...................................................................LET US LEARN TOGETHER WHAT IS GOOD. Job 34:4b(NIV)................................................................Some people see the Bible as a long and boring book filled with incidents and events from the lives of ancient people who probably never existed. The biblical stories are seen as fables. Notably, Romans 15:4 reveals: For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.(KJV) In this blog, many of the situations and conversations found in the divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible have been placed in categories that correspond to expressive sayings and phrases.

More Plus More Because of the Lord

From a letter written by the apostle Paul,
with Silvanus (Silas) and Timotheus (Timothy),
to believers in Thessalonica:

Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more. For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus. For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God: That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified. For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.-1 Thessalonians 4:1-8***When Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was preaching, teaching and performing miracles among the Israelites, he revealed that there were 2 chief commandments and in them were summed up the words of the law and the prophets. Jesus said that the Lord God is one Lord God. Each person must love the Lord God with all one's heart, soul, strength, and mind, and each person must love one's neighbor as oneself. Before Jesus was betrayed and arrested, Jesus spoke similar words to his disciples. Between the time that the disciple and apostle Judas Iscariot left to betray Jesus, and returned, leading an armed group sent from the religious leaders, Jesus gave his disciples the commandment to love each other. Years after Jesus was crucified, buried in a tomb, resurrected, and returned to heaven, the apostle Paul (Saul) sent a divinely inspired letter to believers in Thessalonica, and explained that it is the will of the Lord for believers to a live a life of sanctification and neither cause nor lead their brethren into any harm.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Leviticus 5:1-19, 7:1-38, 10:1-13:59, 15:1-33, 17:1-16, 20:1-27, 22:1-33, Numbers 19:1-22, 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 14:1-29, 23:1-25, 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 6:1-81, Ezekiel 36:1-38, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts, Romans 1:1-32, 6:1-23, 14:1-23, 1 Corinthians 7:1-40, 2 Corinthians 6:1-18, 12:1-21, Galatians 5:1-26, Ephesians 5:1-33, Colossians 3:1-25, 1 Thessalonians
