Daily Bible Benefits with Pastor Bob Daley

Sent from GodJohn 1:6-13“but was sent to bear witness of that Light”John the Baptist was sent by God to bear witness of the true light that was sent by God, Jesus Christ. What a wonderful gift sent by God! Thank you, heavenly Father. Never forget Jesus Christ was sent by God. The Holy Spirit was sent by God. The Holy Bible was sent by God. The Church of Christ was sent by God. The world has misused, abused, and killed the precious gifts. That has been sent by God. Let every born-again child of God lift his hand and his heart to God and say, “Thank you, Jehovah God, for the gifts that were sent by you.” Amen.Thank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day

The Living WordJohn 1:1-5 Most conservative Bible students would understand that Jesus Christ is the living word. We also understand that God created the world by speaking his word through the living word. We see the light of the world through the living word. We see the love of God through the living word. We see the hope of salvation. Let us today trust the living word of God.Thank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day

Holy Affection“Greet ye one another with an holy kiss.” Judas betrayed Jesus with a kiss, but it wasn't holy let us make sure our affection is holy by putting away self and sinEphesians 4:31-3231 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.Thank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day

Stand fast in the Faith1 Corinthians 16:12-18“Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong”How can we stand fast in the faith? well, Paul said we need toWatch, I think Paul is saying keep your eyes up on Jesus. He also said quit you like men don't be a wimp don't give up so easily but on the contrary, be strong not in your own power, but in the power of the LordThank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day

The work of the Lord1 Corinthians 16:5-11“for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do” Let us give thanks today to the preachers, the commentators, the prayer warriors, the soul winners, the printers that are printing books and tracks to spread the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ.Thank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day

Helping Financially1 Corinthians 16:1-4Here the apostle Paul is preparing the churches to take up an offering for the suffering saints in JerusalemJames 2:15-1615 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? Given financially to people in need is showing the compassion and love of Jesus. Paul the apostle was responsible for getting this offering to these poor saints in Jerusalem. I think the best way to give is through the church of God under God‘s leadership and authority. You know your offering will not be wasted.Thank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day

Victory in Jesus1 Corinthians 15:50-58How many people have spent time debating when the trumpet will sound? One thing is totally guaranteed. It's gonna sound.Paul said, “Give thanks to God, give thanks to the Lord Jesus Christ. I heard an old, old story, how a Savior came from gloryHow He gave His life on Calvary to save a wretch like meI heard about His groaning, of His precious blood's atoningThen I repented of my sins, and won the victory Let us focus on victory in Jesus today.Thank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day

How are the dead raised up?1 Corinthians 15:35-49 Some Christians in the Corinthian Church did not believe that the dead were raised up, and they asked a question: how are the dead raised up? Paul gives them a profound answer. God created everything; there's no time with God. There's nothing too hard for God.Thank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day

The Resurrection of Christ explained1 Corinthians 15:12-34The firstfruits of the harvest and the contrast between Adam and Christ. When the harvest was over before grain could be sold in the markets or could be used by the people, the firstfruits of the harvest had to be offered to God. From a general field the grain was harvested and specially prepared and then offered to God. Only then could the grain be used.Building on that picture, Paul said that until God had raised Christ from the dead, no one had any hope. But His Resurrection became like the grain that had been offered to God: it opened the way for everyone to have hope. He made Adam the symbol of the old earthly order and Christ the symbol of the new orderThe preachers commentaryThank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day

The Glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ1 Corinthians 15:1-11Praise God that this historical event was written down and proclaimed to the Church of God. Without it, we would be another vain organization, but with the glorious gospel, the Church of God has hope for this lost world.Christ died, was buried, and raised from the dead bodily. He's coming back to establish an everlasting Kingdom.Thank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day

Worship that works1 Corinthians 14:26-40Many will look at these scriptures and try to prove or disprove that tongues are for today, but I think they miss the big picture.Paul is allowing the laity to be involved in the worship service, but under the guidance of the clergy, they definitely shouldn't have any self-interest in the worship of God. Sometimes we use church lingo and we're unaware of it, and people go away empty-handed. Let our worship services be orderly,Spiritual, and giving glory to God, I personally think tongues were for a sign, but today we have the Holy scriptures, and not to use them,in the worship of God,is very disrespectful.Thank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day

The convicting power of God‘s Word1 Corinthians 14:21-25“he is convinced of all, he is judged of all”God‘s perfect will is for all to hear his wonderful plan of salvation, but many will reject his words, but some will believe and be converted when the church is in perfect harmony and proclaiming the wonderful words of God. Sinners will be converted, and the church will be edified.Thank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day

Teaching the Truth1 Corinthians 14:10-17“ that by my voice I might teach others”Paul the apostle was given these Corinthians a lesson on how to teach the truth. The main element of teaching the truth is for your audience to understand what you're saying. There are many commentators that make it very difficult to understand what they are saying because they use words that are not common to us. They may seem intelligent, but they forsake this principle of speaking words that are easy to understand.Thank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day

Meaningful Preaching1 Corinthians 14:6-9Jesus Christ spoke with words, easy to be understood but hard and difficult for some to understand because their hearts were hard and calloused. Oh, that we might seek to understand the wonderful words of life today.Thank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day

Profitable Preaching1 Corinthians 14:1-5The fruit of profitable preaching is edification, exhortation, and comfort for the church. One of the Pastor's duties is to lead and feed the church of God. Paul, the apostle instructed Timothy to “Study to shew thyself approved under God”2 Timothy 2:15Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.Thank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day

The Greatest Gift of AllAt the conclusion of his chapter on the gifts of the Spirit, after having admonished his readers to "desire the best gifts," Paul then promises to show them the way that is superior to all others—love.The preachers commentaryThank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day

The Unity is in Diversity1 Corinthians 12:12-31Paul is not yet through with the discussion of the gifts of the Spirit, but he now builds on what he has already said as he addresses the problems of divisions in the church and makes a case for unity. The continuing need for the church with all its diversity is to find a basis for oneness.The preachers commentaryThank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day

Each Believer is Gifted1 Corinthians 12:1-11This particular chapter can be of great help to Christians and churches today in their effort to build unity within the fellowship. We see all around us in the world the principle of which Paul speaks. We go to an athletic event where there are several players on one team. And while they have different positions to play and differing skills, that very fact is the source of their unity and the thing that makes it possible for them to play the game. The same is true when we go to the symphony. There is great variety in the instruments played and the skills required of the players, but all those instruments and all those different musicians create a musical unity as they give a concert.The preachers commentaryThank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day

Remember What the Lord's Supper Really is1 Corinthians 11:23-34Paul's method for correcting the abuse is to go back to the very beginning and to remind his readers of the Last Supper's institution and meaning. In four verses he reminds his readers how it all started and what its original purpose was.The unworthy partakersNo one is worthy. He is addressing the unsaved and the unclean. If you want to partake in the Lord's supper, get saved ( John 3:16). If you are saved but unclean, confess and forsake your sin ( 1 John 1:9).Thank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day

Don't Let Differences Undermine Your Worship1 Corinthians 11:17-22The early church had developed a very lovely tradition in connection with the observance of the Lord's Supper. They had a meal that was called a Love Feast to which each member brought what he or she was able to share. The resources were then pooled, and the whole church sat down to a common meal which provided a beautiful picture of the oneness they shared in Christ. It was a way of creating and developing real Christian fellowship in the church. Then, in connection with the meal, the Lord's Supper was celebrated. This had a certain naturalness to it since Christ had instituted the practice at the close of the Jewish Passover meal.The problem was this got out of hand. Instead of sharing, they were separating.The preachers commentaryThank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day

Put Freedom in Proper Contex1 Corinthians 10:23-33While Paul was writing mainly about the subject of food offered to idols, the way in which he stated the principle, "or whatever you do" verse 31, suggests that it has a much broader application. Can you imagine what would happen in all situations of strife within the church if we would agree from the very beginning to binding arbitration with the agreed-upon principle being "whatever will give God the most glory." Because of the neglect of this principle, so much good is left undone, and so much strife is begun.Thank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day

Be Sensitive to Traditions and Customs1 Corinthians 11:1-16It had been the custom in the synagogue and in some pagan temples for women in attendance to cover their heads. In the Jewish tradition, the covering represented a distinction in dress to acknowledge the difference between men and women. The women were also seated separately from the men and were not allowed to recite the lesson aloud with the men. Some of the members in Corinth were from this Jewish background and had unconsciously brought with them much of their tradition. The Preacher's CommentaryDon't get fixated on traditions; instead, spread the gospel of Jesus Christ.Thank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day

Don't Flirt with Idolatry1 Corinthians 10:14-22The earliest mention of the Lord's Supper comes here and in the next chapter, but Paul's purpose is neither to detail how it was instituted nor to show how it was used in the early church. Rather, he gives it as an argument for Christian unity and against Christians having anything to do with the worship of idols.Thank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day

Don't Feel Secure in Ceremony1 Corinthians 10:1-13There were individuals in the church in Corinth who felt that the fact that they had been baptized and had partaken of the Lord's Supper made them immune to the temptations of idol worship. Just as a person who has taken shots that immunize lhim or her against a contagious disease is not afraid of catching it, the Corinthians felt that once they had been baptized and had taken the Lord's Supper, they were immune to any danger.Thank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day

Developing Self-Discipline1 Corinthians 9:24-27The crown the runners received was a wreath which soon wilted, while the reward of the faithful Christian would last forever. Also, in the races only one person could win, while in the kingdom of God, every child of God has the potential for success. But there was one thing that Paul felt that each Christian had in common with the athletes—he or she needed discipline.Thank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day

Every Person's Servant1 Corinthians 9:15-23The church would be more effective in her evangelism if all those of us who are members could learn really to identify with all kinds of people. Most of us come equipped, even before we are converted, to like people who are like us.Thank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day

Laying Aside Rights1 Corinthians 9:1-14What a lesson for all of us and especially for those who are called to be ministers of Christ's gospel! We must be above suspicion. If we do or permit anything that might prove a hindrance to the acceptance of Christ by others, we must forego it, though reasonable in itself, that we may win them to our Savior. F B Meyer's Commentary.Thank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day

Consider Christ1 Corinthians 8:12-13Our Lord, in the days of His flesh here on earth, was careful never to cause others to stumble. The incident in Mat 17:24-27 illustrates this. “Lest we should cause them to stumble” is a wonderful principle to follow, for it means putting Christian love into daily living. Christ died for the weaker Christian, therefore we dare not cause them to sin. To sin against another Christian is to sin against Christ! It would be better to go without meat than to make others fall, says Paul.Wiersbe's Commentary.Thank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day

Consider Your Brother's Conscience1 Corinthians 8:9-11Conscience is that inner judge that condemns us when we do wrong and commends us when we do right. It “bears witness” to us (Rom 2:15 and Rom 9:1). The Christian's conscience has been purged (Heb 9:14 and Heb 10:22) and is termed a “good conscience” (1Ti 1:5, 1Ti 1:19). Repeated sin not judged and confessed will make it a defiled conscience (Tit 1:15) and eventually a seared conscience (1Ti 4:2) that no longer convicts. We must strive to have a conscience void of offense Acts 24:16 And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men. Wiersbe's commentary Thank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day

Consider Your Brother's Knowledge1 Corinthians 8:4-8The Christian life cannot be lived in its fullness if a man is ignorant of the Word. We must always take into consideration that some Christians do not understand the blessings of liberty we have in Christ. They live in religious bondage and try to regulate their lives with rules and rituals (see Col 2:16-23).As a Christian grows in grace and knowledge, through reading and obeying the Word, he understands the truth, and the truth sets him free (Jhn 8:32). He sees knowledge as a tool with which to build, not a weapon with which to fight. (Wiersbe's commentary)Thank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day

Consider Your Own Attitude1 Corinthians 8:1-3Too often strong Christians who know the Bible are prone to be “puffed up” when they deal with weaker Christians. Paul admits here, as well as in Rom 14:1-23, that some believers are strong in the faith and mature, while others are weak and have legalistic views of the Christian life. “Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up!” Verse 1 In fact, the man who thinks he knows everything is admitting that he knows nothing! Paul is not encouraging us to be “ignorant brethren,” but rather is warning us that a proud attitude is not Christ-like. Knowledge must be balanced with love, love for God and for our brethren. We must not judge one another or reject one another (Rom 14:4-12). Wiersbe's commentaryThank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day

Marriage should not be a quick decision1 Corinthians 7:36-40It is next to impossible to lay down rules that fit each case when it comes to marriage. Paul warns them that they must be convinced in their own hearts, and not merely follow the crowd or try to appear superspiritual.Thank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day

The responsibilities of marriage1 Corinthians 7:32-35 We need to face the fact's that marriage involves many cares and demands 1.Emotional Support – Being there for your spouse through life's ups and downs, offering encouragement, love, and understanding.2. Communication – Open and honest dialogue is essential to resolve conflicts, express needs, and maintain intimacy.3. Commitment & Faithfulness – Staying true to vows, working through challenges, and prioritizing the relationship.4. Financial Responsibilities – Managing money together, budgeting, and making financial decisions that impact both partners.5. Conflict Resolution – Disagreements will arise, so learning to resolve them with patience, respect, and compromise is key.Thank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day

Take into account all the factors before getting married. Marriage is a serious matter, and Christians were facing difficult times. These testings were not to cause the married to divorce or the unmarried to be frightened out of marriage (Verse 27); but due consideration had to be given to the situation at hand. Living a dedicated Christian life means sometimes forsaking even the good things of the world.Thank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day

Christians Married to Unsaved Partners1 Corinthians 7:10-24The fact that a person becomes a Christian does not change his or her status in society. Paul tells the Corinthians not to try to “undo” their situation, but to abide in their calling and allow Christ to make the changes in His way and His time.Thank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day

The Unmarried Christians1 Corinthians 7:1-9 Paul was not married and advises against marriage for some. He is not advocating celibacy, however, for later he strongly denounces “forbidding to marry” (I Timothy 4:3) and puts it in the category of those who “depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils” (I Timothy 4:1).Thank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day

Don't Let Your Body Lead You Astray1 Corinthians 6:12-20 Christians are to glorify God with their bodies. This means the way we care for the body, the way we dress the body, the places we take the body, the deeds we do in the body. It is dangerous for Christians to use their bodies for sin. Remember what happened to Samson and David!Thank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day

Settle Your Own Differences1 Corinthians 6:1-11Paul continues to warn the church in Corinth about the way in which it deals with certain problems affecting the witness of the church. Paul was concerned that two church members would have a disagreement and instead of settling it in the Spirit of Christ, would take each other to courtThank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day

Don't Condone Immorality1 Corinthians 5:1-13Paul now deals with the second problem that had been reported to him: immorality in the church and the refusal of the leaders to deal with the offender. How sad that such awful sin should be “commonly reported” and thus ruin the testimony of the church!Thank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day

Spiritual Parents1 Corinthians 4:14-21The analogy that Paul used to distinguish himself from all the others who had played a part in their spiritual pilgrimage was the difference between an instructor and a parent. In his use of "my beloved children" Verse 14 we see his feelings of love and tenderness for them. In Ephesians he counsels fathers not to be so harsh with their children that they would provoke them to wrath (Eph 6:4). Here Paul, functioning as a spiritual father, follows his own advice as he calls upon his paternal relationship with them as a basis for unity.Thank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day

Humble Servants1 Corinthians 4:6-13One of the great statements on the doctrine of grace. Verse 7 "what hast thou that thou didst not receive?"is a question that will create genuine humility in each of us, for everything that is lasting and worthwhile we have received at the hands of God. Paul knew that pride could be so divisive in the life of the church and that humility had a way of drawing people together.Thank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day

Let Jesus be our Judge1 Corinthians 4:1-8Remember, Christ is the one who will judge us fairly. So, let's not be judgmental of others,Insults and criticisms don't deserve a fight back. God knows all the facts, and we probably know worse things about ourselves than the person criticizing us. The hidden works of darkness will be revealed, and Jesus will show us the true nature of our hearts. So, let's live our lives carefully today, knowing that God will judge us.Thank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day

ye are the temple of God“The Spirit of God dwelleth in you . . . which temple ye are” When a person is saved, the Holy Spirit comes to dwell in that person. This gives many blessings to the believer and makes the believer a spiritual temple of God. There are those who are or have been indwelt by unholy spirits or demons as they are often called. These demons cause all sorts of trouble for the one they indwell. But in contrast the Holy Spirit is nothing but blessing to the believer.Thank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day

Consequences of Divisions in the Church part 2Consequences of Divisions in the Church part 2Rewards will be lost1 Corinthians 3:10-1510 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.Thank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day

Spiritual growth is stunted1 Corinthians 3:1-9One of the criticisms of Paul's ministry by the Corinthians was that his messages were too elementary and simple. Here he answers that criticism by telling them why his messages were elementary and simple and why he gave the Corinthians such a simple spiritual diet.“I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ” verse 1. Paul had to speak with such simplicity in his preaching and teaching in Corinth because the people were carnal.“I have fed you with milk, and not with meat” verse 2. Furthermore, Paul had to give the people a simple diet in teaching because the people were unable to digest a more advanced teaching.“Hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able” verse 2. This problem of carnality and not growing up spiritually had existed a long time in the Corinth Church .Thank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day

Wisdom from the Spirit1 Corinthians 2:6-16 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: 7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. 16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.Thank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day

Proclaiming Christ CrucifiedPaul is speaking of his Gospel ministry amongst those in the Corinthian Church The purpose of this speaking of his ministry is to emphasize what he spoke about in the previous chapter, namely, that his ministry was not of the wisdom and power of man but of the wisdom and power of God.Thank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day

Christ the Wisdom and Power of God1 Corinthians 1:18-3118 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.Thank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day

Grace be unto you1 Corinthians 1:1-9“Apostle of Jesus Christ.” This is an official office with extraordinary authority in the early church history. It is inseparably related to Jesus Christ.

The Great CommissionMatthew 28:16-20“The eleven disciples” verse 16 The word “eleven” reminds of the loss of Judas Iscariot who betrayed Christ then later committed suicide. Judas' loss reduced the count of the disciples to eleven. The case of Judas has many modern-day illustrations, such folk start well and seem to be ready and willing to serve Christ. But they fall out by the way and do not make it into His service.“All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth” verse 18 To understand this text on power, it is important to know that the word translated “power” primarily means “authority” not strength or might. Before Christ gives the disciples the commission, He first informs them of the authority for the commission.if you would fulfill the great commission given you, you must recognize Him as authority over you.Thank you for tuning into Daily Bible Benefits Have a good and godly Day
