Ephesians 2:8-9
8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast.Romans 6:13
13 And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.
We can use or body parts in one of two ways....to please God or to sin against God. It is our choice. When we become followers of Jesus though we have pledged to strive to be sinless thus not using our members to sin. So let us draw on the power of the Holy Spirit and bring glory to God by using or members for His righteousness!!!

“Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.” Revelation 4:11
God created it all! So He is the only one who should receive all glory and honor from those He created!!! Are you giving Him the praise that is due to the Almighty Creator God???

Read this:
Your word is settled in heaven.
God's Word has been delivered to us, and it will stand as the truth forever. It can not be changed nor does it need to be. God has said what He has said and we are to obey His Word! It is a done deal!
Read it, learn it, and follow the Word of God for it is our guide book to a fulfilling life!

"Whatever keeps me from my Bible is my enemy." -AW Tozer
who walk in the law of the Lord!
2 Blessed are those who keep his testimonies,
who seek him with their whole heart,
3 who also do no wrong,
but walk in his ways!
4 You have commanded your precepts
to be kept diligently.
5 Oh that my ways may be steadfast
in keeping your statutes!
6 Then I shall not be put to shame,
having my eyes fixed on all your commandments.
7 I will praise you with an upright heart,
when I learn your righteous rules.[b]
8 I will keep your statutes;
do not utterly forsake me!
God's word is very important in our life. We must make it a priority in our lives. To have a proper relationship with God we must know it and practice it. So what ever is keeping you from the word of God is your enemy!
