Christian living
is as easy as A B C.
Hebrews 13 Keep
on loving each other as brothers. 2
Do not forget
to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels
without knowing it. 3
Remember
those in prison as if you were their fellow prisoners, and those who are
mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.
4
Marriage
should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge
the adulterer and all the sexually immoral. 5
Keep your
lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because
God has said,
“Never
will I leave you;
never
will I forsake you.”a
6
So we say
with confidence,
“The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.
What
can man do to me?”b
7
Remember your
leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way
of life and imitate their faith. 8
Jesus Christ
is the same yesterday and today and forever.
9
Do not be
carried away by all kinds of strange teachings. It is good for our hearts to
be strengthened by grace, not by ceremonial foods, which are of no value to
those who eat them. 10
We have an
altar from which those who minister at the tabernacle have no right to eat.
11
The high
priest carries the blood of animals into the
Most Holy Place
as a sin offering, but the bodies are burned outside the camp. 12
And so Jesus
also suffered outside the city gate to make the people holy through his own
blood. 13
Let us, then,
go to him outside the camp, bearing the disgrace he bore. 14
For here we
do not have an enduring city, but we are looking for the city that is to come.
15
Through
Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the
fruit of lips that confess his name. 16
And do not
forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is
pleased. [1]
A. Act like you
love each other. Love each other with Christian love. Loving you, it’s the right thing to do.
Love is a choice and an action. Act
like you love.
B. Be hospitable
to strangers and angels.
C. Care for those
who are suffering in jail. Share with the prisoners and with the
suffering.
D. Designer Living
by God for God. We desire the
best God has to offer. Give honor to marriage.
This is God’s design for the living.
Then you will live.
E. Emulate Christ.
Remember to love God and not money.
F. Filled with
God’s Gifts. I have no need.
Be satisfied with what you have. God
is my helper.
G. Guided by the
light of the Lord’s leaders. Remember
your leaders and trust the Lord as they do.
Don’t miss the forest for the trees.
Don’t miss the point.
H.
He is the great I am. He
is our God. Jesus Christ is the
same. So don’t be misled by new
ideas.
I.
IGTHOS Greek for
Jesus Christ God’s Son Savior. Jesus’
sacrifice for us was outside the city gates. Many early Christians were
persecuted and forced to worship secretly. The fish symbol served as a secret
form of communication. Often the persecuted Christians would scratch this
symbol on the ground to identify themselves to fellow believers.
Soon, Christians began to attach meaning to the word
"fish" itself. The Greek letters for ichthus (meaning
"fish", pronounced "ICK-THOOS") became an acronym:
I=Jesus; X=Christ; O=God's; Y=Son; E=Savior.
J.
Just passing through. We
have a heaven ward purpose. This
world is not our home.
K.
King of my life. Offer our
sacrifice of praise to God who is our King of kings.
“The Lord is my
helper; I will not be afraid.
L.
Live it. Do good and to
share with those in need. These
sacrifices are very pleasing to God.
Philippians 4:13 I
can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
If you agree with the Lord concerning the best way of life, then accept
his challenge and live with Him now and forever.
Ask Him and allow Him to work through you.
