A Warning to Me?

But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Matthew 8:12

Reading:

Matthew 8:1-17

“When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him” (Matthew 8:1).

Does my life today say I would I have been among the multitudes that followed Jesus then?

Is my preference to “tell no man” about Jesus’ deeds for me?

Do I take Jesus’ Word as His command to me?

How can I learn to care about others as Jesus does?

How sick must I be before I exercise my faith in Jesus’ healing will and power?

[The Scriptures say in Matthew 8:17 -- Himself took our infirmities]
from Matthew 8:17

Godliness: A Faithful People Pursuing Virtue

Divine Power!

According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue.

2 Peter 1:3

Reading:

2 Peter 1:3-15

Is my faith enough?

When do I go about doing the kind of adding commanded here?

How do I develop my knowledge of Jesus?

Do I orient my Christian living toward the minimum I think God requires?

If I remember and if I am strong, why should I be reminded?

“Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall” (2 Peter 1:10).

[The Scriptures say in 2 Peter 1:5 -- Giving all diligence, add to your faith]
from 2 Peter 1:5
