1. To obey the leading of the Holy Spirit. 2. To also obey His leading, and to live my life as truthfully as I can, and be a witness to others of His saving grace. To praise God at all times.

1. No. 2. I'm not sure how valuable I am but I am here for a purpose and Christ died for me, so I am of some value to Him. 3. My balance sheet and financial assets are worthless. 4. Living each day in the will of God. 5. Because I want to be a true child of God.

1. Sometimes people's judgment is good and sometimes bad. If the judgment is right it causes us to seek righteousness. If judgment is bad that will fall back on those who judge. 2. "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life." 3. It is the leverage of the Gospel. 4. Complacency happens.

These questions are hard! 1. Purity. 2. Being alert to making Godly decisions in everyday living. 3. Obedience is greater than sacrifice. 4. Not letting "compromise" enter into my decision making.

1. The need to get my life in order. 2. The hope of the gift of eternal life with God. 3. Knowing we will be judged for all our actions here on earth. 4. We become complacent and that could result in becoming "worldly".

The basis of Christian joy is "knowing" in your heart that Jesus is The Christ, The Messiah, The Son of the Living God. This joy is not entirely emotional. This joy can bring on an emotional response, but it doesn't have to. The pursuit of "happiness" is related more to what is acquired from carnal means. The "joy of the Lord" will never leave you for it is the Holy Spirit dwelling within you.

Yes, I have been "thru' the fire" a number of times and God is right there with me. I know He will never leave me!

Forgiveness is the "action" and obedience is the "result" of that "action.

God does it all. My part is to believe.

Hello, my name is Suzzanne. I stumbled onto this site and decided I would like to be a part of a Bible Study. I'm from Ohio. I hope I can keep up with all you Bible students. I'm just learning. Thanks.

Forgiveness is the "action" and Obedience is the "effect" of that action. That is why I think they go together.
