Notes:
You don’t need to say I’m sorry. God asked us to change. Repent and say I am changed.
Know what biblical sorry is (repentence) vs. just being sorry.
Where were you spiritually last year? How much closer are you to Christ?
This is not a religion of excuse, but a religion of commitment.
Make a commitment and stick with it.
Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
When you are a Christian, you love people who care about Christ.
If you love God, you will be right and do right.
When you hear people say it’s to hard to be Christian, something is wrong. (His commandments are not grievous.)
Don’t take counsel from ungodly people.
There is not two sides to a story, there’s only truth.
I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
