Boasting

Answer 0

Boasting
Jeremiah 9.23-24

Thus says The Lord, “Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the mighty man boast of his might, let not a rich man boast of his riches; but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the Lord who exercises lovingkindness, justice and righteousness on earth; for I delight in those things,” declares the Lord.

Question 1

Confidence in Christ

Answer 1

Confidence in Christ
2 Corinthians 3.4-6

Such confidence we have through Christ toward God. Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God, who also made us adequate as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

Question 2

Dwell on These Things

Answer 2

Dwell on These Things
Philippians 4.8

Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.

Question 3

Fruit of the Spirit

Answer 3

Fruit of the Spirit
Galatians 5.22-25

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.

Question 7

Imitators of God
