“  Make the most out of what God has for you today and in the future, and the least out of what you have done in the past, whether good or bad.” Dad

Grace

Romans 8:1-5  1 Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. 3 For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, 4      so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 5 For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

Our works

Col. 2:20-23 20 If you have died with Christ to the elementary principles of the world, why, as if you were living in the world, do you submit yourself to decrees, such as, 21 “Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch!”  22  (which all refer to things destined to perish with use)—in accordance with the commandments and teachings of men?         23 These are matters which have, to be sure, the appearance of wisdom in self-made religion and self-abasement and severe treatment of the body, but are of no value against fleshly indulgence.

Wisdom

I Cor. 4:7 For who regards you as superior? What do you have that you did not receive? and if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?

Love

Romans 13:10  Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

Wisdom

Romans 13: 12-14   12 The night is almost gone, and the day is near. Therefore let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. 13 Let us behave properly as in the day, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and sensuality, not in strife and jealousy. 14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts 

Anger

Pro. 14:17 A quick-tempered man acts foolishly, and a man of evil devices is hated.
