Jesus lived his life to always please His Father, to help other to know His Father and be the best they could be here on earth and in Heaven. Jesus set the ultimate example of how to reach one’s full potential. One the great examples Jesus practiced and taught, was to respect, honor and obey authorities in our lives and things will go well for us. This is how we LIVE THE GOOD LIVE. Pull up chair set down and join us as we talk about it.
1 Peter 2:18-25
⁠18⁠⁠[e]⁠Servants, be submissive to your masters with all [proper] respect, not only to those who are good and kind, but also to those who are unreasonable.⁠19⁠For this finds favor, if a person endures the sorrow of suffering unjustly because of an ⁠[f]⁠awareness of [the will of] God. ⁠20⁠After all, what kind of credit is there if, when you do wrong and are punished for it, you endure it patiently? But if when you do what is right and patiently bear [undeserved] suffering, this finds favor with God.
Christ Is Our Example
⁠21⁠For [as a believer] you have been called for this purpose, since Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you may follow in His footsteps.⁠22⁠HE COMMITTED NO SIN, NOR WAS DECEIT EVER FOUND IN HIS MOUTH. ⁠23⁠While being reviled and insulted, He did not revile or insult in return; while suffering, He made no threats [of vengeance], but kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges fairly. ⁠24⁠He personally carried our sins in His body on the ⁠[g]⁠cross [willingly offering Himself on it, as on an altar of sacrifice], so that we might die to sin [becoming immune from the penalty and power of sin] and live for righteousness; for by His wounds you [who believe] have been ⁠[h]⁠healed. ⁠25⁠For you were continually wandering like [so many] sheep, but now you have come back to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.

‭Just as each one of you has received a ‭special‭ gift [a spiritual talent, an ability graciously given by God], employ it in serving one another as [is appropriate for] good stewards of God’s multi-faceted grace [faithfully using the diverse, varied gifts and abilities granted to Christians by God’s unmerited favor].‭
‭Whoever speaks [to the congregation], ‭is to do so‭ as one who speaks the oracles (utterances, the very words) of God. Whoever serves [the congregation] ‭is to do so‭ as one who serves by the strength which God [abundantly] supplies, so that in all things God may be glorified [honored and magnified] through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.‭

Ga.2:20-21‭ I have been crucified with Christ [that is, in Him I have shared His crucifixion]; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. The ‭life‭ I now live in the body I live by faith [by adhering to, relying on, and completely trusting] in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.‭
‭I do not ignore ‭or‭ nullify the [gracious gift of the] grace of God [His amazing, unmerited favor], for if righteousness ‭comes‭ through [observing] the Law, then Christ died needlessly. [His suffering and death would have had no purpose whatsoever.]”

Eph.4:29 ‭Do not let unwholesome [foul, profane, worthless, vulgar] words ever come out of your mouth, but only such ‭speech‭ as is good for building up others, according to the need ‭and‭ the occasion, so that it will be a blessing to those who hear [you speak].‭

Hosea 4:6 Says,”My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge”. God wants us to know the weapons of warfare He has provided for us to have victory in every area of our lives. Join me as we talk about these weapons of spiritual warfare

Phil 1:21-25 ⁠21⁠For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. ⁠22⁠But if I go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. So what shall I choose? I do not know. ⁠23⁠I am torn between the two. I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better indeed. ⁠24⁠But it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.
⁠25⁠Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith, ⁠26⁠so that through my coming to you again your exultation in Christ Jesus will resound on account of me.
Rom.8;28-29 ⁠28⁠And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose. ⁠29⁠For those God foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers. ⁠30⁠And those He predestined, He also called; those He called, He also justified; those He justified, He also glorified.
