We are grateful for your reminder of Jesus' teachings, which are indeed the foundation of our faith and the path to eternal life with God. Jesus' message is clear: love, forgive, be humble, live a moral life, seek first the Kingdom of God, serve others, have faith, and repent from our sins. This is the narrow path that leads to life and peace with God.
As Jesus said in the Sermon on the Mount, "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God." WEB Matthew 5:7-9.
Let us pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come to You in the name of Jesus Christ, Your only begotten Son, You have told us in Your Word, 'Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you'. You are the God of love, forgiveness, and mercy.
Father God, help us to love as You love, forgive as You forgive, and live humble, moral lives that honor and glorify Your name. Help us to seek first Your Kingdom and Your righteousness, trusting that You will provide for all our needs. Help us to serve others with a willing heart, to have strong faith in You, and to turn away from our sins as you have told us in Your word.
Father God, help us to put You first and to be more like Jesus every day. Help us to be living examples of Christ as we love and serve others. Help us to be Light in this dark world. In the precious name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen."
As we strive to live according to Jesus' teachings, let us always remember that our salvation comes only through faith in Him. As Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." WEB John 14:6. It is only through Jesus Christ that we can be saved.
Let us encourage each other to stay strong in our faith, to obey God's commands, and to share the good news of Jesus Christ with those around us. We are not to conform to this world but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds, that we may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.
Let us also remember to pray for one another, that we may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding and be guided in wisdom and knowledge and discernment.
If you have not trusted Jesus Christ as your savior, it is not by works but by His grace we are saved. We do what we do out of obedience and love for our Heavenly Father not to obtain salvation. Ephesians 2:8-9 WEB For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, that no one would boast.
Therefore, let us endeavor to share this gift of salvation with others, living a life of love, forgiveness, humility, and moral uprightness.
