jesus remember christ
Remember that we have to ask things of God that are in keeping with the God whom Jesus Christ revealed.
christian jesus memories
It's easier to serve God without a vision, easier to work for God without a call, because then you are not bothered by what God requires; common sense is your guide, veneered over with Christian sentiment. But once you receive a commission from Jesus Christ the memory of what God wants will always come like a goad, and you will no longer be able to work for Him on the common sense basis.
jesus kingdoms christ
The central point of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ is a personal relationship with Him, not public usefulness to others.
christian jesus motivation
In Christian work our initiative and motivation are too often simply the result of realizing that there is work to be done and that we must do it. Yet that is never the attitude of a spiritually vigorous saint. His aim is to achieve the realization of Jesus Christ in every set of circumstances.
jesus majority intention
If I am going to know who Jesus is, I must obey Him. The majority of us don't know Jesus because we have not the remotest intention of obeying Him.
spiritual jesus integrity
It is a great thing to see physical courage, and greater still to see moral courage, but the greatest to see of all is spiritual courage; oh, to see a person who will stand true to the integrity of Jesus Christ no matter what he or she goes through!
christian jesus joy
The Bible talks plentifully about joy, but it nowhere talks about a 'happy Christian.' Happiness depends on what happens; joy does not. Remember, Jesus Christ had joy, and He prayed 'that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.'
running jesus men
When a man says he must develop a holy life alone with God, he is of no more use to his fellow men: he puts himself on a pedestal, away from the common run of men.........If we are abandoned to Jesus, we have no ends of our own to serve.
religious jesus redemption
If we simply preach the effects of redemption in the human life instead of the revealed, divine truth regarding Jesus Himself, the result is not new birth in those who listen. The result is {only} a refined religious lifestyle . . . we must make sure that we are living in such harmony with God that as we proclaim His truth He can create in others those things which He alone can do.
jesus mean matter
No matter who or what we are, God restores us to right standing with Himself only by means of the death of Jesus Christ.
loyalty jesus cost
In a conflict of loyalty, obey Jesus at all costs.
jesus creativity saint
The one true mark of a saint of God is the inner creativity that flows from being totally surrendered to Jesus Christ.
determination jesus may
Make the determination to abide in Jesus wherever you are now or wherever you may be placed in the future.
christian jesus spirit
The spirit of God has the habit of taking the words of Jesus out of their scriptural setting and putting them into the setting of our personal lives.
