💥 Podcast: God's instruction to Noah and his sons after the flood

 

(This podcast was previously published on August 20, 2021) 

 

Genesis 9

1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.

2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.

3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.

4 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.

5 And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man.

6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made HE man.

💥💥💥

Genesis 9

18 And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.

19 These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.

(All humans descended from Noah and his 3 sons, Shem, Ham, Japeth)

💥💥💥

The curse upon Ham:

Genesis 9

20  And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:

21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.

22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.

23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.

24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.

25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.

💥💥💥

From the beginning of man, disobedience toward God was exhibited through man.  By the time of Noah, God saw what man was and it was described as follows:

Genesis 6:5   And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

v.11  The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.

Many people like to think that man is basically good.  But the opposite is shown in the Bible.  Most men are basically evil for the imaginations of the thoughts of their heart is only evil continually, as stated by God.

Humans often exalt other humans and call them good but the Bible show us the opposite.

Occasionally a righteous man would rise up, such and Noah, and God would save that righteous man.

But mostly humans are evil as shown us by the Bible.

💥💥💥

Humans do the works of the flesh of man:

Galatians 6

19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

20 Idolatry, witchcraft (following various superstitions), hatred, variance (to vary/argue), emulations (to exalt themselves above others), wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

The answer for man came with Jesus Christ who said:

John 3:7  Ye must be born again.

God reveals HIMSELF to us and causes us to be changed from that which we once were.

II Corinthians 5:17   Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

God gives us HIS own Spirit, the Holy Spirit, who lives in us to teach us and guide us and show us what to do.

And as we walk in the Spirit, doing the will of God shown to us by the Holy Spirit, we keep our flesh under control so it no longer does what it wants to do.

If we walk in the Spirit, following that which is brought to our mind by the Holy Spirit of God, we have no condemnation.  

Romans 8:1   There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

So by choosing the way of the Spirit we overcome our own flesh and keep our flesh crucified, not letting our flesh do what it wants to do.

The flesh never improves.  We just keep it under the control of the Spirit as we walk in the ways shown us by the Spirit.

And when we choose the way of the Spirit we will automatically produce the fruits of the Spirit.

Galatians 5:22-23   But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance:

It is not that we learn to do the works of the Spirit.  Because the Spirit lives in us, HE brings thoughts to our mind and we do that which HE shows us.  And when we do that which the Spirit brings to mind, our righteousness is of God because it is God who authored our righteousness through HIS Spirit.

Therefore in all things, we pray, asking God to help us and to show us what to do.

We put our trust in God rather than trusting in our own selves.

When the problems come in this life, we turn to God and follow what HE shows us in the matter at hand.

Thus we are a totally different person from that one who was born in the flesh.  Now we are born in the Spirit.

I Corinthians 3:16  Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

We are the church.

Now God gives us HIS Word and we follow HIM.

I Corinthians 10:6-11  Now these things (in the Old Testament) were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.

7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.

8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.

10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.

11 Now all these things happened unto them for examples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

💥 II John (Reading through the Bible)

 

The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;

² For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever.

³ Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

⁴ I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.

⁵ And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.

⁶ And this is love, that we walk after His commandments. 

This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.

⁷ For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

(I think this has something to do with thinking you do not have to do the commandments of God today. It is definitely antichrist to fall away from scripture.  II Thessalonians 3-4)

⁸ Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.

⁹ Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.

¹⁰ If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:

¹¹ For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

¹² Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.

¹³ The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.

💥 Podcast: Prove all things; Hold fast that which is good (I Thess. 5:21)

 

(This podcast was previously published on August 18, 2021) 

 

As a new Christian in 1975, my young friend and I began looking for the scripture where it says all men are created equal.

We couldn't find that in the Bible.

So we went to a man who was a professor at Dallas Theological Seminary and asked him where this is in the Bible.

He said:  "That statement is not in the Bible."

We were shocked!

(Seems that I have heard this statement all my life.)

💥💥💥

The New Testament Bible is the rule book for the New Testament church.  All scripture is inspired by God and by scripture we can know the will of God for the church as we live on this present earth.

We prove all things by the scriptures and through prayer over these scriptures.

So if you want to know what God says about a subject, look up the scriptures on that subject in the New Testament Bible and compare scripture with scriptures.

For example:

Paul says the following scripture is a "commandment of the Lord".

I Corinthians 7:10-11  And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:  But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.

In the New Testament Bible, there is only one grounds for a man to divorce his wife.  Jesus shows us this in the following scripture.

Matthew 5:32   But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.

A man in our little church group filed divorce papers against his wife.

When I heard about this, I asked him, "Was your wife unfaithful?"

He said, "No."

I replied:  "The only scriptural reason for a man to divorce his wife is Matthew 5:32.  The unfaithful wife can be divorced without penalty for the husband who divorces her."

Apparently this man carefully considered what Jesus said in Matthew 5:32 to the men concerning divorcing their wives, because this man withdrew the divorce proceedings from the US court system.

Jesus says:

* If a man divorces a faithful wife and that faithful wife remarries, he will be the cause of the adultery she commits when she remarries.

and

* The man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

If a man is unfaithful, can his wife divorce him?  No.  For I Corinthians 7:10-11 says it is a commandment of the Lord that the wife not leave her husband, "but and if she departs let her remain unmarried or be reconciled with her husband."

You must compare scripture with scripture:

And you must pray and follow the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit will not tell you to do something that is contrary to the New Testament Bible.

Antichrist spirit will try to get us to go in a way opposite to the New Testament Bible so we will be separate from God and follow antichrist.  

Antichrist always wants to rule over the church and take us from scripture.

II Thessalonians 2:3-4  Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

💥💥💥

A woman called me wanting to come talk with me about her mother's second husband.

God said to me:  "Just follow the scriptures.  The circumstances are not important."

💥💥💥

Scriptures concerning divorce and remarriage:

I Corinthians 7:10-11

Matthew 5:32

Mark 10:1-12

Romans 7:2-3

I Corinthians 7:39

I Corinthians 6:15-18  (how we become "one flesh")

💥💥💥

Concerning homosexuals and lesbians:

Romans 1:26-28

Mark 10:6

I Thessalonians 5:1-3

Old Testament: sodomites / homosexuals:

Genesis 13:13

Genesis 19:1-25

2 Peter 2:6-9  (destruction of Sodom an example for New Testament church)

I Kings 22:46

I Kings 15:12

II Kings 23:7

I Kings 14:24

Some individuals say they were born homosexual.

When I asked God about this, HE called the following to my attention:

Mark 10:6  But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.

Also we see from Romans 1:26 that God turned them over to "vile affections".  Also in Romans 1:28  "to do that which is not convenient." 

💥💥💥💥💥

💥 Scriptures:

Psalms 127:1  (A Song of degrees for Solomon.)  Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. 

 

 ***

 

James 5:19-20  Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;

 

20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.

 

***

 

1 Corinthians 2:6  Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:

 

7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:

 

***

 

Proverbs 31:30  Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.

 

***

 

Psalm 100:1-5  Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.

 

2 Serve the LORD with gladness: come before HIS presence with singing.

 

3 Know ye that the LORD HE is God: it is HE that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are HIS people, and the sheep of HIS pasture.

 

4 Enter into HIS gates with thanksgiving, and into HIS courts with praise: be thankful unto HIM, and bless HIS name.

 

5 For the LORD is good; HIS mercy is everlasting; and HIS truth endureth to all generations. 

 

***

 

Ephesians 4:1-3  Paul said: I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, 

 

2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; 

 

3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

💥 I John 5 (Reading through the Bible)

 

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.

(Jesus, the Word, is the Messiah.  We are saved by the Word when we believe the Word and act on that scripture.)

² By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep His commandments.

³ For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments: and His commandments are not grievous.

⁴ For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

⁵ Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

⁶ This is He that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.

⁷ For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

⁸ And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water (the Word), and the blood: and these three agree in one.

⁹ If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which He hath testified of His Son.

¹⁰ He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made Him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of His Son.

¹¹ And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.  (the Word)

¹² He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

¹³ These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

¹⁴ And this is the confidence that we have in Him, that, if we ask any thing according to His will, HE heareth us:
¹⁵ And if we know that HE hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of Him.

¹⁶ If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.

¹⁷ All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.

¹⁸ We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.

¹⁹ And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.

²⁰ And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know Him that is true, and we are in Him that is true, even in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

²¹ Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.

💥 Podcast: After the flood in the days of Noah

 

(This podcast was previously published on August 17, 2021) 

 

It rained on the earth 40 days and 40 nights and all flesh died except for Noah and those in the ark with him.

After the flood, God dried the land from the waters and brought Noah and all living creatures out of the ark, and God made a covenant with Noah.

Genesis 8

20 And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.

21 And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in HIS heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.

22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

Genesis 9

12 And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between ME and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:

13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.

(God's bow:  the rainbow)

14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:

15 And I will remember MY covenant, which is between ME and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

💥💥💥

So the generations of men continued on this earth until this present day.

But we know the day of judgment comes with the second coming of Jesus.

Matthew 24   Jesus says:

29  Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

(They mourn because they know all that they built on this earth for themselves will be destroyed.)

31 And HE (Jesus) shall send HIS angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together HIS elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

The elect of God will be taken into heaven where they will meet Jesus and those who are risen from the dead and they will be taken to the new heaven and the new earth, the new Jerusalem, which is created by God for them, wherein dwelleth only righteousness.

💥💥💥

I Thessalonians 4

13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep (dead), that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him.

15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent (go before) them which are asleep.

16 For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

💥💥💥

Revelation 21

1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and HE will dwell with them, and they shall be HIS people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God.

4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

5 And HE that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.

💥💥💥💥💥

💥 Scriptures:

 

Psalm 42:5  Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise HIM for the help of HIS countenance.

 

 ***

 

Proverbs 17:27  He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.

 

***

 

Psalm 111:10  The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do HIS commandments: HIS praise endureth for ever.

 

***  

 

Psalm 30:4-5  Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of HIS, and give thanks at the remembrance of HIS holiness.

 

5 For HIS anger endureth but a moment; in HIS favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

 

***

 

Proverbs 25:21-22  If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:

 

22 For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD shall reward thee.

💥 I John 4 (Reading through the Bible)

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

² Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

(I think this means those who confess the scriptures.)

³ And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

⁴ Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is HE that is in you, than he that is in the world.

⁵ They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.

⁶ We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

⁷ Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

⁸ He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

⁹ In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.

(We live through Jesus, the Word, as we do that Word brought to our minds by the Holy Spirit.)

¹⁰ Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that HE loved us, and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

¹¹ Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

¹² No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and His love is perfected in us.

¹³ Hereby know we that we dwell in Him, and HE in us, because HE hath given us of His Spirit.

¹⁴ And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.

¹⁵ Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.

¹⁶ And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

¹⁷ Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as HE is, so are we in this world.

¹⁸ There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

¹⁹ We love Him, because HE first loved us.

²⁰ If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

²¹ And this commandment have we from Him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

💥 Podcast: Today the scoffers deliberately forget the way the heavens and the earth were destroyed by water in the days of Noah

 

(This podcast was previously published on August 16, 2021) 

 

2 Peter 3

1 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:

2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:

3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,

4 And saying, Where is the promise of HIS coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:

6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:

7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

9 The Lord is not slack concerning HIS promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

Genesis 6

5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

6 And it repented the LORD that HE had made man on the earth, and it grieved HIM at HIS heart.

7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth ME that I have made them.

8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.

9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.

10 And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.

12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted HIS way upon the earth.

(Remember that God looked upon HIS creation at the end of the sixth day and God saw that it was very good ... but man corrupted God's way and polluted the creation, including himself.)

13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before ME; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.

22 Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.

💥💥💥

Genesis 7

1 And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before ME in this generation.

2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.

3 Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.

4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.

💥💥💥

Genesis 7

12  And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.

17 And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.

18 And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.

19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.

20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.

21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:

22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.

Psalm 37:23-27  The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in HIS way.

 

24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with HIS hand.

 

25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.

 

26 He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.

 

27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.

Titus 2:11-14  For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,

 

12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

 

13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;

 

14 WHO gave HIMSELF for us, that HE might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto HIMSELF a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

Matthew 5:43-48  Jesus says:  Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

 

44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

 

45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for HE maketh HIS sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

 

46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?

 

47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?

 

48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

💥 I John 3 (Reading through the Bible)

 

Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew Him not. 

² Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is.

³ And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as He is pure.

⁴ Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

⁵ And ye know that He was manifested to take away our sins; and in Him is no sin.

⁶ Whosoever abideth in Him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen Him, neither known Him.

⁷ Little children, let no man deceive you: He that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as He is righteous.

⁸ He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. 

For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.

⁹ Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for His seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

¹⁰ In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

¹¹ For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.

¹² Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.

¹³ Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.

¹⁴ We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.

¹⁵ Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

¹⁶ Hereby perceive we the love of God, because He laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

¹⁷ But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

¹⁸ My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

¹⁹ And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him.

²⁰ For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.

²¹ Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.²² And whatsoever we ask, we receive of Him, because we keep His commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in His sight.

²³ And this is His commandment, That we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as He gave us commandment.

²⁴ And He that keepeth His commandments dwelleth in Him, and He in him. And hereby we know that He abideth in us, by the Spirit which He hath given us.
