, cleansing her with the washing of water by the word.

    He did this to present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle, or anything like that, but holy and blameless. In the same way, husbands are to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hates his own flesh but provides and cares for it, just as Christ does for the church, since we are members of his body.

    For this reason, a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. This mystery is profound, but I am talking about Christ and the Church. To sum it up, each one of you is to love his wife as himself, and the wife is to respect her husband. Note: Just like marriage started with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, now a new marriage has emerged which is between Jesus Christ and the Church for Jesus is the bridegroom and the Church is the Bride.

    Carrying one another’s burdens

    Galatians 6:1-2 Brothers and sisters, if someone is overtaken in any wrongdoing, you who are spiritual, restore such a person with a gentle spirit, watching out for yourselves so that you also won’t be tempted. Carry one another’s burden; in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. Note: We should help others who can’t get out of a sin without being tempted ourselves if you are spiritual.

    A word to the unmarried

    1Corinthian 7:8-9 I say to the unmarried and to the widows: It is good for them if they remain as I am. But if they do not have self-control, they should marry, since it is better to marry than to burn with desire.

    About Married People

    1Corinthians 7:10-16 To the married I give this command not I, but the Lord a wife is not to leave her husband. But if she does leave, she must remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband and a husband is not to divorce his wife. But I (not the Lord) say to the rest: if any brother has an unbelieving wife and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her. Also, if any woman has an unbelieving husband and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce her husband. For the unbelieving husband is made holy by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is made holy by the husband. Otherwise, your children would be unclean, but as it is they are holy. Note: The believing spouse would provide a covering for the unbelieving spouse and children

    But if the unbeliever leaves, let him leave. A brother or a sister is not bound in such cases. God has called you to live in peace. Wife, for all you know, you might save your husband. Husband, for all you know, you might save your wife.

    About the unmarried and widows

    1Corinthians 7:25-28 Now about virgins: I have no command from the Lord, but I do give an opinion as one who by the Lord’s mercy is faithful. Because of the present distress, I think that it is good for a man to remain as he is. Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be released. Are you released from a wife? Do not seek a wife. However, if you do get married, you have not sinned, and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But such people will have trouble in this life, and I am trying to spare you. Note: Paul is trying to spare us the pain that is in marriage and that life brings because of it.

    1Corinthians 7:32-35 I want you to be without concerns. The unmarried man is concerned about the things of the Lord how he may please the Lord. But the married man is concerned about the things of the world how he may please his wife and his interests are divided. The unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the things of the Lord, so that she may be holy both in both body and spirit. But the married woman is concerned about the things of the world how she may please her husband.

    I am saying this for your own benefit, not to put a restraint on you, but to promote what is proper and so that you may be devoted to the Lord without distractions.

    Note: There’s a difference between the married and unmarried people lives in devotion to the Lord.

    The Way of Love (This is how we should know we love one another)

    1Corinthians 13:4-7 Love is patient, love is kind, Love does not envy, is not boastful, is not arrogant, is not rude, is not self-seeking, is not irritable, and does not keep a record of wrongs. Love finds no joy in unrighteousness but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Notes: The yellow highlights represent what love is and does and the blue color represents what loves does not do

    Sermon on the Mount (Jesus Teachings)

    Matthew 5:1-12

    The Beatitudes

    Blessed are the poor in spirit, for the kingdom of heaven is theirs

    Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted

    Blessed are the humble, for they will inherit the earth

    Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled

    Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy

    Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God

    Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God

    Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for the kingdom of heaven is theirs

    You are blessed when they insult you and persecute you and falsely say every kind of evil against you because of me. Be glad and rejoice, because your reward is great in heaven. For that is how they persecuted the prophets who were before you. Note: These are true blessings that show if a person is truly blessed.

    Believers are salt and the light

    Matthew 5:13-16 You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt should lose it tastes, how can it be made salty? It’s no longer good for anything but to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet. You are the light of the world. A city situated on a hill cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and puts it under a basket a basket, but rather on a lampstand, and it gives light for all who are in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in Heaven.

    Murder begins in the heart

    Matthew 5:21-30 You have heard that it was said to our ancestors, Do not murder, and whoever murders will be subject to judgement. But I tell you, everyone who is angry with his brother or sister will be subject to judgement. Whoever insult his brother or sister will be subject to the court. Whoever says you fool will be subject to hellfire. Note: Green means that murder starts with anger first, as it did with Cain when his offering was rejected. Get rid of anger as soon as possible so you won’t face judgement due to angry actions.

    So, if you are offering a gift on the altar, and there you remember that your brother or sister has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled with your brother or sister, and then come back and offer your gift. Reach a settlement quickly with your adversary while you are on the way with him to the court, or adversary will hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the officer and you will be thrown into prison. Truly I tell you, you will never get out of there until you have paid the last penny.

    Divorce Practices Censured

    Matthew 5:31-32 It was also said, whoever divorces his wife must give her a written notice of divorce. But I tell you, everyone who divorces his wife, except in a case of sexual immorality, causes her to commit adultery. And whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

    Adultery begins in the heart

    Matthew 5:27-30 You have heard that it was said, Do not commit adultery. But I tell you, everyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of the parts of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.

    Go to the second mile

    Matthew 5:38-42 You have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye and a tooth. But I tell you, don’t resist an evildoer. On the contrary, if anyone slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. As for the one who wants to sue you and take your shirt, let him have your coat as well. And if anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him two. Give to the one who asks you, and don’t turn away from the one who wants to from you.

    Love your enemies

    Matthew 5:43-48 You have heard that was said Love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be children of your Father in heaven. For he causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. For if you love those who love you, what reward will you have? Don’t even the tax collectors do the same? Note: Instead of hating your enemy we are commanded to love them, pray for them, and do good to them as said in the gospel of Luke

    And if you greet only your brother and sisters, what are you doing out of the ordinary? Don’t even the gentiles do the same? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly father is perfect.

    How to Give ( Practicing righteousness)

    Matthew 6:1-4 Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. Otherwise, you have no reward with your Father in Heaven. So whenever you give to the poor, don’t sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be applauded by people. Truly I tell you, they have their reward. But when you give to the poor, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

    How to Fast

    Matthew 6:16-18 Whenever you fast, don’t look gloomy like the hypocrites. For they make their faces unattractive so that their fasting is obvious to people. Truly I tell you, they have their reward. But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that your fasting isn’t obvious to anyone to others but to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

    God and Possession

    Matthew 6:19-24 Don’t store up yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves don’t break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Note: Don’t store up earthly things for yourself that perish or can be stolen rather store up treasure in heaven where things are eternal and are kept safeWhether your heart is focused on heaven or on earthly things or worldly matters.

    The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eye healthy, your whole will be full of light. But if your eye is bad your whole body will be full of darkness. So, if the light within you is darkness how deep is that darkness!

    No one can serve two masters, since either he will hate one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.

    The Cure for Anxiety (Worrying)

    Matthew 6:25-27 Therefore I tell you: Don’t worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food and the body more than clothing? Consider the birds of the sky: They don’t sow or reap or gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you worth more than they? Can you add one moment to your life span by worrying? Note: Trust in your heavenly Father for your true needs and that he will provide for you.

    Stop Worrying about clothes

    Matthew 6:28-32And why do you worry about clothes? Observe how the wildflowers of the field grow: They don’t labor or spin thread. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was adorned like one of these. If that’s how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and gone tomorrow, won’t he do much more for you; you of little faith? So don’t worry about saying, What will we eat? Or What will we drink? What will we wear? For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. Note: Our heavenly Father will take care of our needs.

    Seek God’s Kingdom First

    Matthew 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you.

    Don’t Worry about tomorrow

    Matthew 6:34 Therefore, don’t worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

    Don’t Judge other people

    Matthew 7:1 Do not judge, so that you won’t be judged. For you will be judged by the same standard with which you judge others, and you will be measured by the same measure you use.

    Entering the Kingdom

    Matthew 7:13-21 Enter through the narrow gate (Jesus). For the gate is wide and the road broad is the gate that leads to destruction(religions), and there are many who go through it. How narrow is the gate and difficult the road that leads to life and few find it. Note: Jesus is the Narrow gate and religions are the gate that leads to destruction. Note 2: Yellow means salvation and green means destruction Note 3: Being a Christian (Believer in Jesus Christ) does not mean that you are in a religion but in fellowship and in a eternal relationship with the almighty God after being reconciled through Jesus Christ.

    Be on your guard against false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravaging wolves. You’ll recognize them by their fruit. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes or figs from thistles? In the same way, every good tree produces good fruit, but a bad tree produces bad fruit. A good tree can’t produce bad fruit; neither can a bad tree produce good fruit. Every tree that doesn’t produce good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. So you’ll recognize them by their fruit.

    Not everyone who says to me Lord, Lord will enter the kingdom of Heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father in heaven. On that day many will say to me, Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in your name, and do many miracles in your name? Then I will announce to them, I never knew. Depart from me, you law-breakers! Note: Do the will of the Father in Heaven to get into the Kingdom of heaven.

    The unrighteous will not inherit God’s kingdom

    1 Corinthians 6:9-11 Don’t know that the unrighteous will not inherit God’s Kingdom? Do not be deceived, No sexually immoral people, idolaters, adulterers, or males who have sex with males(homosexuals) no thieves, greedy people, drunkards, verbally abusive people, or swindlers will inherit God’s kingdom.

    Separation to God (Separating yourself from the unholy and giving your whole self to God)

    2Corinthians 7:14 Do not become partners with those who don’t believe. For what partnership is there between righteousness and lawlessness? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness? What agreement does Christ has with Belial? Or what does a believer have with an unbeliever? And what agreement does the temple of God have with idols? For we are the temple of the Living God.

    Fruit of the Holy Spirit (The good fruit)

    Galatians 5:22-23 Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Note: This is the good fruit Jesus was talking about

    The Life of the New Man

    Seek what is above

    Colossians 3:1-4 So if you have been raised with Christ, seek the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. Note: The green represents your life raised with Jesus Christ and the yellow is the instructions.

    Putting to death your earthly nature

    Colossians 3:5 Therefore, put to death what belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desire, and greed, which is idolatry. Note: The yellow is the instruction and the blue is what to put away. Note: These things are what you need to get rid of out of your life

    Colossians 3:8 But now put away all the following: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and filthy language from your mouth. Note: The yellow is the instruction and the blue is what to put away. Note: These things are what you need to get rid of out of your life

    The Christian Life

    Colossian 3:12 Therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and dearly loved, put on compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, bearing with one another and forgiving one another if anyone has a grievance against another. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you are also to forgive. Above all, put on love which is the perfect bond of unity. Note: Yellow mean instruction, green is what to put on, and the blue is the continuity of what to do. Note: These qualities and virtues are what you need for your new life in Christ.

    Call to Sanctification

    1Thessalonians 4:3 For this is God’s will, your sanctification: that you keep away from sexual immorality that each of you knows how to control his own body in holiness and honor, not with lustful passions, like the Gentiles who don’t know God.

    Christian living among outsiders

    Titus 3:1-3 Remind them to submit to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work, to slander no one, to avoid fighting and to be kind, always showing gentleness to all people. For we too were once foolish, disobedient, deceived, enslaved by various passions and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful detesting one another.

    Asking For Wisdom

    James 1:5 Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God who gives to all generously and ungrudgingly and it will be given to you.

    Do no evil

    1 Peter 3:8-9 Finally, all of you be like-minded and sympathetic, love one another, and be compassionate and humble, not paying back evil for evil or insult for insult but, on the contrary, giving a blessing, since you were called for this, so that you may inherit a blessing.

    Confession of sin

    1John 1:9-10 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned we make him a liar and his word is not in us.

    A Living Sacrifice

    Romans 12:1-2 Therefore, brothers and sisters, in view of the mercies of God, I urge you to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God; this is your true worship. Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewal of your minds, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.

    Christian Ethics (morals)

    Romans 12:9-21

    Let love be without hypocrisy. Detest evil; cling to what is good. Love one another deeply as brothers and sisters. Outdo one another in showing honor. Do not lack diligence in zeal; be fervent in the Spirit; serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope; patient in affliction; persistent in prayer. Share with the saints (believers) in their needs; pursue hospitality.

    Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those whose who rejoice; weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud; instead associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own estimation. Do not repay evil for evil. Give careful thought to do what is honorable in everyone’s eyes. Note: The yellow is the instruction of what to do the blue represents peace with others and the green means special things you ought to do.

    If possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Friends, do not avenge yourselves; instead, leave room for God’s wrath, because it is written, Vengeance belongs to me: I will repay, says the Lord. But if your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him something to drink. For in so doing you will be heaping fiery coals on his head. Do not be conquered by evil but conquer evil with good. Note: Same as above except we should live at people with everyone and let God take care of the Vengeance on others who do you wrongPlus we should treat our enemies with Kindness and goodness.

    Love, our primary duty

    Romans 13:8-10 Do not owe anything, except to love one another, for the one who loves one another has fulfilled the law. The commandments, do not commit adultery; do not murder; do not steal; do not covet; and any other commandment, are summed up by this commandment: Love your neighbor as yourself. Love does no wrong to a neighbor. Therefore, is the fulfillment to the law.

    Put on Christ

    Romans 13:11-14 Besides this, since you know the time, it is already the hour for you to wake up from sleep, because now our salvation, is nearer than we first believed. The night is nearly over, and the day is near, so let us discard the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us walk with decency, as in the day time not in carousing and drunkenness; not in sexual impurity and promiscuity; not in quarreling and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and don’t make plans to gratify the desires of the flesh.

    From slaves of Sin to Slaves of God

    Romans 6:15-23 What then? Should we sin because we are not under the law but under grace? Absolutely not! Don’t you know that if you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of that one you obey either of sin that leads to death or of obedience leading to righteousness? But thank God that although you used to be slaves of sin, you obeyed from the heart that pattern of teaching to which you were handed over, and having been handed over, and having been set free from sin, you became enslaved to righteousness.

    I am using a human analogy because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you offered the parts of yourselves as slaves to impurity, and to greater and greater lawlessness, so now offer them as slaves to righteousness, which results in sanctification. For when you were slaves to sin, you were free with regard to righteousness. So what fruit was produced then from the things you are now ashamed of?

    The outcome of those things is death. But now, since you have been set free from sin and have become enslaved by God, you have your fruit, which results in sanctification and the outcome is eternal life! For the wages of sin death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

    Warning of deliberating sinning

    Hebrews 10:26-29

    For if we deliberately go on sinning after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a terrifying expectation of judgement and the fury of fire about to consume the adversaries. Anyone who disregarded the law of Moses died without mercy, based on the testimony of two or three witnesses. How much worse punishment do you think one will deserve who has trampled on the Son of God, who has regarded as profane the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified and who insulted the spirit of grace?

    Fatherly Discipline (When God the Father disciplines you)

    Hebrews 12:3-13 For consider him who endured such hostility from sinners against himself, so that won’t grow weary and give up. In struggling against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. And you have forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons:

    My son, do not take the Lord’s discipline lightly or lose heart when you are reproved for the Lord disciplines the one he loves and punishes every son he receives.

    Endure suffering as discipline: God is dealing with you as sons. For what son is there that a father does not discipline? But if you are without discipline which all receive then you are illegitimate children and not son. Furthermore, we had human fathers discipline us, and we respected them. Shouldn’t we even submit to the Father of spirits and live?

    For they disciplined us for a short time based on what seemed good them, but he does it for our benefit, so that we can share in his holiness. No discipline seems enjoyable at the time, but painful. Later on, however it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

    Therefore, strengthen your tired hands and weakened knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated but healed instead. Note: God disciplines us for our good even though it has lasting consequences.

    James 1:19 My dear brothers and sisters, understand this: Everyone should quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger.

    The hope of the resurrection

    1Thessalonian 4:13 And now dear brothers and sisters, we want you to know what will happen to the believers who have died so you will not grieve like people who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and was raised to life again, we also believe that when Jesus returns, God will bring back with him believers who have died.

    We tell you this directly from the Lord: We who are still living when the Lord returns will not meet him ahead of those who have died. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, the believers who have died will rise from their graves. Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Then we will be with the Lord forever. So encourage each other with these words. Note: There’s no need to grieve over the Christian dead

    Paul’s final Advice in 1Thessalonians

    1Thessalonians 5:12-19 Dear brothers and sisters, honor those who are your leaders in the Lord’s work. They work hard among you and give you spiritual guidance. Show them great respect and whole hearted love because of their work. And live peacefully with each other.

    Brother and sisters, we urge you to warn those who are lazy. Encourage those who are timid. Take tender care of those who are weak. Be patient with everyone.

    See that no one pays back evil for evil but always try to do good to each other and to all people. Be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.

    Do not stifle the Holy Spirit. Do not scoff at prophecies, but test everything that is said. Hold on to what is good. Stay away from every kind of evil.

    Dangers of the Last Days

    2 Timothy 3:1-9 You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times. For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control.

    They will be cruel and hate what is good. They will betray their friends, be reckless be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. They will act religious, but they will reject the power that would make them godly. Stay away from people like that.

    They are the kind who work their way into people’s homes and win the confidence of vulnerable women who are burdened with guilt of sin and controlled by various desires. (Such women are forever following new teachings, but they are never able to understand the truth.) Theses teachers oppose the truth just as jannes and Jambres opposed Moses.

    They have depraved minds and a counterfeit faith. But they won’t get away with this for long. Someday, everyone will recognize what fools they are, just as with Jannes and Jambres

    Respecting People in Authority

    1Peter 2:13-16 For the Lord’s sake, submit to all human authority whether the king as head of state, or the officials he has appointed. For the king has sent them to punish those who do wrong and to honor those who do right.

    It is God’s will that your honorable lives should silence those ignorant people who make foolish accusations against you. For you are free, yet you are God’s slaves so don’t use your freedom as an excuse to do evil. Respect everyone, and love the family of believers. Fear God respect the King. Note: Respect every human authority, whether your boss at work, your parents, or your teacher and anywhere else where you have to obey the rules.

    Don’t show favoritism 

    James 2:1 My brothers and sisters, believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ must not show favoritism

    Love Jesus More to be worthy of him

    Matthew 10:37 Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

    The one who truly loves Jesus 

    John 14:23 Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them

    The one who truly loves God

    1John 4:20-21 Whoever claims to love God yet hates his brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, who they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.

    All Christians

    1Peter3:8-13 Finally, all of you should be of one mind. Sympathize with each other. Love each other as brothers and sisters. Be tenderhearted, and keep a humble attitude. Don’t repay evil for evil. Don’t retaliate with insults when people insult you. Instead, pay them back with a blessing. That is what God called you to do, and he will grant you a blessing.

    “If you want to enjoy life and see many happy days, keep your tongue from speaking evil and your lips from telling lies. Turn away from evil and do good. Search for peace, and work to maintain it. The eyes of the LORD watch over those who do right, and his ears are open to their prayers. But the LORD turns his face against those who do evil”.

    The Armor of God

    Ephesians 6:10-17 A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on all God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. For we are not fighting against flesh and blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark work world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.

    Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness. For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared.

    In addition to all these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

    God’s law reveals sin

    Romans 7:7-25 Well then, am I suggesting that the law of God is sinful? Of course not! In fact, it was the law that showed me my sin. I would never had known that coveting is wrong if the law had not said, “You must not covet.” But sin used this command to arouse all kinds of covetous desires within me!

    If there were no law, sin would not have that power. At one time I lived without understanding the law. But when I learned the command not to covet, for instance, the power of sin came to life, and I died. So I discovered that the law’s commands, which were supposed to bring life, brought spiritual death instead.

    Sin took advantage of those commands and deceived me; it used the commands to kill me. But still, the law itself is holy, and its commands are holy and right and good. But how can that be? Did the law, which is good, cause my death? Of course not! Sin used what was good to bring about my condemnation to death. So, we can see how terrible sin really is. It uses God’s good commands for its own evil purposes. Notes:

    Drawing close to God

    James 4:7-8 So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come close to God and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world.

    Respect for Authority

    Romans 13:1-7 Everyone must submit to the governing Authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have placed there by God. So anyone who rebels against authority is rebelling against what God has instituted and they will be punished. For authorities do not strike fear into people who are doing right, but in those who are doing wrong.

    Would you like to live without fear of the authorities? Do what is right, and they will honor you. The authorities are God’s servants, sent for your good. But if you are doing wrong, of course you should be afraid, for they have the power to punish you. They are God’s servants, sent for the very purpose of punishing those who do what is wrong. So you must submit to them, not only to avoid punishment, but also to keep a clear conscience.

    Pay taxes, too, for these same reasons. For government workers need to be paid. They are serving God in what they do. Give to everyone what you owe them: Pay taxes and government fees to those who collect them, and give respect and honor to those in authority. Note: You have to obey the government and authorities unless it goes against what God says.

    Loving Jesus and the promise of the Holy Spirit

    John 14:15-21If you love me, obey my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate, who will never leave. He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. The world cannot receive him, because it isn’t looking for him and doesn’t recognize him. But you know him, because he lives with you now and later will be in you. No, I will not abandon you as orphans I will come to you.

    Soon the world will no longer see me, but you will see me. Since I live, you also will live. When I am raised to life again, you will know that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. Those who accept my commandments and obey them are the ones who love me. And because they love me, my Father will love them. And I will love them and reveal myself to each of them. Note: The commandments are mentioned in the beginning of this book the Greatest commands and Jesus new commandment love one another

    Avoiding Sexual Sin

    1Corinthians 6:12-20

    You say, “I am allowed to do anything” but not everything is good for you. And even though “I am allowed to do anything,” I must not become a slave to anything. You say, “Food was made for the stomach, and the stomach was made for food.” (This is true, though someday God will do away with both of them.)

    But you can’t say that our bodies were made for sexual immorality. They were made for the Lord, and the Lord cares about our bodies. And God will raise us from the dead by his power, just as he raised our Lord from the dead.

    Don’t you realize that your bodies are actually part of Christ? Should a man take his body, which is part of Christ, and join it to a prostitute? Never! And don’t you realize that if a man joins himself to a prostitute, he becomes one body with her? For the Scripture say, “The two are united into one.” But the person who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with him.

    Run from sexual sin! No other sin so clearly affects the body as this one does. For sexual immorality is a against your own body. Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body. Note: Stay away from sexual sin it not only messes with the mind it also messes up the soul.

    Instructions for Households

    Colossians 3:18-20 Wives submit to your husbands, as is fitting for those who belong to the Lord. Husbands, love your wives and never treat them harshly. Children, always obey parents, for this pleases the Lord. Note: These instructions for a Christian family Love Submitting and obedience

    Encouragement for Prayer

    Colossians 4:2&5-6 Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert and a thankful heart. Live wisely among those who are not believers, and make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be gracious and attractive so that you will have the right response for everyone. Note: Devoting yourself to prayer and living wisely with speech that is appropriate pleases the Lord.

    Living a life that pleases God

    1Thessalonians 4:11 Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands, just as we instructed you before. Then people who are not believers will respect the way you live, and you will not need to depend on others. Note: This should be a way of Christian living

    Do what is good

    Titus 3:1-2 Remind the believers to submit to the government and its officers. They should be obedient, always ready to do what is good. They must not slander anyone and must avoid quarreling. Instead, they should be gentle and show true humility to everyone. Note: Instructions for doing good

    Advice for Elders and Young Men

    1Peter 1-11 And now, a word to you who are elders in the churches. I, too am an elder and a witness to the sufferings of Christ. And I too will share in his glory when he was revealed to the whole world. As a fellow elder, I appeal to you: Care for the flock that God entrusted to you. Watch over it willingly, not grudgingly not for what you will get out of it, but because you are eager to serve God.

    Don’t lord it over the people assigned to your care, but lead them by your own good example. And when the Great Shepherd appears, you will receive a crown of never-ending glory and honor. In the same way, you who are younger must accept the authority of elders. And all of you, dress yourselves in humility as you relate to one another, for:

    “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor. Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you. Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith.

    Remember that your family of believers all over the world is going through the same kind of suffering you are. In his kindness God called you to share in the eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus. So after you have suffered for a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, ad he will place you on a firm foundation. All power to him forever! Amen.

    Everything needed for a godly life

    2Peter 3-9 By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence. And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share in his divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires

    In view of all this, make every effort to respond to God’s promises. Supplement your faith with a generous provision of moral excellence, and moral excellence with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with patient endurance, and patient endurance with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love for everyone.

    The more you grow like this, the more productive and useful you will be in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But those who fail to develop in this way are shortsighted or blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their old sins.

    What to know to avoid the Lake of Fire

    Revelation 21:8 But cowards, unbelievers, the corrupt, murderers, the immoral, those who practice witchcraft, idol worshipers, and all liars their fate is in the fiery lake of burning Sulphur. This is second death.

  • All Parables of Jesus

    Parable of the Good Samaritan: “A Jewish man was traveling from Jerusalem down to Jericho, and he was attacked by bandits. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him up, and left him half dead beside the road. By chance a priest came along. But when he saw the man lying there, he passed him by. A temple assistant (Levite) walked over and looked at him lying there, but he also passed by on the other side.

    Then a despised Samaritan came along, and when he saw the man, he felt compassion for him. Going over to him, the Samaritan soothed his wounds with olive oil and wine and bandaged them. Then he put the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn, where he took care of him. The next day he handed the inn keeper two silver coins, telling him “Take care of this man. If his bill runs higher than this, I’ll pay you the next time I’m here”. (Now which of these men three would you say was a neighbor to the man who was attacked by bandits? Jesus asked. The man replied, “The one who showed him mercy.” Then Jesus said, “Yes, now go and do the same”) Bible verse: Luke 10: 30-37

    Parable of the Rich Fool: “A rich man had a fertile farm that produced fine crops. He said to himself “What should I do? I don’t have room for all my crops”. Then he said, “I know! I’ll tear down my barns and build bigger ones. Then I’ll have room enough to store all my wheat and other goods. And I’ll sit back and say to myself, “My friend, you have enough stored away for years to come. Now take it easy! Eat, drink, and be merry!” But God said to him, You fool! You will die this very night. Then who will get everything you worked for?” (Jesus says “Yes a person is a fool to store up earthly wealth but not have a rich relationship with God”) Bible Verse: Luke 12:13-21

    Parable of the barren Fig Tree: “A man planted a fig tree in his garden and came again and again to see if there was any fruit on it, but he was always disappointed. Finally, he said to his gardener, ‘I’ve waited three years and there hasn’t been a single fig! Cut it down. It’s just taking up space in the garden. The gardener answered, ‘Sir, give it one more chance. Leave it another year, and I’ll give it special attention and plenty of fertilizer. If we get figs next year, fine. If not, then you can cut it down”. Bible verse: Luke 13: 6-9

    Parable of the Mustard Seed: “What is the Kingdom of God like? How can I illustrate it? It is like a tiny mustard seed that a man planted in a garden; it grows and becomes a tree, and the birds make nests in its branches.” Bible Verse: Luke 13:18-19 Matthew 13:31-32

    Parable of the Yeast: He also asked, “What else is the Kingdom of God like? It is like the yeast a woman used in making bread. Even though she put only a little yeast in three measures of flour, it permeated every part of the dough.” Bible Verse: Luke 13:20-21 Matthew 13:33

    Parable of the Great Feast: Hearing this, a man sitting at the table with Jesus exclaimed, “What a

    blessing it will be to attend a banquet in the Kingdom of God!”A man prepared a great feast and sent out many invitations. When the banquet was ready, he sent his servant to tell the guests, ‘Come, the banquet is ready.’ But they all began making excuses. One said ‘I just bought a field and must inspect it. Please excuse me. Another said, I have just bought five pairs of oxen, and I want to try them out. Please excuse me. Another said, ‘I just got married, so I can’t come.

    The servant returned and told his master what they had said. His master was furious and said, ‘Go quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and invite the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame. After the servant had done this, he reported, ‘There is still room for more. So his master said, ‘Go out into the country lanes and behind the hedges and urge anyone you find to come, so that the house will be full. For none of these I first invited will get even the smallest taste of my banquet.” Bible Verse: Luke 14:15-24 Matthew 22: 1-14

    Parable of the Lost Sheep: “If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them gets lost, what will he do? Won’t he leave the ninety-nine others in the wilderness and go to search for the one that is lost until he finds it? And when he has found it, he will joyfully carry it home on his shoulders. When he arrives, he will call together his friends and neighbors, saying, “Rejoice with me because I have found my lost sheep. In the same way, there is more joy in heaven over one lost sinner who repents and returns to God Than over the ninety-nine others who are righteous and haven’t strayed away! Bible Verse: Luke 15:1-7 Matthew 18:12-12

    Parable of the Lost Coin: “Or suppose the woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Won’t she light a lamp and sweep the entire house and search carefully until she finds it? And when she finds it, she will call in her friends and neighbors and say, Rejoice with me because I have found my lost coin. In the same way, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels when even one sinner repents.” Bible Verse: Luke 15:7-10

    Parable of the Lost Son: “A man had two sons. The younger son told his father, I want my share of your estate now before you die. So, his father agreed to divide his wealth between his sons. A few days later this younger son packed all his belongings and moved to a distant land, and there he wasted all his money in wild living. About the time his money ran, a great famine swept over the land and he began to starve. He persuaded a local farmer to hire him, and the man sent him into his fields to feed the pigs.

    The young man became so hungry that even the pods he was feeding the pigs looked good to him. But no one gave him anything. When he finally came to his senses, he said to himself, At home even the hired servants have food enough to spare, and here I am dying of hunger! I will go home to my father and say, “Father, I have sinned against both heaven and you, and I am no longer worthy of being called your son. Please take me on as a hired servant.”

    So he returned home to his father. And while he was still a long way off, his father saw him coming. Filled with love and compassion, he ran to his son, embraced him, and kissed him. His son said to him, Father, I have sinned against both heaven and you, and I am no longer worthy of being called your son. Please take me on as a hired servant.”

    But his father said to the servants, Quick! Bring the finest robe in the house and put it on him. Get a ring for his finger and sandals for his feet. And kill the calf we have been fattening. We must be celebrate with a feast, for this son of mine was dead and has now returned to life. He was lost, but now he is found. So the party began.

    “Meanwhile, the older son was in the fields working. When he returned home, he heard music and dancing in the house, and he asked one of the servants what was going on. Your brother is back, he was told, and your father has killed the fattened calf. We are celebrating because of his safe return. The older brother was angry and wouldn’t go in. His father came out and begged him, but he replied, “All these years I’ve slaved for you and never once refused to do a single thing you told me to.

    And in all that time you never gave me even one young got for a feast with my friends. Yet when this son of yours comes back after squandering your money on prostitutes, you celebrate by killing the fattened calf! His father said to him, Look, dear son you have always stayed by me, and everything I have is yours. We had to celebrate this happy day. For your brother was dead and has come back to life! He was lost, but now is found! Bible Verse: Luke 15: 11-32

    Parable of the Shrewd Manager: “There was a certain rich man who had a manager handling his affairs. One day a report came that the manager was wasting his employer’s money. So the employer called him in and said, What’s this I hear about you? Get your report in order because you are going to be fired. The manager thought to himself, Now what? My boss has fired me. I don’t have the strength to dig ditches, and I’m too proud to beg. Ah, I know how to ensure that I’ll have plenty of friends who will give me a home when I am fired.

    “So he invited each person who owed money to his employer to come and discuss the situation. He asked the first one, How much do you owe him? The man replied, I owe him 800 gallons of olive oil. So the manager told him, Take the bill and quickly change it to 400 gallons. And how much do you owe my employer? He asked the next man. I owe him 1000 bushels of wheat, was the reply. Here the manager said, take the bill and change it to 800 bushels.

    The rich man had to admire the dishonest rascal for being so shrewd”. (And it is true that the children of this world are more shrewd in dealing with the world around them than are the children of the light. Here’s the lesson: Use your worldly resources to benefit others and make friends. Then, when your possessions are gone, they will welcome you to an eternal home. If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones. But if you are dishonest in little things, you won’t be honest with greater responsibilities. And if you are untrustworthy about worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches in heaven? And if you are not faithful with other people’s things, why should you be trusted with things of your own? No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.) Bible verse: Luke 16:1-13

    Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus: There was a certain rich man who was splendidly clothed in purple and fine linen and who lived each day in luxury. At his gate lay a poor man named Lazarus who was covered in sores. As Lazarus lay there longing for scraps from the rich man’s table, the dogs would come and lick his open sores.

    Finally, the poor man died and was carried by the angels to sit beside Abraham at the heavenly banquet. The rich man also died and was buried, and he went to the place of the dead. There in torment, he saw Abraham in the far distance with Lazarus at his side. The rich man shouted, Father Abraham, have some pity! Send Lazarus over here to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue. I am in anguish in these flames.

    But Abraham told him, Son remember that during your lifetime you had everything you wanted, and Lazarus had nothing. So now he is here being comforted, and you are in anguish. And besides, there is a great chasm separating us. No one can cross over to us from there. Then the rich man said, Please, Father, Abraham, at least send him to my father’s home. For I have five brothers, and I want him to warn them so they don’t end up in this torment.

    But Abraham said, Moses and the prophets have warned them. Your brothers can read what they wrote. The rich man replied, No Father Abraham! But if someone is sent to them from the dead, then they will repent of their sins and turn to God. But Abraham said, If they won’t listen to Moses and the prophets, they won’t be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead. Bible verse: Luke 16:19-31

    Parable of the Persistent Widow: There was a judge in a certain city, “he said, who neither feared God nor cared about people. A widow of that city came to him repeatedly, saying, Give me justice in this dispute with my enemy. The judge ignored her for a while, but finally he said to himself, I don’t fear God or care about people, but this woman is driving me crazy. I’m going to see that she gets justice, because she is wearing me out with her constant requests!” (Then the Lord said, “Learn a lesson from this unjust judge. Even he rendered a just decision in the end. So, don’t you think God will surely give justice to his chosen people who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will grant justice to them quickly! But when the Son of Man returns, how many will he find on the earth who have faith?) Bible Verse: Luke 18:1-8

    Parable of the Evil Farmers: “A man planted a vineyard, leased it to tenant farmers, and moved to another country to live for several years. At the time of the grape harvest, he sent one of his servants to collect his share of the crop. But the farmers attacked the servant, beat him up, and sent him back empty handed. So the owner sent another servant, but they also insulted him, beat him up, and sent him away empty handed.

    A third man was sent, and they wounded him and chased him away. What will I do? The owner asked himself. ‘I know! I’ll send my cherished son. Surely they will respect him. “But when the farmers saw his son, they said to each other, ‘Here comes the heir to this estate. Let’s kill him and get the estate for ourselves! So, they dragged him out of the vineyard and murdered him.” Bible Verse: Luke 20:9-15 Matthew 21:33-39

    Parable of the Ten Servants: A nobleman was called away to a distant empire to be crowned king and then return. Before he left, he called together ten of his servants and divided among them ten pounds of silver, saying ‘Invest this for me while I am gone. But his people hated him and sent a delegation after him to say, ‘We do not want him to be our king. After he was crowned king, he returned and called in his servants to whom he had give the money. He wanted to find out what their profits were.

    The first servant reported, Master, I invested your money and made ten times the original amount!’ Well done! The king exclaimed. You are a good servant. You have been faithful with the little I entrusted to you, so you will be governor of ten cities as your reward.’ The next servant reported, Master, I invested your money and made five times the original amount.’ Well done! The king said. You will be governor over five cities.

    “But the third servant brought back only the original amount of money and said, Master, I hid your money and kept it safe. I was afraid because you are a hard man to deal with, taking what isn’t yours and harvesting crops you didn’t plant.’ “You wicked servant! The king roared. Your own words condemn you. If you knew that I’m a hard man who takes what isn’t mine and harvest crops didn’t plant, why didn’t you deposit my money in the bank? At least I could have gotten some interest on it.

    Then, turning to the others standing nearby, the king ordered, ‘Take the money from this servant, and give it to the one who has ten pounds.’ But, master, they said, ‘he already has ten pounds! Yes, the king replied, and to those who use well what they are given, even more will be given. But from those who do nothing, even what little they have will be taken away. And as for these enemies of mine who didn’t want me to be their king -bring them in and execute them right here in front of me. Bible Verse: Luke 19:11-27

    Parable of the Farmer Scattering Seed: A farmer went out to plant some seeds. As he scattered them across his field, some seeds fell on a footpath, and the birds came and ate them. Other seeds fell on shallow soil with underlying rock. The seeds sprouted quickly because the soil was shallow. But the plants soon wilted under the hot sun, and since they didn’t have deep roots, they died. Other seeds fell among thorns that grew up and choked out the other tender plants. Still other seeds fell on fertile soil, and they produced a crop that was thirty, sixty, and even a hundred times as much as had been planted!

    (Anyone with ears to hear to hear should listen and understand.) Bible Verse: Matthew 13:1-9

    Parable of the Wheat and the Weeds: “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a farmer who planted good seed in his field. But that night as the workers slept, his enemy came and planted weeds among the wheat, then slipped away. When the crops began to grow and produce grain, the weeds also grew. “The farmer’s workers went to him and said, ‘Sir, the field where you planted that good seed is full of weeds! Where did they come from?”

    “An enemy has done this! The farmer exclaimed. Should we pull out the weeds? They asked. No, he replied, you’ll uproot the wheat if you do. Let both grow together until the harvest. Then I will the harvesters to sort out the weeds, tie them into bundles and burn them, and to put the wheat in the barn.”

    Bible Verse: Matthew 13:24-30

    Parables of the Hidden Treasure and the Pearl: The Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure that a man discovered hidden in a field. In his excitement, he hid it again and sold everything he owned to get enough money to buy the field. Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a merchant on the lookout for choice pearls. When he discovered a pearl of great value, he sold everything he owned and bought it! Bible Verse: Matthew 13: 44-46

    Parable of the Fishing Net: Again, the kingdom of Heaven is like a fishing net that was thrown into the water and caught fish of every kind. When the net was full, they dragged it up onto a shore, sat down, and sorted the good fish into crates but threw the bad ones away. (That is the way it will be at the end of the world. The angels will come and separate the wicked and the righteous, throwing the wicked into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.) Bible Verse: Matthew 13:47-50

    Parable of the Unforgiving Debtor: Therefore, the Kingdom of Heaven can be compared to a king who decided to bring his accounts up to date with servants who had borrowed money from him. In the process, one of his debtors was brought in who owed him millions of dollars. He couldn’t pay, so his master ordered that he be sold along with his wife, his children, and everything he owned to pay the debt.

    But the man fell down before his master and begged him, Please, be patient with me, and I will pay it all. Then his master filled with pity for him, and released him and forgave his debt. But when the man left the king, he went to his fellow servant who owed him a few thousand dollars. He grabbed him by the throat and demanded instant payment.

    His fellow servant fell down before him and begged him for a little more time. Be patient with me and I will pay it, he pleaded. But his creditor wouldn’t wait. He had the man arrested and put in prison until the debt could be paid in full.

    When some of the other servants saw this, they were very upset. They went to the king and told him everything that had happened. Then the king called in the man he had forgiven and said, You evil servant! I forgave you that tremendous debt because you pleaded with me. Shouldn’t you have mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had mercy on you? Then the angry king sent the man to prison to be tortured until he paid his entire debt. (That’s what my heavenly Father will do to you if you refuse to forgive your brothers and sisters from your heart) Bible Verse: Matthew 18:21-35

    Parable of the Vineyard Workers: For the Kingdom of Heaven is like the land owner who went out early one morning to hire workers for his vineyard. He agreed to pay the normal daily wage and sent them out to work. At nine o clock in the morning he was passing through the marketplace and saw some people standing around doing nothing. So he hired them, telling them he would pay them whatever was right at the end of the day. So they went to work in the vineyard.

    At noon and again at three o clock he did the same thing. At five o clock that afternoon he was in town again and saw some more people standing around. He asked them, Why haven’t you been working today? “They replied, Because no one hired us.’ The landowner told them, “Then go out and join the others in my vineyard.’

    That evening he told the foreman to call the workers in and pay them, beginning with the last workers first. When those hired at five o clock were paid, each received a full day’s wage. When those hired first came to get their pay, they assumed they would receive more. But they too were paid a day’s wage. When they received their pay, they protested to the owner. Those people worked only one hour, and yet you paid them just as much as you paid us who worked all day in the scorching heat.

    He answered one of them. Friend, I haven’t been unfair! Didn’t you agree to work all day for the usual wage? Take your money and go. I wanted to pay this last worker the same as you. Is it against the law for me to do what I want with my money? Should you be jealous because I am kind to others? (So those who are last now will be first then, and those who are first will be last.) Bible Verse: Matthew 20: 1-16

    Parable of the Ten Bridesmaids: “Then the Kingdom of Heaven will be like ten bridesmaids who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. The five who were foolish didn’t take enough olive oil for their lamps, but the other five were wise enough to take along extra oil. When the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and fell asleep. At midnight they were roused by the shout, Look, the bridegroom is coming! Come out and meet him!

    All the bridesmaids got up and prepared their lamps. Then the five foolish ones asked the others, Please give us some of your oil because our lamps are going out. But the others replied, We don’t have enough for all of us. Go to a shop and buy some for yourselves. But while they were gone to buy oil, the bridegroom came. Then those who were ready went with him to the marriage feast, and thedoor was locked.

    Later, when the other five bridesmaids returned, they stood outside, calling, Lord! Lord! Open the door for us! But he called back, Believe me, I don’t know you! (So, you too, must keep watch! For you do not know the day or hour of my return.) Bible Verse: Matthew 25:1-13

    Parable of the Three Servants: Again, the Kingdom of Heaven can be illustrated by the story of a man going on a long trip. He called together his servants and entrusted his money to them while he was gone. He gave five bags of silver to one, two bags of silver to another, and one bag of silver to the last dividing it in proportion to their abilities. He then left on his trip.

    The servant who received the five bags of silver began to invest the money and earned five more. The servant with two bags of silver also went to work and earned two more. But the servants who received the one bag of silver dug a hole in the ground and hid their master’s money. After a long time, their master returned from his trip and called them to give an account of how they used his money.

    The servant to whom he had entrusted the five bags of silver came forward with five more and said, Master, you gave me five bags of silver to invest, and I have earned five more. The master was full of praise. Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Let’s celebrate together!

    The servant who had received the two bags of silver came forward and said, Master, you gave me two bags of silver to invest, and I have earned two more. The master said, Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Let celebrate together!

    Then the servant with one bag of silver came and said, Master, I knew you were a harsh man, harvesting crops you didn’t plant and gathering crops you didn’t cultivate. I was afraid I would lose your money, so I hid it in the earth. Look, here is your money back. But the master replied, You wicked and lazy servant! If you knew I harvested crops I didn’t plant and gathered crops I didn’t cultivate, why didn’t you deposit my money in the bank? At least I could have gotten some interest on it. Then he ordered, Take the money from this servant, and give it to the one who has ten bags of silver.

    To those who use well what they are given, even more will be given, and they will have an abundance. But from those who do nothing, even what little they have will be taken away. Now throw this useless servant into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Bible verse: Matthew 25:14-31

  • “You are not to come near any close relative for sexual intercourse, I am the LORD. You are not to violate the intimacy that belongs to your father and mother. She is your mother; you must not have sexual intercourse with her. You are not to have sexual intercourse with your father’s wife; she is your father’s family. You are not to have sexual intercourse with your sister either your father’s daughter or your mother’s, whether born at home or born elsewhere.”

You are not to have sexual intercourse with your mother’s sister; for she is your mother’s close relative.”

    “You are not to violate the intimacy that belongs to your father’s brother by approaching his wife to have sexual intercourse; she is your aunt. You are not to have sexual intercourse with your daughter-in-law. She is your son’s wife; you are not to have sex with her. You are not to have sexual intercourse with your brother’s wife; she is your brother’s family. You are not to have sexual intercourse with a woman and her daughter.”

    “You are not to marry her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter and have sex with her. They are her close relatives; it is depraved. You are not to marry a woman as a rival to her sister and have sexual intercourse during her sister’s lifetime. You are not to approach a woman during her menstrual impurity to have sexual intercourse with her. You are not to have sexual intercourse with your neighbor’s wife, defiling yourself with her.”

    “You are not to sacrifice yourself any of your children in the fire to Molech. Do not profane the name of your God; I am the Lord. You are not to sleep with a man as with a woman; it is detestable. You are not to have sexual intercourse with any animal, defiling yourself with it; a woman is not to present herself to an animal to mate with it, it is perversion.”

    Note: Child Sacrifice in our present time is abortion. And this also applies to God’s family as well (Children of God).

    Doing God’s work (God’s command): Believe in God the Father’s son Jesus Christ the Son of God 1John 3:23

    Living worthy of your call:4:2-3

    1. Live with “Humility, gentleness, and patience bearing with one another in love making every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.” Ephesians 4:2-3

    Living as your new self:

    2. “And be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another as God also forgave you in Christ” Ephesians 4:32 Colossians 3:12-17

    Light vs Darkness

    1. “Therefore be imitators of God, as dearly loved children, and walk in love, as Christ also loved us and gave himself for us, a sacrificial and fragrant offering to God” Ephesians 5:1-2
    2. Let no one deceive you with empty arguments, for God’s wrath is coming on the disobedient because of these things. Therefore, do not become their partners.” Ephesians 5:6-7 (refer back to Ephesians 5:5)
    3. “For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light for the fruit of light consists of all goodness, righteousness, and truth testing what is pleasing to the Lord”. Ephesians 5:8-10 (Refer to Matthew 5:14-16, John 12:36) Note-Jesus is the light
    4. “Don’t participate in the fruitless works of darkness, but instead expose them. For it is shameful to even mention what is done by them in secret. Everything exposed by the light is made visible, for what makes everything visible is light. Therefore it is said: Get up, sleeper, and rise up from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.” Ephesians 5:11-14 (Refer to Luke 8:17)
    1. Consistency in the Christian Life
    2. “Pay careful attention, then, to how you live not as unwise people but as wise making the most of the time, because the days are evil. So don’t be foolish but understand what the Lord’s will is.” Ephesians 5:15-17 (refer to Matthew 7:21, Proverbs, James 1:5)

    Christian Marriage between Man and Woman

    1. 2. “Wives submit to your husbands as to the Lord, because the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church. He is the Savior of the body. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives are to submit their husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself for her to make her holy cleansing her with the washing of water by the word. In the same way, husbands are to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. To sum up, each one of you is to love his wife as himself, and the wife is to respect her husband. Ephesians 5:22-26, 28,33 (Refer to Genesis 2:18. Matthew 19:4-6, Colossians 18-19,Mark 10-6-9, 1 Corinthians 7:1-40, Luke 16:18, 1Peter 3:7)

    Love your neighbor as yourself- Matthew 22:34-40 Mark 12:28-34 Luke 10:25-28’

    Note: These two commandments completes the 10 commandments and the law. Both of the greatest commandments sums up the 10 commandments.

    Jesus’s New commandment:

    Love one another-John 13:34-35, 1 John 4:21]

    Note: Jesus commandment commands us Christians to love each other to show that we are his true disciples.

    Living at Peace with others

    “Let love be without hypocrisy. Detest (hate) what is evil cling to what is good. Love one another deeply as brothers and sisters. Outdo one another in showing honor. Do not lack diligence in zeal; be fervent in the Spirit; serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope; be patient in affliction; be persistent in prayer. Share with the saints in their needs; pursue hospitality. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud; instead associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own estimation. Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Give careful thought to do what is honorable in everyone’s eyes.”

    “If possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Friends do not avenge yourselves; instead leave room for God’s wrath, because it is written, Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord. But if your enemy is hungry feed him. If he is thirsty, give him something to drink. For in doing so you will be heaping fiery coals on his head. Do not be conquered by evil, but conquer evil with good. Romans 12:9-21 (Refer to Matthew 5:43-48; Matthew 5:38-41 Luke 6:27-36, 1Peter 3:9)
