Mind-of-Christ

The Mind of Christ

Before you begin your Bible study, as a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, be

sure you have named your sins privately to God the Father.

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and

to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. [Known, Unknown and Forgotten sins]

(1Jn 1:9)

You will then be in fellowship with God, Filled with God the Holy Spirit and

ready to learn Truth from the Word of God.

God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in Spirit and Truth.

(John 4:24)

The Old Sin Nature

Illustration

Therefore, just as through one man [Adam] sin entered into the world, and

[Spiritual] death through sin, and so death [The old sin nature] spread to all

men, because all sinned. (Rom 5:12)

As it is Written, There is none righteous, not even one; There is none who

understands, there is none who seeks for God; All have turned aside,

together they have become useless; There is none who does good, there is

not even one. (Rom 3:10-12)

For all of us have become like one who is unclean, And all our righteous

deeds are like a filthy garment; And all of us wither like a leaf, And our

iniquities, like the wind, take us away. (Isa 64:6)

And He Jesus was saying, That which proceeds out of the man, that is

what defiles the man. For from within out of the heart of men, proceed the

evil thoughts, [Satan’s] fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries, deeds of

coveting and wickedness, [Religion] as well as deceit, sensuality, envy,

slander, pride and foolishness. [Worldly and empty chatter] All these evil

thoughts proceed from within and defile the man. (Mark 7:20-23)

For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the

willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not. (Rom 7:18)

For we know that the Law is Spiritual, but I am of flesh, sold into bondage

to sin. (Rom 7:14)

Because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for

through the Law comes the knowledge of sin. (Rom 3:20)

The Cure

Illustration

But now apart from the Law the righteousness of God has been

manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, [The Old

Testament] even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all

those who believe; for there is no distinction. for all have sinned and fall short

of the glory of God. (Rom 3:21-23)

For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God

did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for

sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, so that the requirement of the Law might

be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh [The old sin nature ]

but according to the Spirit. (Rom 8:3-4)

But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship

the Father in spirit [In fellowship with God the Holy Spirit] (Gal 5:22-23) and

Truth; (1Co 2:16) for such people the father seeks to be His worshipers. God

is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in Spirit and Truth.

(John 4:23-24)

So that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of

water with the Word, that He present to Himself the church in all her glory,

having no spot [False thinking] or wrinkle [Lack of Virtue]or any such thing;

but that she would be holy and blameless. (Eph 5:26-27)

Now therefore, I pray You, if I have found favor in Your sight, let me know

Your Thoughts that I may know You, so that I may find favor in Your sight.

(Exo 33:13)

You shall keep My Thoughts and Practice [Think with] Them; I am the

LORD who sanctifies you. (Lev 20:8)

It shall be a blue tassel for you to look at and remember all the Thoughts

of the LORD, so as to Think with Them, and not follow after your own heart

and your own eyes, after which you played the harlot. (Num 15:39)

So keep and Think Them, for that is your Wisdom and you’re

Understanding in the sight of the peoples who will hear all These Thoughts

and say, Surely this great nation is a Wise and Understanding people.

(Deut 4:6)

Cursed is he who does not confirm the Words of this Law by Thinking with

Them. And all the people shall say, Amen. (Deut 27:26)

Now I Command you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that

you all agree and that there be no divisions among you, and become

Spiritually mature in the Same Mind [The Mind of Christ] and in the Same

Thoughts. (1Co 1:10)

But thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin, you became

obedient from the heart to that form of Teaching to which you were given,

and having been freed from sin, [The old sin nature’s control] you became

slaves of righteousness. [Staying in fellowship with God the Holy Spirit]

(Rom 6:17-18)

Since you have in Obedience to the Truth purified your souls for a sincere

love (Gal 5:22-23) of the brethren, fervently love one from a clean heart.

(1Pe 1:22)

For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent

Promises, so that by Them you may become partakers of the Divine Nature,

having escaped the corruption [The old sin nature] that is in the world by lust.

(2Pe 1:4)

No soldier in active service entangles himself in the thoughts of everyday

life, so that he may please the one who enlisted him as a soldier. (2Ti 2:4)

Cursed be the one who does the LORD’S work inaccurately, and cursed

be the one who does not fight in the battle. (Jer 48:10)

...There is no discharge in time of war... (Eccles 8:8)

The Standard IS Divine Thinking

Illustration

For this reason we also constantly thank God that when you received the

Word of God which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of

men, but for what It really IS, the Word of God, which also performs Its work

in you who believe the Word! (1Th 2:13)

In the exercise of His will He brought us forth by the Word of Truth, so

that we would be a kind of first fruits among His creatures. This you know,

my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and

slow to anger; for the anger of man does not achieve the [Experiential]

righteousness of God. Therefore, putting aside all Filthiness [Sin nature

activity] and all that remains of wickedness, [Satan’s thinking] and in humility

receive the Word implanted, which is able to deliver your souls. [Form the sin

natures’ control]

But prove yourselves Thinkers of the Word not merely hearers who

delude themselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the Word and not a Thinker,

he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror; for once he has

looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of

person he was. But one who looks intently at the Perfect Law, the Law of

liberty, and Thinks with It not having become a forgetful hearer but an

effectual Thinker, this man will be blessed in what he does. (Jas 1:18-25)

And do not think the way this world does, but be transformed by the

renewing of your mind so that you may prove what the will of God is, that

which is good and acceptable and perfect. For through the grace given to me

I say to everyone among you not to think in terms of arrogance but to Think

with humility, as God has given us the Mind of Christ to Think with.

(Rom 12:2-3)

For those who are living by the old sin nature set their minds on the

thoughts of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, the Thoughts

of God the Holy Spirit. For the mind set on the flesh is [Temporal] death,

[Carnality] but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace. For the mind set on

the old sin nature is hostile toward God; for it does not think the Thoughts of

God for it is not able to do so, and those who are thinking by the thoughts of

the old sin nature cannot please God. (Rom 8:5-8)

It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the Words that I

have Spoken to you are Spirit and are life. (John 6:63)

Incline your ear and hear the Words of the wise, and apply your mind to

My Knowledge; for it will be pleasant if you keep My Thoughts within you,

that They may be ready on your lips. So that your trust may be in the LORD.

(Prov 22:17-18)

But you shall speak My Words to them whether they listen or not for they

are rebellious. (Eze 2:7)

For He whom God has sent speaks the Words of God; for He gives the

Spirit without measure. (John 3:34)

God’s FREE Gifts

So that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His

grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus; For by grace you have been

saved through faith; and that [Salvation] is not of yourselves, it is the Gift of

God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. (Eph 2:7-9)

Being justified as a Gift by His grace through the redemption which is in

Christ Jesus. (Rom 3:24)

But the free Gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression

of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God and the Gift by

the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many. The Gift is not

like that which came through the one who sinned; for on the one hand the

judgment arose from one transgression resulting in condemnation, but on the

other hand the free Gift arose from many transgressions resulting in

justification. (Rom 5:15-16)

For the wages of sin is death, [Spiritual and temporal] but the free Gift of

God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our LORD. (Rom 6:23)

All the circumcised believers who came with Peter were amazed, because

the Gift of God the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the gentiles also.

(Acts 10:45)

Therefore if God gave to them the same Gift as He gave us after

believing in the LORD Jesus Christ, who was I that I could stand in Gods

way? (Acts 11:17)

Jesus answered and said to her, If you knew the Gift of God, and who it

is who says to you, give Me a drink, you would have asked Him, and He

would have Given you Living Water. (John 4:10)

Every Good Thought Given and every Perfect Gift is from above, coming

down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or change in

His Nature. (Jas 1:17)

What then is my reward? When I preach the Truth, I may offer the Truth

without charge, so as not to make full use of my right in the Gospel. For

though I am free from all men, I have made myself a slave to all, so that I

may win more. (1Co 9:18-19)

Or did I commit a sin in humbling myself so that you might be exalted,

because I preached the Truth to you without charge. (2Co 11:7)

And now I commend you to God and to the Word of His grace, which is

able to build you up [To Spiritual maturity] and Give you the reward for

reaching Spiritual maturity among those who are sanctified by faith in Christ.

I have coveted no one’s silver or gold or clothes. You yourselves know that

these hands ministered to my own needs and to the men who were with me.

In everything I showed you that by working hard in this manner you must help

the weak and remember the Words of the LORD Jesus, that He Himself said,

It is more blessed to Give than to receive. (Acts 20:32-35)

Just as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit but

the Profit of the many, so that they may be saved. Be Imitators of me! Just

as I also am of Christ. (1Co 10:33; (1Co 11:1)

The carnal believers said to the Spiritually mature believers give us some

of your Holy Spirit for our lamps are going out, But the prudent answered, No,

there will not be enough for us and you too; go instead to the dealers and buy

some for yourselves. (Matt 25:8-9)

But Peter said to him, May your silver perish with you, because you

thought you could obtain the Gift of God with money! You have no part or

portion in this matter, for your heart is not right before God. Therefore

change your mind of thinking with Satan’s thoughts, and pray to the LORD

that if possible the intention of your heart may be forgiven you. For I see that

you are in the gall of bitterness and in the bondage of iniquity. (Acts 8:20-23)

Believers cannot work for or buy Salvation, God the Holy Spirit, Truth,

Spirituality and or Spiritual Gifts of any kind; because they are Free Gifts! So

if believers buy or work for them they see no real growth in their lives — the

Scriptures are watered down, and they starve!

We have to use God’s FREE Spiritual Thoughts only! (1Co 2:10-16)

Then He said to me, It is done I am the Alpha and the Omega, the

beginning and the end. I will Give to the one who thirsts from the springs of

the Water of Life without charge. (Rev 21:6)

The Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let the one who hears say,

Come. And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wishes take the

Water of Life without charge. (Rev 22:17)

For the Gifts and calling of God are irrevocable. (Rom 11:29)

God’s Thoughts vs. false thoughts

But turning around and seeing His disciples, He rebuked Peter and said,

Get behind Me, Satan; for you are not setting your mind on God’s Thoughts,

but man’s. And He summoned the crowd with His disciples, and said to them,

If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny his own thoughts, [Satan’s]

and take up his cross [Old sin nature] and follow Me. [Day and night] For

whoever wishes to save his thoughts will lose My Thoughts, but whoever

loses his life for My sake and the Truth, will have a new nature, and a new

life! [The plan of God the Father, the Mind of Christ, and the Fruit — Virtue of

God the Holy Spirit] For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world,

and forfeit his new life, For what will a man give in exchange for his new life?

For whoever is ashamed of Me and My Words, in this Spiritual cheating and

sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him, [No reward]

when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels. (Mark 8:33-38)

For many believers walk, of whom I told you, and now tell you even

weeping, that they are enemies of the Cross of Christ, whose end is burned

up, [No reward] whose god is their appetite, [Old sin nature] whose glory is in

there shame, [At the Judgment Seat of Christ] who set their minds on earthly

thoughts. (Php 3:18-19)

Thus says the LORD, Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, [Human

thinking] and let not the mighty man boast of his might, let not a rich man

boast of his riches; but let him who boasts boast of this, that he Understands

and Knows Me, that I am the LORD who exercises loving-kindness, justice,

and righteousness on earth; for I delight in these things, declares the LORD.

Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, that I will punish all who

are circumcised [Believers] and yet uncircumcised. [Still living by the lust of

the flesh, lust of the eyes, and the pride of life] (Jer 9:23-25)

My son if you receive My Words and treasure My Commandments and

Think with Them, and make your ear attentive to Wisdom, incline your heart

to Understanding; for if you cry for Discernment, lift up your voice for

Understanding; if you seek Her as silver and search for Her as hidden

treasures; then you will discern being in fellowship with God the Holy Spirit,

and discover the Knowledge of God. For the LORD gives Wisdom; from His

Mouth come Knowledge and Understanding. He stores up sound Wisdom for

the ones in fellowship; He is a shield to those who walk in the integrity of His

Thinking. (Prov 2:1-7)

How blessed is the man who finds Wisdom and the man who gains

Understanding. For Her profit is better than the profit of silver, and Her gain

better than fine gold. She is more precious than jewels; and nothing you

desire compares with Her. (Prov 3:13-15)

The LORD by His Wisdom founded the earth; by His Understanding He

established the heavens. By His Knowledge the deeps were broken up and

the skies drip down with dew. (Prov 3:19-20)

Being in fellowship is the beginning of Wisdom, and the Thinking of the

Holy One IS Understanding. (Prov 9:10)

For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is

Jesus Christ. Now if any man builds on the Foundation with gold, silver,

precious stones, [Gods Thoughts] wood, hay, straw, [Satanic and human

thoughts]each mans work will become evident; for the day will show it

because it is to be revealed with Fire, and the Fire itself will test the quality of

each man’s work. If any man’s work which he has built on it remains, he will

receive a reward. (1Co 3:11-14)

Now I will arise, says the LORD, now I will be exalted; now I will be lifted

up. You have conceived chaff, you will give birth to stubble; My Breath will

consume you like Fire. (Isa 33:10-11)

Let him who has MY Thoughts speak My Word in Truth. What does straw

have in common with grain? declares the LORD, is not My word like a Fire?

Declares the LORD, and like a hammer which shatters a rock?

(Jer 23:28-29)

Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard, and which have not

entered into the heart of man, all that God has prepared for those who love

Him. for to us God revealed Them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches

all Things, even the Depths of God. For who among men knows the thoughts

of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so the Thoughts

of God no one knows except the Spirit of God. Now we have not

received

the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we

may know

the Thoughts freely Given to us by God, which Thoughts we also

speak, not

in words taught by human wisdom, but Those taught by the Spirit,

combining

Spiritual Thoughts with Spiritual Words. (1Co 2:9-13)

But a natural man unbeliever or a believer out of fellowship does not

accept the Thoughts of the Spirit of God for They are foolishness to him; and

he cannot understand Them, because They are Spiritually appraised. But he

who is in fellowship Understands all Spiritual Thoughts, yet he himself is

understood by no one out of fellowship. For who has known the Mind of the

LORD, that he could instruct Him? But we are to Think with the Mind of

Christ. (1Co 2:14-16)

He who disciplines the nations, will He not correct you, even He who

Teaches man Knowledge? The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they

are a mere breath. [Useless] (Psa 94:10-11)

Acknowledge your sins, behold, I will pour out My Spirit on you; I will

make My Words Known to you. (Prov 1:23)

As a result of the anguish of His soul, He will see it and be satisfied; by

His Knowledge the Righteous One, My Servant, will justify the many, as He

will bear their sins. (Isa 53:11)

...Through Knowledge the righteous will be delivered. (Prov 11:9)

My people are destroyed for lack of Knowledge, because you have

rejected Knowledge, I also will reject you from being My priest. (Hos 4:6)

Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming

Obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. (Php 2:8)

...Has the LORD as much delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as in

Obeying the Voice of the LORD? Behold, to Obey is better than sacrifice,

and to Listen and Obey, than the best we can offer. For rebellion is the sin of

demonism, and not Obeying is sin and demon worship. Because you have

rejected the Word of the LORD, He has rejected you from being a king.

(1Sa 15:22-23)

And Jesus said to him Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh

and blood did not reveal This to you, but My Father who is in heaven. I also

say to you that you are Peter, and upon This Rock [Divine Revelation] I will

build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it.

(Matt 16:17-18)

Those who have Insight will shine brightly like the brightness of the

expanse of heaven, and those who lead the many to righteousness, like the

stars forever and ever. (Dan 12:3)

No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me Draws him; and I

will raise him up on the last day. It is Written in the Word, AND THEY SHALL

ALL BE TAUGHT OF GOD. Everyone who has Heard and Learned from the

Father, comes to Me. (John 6:44-45)

All your sons will be Taught of the LORD; And the well-being of your sons

will be great. (Isa 54:13)

That your hearts may be encouraged, having been knit together in love,

[Fruit of God the Holy Spirit] and attaining to all the wealth that comes from

the full assurance of Understanding, resulting in a True Knowledge of God’s

Word that is Christ Himself, in whom are hidden all the treasures of Wisdom

and Knowledge. (Col 2:2-3)

He who does not love Me does not keep My Words; and the Word which

you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me. (John 14:24)

Whoever speaks is to do so as one who is speaking the Utterances of

God... (1Pe 4:11)

Then hear from heaven Your dwelling place, and forgive, and render to

each according to his thoughts, whose heart You know for You alone know

the hearts of the sons of men. (2Ch 6:30)

And He who searches the hearts knows what the Mind of the Spirit is,

because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

(Rom 8:27)

The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked; who can

know it? I the LORD, search the heart, I test the mind, even to give every

man according to his thoughts, according to the fruit of his actions.

(Jer 17:9-10)

In that they show the work of the Law Written in their hearts, their

conscience bearing witness and their thoughts alternately accusing them or

else defending them, on the day [The Judgment Seat of Christ] when,

according to the Scriptures, God will judge the secret thoughts of men

through Christ Jesus. (Rom 2:15-16)

I have come as Light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me

will not remain in darkness. If anyone hears My Sayings and does not think

with them I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to

save the world. He, who rejects Me and My Sayings, has one who judges

him; the Word I Spoke is what will judge him at the last day. (John 12:46-48)

And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Why are you thinking evil in your

hearts? (Matt 9:4)

...And all the churches will know that I am He who searches the minds and

hearts; and I will give to each one of you according to your thoughts.

(Rev 2:23)

Men of low degree are only vanity and men of rank are a lie; in the

balances they go up; they are together lighter than breath. [Useless]

(Psa 62:9)

...Surely every man at his best is a mere breath. [Useless] (Psa 39:5)

The LORD knows the thoughts of man, That they are a mere breath.

[Useless] (Psa 94:11)

And again, THE LORD KNOWS THE REASONINGS [Thoughts] of the

wise, THAT THEY ARE USELESS. (1Co 3:20)

Seek the LORD while He may be found; call upon Him while He is near.

Let the wicked [Religious unbeliever and believer] forsake his way and the

unrighteous man [Carnal believer] his thoughts; and acknowledge his sins to

the LORD, and He will have compassion on him and to our God, for He will

abundantly pardon. (Rebound; 1Jn 1:9) For My Thoughts are not your

thoughts, nor are your ways, MY ways, declares the LORD. For as the

heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways

and My Thoughts, than your thoughts. (Isa 55:6-9)

I have spread out My hands all day long to a rebellious people, Who walk

in the way which is not good, following their own thoughts. (Isa 65:2)

Anyone who goes too far and does not abide in the Teaching of Christ,

does not have God; the one who Thinks with the Teaching, he has both the

Father and the Son. (2Jn 1:9)

The Rest — Spiritual Maturity

If because of the Sabbath, you turn your foot from doing your own

pleasure on My holy day, and call the Sabbath a delight, the holy day of the

LORD honorable, and honor it, desisting from your own thoughts, from

seeking your own pleasure, and speaking your own word, then you will take

delight in the LORD! Then you will become a Spiritually mature believer, and

I will feed you mature Truth! (Isa 58:13-14)

Therefore, let us fear if, while a Promise remains of entering His Rest,

any one of you may seem to have come short of it. For indeed we have had

the Word preached to us, just as they also; but the Word they heard did not

profit them, because it was not united by faith in those who heard. For we

who have believed enter that Rest just as He has said, As I swore in My

wrath they shall not enter MY Rest; although His works were finished from

the foundation of the world. (Heb 4:1-3)

Therefore, since it remains for some to enter It, and those who formerly

had God’s Thoughts preached to them, failed to enter the Rest because they

did not believe the Word, and mix it with faith. (Heb 4:6)

For He is our God, and we are the people of His pasture, and the sheep

of His hand. Today, if you hear His Voice, do not harden your hearts, as at

Meribah, [Complaining] as in the day of Massah [Tested to wipe them out] in

the wilderness, when your fathers tested Me, they tried Me, though they had

seen My work. For forty years I loathed that generation, and said they are a

people who err in their heart, and they do not know My Thoughts. Therefore I

swore in My anger, truly they shall not enter My Rest. (Psa 95:7-11)

To who would He teach Knowledge, and to whom would He interpret the

Message? Those just weaned from milk? [Baby believers] Those just taken

from the breast? For He says, order on order, order on order, line on line,

line on line a little here, a little there. Indeed, He will Speak to this people

through stammering lips and a foreign tongue, He who said to them, here is

Rest, give Rest to the weary, and, here is repose, but they would not listen.

So the Word of the LORD to them will be, order on order, order on order,

line on line, line on line a little here, a little there, that they may go and

stumble backward, be broken, snared and taken captive. (Isa 28:9-13) cf.

(1Co 14:21)

For thus said the LORD GOD, the Holy One of Israel, has said, In a

change of mind and Rest you will be saved, in quietness and trust is your

strength. But you were not willing. (Isa 30:15)

Thus says the LORD, Stand by the ways and see and ask for the ancient

paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; and you will find Rest for your

souls. But they said, we will not walk in it. (Jer 6:16)

Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy- laden, and I will give you

Rest. Take My yoke [Spiritual life] upon you and learn from Me, for I am

gentle and humble in heart, and you will find Rest for your souls. For My yoke

is easy and My burden light. [To reach Spiritual maturity] (Matt 11:28-30)

So there remains a Sabbath Rest for the people of God. For the one who

has entered His Rest has himself also rested from his own thoughts as God

did from His. Therefore let us be diligent to enter that Rest, [Spiritual

maturity] so that no one will fall, through following the same example of

disobedience. [Unbelief of God’s Word] For the Word of God is alive and

powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the

division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the

thoughts and intentions of the heart. And there is no creature hidden from His

sight, but all thoughts are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom

we have to answer to. (Heb 4:9-13)

The Word of God

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the

Word was God! (John 1:1)

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us and we saw His glory,

glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and Truth.

(John 1:14)

For HE whom God has sent speaks the Words of God; for He gives the

Spirit without measure. (John 3:34)

It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing, the Words that I have

spoken to you are Spirit and are life. (John 6:63)

Even Jesus; in His perfect HUMAN NATURE!

And someone came to Him and said, Teacher, what good thing shall I do

that I may obtain eternal life?" And He said to him, Why are you asking Me

about what is good? There is only One who is good; but if you wish to enter

into life, keep the Commandments. [Stay in fellowship] (Matt 19:16-17)

As He was setting out on a journey, a man ran up to Him and knelt before

Him, and asked Him, Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"

And Jesus said to him, Why do you call Me good? No one is good except

God alone. (Mark 10:17-18)

A ruler questioned Him, saying, Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit

eternal life?" And Jesus said to him, Why do you call Me good? No one is

good except God alone. (Luk 18:18-19)

He who speaks from his own nature seeks his own glory; but He who is

seeking the glory of the One who sent Him is true, and there is no

unrighteousness in Him. (John 7:18)

Sanctify them in Truth; Your Word is Truth! (John 17:17)

If indeed you have Heard Him and have been Taught in Him, just as Truth

is in Jesus, that in reference to your former manner of life, you lay aside the

old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit, and

that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the New self, which

in the likeness of God is being created in righteousness [In fellowship] and

holiness [Integrity] of the Truth. (Eph 4:21-24)

What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen

with our eyes, what we have looked at and touched with our hands,

concerning the Word of Life! (1Jn 1:1)

But know this first of all, that no Teaching of Scripture is a matter of one’s

own interpretation, for no Recorded Scripture was ever made by an act of

human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit Spoke From God.

(2Pe 1:20-21)

All Scripture is God Breathed and profitable for Teaching, for reproof, for

correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may become

Spiritual mature, equipped for every good work. (2Ti 3:16)

For the Kingdom of God does not consist in human words but Divine

power. (1Co 4:20)

And the one on whom seed was sown on the good soil, this is the man

who Hears the Word and Understands it; who indeed bears fruit and brings

forth, some a hundredfold, some sixty, and some thirty. (Matt 13:23)

Then I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, Do not do that; I

am a fellow servant of yours and your brethren who hold to Words of Jesus;

worship God. For the Thinking of Jesus is the Word of God. (Rev 19:10)

Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures. (Luk 24:45)

He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called the

Word of God! (Rev 19:13)
