Jesus, by giving His perfect life as a payment for ours, so we may live eternally with Him in heaven, showed the true meaning of sacrifice and love. Now we as Christians must show the world the love we have been given, no matter the opposition we face. We must all be Lions of God. Jesus said, "I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to Father except through Me." We can be the first glimpse of light, leading our peers, our family members, our enemies towards the true Light.

            THE TEN COMMANDMENTS...

 

Do not worship any other gods besides Me.

-Anything we put before God, becomes our god. Money, sex, whatever consumes your focus is considered master over you.

Do not make idols of any kind

Do not misuse the name of the Lord your God.

God’s last name is not ‘Dammit’ and Jesus Christ is your one chance at salvation, not a curse word.

Remember to observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy

Take 1 day out of the 7 He gives you each week and make it a day to honor, praise, and Glorify Him.

Honor your father and mother.

Regardless of your relationship with your parents, and the history behind you, it was by their actions and God’s Will that you are here on this earth, and also by His Will that you were born unto them. If you refuse to acknowledge them, you are in turn dishonoring His Will.

Do not murder.

Do not commit adultery.

Do not steal.

Do not testify falsely against your neighbor.

Gossip, lies, cheats, anything you say should be said as if Jesus, and the person you speak of, was standing right next to you. He hears and knows all. And chances are, whoever you speak of will hear about it sooner or later.

Do not covet

If God wants you to have it, you’ll eventually get it. But you cannot want what others have, thinking that if only you have this one thing, life would be so much better for you. Whether it is their lifestyle, gifts, money, toys, looks, or husband/wife (boyfriend/girlfriend) it isn’t yours to desire.

 

"But as for you, speak the things which are fitting for sound doctrine. Older men are to be temperate, dignified, sensible, sound in faith, in love, in perseverance. Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips, nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good, that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, [to be] sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be dishonored. Likewise urge the young men to be sensible; in all things show yourself to be an example of good deeds, [with] purity in doctrine, dignified, sound [in] speech which is beyond reproach, in order that the opponent may be put to shame, having nothing bad to say about us."  Titus 2:1-8


"Let us behave properly as in the day, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and sensuality, not in strife and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts." Romans 13:13


"Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body."  1 Corinthians 6:18.
