Five Points For The Growing Christian (#135)

Bible version used: NAS

READ DAILY YOUR BIBLE
Read daily your Bible, if you would be strong
To witness for Jesus and overcome wrong;
“I’m busy” you say, as you lay it aside
But when you neglect it you’ll surely backslide.

As new born babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that you may grow thereby. 1 Peter 2:2

KEEP LOOKING TO JESUS
Keep looking to Jesus, He never can fail
And walk in His footsteps in every detail;
The world’s bright attractions will fade from sight
When you look to Jesus, your Saviour and Light.

And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father by him. Colossians 3:17

PRAY WITHOUT CEASING
Pray without ceasing, you can count on Him
Who cleanses and keeps you a victor o’er sin;
There’s nothing so great that our God cannot do,
And nothing so small that He won’t do for you.

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. Luke 11:9

CONFESS HIM TO OTHERS
Confess Him to others, be bold for your King
To those who are living in darkness and sin;
What help can you better to all recommend,
Than this blessed Jesus—the needy one’s Friend?

Whoever shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. Matthew 10:32

DO SOMETHING FOR JESUS
Do something for Jesus, He did all for you,
Your joy is complete when His will you do;
So seeking to please Him through each new day
His presence shall gladden each step of your way.

But be doers of the word and not hearers only. James 1:22

And so, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. And beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity.
And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful.
Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God.
And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father. Colossians 3:12-16 NAS
