Fighter Verse Songs

Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.

1 Timothy 4:12

There are some good verses in the Bible that talk about the blessings of wisdom that comes from old age, but this verse (along with a few others) indicates that we should not assume that a young person can’t also be someone we look to as an example of how a Christian should live.

This verse tells young person – be the kind of young man or woman that older Christians can see good in.

In the way you talk, in how you act, in the way you show love and faith and in how you stay pure.

Don’t be discouraged by doubts, and earn trust.

===

Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.
John 3:36

Here and many other places in the Word of God, there are two thing that a person must do to have eternal life.

They must believe in the Son of God, Jesus Christ as the one and only Savior
They must obey this Son of God – to avoid God’s wrath.

Do you want life, even eternal life? Believe in and Obey Jesus.

Sung by Adelyn, Barrett and Scott Jamison

===

None of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself. For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s.
Romans 14:7-9

These verses aren’t talking about everyone, but those who are the Lord’s.

Are you in the Lord’s hands? When you die, will you die to the Lord?

Repent and believe in him.
Obey him and live for him.

Song by Phil Carlson

===

And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.

Hebrews 11:6

We can’t stumble into doing something that pleases God. You don’t please God by accident.

For oneness with the Creator, you must have faith. You must believe.

You must believe in God and you must believe in Grace

===

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus

Romans 3:23-24

Verse three here is one of the more well know Bible verses, but we can thank God for verse 24!

We are justified
Not by our our works, but as a gift – by grace.

We have been redeemed.
Our redemption is due to Christ Jesus.

Romans 3:23 is very, very bad news.
Romans 3:24 is very good news that cancels out the bad news of verse 23, for those in Christ Jesus.

Thank God for the good news.

===

I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Galatians 2:20

The connection we have with our savior, Jesus Christ, is strong.

We’ve been crucified with him.
Christ lives in us.
We live by faith in Jesus.

Rejoice! He loves you and gave himself for you.

===

For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:17-18

Here is a promise:
The hard times in this life (and they are sometimes very very hard) are preparing us for heaven and it’s unimaginable glory of God.

So look to the unseen eternal things, not the visible, transient things.

God’s glory is eternal.

===

He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.

1 Peter 2:24

Death to Life
Sin to Righteousness
Wounding to Healing

All because Jesus bore our sins in his body on the tree.

Sung by Tom Dodds – Song by Scott Jamison.

===

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned-every one-to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

Isaiah 53:6

This verse talks about three things all humans have in common. Two are very bad, and one is very good.

1. All have gone astray
2. All have turned to his own way
3. All have had their iniquity laid on our saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Praise God. Thank him for the Good Truth.

===

Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed.

Isaiah 53:4-5

What Jesus had to do for us is a hard reality.

He took our griefs and sorrows. He was stricken, smitten, afflicted, pierced, crushed, chastised and wounded.

But we are borne, carried, healed and given peace. The dark things have been and will all be taken away from us.

That is the Gospel. Praise God. Obey him. Let him save you.
