You have not yet properly comprehended the Word until you live by the Word. Take a closer look at your troubles - maybe you just haven’t seen the blessings in them. You can strive for humility, but it is impossible to praise yourself for humility. Nature in all its manifestations is a finger pointing us to God. Christ paid off our debts, because we ourselves are not able to pay off these debts. Christ bridged the gap between the infinitely great God and the insignificant man. God's law reveals our problem, God's grace solves it. Our diagnosis is sin, our cure is Christ. If Christ lives in your heart, don’t forget to let your face know about it! We don't just need a head full of facts, we need a heart full of faith. Soldiers of Christ fight best on their knees. Heaven is prepared for those who prepare for it. God gives exactly as much grace as is needed in each specific case. Many teachers became great, but only one was resurrected. Those who walk in the light have a soul that sings in darkness. If you know that God exists, show it with your life. True freedom is living for Christ. Our joy does not come from what we see around us, but from Him who lives in us. If someone does you wrong, you do the right thing - LOVE them. Do not live for human glory, do everything for the glory of God. God sends everything on time - even death. Housework is only noticed when you are not doing it. The greatest honor that anyone has given us is the opportunity to talk to God. Gratitude to God is Christian courtesy.

The smallest deed done for Christ means a lot. We will be ready for the last moment if we are ready for it every moment. (Bonar) Don't forget to forgive the offense, and then don't forget to forget about it. Christian unity begins at the cross. Don't try to do everything - do only what God calls you to do. God will never give himself to anyone who gives himself to God. God sees both the giver and the giving—both the hand and the heart. When we have nothing and no one left except God, He alone is enough. No matter how far you have run from God, you can reach Him with just one hand. The joy of heaven will far exceed the hardships of earth. The stronger the storm, the more we feel how tightly the anchor holds us. Anyone who does not have fire in his heart will not be able to ignite the hearts of others. Christ gave His life for us so that this life might continue in us. Apples of discord do not grow on the vine of Christ. The mysterious ways of the Lord deserve our boundless praise. The most precious gift we can receive is Christ. Christians cannot help but sin at all, but they can always avoid sinning. To make any sense out of your life, give it to God. Until you have opened your heart to Christ, there is no point in celebrating His Christmas.

It is better to sail through a storm with Christ than to sail through calm waters without Christ. One word of encouragement can bring a person out of the darkness of despair into the bright light of hope. God opens the gates of heaven to all who open their hearts to Him. Praise can help us get rid of the burden of sorrows. If you want your marriage to last, build it on Christ. Knowledge, if it does not lead to wisdom, can be dangerous. Wanted: ordinary people for extraordinary things. Count not your troubles, but your blessings. The more we strive to be who we should be, the less we will need to hide who we really are. It depends on God what trials will come to us, and it depends on us how we will get through these trials. What we do today determines what reward we will receive tomorrow. He who is born once will die twice. He who is born twice will die once. Our salvation cost God dearly, but we got it for nothing. What Christ did for us, the Spirit does in us. Our faith may be small, but God is big. God speaks through His Word to those who listen to Him with their hearts. Anyone who cooks up different stories can get seriously burned.

The good news of the Gospel is too good for us not to share it with anyone. God can turn even what is painful to us into joy. The stronger the trials, the stronger the faith. We are on earth not to adapt to darkness, but to shine in the darkness. It's easy to stand in a crowd, but difficult to stand alone. Our price does not depend on what we own, but on who owns us. Give your life to God - He will deal with it better than you can. Anyone who serves God only for money is spiritually bankrupt. What we are worth becomes clear when we do not expect it at all. You don't have to know where you're going if you know God is leading you. If we do not correct our mistakes, then we add a second to one. Kind words are easy to listen to, but they carry a lot of weight. We lose the joy of living today if we worry too much about what will happen tomorrow. To be wise is to know when to say what you think and when to think what to say. There is no such thing as when you talk about Christ to the wrong person. If you believe in God, bad weather gives way to happiness. A clear conscience is the best sleeping pill. God loves everyone as if there was no one else in the world besides him. If you think that meekness is a sign of weakness, try being meek for at least a week. Many books teach what a person should do, but only the Bible can change a person himself. Only the church can help a world that has lost hope. Every temptation is an opportunity to trust God. There are no hopeless situations for those who trust in God. The lubricant of politeness reduces friction between people. We can go through all trials because Jesus walks with us. True freedom is found by those who submit to Christ. One cannot be called a fool who gives what cannot be kept in order to gain what cannot be lost. (Jim Eliot) Christ bridges the gap between the infinite God and finite man. To bring joy back into your heart, count your blessings. In every problem lies a great opportunity. Salvation is the result of what Christ did for us, our reward is the result of what we do for Him. Faith shines brightest in a child's heart. The highest good for a person can be born in his deepest suffering. If you want to compare yourself with someone, compare yourself with Christ. Be slow to anger and quick to repent. Work hard for the future—bring your child to Christ. Christ can forgive any sin - both the biggest and the smallest. The Spirit of God helps God's people understand the Word of God. If it seems to you that God is somewhere far away from you, who do you think has moved away from whom? The trouble with those who believe that they are their own head is that they worship this head. If we rely on Christ for everything, we can endure anything. Our thirst for God can only be quenched by Jesus, the Living Water. True compassion is love in action. Playing with sin can lead to a death sentence. If you keep pace with Christ, you will be out of step with the world. Fools adapt God's grace to themselves, wise people adapt themselves to God's grace. Our unknown future is in the hands of our Omniscient God. If you decide to become a missionary, you will have to travel much closer than you think. God feeds the birds, but does not pour food into their nests. The Word of God is a map that helps us chart our course through life. Well, before your feelings start to confuse you, solve everything by faith. If God is for us, what difference does it make who is against us? Our love for Christ is only as true as our love for our neighbor. Only God can transform a soul corrupted by sin into a masterpiece of grace. There is nothing more difficult than picking up a gauntlet thrown down by yourself. God may not always give us answers, but He always gives us grace. An idol is anything that occupies the place reserved for God. Just look at Jesus once, and the dark shadow of death will disappear forever. Kind words always sound like wonderful music to those whose hearts are heavy. God's Word transcends time and age—it has something to say to every generation. Anyone who trusts in God cannot find himself in a hopeless situation. If we live for ourselves, we will die; if we die to ourselves, we will live. There is no place for relativity in God's truth. The second coming of Christ can be believed as firmly as the first. Christ freed us from the penalty of sin; the Spirit frees us from the power of sin. To be a Christian means to be a loyal subject of the King of kings. God uses what is pulling us back to lead us forward. It is commendable to pay good for good; to pay good for evil is Christian. If you've been running around and haven't found time to read the Bible, you've really been running away. Christ took my place on the cross to give me a place in heaven. Fear sees obstacles, faith sees opportunities. Only a living Savior can save a dying world. Your Christianity is worthless if you don't change at all. Trust in God is a sure cure for fear. Just one word from our mouth can tell a lot about our heart. Ah, if only your thoughts were pure, and everything else would follow! The one who gossips to you about others is gossiping to others about you! Carry the good news everywhere! When growth stops, decline begins. By helping others, you yourself receive a blessing. Only what you already have can grow. God plunges us into deep waters not to drown us, but to wash us. In order not to be in the power of temptations, you need to be in the power of Christ. The miracles of Christ lead us to the heaven of Christ. What would my church be like if all its members were like me? Our worth can be judged by how we behave when no one can see us. To settle accounts with the offender, you need to stoop to his level. Jesus paid for my salvation. How can I thank Him for this? God's justice and God's mercy met at the cross. If Christ lives in us, we will live with Him forever. When we see Christ face to face, His glory will be reflected in us. Salvation is not feelings, but faith. The closer we are to Christ, the more like Him we become. If you taste the Bible only occasionally, you will never taste it properly. When God adds years to your life, ask Him to add life to your years. Against the backdrop of our limited strength, the limitless power of God is even more visible. The ability to accept criticism is a clear sign of spiritual growth. Christ said: “Go into all the world” (Mark 16:15). And “the whole world” begins outside your door. You will never find a better time to praise than right now. What we are worth is not determined by what we have, but by what we do with what we have. The most godly victim is yourself. Before we serve, we need to become well acquainted with the One we are about to serve. Prayer is talking to our best friend. Until we begin to live the Bible, we cannot say that we understand it. Trouble and the strength to withstand this trouble come together. A house built with hands is not yet a home. A real house is also built with the heart. If someone is bothering us, maybe we can help him with something? When we think we are humble, we are not. To experience God's power, we need to admit our weakness. If a Christian does not sleep, he cannot help but work. If you want to please God, do what you want. If you lose sight of God, obstacles will seem larger than they are. It is the death of Christ, not his life, that saves us. Words are confirmed by deeds. Gold is learned in fire, a man is in trouble. The dawn of God's deliverance often occurs when the darkest hour of trial has arrived. There is peace in the soul when Christ rules the heart. Faith in Christ is a bridge across the abyss of death. The more you strive for heaven, the less you will like this world. It is not how much we give that matters, but what we sacrifice. Love never asks: “What will it cost me?” God demands loyalty and rewards it generously. There is a place in God's plan for every child of God. If you know the truth, you will recognize deception. Pray to know God, not to get something from Him. Knowing the Bible is good, knowing the Author is even better. We glorify God's name when we call Him Father and live like His Son. Loving God means obeying God. The surest cleanser in the world is honest confession before God. When we are filled with pride, there is no place for wisdom in us. There is nothing stronger than truth. (Webster) Anyone who loses his temper then finds no place for himself anywhere. Be tolerant of the shortcomings of others, because they also have to tolerate you. The less we do today, the more we will have left for tomorrow. When we stumble, God holds us up and leads us forward. When Christ comes into someone's soul, He changes everything about it. Our spirit will definitely fail us if we are not filled with God's Spirit. If we take care of our character, our reputation will take care of itself! (D.L. Moody) It's never too early to make plans for eternity. If you know Christ, you will want others to know Him. Is what you live for worth dying for? Christ cares about us! Take God's promises to heart, but never take them for granted. We can stop forgiving others only when Christ stops forgiving us. Big victories come from big problems. Invest your most valuable capital, life, in something that promises eternal dividends. A good father shows the love of the Heavenly Father. The noblest reason for being obedient to God is the desire to please God. We do not need to be victims of circumstances because Christ has overcome all circumstances. Plan how to pray and pray how to plan. A good word can say more than entire volumes. Peace can only be found by submitting to the will of God. God's love is both strict and tender. God operates in the shadows, but is in complete control of everything that happens in the light. If you share grief with someone, it will become half as great. Live as if Christ died yesterday and will come again today. Christ takes away our sin and gives His salvation in return. Christ gave everything for us. Do we give everything for Him? We must dedicate ourselves to God every day, not just once in our lives. When Christians take on a task together, the burden is shared, and the result is multiplied by everyone. Family affairs are God's affairs. Freedom gives us the right to do not as we want, but as God wants. God's heirs cannot help but be interested in the work that the Father has left them. If we do not expose sin, we encourage it. We can get through anything if we know that Jesus is walking with us. He who justifies his sin will never be justified for his sins. If you avoid sin, you will never fall into it. God can give you everything you need, just let Him give it to you. If you know Christ as Savior, you have nothing to fear from Him as Judge. If you look only at God, you will see the whole world more clearly. The greatest joy on earth is the sure hope of heaven. The more you love Christ, the more you will strive for heaven. When we glorify Christ with our lives, even our silence speaks volumes. It’s in vain that we hide our sin - then it turns out that we have warmed a snake on our chests. Only God has the right to say who is right and who is wrong. Believers are like coals: together they glow with heat, but separately they die out. What someone's life is worth is determined by the One who gives life. Without labor there is no fruit. With difficulty - it happens, and sometimes! Only he who believes is obedient, only he who obeys believes. (Dietrich Bonhoeffer) We cannot live Christian lives in our own strength, in our own willpower. God does not see any other meaning in human life other than to bear fruit. To love God, to truly love Him, means to live according to His commandments, no matter what it costs you. (Charles Colson) I have decided to follow the Lord with all my heart. I also decided: it doesn’t matter whether others are faithful to God, I will be faithful. (Jonathan Edwards) Christlikeness, spiritual maturity, is obedience. (Jerry White) Our relationship with our Heavenly Father, although secure, is not static. He wants His children to know Him closer and closer. (John Scott) A relationship with God is not lower, but higher than any other. It is not difficult for the God who created this world to reveal Himself to those who sincerely want to know Him. God is where the humble heart is. Those who have encountered God now will have an eternity ahead of them to know Him. All our knowledge about God and everything we need from Him depends very much on how we relate to Christ. (In Griffith Thomas) When we accept Jesus Christ, holiness begins. When we revere Christ, holiness increases. But when we cannot even imagine life without Christ, this is complete holiness. (J. Hudson Taylor) A relationship with God begins with fear, which leads us to security, confidence and joy in His love. You can distinguish the right fear of God from the wrong one if you look at where this fear leads you - closer to God or further from Him. To know God more and more closely means to love what He loves and to hate what He hates. You can be sure of one thing. Your relationship with the Lord will change - either for the better or for the worse, but it will definitely change. Knowing that Christ died is history. Believing that He died for me is salvation. We are saved not by effort, but by faith. We find the strength we need in the one whom the Father sent to give us the fullness of life.

Anyone who lives according to the canons of Jesus accepts all His will as a good deed.
