“Then we will no longer be like children, forever changing our
minds about what we believe because someone has told us something different or
has cleverly lied to us and made the lie sound like the truth. Instead, We
Will Lovingly Follow The Truth At All Times—Speaking Truly, Dealing Truly,
Living Truly—and so become more and more in every way like Christ who is
the Head of his body, the Church.
To: ALL WHO HAVE EARS TO HEAR
From: GOD THE FATHER, THE LORD
JESUS CHRIST HIS SON and Ministered through the HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD, The Helper, that He may be
with you forever. [John 14:16]
Subject: MY WORD; John 1:1 (NKJV) 1 In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God, and the
Word was God. John
1:14 (NKJV) 14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us,
and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full
of grace and truth.
Ephesians 4:1–32 (The Living Bible) 1 I
beg you—I, a prisoner here in jail for serving the Lord—to live and act in a
way worthy of those who have been chosen for such wonderful blessings as these.
2 Be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance
for each other’s faults because of your love. 3 Try always to be led
along together by the Holy Spirit and so be at peace with one another. 4
We are all parts of one body, we have the same Spirit, and we have all been
called to the same glorious future. 5 For us there is only one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 and
we all have the same God and Father who is over us all and in us all, and
living through every part of us. 7 However, Christ has given
each of us special abilities—whatever he wants us to have out of his rich storehouse
of gifts. 8 The psalmist tells about this, for he says that when
Christ returned triumphantly to heaven after his resurrection and victory over
Satan, he gave generous gifts to men. 9 Notice that it says he
returned to heaven. This means that he had first come down from the heights of
heaven, far down to the lowest parts of the earth. 10 The same one
who came down is the one who went back up, that he might fill all things
everywhere with himself, from the very lowest to the very highest. 11
Some of us have been given special
ability as apostles; to others he has given the gift of being able to preach
well; some have special ability in winning people to Christ, helping them to
trust him as their Savior; still others have a gift for caring for God’s people
as a shepherd does his sheep, leading and teaching them in the ways of God. 12
Why is it that he gives us these special
abilities to do certain things best? It is that God’s people will be equipped
to do better work for him, building up the Church, the body of Christ, to a
position of strength and maturity; 13 until finally we all
believe alike about our salvation and about our Savior, God’s Son, and all
become full-grown in the Lord—yes, to the point of being filled full with
Christ. 14 Then we will no longer be like children, forever changing
our minds about what we believe because someone has told us something different
or has cleverly lied to us and made the lie sound like the truth. 15
Instead, we will lovingly follow the
truth at all times—speaking truly, dealing truly, living truly—and so become
more and more in every way like Christ who is the Head of his body, the Church.
Under his direction, the whole body is fitted together perfectly, and each part
in its own special way helps the other parts, so that the whole body is healthy
and growing and full of love. 17 Let me say this, then, speaking for
the Lord: Live no longer as the unsaved do, for they are blinded and confused.
Their closed hearts are full of darkness; they are far away from the life of
God because they have shut their minds against him, and they cannot understand
his ways. 19 They don’t care anymore about right and wrong and have
given themselves over to impure ways. They stop at nothing, being driven by
their evil minds and reckless lusts. 20 But that isn’t the way
Christ taught you! 21 If you
have really heard his voice and learned from him the truths concerning himself,
22 then throw off your old evil nature—the old you that was a
partner in your evil ways—rotten through and through, full of lust and sham. 23
Now your attitudes and thoughts must all be constantly changing for the better.
24 Yes, you must be a new and different person, holy and good.
Clothe yourself with this new nature. 25 Stop lying to each other;
tell the truth, for we are parts of each other and when we lie to each other we
are hurting ourselves. 26 If you are angry, don’t sin by nursing
your grudge. Don’t let the sun go down with you still angry—get over it
quickly; 27 for when you are angry, you give a mighty foothold to
the devil. 28 If anyone is stealing he must stop it and begin using
those hands of his for honest work so he can give to others in need. 29
Don’t use bad language. Say only what is good and helpful to those you are
talking to, and what will give them a blessing. 30 Don’t cause the Holy Spirit sorrow by the
way you live. Remember, he is the one who marks you to be present on that day
when salvation from sin will be complete. 31 Stop being mean,
bad-tempered, and angry. Quarreling, harsh words, and dislike of others should
have no place in your lives. 32 Instead, be kind to each other,
tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God has forgiven you because you
belong to Christ.

Living God to give you the interpretation.
2 Peter 1:16–21
(Williams) 16 For it was not mere stories of fancy
that we followed when we told you of the power and coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17 For when He
received such honor and glory from God the Father, when from the majestic glory
there was borne to Him a voice like this, “This is my Son, my Beloved, in whom
I take delight.” 18 we heard this voice ourselves borne from heaven
while we were with Him on that sacred mountain. 19 So we have the
message of the prophets more certainly guaranteed. Please pay attention to this message as to a
lamp that is shining in a dismal place, until the day dawns and the morning
star rises in your hearts; 20 because you recognize this truth above
all else, that no prophecy in Scripture
is to be interpreted by one’s own mind, 21 for no prophecy has
ever yet originated in man’s will, but men who were led by the Holy Spirit
spoke from God.]
Philippians 2:9–11 (The Living
Bible) 9 Yet it was because of this that God raised him up to the heights
of heaven and gave him a name which is above every other name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee shall
bow in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue
shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
