Feb 5: Jesus' Commands Regarding Relationships

Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other.

Do to others as you would have them do to you.

Take last place and be the servant of everyone else.

Love your enemies. Do good to them.

Be compassionate.

SEP 3: Entering the Kingdom

Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.

Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit...You must be born again.

Matt. 7:13-14, Mark 10:15, John 3:5,7, NIV

Put your hope in the Lord.
For there is faithful love with the Lord,
and with him is redemption in abundance.

Rejoice in hope; be patient in affliction.

The darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining.

The world with its lust is passing away, but the one who does God's will remains forever.

Always fear the Lord.
For then you will have a future,
and your hope will never fade.
