Mercy and Truth

Episode 952

Angus Buchan

We don't know what the people around us are going through in their lives - we need to be full of mercy and kindness towards them, and always tell them the truth.

Proverbs 3:5-6
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding,
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths."

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.

In Whom do you believe?

Hebrews 13:8, Deuteronomy 32:39, Revelation 1:8, John 16:7

Hebrews 13:8. Deuteronomy 32:39. We need to understand and know in Whom we believe. Revelation 1:8. He is God, there is no other God. He is the great I Am. Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Jesus said, if you have seen Me, you have seen the Father. John 16:7. There is no other God.
