Led by the Spirit

Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation--but it is not to the sinful nature, to live according to it. For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live, because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

Romans 8:12-14 NIV


But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also. And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

Matthew 5:39-42 KJV


And He said to them, "Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, who will not receive many times as much at this time and in the age to come, eternal life."

Luke 18:29,30 NASB


So put to death the sinful, earthly things lurking within you. Have nothing to do with sexual sin, impurity, lust, and shameful desires. Don't be greedy for the good things of this life, for that is idolatry. God's terrible anger will come upon those who do such things. You used to do them when your life was still part of this world. But now is the time to get rid of anger, rage, malicious behavior, slander, and dirty language.

Colossians 3:5-8 NLT

He Is the Friend who sticks closer than a brother...

O You who hear prayer,
To You all men come.

Iniquities prevail against me;
As for our transgressions,
You forgive them.

How blessed is the one whom You choose
and bring near to You
To dwell in Your courts.

We will be satisfied with the goodness
of Your house, Your holy temple.

Psalm 65:2-4 NASB


The LORD is far from the wicked:
but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.

Proverbs 15:29 KJV


But I call to God,
and the LORD saves me.
Evening, morning and noon
I cry out in distress,
and he hears my voice.

Psalm 55:16:17 NIV
