Keep being sacrificial and confident as you hold up God's powerful word, knowing this his saving promises are guaranteed by his faithful character.
To be effective in relaying the life-changing truth of the gospel, we must keep both our weakness and God's greatness clearly in view.
Refusing to Distort the Truth to Fit Our Culture's Demands
We need to keep representing and sharing the truth without compromising it, regardless of people who don't get it or oppose us for upholding it.
We need to appreciate and celebrate the greatness of the God-breathed New Testament gospel and its power to transform and shape our lives.
We should live as genuinely regenerate Christians, consistently speaking and acting so that others are clearly shown the transforming power of God's living and active Word.
The Satisfaction of Stewardship
It is an honor and a solemn stewardship to represent Christ in our world—a task that brings profound satisfaction when done faithfully, even though it will not always be well-received.
The Unsettling Concerns of Love
We need to be ready for the challenges, sacrifices, and emotional discomfort that come with truly loving other Christians the way God calls us to.
Nothing could be more urgent and important than responding to the resurrected Christ, who offers himself as our ultimate solution to every threat, challenge, and problem we face in this life and the next.
We must be prepared for the challenges of the testing that will be sure to come in the Christian life, passing these tests without falling to the schemes of our spiritual enemy.
We should seek to find true joy in repentance – our own and others' – as we celebrate grace and purpose to genuinely love other forgiven brothers and sisters.
To keep a clear conscience before both God and people, we must serve them with love and sympathy as God defines, not as we or they might prefer.
If we are to navigate the variabilities of this present life with confidence and a godly attitude then we must trust in the immutability of God and his good overarching plan.
Our love for God's people ought to drive us to a purely-motivated loving service and care that goes even beyond what we think is possible.
When there are misunderstandings, hurt, and conflict we must seek to repair the problems without ever compromising our integrity before God.
We must be especially attuned to the state of our conscience, making sure it is rightly calibrated to God's truth, and then faithfully followed by God's grace.
We must employ the divinely sanctioned means of comfort modeled by the Apostle Paul to experience God's strength and hope in the midst of difficult times.
If we are cognizant of the ways God helps us through our trials, we can then become skilled at helping other Christians through their seasons of suffering.
We should be prayerfully confident that God will orchestrate and apply comfort to our hearts as we draw near to him and each other in the midst of difficult times.
We, as Christians graciously saved by God's grace, ought to sincerely and resolutely aim at living a life that pleases the Lord.
We should be comforted and encouraged by God's announcement of his ancient plans to bring about our salvation through Christ just after Adam and Eve first sinned.
We should joyfully submit to King Jesus knowing he redeemed us and will one day vanquish all rebels, ushering in a kingdom of peace.
We must see the paramount importance of forgiving others always mindful of the far-reaching effects, even, or especially when it is difficult.
We must understand our Christian requirement to forgive, and God's appeal for us to forgive willingly, sincerely, and fully as we are reconciled with our brothers and sisters in Christ.
We must understand our profound connection with each other because of our union with Christ.
We must diligently keep investing in all that is important to God, faithfully and wisely dealing with people, and rightly handling God's word until the work of the church is done.
