God's Pathway

VICTORY THROUGH CHRIST
Adversity Builds Character

"(Everyone) will suffer adversity..., (even Christians).  Paul had physical infirmity, suffered beatings and imprisonment, shipwreck, robbers, and other dangers.  Job lost is family, all his possessions and was afflicted with terible sores from head to foot.  Stephen gave his life for the faith....Adversity builds character and Christlikeness." (CLWC - Billy Graham)

James 1:2-4 Consider if pure joy my brothers, whenever youf ace trials.
Romans 5:3-5 We also rejoice in our sufferings.
Romans 8:28-29 God works for the good of those who live him.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Give thanks in all circumstances.

God's Promises (on His Pathway)

When we receive Christ, we also receive all of his promises....

#1  Fulfillment & Joy

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all you heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

Walking in God's way means walking in the Spirit, walking in the light, and walking in truth.  This leads to fulfillment, satisfaction, and peace.

Psalm 16:11 You have made known to me the path of life, you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal plesures at you right hand.
Psalm 107:9 For he stisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.
Isaiah 26:3 You will keep in perfect peace him whose maind is steadfast, because he trusts in you.
Galatians 5:16, 22-23 So I say, walk by the Spirit....  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

1 John 1:7-9 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.  If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

John 14:21 Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.

More promises to come....
