Ask in Jesus' Name

 


Yes, ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it!

John 14:14 NLT

https://bible.com/bible/116/jhn.14.14.NLT

I have been asking for healing and I believe I will receive it, whether on Earth or in Heaven.  Asking Jesus for what you want is important because having a relationship with him is important, and not just for him to give you physical things, but I must also ask him for spiritual things as well.

Put On My New Nature

 Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like him.

Colossians 3:10 NLT

Let God Cut Away My Sinful Nature

 


You were dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away. Then God made you alive with Christ, for he forgave all our sins.

Colossians 2:13 NLT

https://bible.com/bible/116/col.2.13.NLT

I must be made alive in Christ though God.  I do that by letting him cut away my sinful nature.

Loving Others and Living As I Should

 


I want them to be encouraged and knit together by strong ties of love. I want them to have complete confidence that they understand God’s mysterious plan, which is Christ himself. In him lie hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. I am telling you this so no one will deceive you with well-crafted arguments. For though I am far away from you, my heart is with you. And I rejoice that you are living as you should and that your faith in Christ is strong.

Colossians 2:2‭-‬5 NLT

https://bible.com/bible/116/col.2.2-5.NLT

I must remember to live as I should, relying on Jesus and his treasures of wisdom and knowledge.  It's very easy to be persuaded by well-crafted arguments, but my salvation in Jesus is more important than arguments that sound good. 

I must remember to live how Jesus wants me to live and understand the plan of salvation that God sent, that is Jesus.

Believe the Truth and Stand Firm

 


But you must continue to believe this truth and stand firmly in it. Don’t drift away from the assurance you received when you heard the Good News. The Good News has been preached all over the world, and I, Paul, have been appointed as God’s servant to proclaim it.

Colossians 1:23 NLT

https://bible.com/bible/116/col.1.23.NLT

I must not drift away from the truth.  It is very easy to get caught up in things that are not Biblically true because they make you feel good.  I need to continue to believe the truth and stand on it, even when it's not popular or culturally "correct".
