The Nature of Christ

Colossians 3:12-17 (NKJV)
12 Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering;
13 bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.
14 But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection.
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

La Naturaleza de Cristo

Colosenses 3:12-17 (NVI)
12 Por lo tanto, como escogidos de Dios, santos y amados, revestíos de afecto entrañable y de bondad, humildad, amabilidad y paciencia,
13 de modo que os toleréis unos a otros y os perdonéis si alguno tiene queja contra otro. Así como el Señor os perdonó, perdonad también vosotros.
14 Por encima de todo, vestíos de amor, que es el vínculo perfecto.
15 Que gobierne en vuestros corazones la paz de Cristo, a la cual fuisteis llamados en un solo cuerpo. Y sed agradecidos.
16 Que habite en vosotros la palabra de Cristo con toda su riqueza: instruíos y aconsejaos unos a otros con toda sabiduría; cantad salmos, himnos y canciones espirituales a Dios, con gratitud de corazón.
17 Y todo lo que hagáis, de palabra o de obra, hacedlo en el nombre del Señor Jesús, dando gracias a Dios el Padre por medio de él.

There is Security in Wisdom

Proverbs 4:20-27 (NKJV)
20 My son, give attention to my words;
Incline your ear to my sayings.
21 Do not let them depart from your eyes;
Keep them in the midst of your heart;
22 For they are life to those who find them,
And health to all their flesh.
23 Keep your heart with all diligence,
For out of it spring the issues of life.
24 Put away from you a deceitful mouth,
And put perverse lips far from you.
25 Let your eyes look straight ahead,
And your eyelids look right before you.
26 Ponder the path of your feet,
And let all your ways be established.
27 Do not turn to the right or the left;
Remove your foot from evil.

Hay Seguridad en La Sabiduría

Proverbios 4:20-27 (NVI)
20 Hijo mío, atiende a mis consejos;
escucha atentamente lo que digo.
21 No pierdas de vista mis palabras;
guárdalas muy dentro de tu corazón.
22 Ellas dan vida a quienes las hallan;
son la salud del cuerpo.
23 Por encima de todas las cosas cuida tu corazón,
porque de él mana la vida.
24 Aleja de tu boca la perversidad;
aparta de tus labios las palabras corruptas.
25 Pon la mirada en lo que tienes delante;
fija la vista en lo que está frente a ti.
26 Endereza las sendas por donde andas;
allana todos tus caminos.
27 No te desvíes ni a diestra ni a siniestra;
apártate de la maldad.

Do Not Grieve the Spirit

Ephesians 4:26-32 (NKJV)
25 Therefore, putting away lying, “Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor,” for we are members of one another.
26 “Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your wrath,
27 nor give place to the devil.
28 Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give him who has need.
29 Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.
30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
31 Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice.
32 And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.

No Aflijas al Espíritu Santo

Efesios 4:26-32 (NVI)
26 «Si os enojáis, no pequéis». No permitáis que el enojo os dure hasta la puesta del sol,
27 ni deis cabida al diablo.
28 El que robaba, que no robe más, sino que trabaje honradamente con las manos para tener qué compartir con los necesitados.
29 Evitad toda conversación obscena. Por el contrario, que vuestras palabras contribuyan a la necesaria edificación y sean de bendición para quienes las escuchan.
30 No agraviéis al Espíritu Santo de Dios, con el cual fuisteis sellados para el día de la redención.
31 Abandonad toda amargura, ira y enojo, gritos y calumnias, y toda forma de malicia.
32 Más bien, sed bondadosos y compasivos unos con otros, y perdonaos mutuamente, así como Dios os perdonó en Cristo.

Let’s Walk in The Light

1 John 1:5-10 (NKJV)
5 This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.
6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.

Caminemos En La Luz

1 Juan 1:5-10 (NVI)
5 Este es el mensaje que hemos oído de él y que os anunciamos: Dios es luz y en él no hay ninguna oscuridad.
6 Si afirmamos que tenemos comunión con él, pero vivimos en la oscuridad, mentimos y no ponemos en práctica la verdad.
7 Pero, si vivimos en la luz, así como él está en la luz, tenemos comunión unos con otros, y la sangre de su Hijo Jesucristo nos limpia de todo pecado.
8 Si afirmamos que no tenemos pecado, nos engañamos a nosotros mismos y no tenemos la verdad.
9 Si confesamos nuestros pecados, Dios, que es fiel y justo, nos los perdonará y nos limpiará de toda maldad.
10 Si afirmamos que no hemos pecado, lo hacemos pasar por mentiroso y su palabra no habita en nosotros.

Prayer for Relief from Our Tormentors

Psalms 56:3 (NKJV)
1 Be merciful to me, O God, for man would swallow me up;
Fighting all day he oppresses me.
2 My enemies would hound me all day,
For there are many who fight against me, O Most High.
3 Whenever I am afraid,
I will trust in You.
4 In God (I will praise His word),
In God I have put my trust;
I will not fear.
What can flesh do to me?
