Fighter Verse Songs

You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me, yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life.

John 5:39-40

===

Jesus is in the old testament.
He is the way to eternal life. And he was the way for centuries before he was born.

Come to Him. Search the scriptures and find Him.

===

By Jeff Warren

Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men. For as by the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man’s obedience the many will be made righteous.

Romans 5:18-19

===

Holy mathematics – One to many::

One trespass –> All men get condemnation
One act of righteousness –> All men get justification and life
One man’s disobedience –> Many made sinners
One man’s obedience –> Many made righteous

Thank God for His justice and mercy.

By Becki Warnock

So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

1 Corinthians 10:31

===

So basic – so clear – so helpful.

Can you do it to the glory of God?

No: Then don’t do it.
Yes: Then make sure you do it that way.

===

By Scott Jamison

Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Matthew 6:19-21

===

Where is your treasure? Where is your heart?

They are pointed towards the same place.

In what ways are you focused on the eternal, the holy, and the incorruptible?
In what ways are you focused on the temporary and the breakable?

Lay up for yourself Treasures In Heaven.

Guitar by Phil Carlson. Song and sung by Scott Jamison

Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.

Proverbs 31:30

===

It must be pointed out that here is a place where a human of a certain type (not God!) is to be praised. So we should take note – who should be praised.

Not a charming person, not a beautiful person, but a woman who fears the LORD.

Praise her, because she praises God.

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you. Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding, which must be curbed with bit and bridle, or it will not stay near you.

Psalm 32:8-9

===

What is going to take to curb you?
You don’t want to be as mindless and undisciplined as a wild animal, like a horse.

You want to be the wise sort that sees the wisdom of obeying God and having the discipline to follow his way.

And then he won’t have to pull you in with training tools.

I Corinthians 13:4-7

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

===

What is Love?

Obviously there is so much meaning in that word that it’s impossible to fully define. But that doesn’t stop Paul from trying.

And it’s a very helpful description – with lots of room for application. Can you apply these words to how your treat your spouse, or your kids, or coworker, or fellow church goers, or … your enemy?

Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Matthew 5:11-12

===

Are you experiencing what the true prophets experienced? What the apostles experienced?

Are you suffering because of your relationship with Jesus?
If so, it’s hard, but there is benefit: Your heavenly reward will be great.
And there is good news – you are in good company.

===

Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 5:7-10

===

Jesus is telling us what kind of people we should be.
Jesus, the Son of God and Saviour of the World, is showing us what our mindset should be and how we should think.

We should listen to His words, right? He knows. He is trustworthy.

So what kinds of people should we be?
Merciful
Pure in Heart,
Peacemakers,
Willing to be persecuted for being righteous.

And what does Jesus say will be our blessings if we do?
We will receive mercy, and see God and be called sons of God and obtain the kingdomw of heaven.

Very good motivators – very good reward.

Are you moving in these directions?

===

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. 5Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. 6Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.

Matthew 5:3-6

===

These are striking words and not how humanity usually thinks.

No, we think, people who are poor in spirit, or who are mourning are not blessed.
and it’s the aggressive and evil who get their way in this world.

But Jesus, our savior and our God says differently. He says that God is more in touch with those who are poor in spirit and those who are mourning. And he wants his children to be meek and to seek after righteousness. He promises good thing for those who point this way.

So allow God and His Son’s words to point you this way.
