Life

The word “life” is used 134 times in the New Testament. Nearly half of those can be found in John’s writings. We talk about at what John says about life and what it means for our life with Christ.

Jesus was there in the beginning, but what happens in John 1 is incredible. God became flesh. Jesus came to Earth to live among men and reveal more of God to them. And because He did, we can be with God.  



Devoted to Good Works

Three times in the last chapter of Titus, Paul stresses the importance of good works. We do not do good works in an attempt to earn our salvation. We do good works to glorify the God who saves us by His power.

The Word

In 2 Timothy 3, Paul tells Timothy that his familiarity with scripture will equip him for the challenges of life and ministry. Each of us should work to know the Bible better and apply it to our lives.

Living a godly life begins with the heart. A clean heart will produce pure actions, and God’s work will be shown in our lives.  



Truth and Consequences

The people we surround ourselves with can have an impact on how we live our lives. Paul warns Timothy in 2 Timothy 3 what to look out for and how to handle those who cause problems in living as a Christian.
