Part I. Live the New Life

Christ the Center

2 Corinthians 5:17
17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ,
he is a new creation;
the old has gone, the new has come!

Galatians 2:20
20 I have been crucified with Christ
and I no longer live,
but Christ lives in me.
The life I live in the body,
I live by faith in the Son of God,
who loved me and gave himself for me.

Obedience to Christ

Romans 12:11
11 Therefore, I urge you, brothers,
in view of God's mercy,
to offer your bodies as living sacrifices,
holy and pleasing to God -
this is your spiritual act of worship.

John 14:21
21 Whoever has my commands and obeys them,
he is the one who loves me.
He who loves me will be loved by my Father,
and I too will love him and show myself to him."

The Word

2 Timothy 3:16
16 All Scripture is God-breathed
and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting
and training in righteousness.
17 so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Joshua 1:88Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth;
meditate on it day and night,
so that you may be careful to do everything written in it.
Then you will be prosperous and successful.

Hebrews 4: 12-13
12 For the word of God is living and active.
Sharper than any double-edged sword,
it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit,
joints and marrow;
it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight.
Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

2 Peter 1: 20-21
20 Above all, you must understand
that no prophecy of Scripture
came about by the prophet's own interpretation.
21 For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man,
but men spoke from God
as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

Prayer

John 15:7
7 If you remain in me,
and my words remain in you,
ask whatever you wish,
and it will be given you.

Philippians 4:6-7
6 Do not be anxious about anything,
but in everything, by prayer and petition,
with thanksgiving,
present your requests to God.
7 And the peace of God,
which transcends all understanding,
will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

James 5:16
16 Therefore confess your sins to each other
and pray for each other so that you may be healed.
The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective

Fellowship

Matthew 18:20
20 For where two or three come together in my name,
there am I with them."

Hebrews 10:24-25
24 And let us consider how we may spur one another
on toward love and good deeds.
25 Let us not give up meeting together,
as some are in the habit of doing,
but let us encourage one another-
and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

Ecclesiastes 4: 9-10, 12
9 Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their work:
10 If one falls down, his friend can help him up.
But pity the man who falls
and has no one to help him up!
12 Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

Witnessing

Matthew 4:19
19 "Come, follow me," Jesus said,
"and I will make you fishers of men."

Romans 1:16
16 I am not ashamed of the gospel,
because it is the power of God
for the salvation of everyone who believes:
first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.
