Bible Answer:
When we listen to the risen Christ, we
find our lives, blessed of Him.
COME
UNTO ME:
Matthew 11:28 KJV
Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are
heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
The very first thing we must do in life
is to come to the Savior!
Any other agenda, will end in failure!
Isaiah 55:3 KJV
Incline your
ear, and come unto Me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will
make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of
David.
Acts 4:12 KJV (Peter)
Neither is there salvation in any
other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men,
whereby we must be saved.
John 8:24 KJV
(Jesus)
I said therefore unto you, that ye
shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am He, ye shall
die in your sins.
John 6:37 KJV

come to Me; and him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out.
John 7:37 KJV

John 3:14-18 KJV
14 And as Moses lifted up the
serpent in the wilderness, even so must The Son Of Man be lifted up:
15 That whosoever believeth in Him
should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that
He gave His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should
not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not His Son into the
world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be
saved.
18 He that believeth on Him is not
condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he
hath not believed in the name of The Only Begotten Son Of God.
LEARN
OF ME:
Matthew 11:29,30 KJV
29 Take My
yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and
ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For My
yoke is easy, and My burden is light.
We cannot faithfully follow the Savior, if we know nothing of what He
says. For that reason, we must learn of His teachings, to know of His
blessings.
Deuteronomy 8:3 KJV
"... man
doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of
the mouth of The Lord doth man live.
Job 23:11,12 KJV

hath held his steps, His way have I kept, and not declined.
12 Neither
have I gone back from the commandment of His lips; I have esteemed
the words of His mouth more than my necessary food.
Psalm 19:8 KJV
The statutes
of The Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of The
Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.
Psalm 119:10-12,105,130 KJV
10 With my
whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy
commandments.
11 Thy word
have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
12 Blessed
art thou, O Lord: teach me thy statutes.
105 Thy word
is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
130 The
entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the
simple.

The grass
withereth, the flower fadeth: but The Word of our God shall stand for
ever.

Search the
scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are
they which testify of Me.

clean through The Word which I have spoken unto you.

it is written, The just shall live by faith.

16 All
scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for
doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in

FOLLOW
ME:
Matthew 4:19,20 KJV
19 And He saith unto them, Follow Me, and I will make
you fishers of men.
20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed
Him.
All the spiritual wisdom of the world, does “no,”
good unless applied.
We must not only be hears of the Word, but doers as
well.
Joshua 1:8 KJV
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy
mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou
mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for

good success.
Joshua 24:15 KJV
And if it seem evil unto you to serve The Lord,
choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your
fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods
of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house,
we will serve The Lord.

burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of The Lord?

of rams.
Matthew 7:21-29 KJV
21 Not every one that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord,
shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of
My Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have
we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils?
and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew
you: depart from Me, ye that work iniquity.
24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of Mine,
and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his
house upon a rock:
25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and
the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was
founded upon a Rock.
26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine,
and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built
his house upon the sand:
27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and
the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was
the fall of it.
28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these
sayings, the people were astonished at His doctrine:
29 For He taught them as one having authority, and
not as the scribes.
Matthew 12:50 KJV
For whosoever shall do the will of My Father which is
in heaven, the same is My brother, and sister, and mother.

ABIDE
IN ME:
John 15:1-11 KJV
1 I am The True Vine, and My Father is the
Husbandman.
2 Every branch in Me that beareth not fruit he taketh
away: and every branch that beareth fruit, He purgeth it, that it may
bring forth more fruit.
3 Now ye are clean through The Word which I have
spoken unto you.
4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot
bear fruit of itself, except it abide in The Vine; no more can ye,
except ye abide in Me.
5 I am The Vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth
in Me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without
Me ye can do nothing.
6 If a man abide not in Me, he is cast forth as a
branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the
fire, and they are burned.
7 If ye abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ye
shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
8 Herein is My Father glorified, that ye bear much
fruit; so shall ye be My disciples.
9 As the Father hath loved Me, so have I loved you:
continue ye in My love.
10 If ye keep My commandments, ye shall abide in My
love; even as I have kept My Father's commandments, and abide in His
love.
11 These things have I spoken unto you, that My joy
might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
We can bear no fruit, if we do not “abide in the
Vine.”
I John 2:6 KJV
He that saith he abideth in Him ought himself also so
to walk, even as He walked.
I John 3:6 KJV
Whosoever abideth in Him sinneth not: whosoever
sinneth hath not seen Him, neither known Him.
II John 9
Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the
doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of
Christ, he hath both The Father and The Son.
Are you listening to The Lord today?
So simple His commands, yet so many who will not hear.
Come unto Me, Learn of Me, Follow Me, Abide in Me!
Hear His voice today, and rejoice, one day with Him.
Matthew 7:13,14 KJV
13 Enter ye in at The Strait Gate: for wide is the gate,
and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be
which go in thereat:
14 Because Strait is The Gate, and Narrow is The Way,
which leadeth unto Life, and few there be that find it.
