Born again

Episode 1875

John 3:3–4, John 3:7

John 3:3-4, 7. Unless a person is born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God. This means that our lives need to change based on a decision we make to believe in and follow Jesus. It is a 180 degree turn in the opposite direction from where we were going. There needs to be change.

No excuses

Matthew 7:16

Holiness is the end product of obedience. We will face the Lord one day, it is important that the Lord will know us on that day. We will be known by our fruits, by our lifestyle, not merely by what we say. If we love God, then we will obey His commandments, His will.

Honour our elders

Exodus 20:12

Exodus 20:12. God commands us to honour our parents. This is the first commandment in the Bible that comes with a promise. Respect them, ask God to give you a love for them and be patient with them.

Deny yourself

Matthew 16:24, Romans 1:17, John 15:13

Matthew 16:24. The cost for following Jesus is self denial. It is hard to do this. Romans 1:17. It's by faith that we put our flesh to death. If our faith has cost nothing, then it is worth nothing. When we choose righteousness, it causes us to become unpopular with the world. John 15:13.
