OUTLINE:

Ro 1:12 [NLV]
Both of us need help. I can help make your faith strong and you can do the same for me. We need each other.

Do Not Be Deceived
It’s a privilege to have the time / energy / opportunity to encourage another human being. (Ref. Jn 15-10-13)

Escaping Misery  
It’s impossible to remain miserable if we focus on Christ.

What’s more important than protecting your peace?

Trust in God.
(Ps 28, 56; Jer 17:7)

Heb 1:3b [Amplified]
[Jesus Christ is] upholding and maintaining and propelling all things [the entire physical and spiritual universe] by His powerful word [carrying the universe along to its predetermined goal].

Relationships Require Effort
We seek to give rather than to receive. Christ is our pristine example.

“I have called you friends”
Friends are those we share confidential things with (our hopes, our dreams, our innermost intents, etc.). Jesus intimates such things with His sheep, but only those who come to truly know Him will ever benefit.

Reading Your Bible
You’re better off reading one chapter in the Word and meditating on it through prayer and fellowship with the Holy Spirit than reading a whole book and then immediately heading back to your worship-less lifestyle.

Mt 11:28 “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give
you rest.”
Heb 4:11 Therefore let us be diligent to enter that rest, so that no one will fall, through following the same example of disobedience.

Ps 4:8
In peace I will both lie down and sleep, For You alone, O LORD, make me to
dwell in safety.

Ps 34:14
Depart from evil and do good; Seek peace and pursue it.

Ps 119:165
Those who love Your law have great peace,
And nothing causes them to stumble.

Is 26:3
“The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect peace,
Because he trusts in You.”

Jn 16:33
“These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.”

Ro 8:6
For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace.

1Co 14:33
for God is not a God of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.

Php 4:7
And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Col 3:15
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful.

2Th 3:16
Now may the Lord of peace Himself continually grant you peace in every circumstance. The Lord be with you all!

The Simple Definition For Sin

1Ti 2:4
[God] desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
