Now then we are ambassadors for Christ…2 Corinthians 5:20

If we are ambassadors for Christ, then we need to represent Him well.  This week focus on being the best witness for Him as possible.  Of course we are to live as Jesus wants us to every day, but start off by taking it one week at a time or even one day… if you let Jesus run your life you will be full of joy.  If you hit hard times, remember that Jesus is your Lord and “behold, the Lord is my helper,” (psalm 54:4).   Take a look at How do I get to heaven?

Without wood a fire goes out; without gossip a quarrel dies down…Proverbs 26:20

I firmly believe this verse.  I think that gossip can cause plenty of trouble and that gossip can make a quarrel worse.  Think about it.  If you are mad at person A, and person B comes and tells you something about person A, unless it is an apology, it usually stirs up more anger.   Take a look at How do I get to heaven?

Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature… Mark 16:15

Jesus tells us in this verse to spread the Good News about Jesus dieing on the cross and raising from the dead so our sins can be forgiven to everyone.  He wants you, and me to live in heaven with Him.  Take a look at How do I get to heaven?

If God be with us, who can be against us?… Romans 8:31

Our God is an awesome God.  He is a mighty powerful and majestic God.  He sent Jesus, His only begotten Son, to die on the cross so our sins can be forgiven.  There is no problem He can not solve.  Jesus conquered death, hell and the grave.  He conquered sin.  Jesus is Lord of all.  He is victorious.  If Jesus is on our side, who can be against us?  We are protected.  Make sure that God is with you and on your side.

Without me ye can do nothing… John 15:5

These are the words of Jesus.  This portion of the verse is completely straight forward and blunt.  Take this verse to heart.  Keep Jesus with you always.  Keep Him first in your lives.  Bring Jesus Christ into everything that you do.  Always know that God loves you.  May the Lord be with each of you who read this post.  Have a blessed week.

The Lord is my light and my salvation-whom shall I fear?… Psalm 27:1

Considering the Jesus is my light and my salvation, in truth there is nothing to fear.  Jesus is our provider, our protector.  I know that I am going to heaven because Jesus died on the cross and rose on the third day;  He is my salvation so what do I need to fear?  Since the Lord is our light, let Him guide you in every part of your life.

As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him… Psalm 103:13

Since we have been discussing forgiveness, this verse about compassion fits our topics.  The Lord is our Father in heaven and he is merciful and will have compassion on you.

Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in threat: Because straight is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth to life, and few there be that find it… Matthew 7:13-14

Jesus is telling us here that we need to find the narrow path.  There are many roads that we can take, but there is one way to life (the narrow way) and that is through Jesus Christ.  We must believe, confess, and make Jesus our Lord and Savior, make Him the Lord of our lives, and repent of our sins.  All other roads lead to destruction.

I am the Resurrection and the Life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?… John 11:25-26

Jesus is asking each and every one of us this question.  Not only must your answer be yes to that question, but you must confess that with your mouth also.  My answer is yes to Jesus’ question.  What’s yours?

The Lord detests the way of the wicked, but He loves those who pursue righteousness… Proverbs 15:9

Through this verse God reveals that He loves those who pursue righteousness, but detests (hates) the way of the wicked.  We need to try to pursue righteousness.  Act as though Jesus is standing right next to you no matter what it is that you are doing.  Just because you can’t see Jesus doesn’t mean that He cant see you and what you are doing.

And whatever you do [no matter what it is] in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus and in [dependence upon] His Person, giving praise to God the Father through Him… Colossians 3:17

This is one of those self explanatory verses.  Also this is one of those verses that may be a verse of the week more then once.  Everything that we do, do it in the name of Jesus.  That means that whatever we do lets do it to the best of our ability and depend on Jesus to fill in what we can’t do.  In addition, we also need to give praise to the Father through Jesus.  When I do that I usually thank Jesus for giving me the strength, time, patients, etc. to do whatever it is that I am doing.  I challenge you this week to live this verse.
