Since We Are Christians

The Motive of the Christian Life

Leonhard Euler(1707-1783)

Seeking Things Above(Colossians 3:1)

If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at

the right hand of God. (NKJV)

Seeking Things Above(Colossians 2:12-13)

buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. And you,

being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive

together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, (NKJV)

Seeking Things Above(Romans 6:3-4)

Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His

death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the

Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. (NKJV)

Seeking Things Above(Romans 2:7-11) eternal life to those who by

patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality; but to those who are self-

seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness--indignation and wrath,

tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the

Greek; but glory, honor, and peace to everyone who works what is good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For there is no partiality with God.

Seeking Things Above(Philippians 4:8)

Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are

just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there

is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy--meditate on these things. (NKJV)

Seeking Things Above(2 Corinthians 4:18)

while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which

are not seen are eternal. (NKJV)

Seeking Things Above(Psalms 27:4)

One thing I have desired of the LORD, That will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the LORD All

the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the LORD, And to inquire in His temple. (NKJV)

Keep Yourself in the Love of God"We take the position that a Christian's sins do

not damn his soul. The way a Christian lives, what he says, his character, his conduct, or his

attitude toward other people have nothing whatever to do with the salvation of his

souls...And all the sins he may commit from murder to idolatry will not make his soul in any

more danger.” – Sam Morris

Keep Yourself in the Love of

God“If I killed my wife and mother and

debauched a thousand women I couldn't go to hell--in fact, I couldn't go

to hell if I wanted to.“ – Bill Foster

George Sodoni

Keep Yourself in the Love of God(John 10:28)

"And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them

out of My hand. (NKJV)

Keep Yourself in the Love of God(1 Peter 1:5)

who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last

time. (NKJV)

Keep Yourself in the Love of God(Hebrews 12:14-16) Pursue peace with all

people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: looking carefully lest anyone fall

short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled; lest there be any

fornicator or profane person like Esau, who for one morsel of food sold his birthright. (NKJV)

Keep Yourself in the Love of God(Galatians 5:4)

You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have

fallen from grace. (NKJV)

“…he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life…” (John 5:24)

“…if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.“ (John 8:24)

“…Repent, and believe in the gospel.” (Mark 1:15)

“…whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven.” (Mat. 10:32-33)

"He who believes and is baptized will be saved…” (Mark 16:16)

“You are My friends if you do whatever I command you…” (John 15:14 – live a faithful life)

(Matthew 10:22) "…he who endures to the end will be saved.”
