OUR NATURE AND WHAT WE MUST DO:

2 Timothy 3:2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,


PEOPLE BY NATURE ARE SELFISH, LOVERS OF MONEY, BOASTFUL, PROUD, ABUSIVE, DISOBEDIENT TO PARENTS, UNGRATEFUL, UNHOLY.


Philippians 2:21 For everyone looks out for his own interests, not those of Jesus Christ.


IT IS MAN'S NATURE THAT EACH WILL LOOK OUT FOR HIS OWN INTEREST.


1 Corinthians 10:24 Nobody should seek his own good, but the good of others.


THIS IS WHAT GOD WANTS US TO DO- LOOK FOR OTHER'S GOOD, NOT THE GOOD OF OURSELVES.


Philippians 2:4 Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.


IF WE LOOK AT OUR OWN INTEREST, LET US ALSO LOOK ON THE INTEREST OF OTHER PEOPLE.


Romans 15:2 Each of us should please his neighbor for his good, to build him up.


WE OUGHT TO PLEASE OUR NEIGHBOR FOR HIS GOOD, AND BUILD HIM UP.


1 Corinthians 10:33 even as I try to please everybody in every way. 
For I am not seeking my own good but the good of many, so that they may be saved.


LIKE PAUL, I ALSO TRY TO PLEASE OTHERS IN EVERY WAY, SO THAT THEY MAY BE SAVED ALSO.


BUT OFTEN, THIS IS MISINTERPRETED, AND TO OTHERS, IT RESULTS IN MISUNDERSTANDING.


1 Corinthians 9:22 To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some.


THIS IS THE REASON THAT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST SIMPLIFIED THE TEACHINGS, SO THAT EVERYONE MAY HAVE THE CHANCE TO BE SAVED.


THAT IS WHY IT IS NECESSARY FOR THE SERVANTS OF GOD TO MEND AND TO ADAPT WITH OTHER PEOPLE- TO WIN THEM BACK TO GOD.


Romans 14:1 Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on disputable matters.


WE OUGHT TO ACCEPT THOSE WHOSE FAITH IS WEAK, WITHOUT PASSING JUDGMENT ON DISPUTABLE MATTERS.

IF WE ARE STRONG IN FAITH, WE OUGHT TO BEAR WITH THE FAILINGS OF THOSE WHO ARE WEAK, AND DO NOT SEEK OUR OWN PLEASURE.


Romans 15:7 Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.


WE OUGHT TO ACCEPT ONE ANOTHER, JUST AS CHRIST ACCEPTED US, TO BRING PRAISE TO OUR GOD.


1 Thessalonians 5:14 And we urge you, brothers, warn those who are idle, encourage the timid, help the weak, be patient with everyone.


WE NEED TO BE PATIENT WITH EVERYONE.


2 Thessalonians 3:6 In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we command you, brothers, to keep away from every brother who is idle and does not live according to the teaching you received from us.


IF ANY OF OUR BROTHERS ARE IDLE IN SERVING GOD, AND DO NOT LIVE OR DO THE TEACHINGS YOU HAVE RECEIVED FROM US, IT IS BETTER THAT WE KEEP AWAY FROM THEM.


2 Thessalonians 3:15 Yet do not regard him as an enemy, but warn him as a brother.


THEREFORE, TO THOSE WHO DO NOTHING IN OUR GROUP, AND STILL LIVE AS THEY PLEASE, THOUGH THEY ARE MEMBERS- WE SHOULD KEEP OUR DISTANCE FROM THEM, THOUGH THEY REMAIN AS OUR BROTHERS.


THUS, AS IT IS WRITTEN IN THIS VERSE, I GIVE WARNING TO OUR MEMBERS WHO DO NOT DO THEIR PART IN OUR GROUP, TO DO THEIR PART- FOR WE ARE UNITED TO ONE CAUSE, AND THAT IS TO LIVE AS GOD WANTS US TO LIVE- THROUGH LOVE.


2 Thessalonians 3:7 For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example. We were not idle when we were with you,


AS IT IS WITH THE OLD CHURCH, IN PART, IN EVERY WAY EVERYDAY, I DID MY BEST TO BECOME GOOD EXAMPLES TO YOU- EVEN DOING ACCOUNTING TO YOU, AND BEARING THE DETAILS OF WHAT HAS HAPPENED FROM DAY TO DAY- BLOGGING THEM TO BE AN EXAMPLE FOR YOU TO FOLLOW- IN SPIRIT.


1 Peter 5:3 not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.


TEACHING BY EXAMPLE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, FOR THE LOVE OF OUR BRETHREN.


1 Thessalonians 1:6 You became imitators of us and of the Lord; in spite of severe suffering, you welcomed the message with the joy given by the Holy Spirit.


THEREFORE, MY BRETHREN, LET US BE IMITATORS OF GOOD EXAMPLES AND OUR LORD, IN SPITE OF SEVERE SUFFERING.


THE VIRTUES OF GOD ARE INCLUDED IN THE 7 PRINCIPLES OF D.E.U.S. (G.O.D.) WHERE THE LOVE OF GOD IS AT IT'S CENTER, AND IT'S DIRECT EMANATION IS THE LOVE OF NEIGHBOR AS OURSELVES.

DEUS (GOD) IS CHRIST'S ORGANIZATION, FOR THE 7 PRINCIPLES THAT MAKE UP D.E.U.S.(G.O.D.) IS GOD'S WILL AND VIRTUES, WHICH IS ONE WITH CHRIST.


1 Corinthians 12:26 If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.


EACH PART AFFECTS THE WHOLE.


AS A MEMBER OF THIS BODY, I DO MY BEST TO MAKE THE WHOLE PARTS HONORED THROUGH THE HONOR THAT ONE PART (ME) DOES.


MAY THE OTHER MEMBERS FOLLOW THE 7 PRINCIPLES OF DEUS(GOD) SO THAT THE WHOLE OF THE BODY OF DEUS(GOD) WILL BE HONORED.


THEREFORE, AS I SUFFER, BECAUSE OF DOING THE WILL OF OUR GOD, THE WHOLE OF DEUS (GOD) WILL ALSO SUFFER.


THEREFORE, IF OUR MEMBERS WILL NOT SUPPORT OR HELP IN OUR MISSIONARY WORKS AND OUTREACH, ALL OF US WILL ALSO BE AFFECTED.


Romans 12:4 Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function.


WE HAVE DIFFERENT FUNCTIONS- WHICH IS THE PART OF OUR DUTY TO DEUS(GOD).
LET US WORK FOR THE HONOR OF D.E.U.S.(G.O.D.) SO THAT THE WHOLE OF DEUS(GOD) WILL SHARE IN THIS HONOR.


IF THE MEMBER OF DEUS(GOD) WILL NOT DO THEIR PART, ALL OF DEUS(GOD) WILL BE AFFECTED AS A WHOLE.
