Day 6

Jesus is our King, Lord, Master, and Friend. He came to pay the price for all mankind’s sins and to set us all free from sin's bondage. Our Lord Jesus Christ does not want us to be a slave to anything except Him and His righteousness. God said it like this in Romans 6:16-18, “Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone as slav...

Adultery is when a married man or married woman breaks the covenant they’ve made with their spouse and chooses to be intimate with someone besides their spouse. The bond between a husband and wife is a bond that God unites. God has given us very specific commands in Ephesians 5:21–33 and 1 Peter 3:1–7 of how husbands and wives are to love and...

Jesus continued teaching and said this in Matthew 5:28, “but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” Jesus left no doubt where sin starts in our lives, and sin does not start with the act, but sin starts within our minds.

In Ephesians 6:17, God’s Word tells us to make sure we have the “helmet of salvation” on and that we continually take up ...

As Jesus taught the people, there were times He used illustrations to firmly get His Truth across. Jesus said in Matthew 5:29–30, “29 If your right eye makes you stumble, tear it out and throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30 If your right hand mak...

Since overcoming our fleshly desires is what Jesus desires for us, we need to understand what we’re up against. God’s Word tells us in Galatians 5:19–25, “Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, 2...

In Matthew 5:31–32, Jesus said, “It was said, ‘Whoever sends his wife away, let him give her a certificate of divorce’; 32 but I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except for the reason of unchastity, makes her commit adultery; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.” To better understand, let’s read what Jesus sai...
