We are continuing with passages for meditation, now in the New Testament.
1)
The Gospels.
a)
Mt. 6:24: No man can serve two masters; for either he
will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and
despise the other. You cannot serve God
and mammon.
b)
Matt. 6:33: But seek first the kingdom of God and His
righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
c)
Matt. 10:34-39: This passage includes this … “He who
loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me
is not worthy of Me. And he who does not
take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Mt. He who finds his life will lose it, and he
who loses his life for My sake will find it.
(See also Mt. 16:24-25.)
2)
The Epistles.
a)
Rom. 12:1-2: … present your bodies unto God, which is
your reasonable service. And be not
conformed to this world but be transformed, by the renewing of your mind, that
you may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
b)
Gal. 5:1-2: Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves
be burdened again by a yoke of slavery … if you let yourselves be circumcised,
Christ will be of no value to you.
c)
Gal. 6:14: May I never boast except in the cross of our
Lord Jesus Christ.
d)
Eph. 6:24: Grace to all who love our Lord Jesus Christ
with an undying love.
e)
Phil. 1:20-21: I eagerly expect and hope that I will in
no way be ashamed but will have sufficient courage so that now, as always,
Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is
gain.
f)
Phil. 3:7-11,14: But what things were gain to me, these
I have counted loss for Christ. Yet
indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of
Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and
count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in Him, not having
my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in
Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; that I may know Him and
the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being
conformed to His death, if, my any means, I may attain to the resurrection from
the dead. … I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in
Christ Jesus.
g)
Col. 3:1-2: Since then you have bene raised with
Christ, set your hearts on things above where Christ is seated at the right
hand of God; set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.
h)
Rev. 22:13: I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and
the Last, the Beginning and the End.
