Luke 17:32    (32) Remember Lot's wife. Genesis 19:26 (26) But his wife looked back behind him, and she became a pillar of salt. New King James Version "Just before Lot's wife reached her place of safety—though she had made some effort to escape the impending disaster—Lot's wife disobeyed the angel's command and looked back. "She became a pillar of salt" ( Genesis 19:26 ). "Why did she look back? The context does not specifically give a reason, but she probably had an inordinate love for  the world  and the material things she had in Sodom. Obviously, Lot was a wealthy man who had enough livestock and servants to cause a problem while he lived with Abraham ( Genesis 13:5-7 ). He and his wife may have had a palatial house with many fine furnishings, servants to do her bidding, fine clothes, sumptuous food, and frequent entertainment. "Also, Lot had achieved prominence among the citizens of Sodom beyond hi...

Hebrews 6:1    Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary   principles   of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God,   New King James Version "These doctrines or principles are very important.  God  will grant us  repentance  and forgive us through the blood of  Jesus Christ . What good news! But it is not  the  good news. That is the principle: Being granted repentance and having  faith  in and through Jesus Christ are good news, but the result of those things is the real good news. It is the culmination of the process—"let us go on to perfection"—that is the good news. "What if  the gospel  concentrates on the Messenger rather than the message He brought? If it focuses on the greatness of the Messenger, all of the good news about Him, and His importance to the process, His significance actuall...

    Matthew 7:2 (2) For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. New King James Version   Jesus  warns us that we will receive the same kind of judgment that we make of others. Do we really want that? That warning ought to sober any thinking person! Do we really believe  God  when He gives us such a stern warning? Jesus adds another warning: Our judgment may be distorted because we may have a flaw of far greater magnitude in us than the flaw we observe so critically in our brother. The unspoken intimation is that because the flaw is ours, and we love ourselves, we are willing to be lenient in our self-judgment. By focusing our criticism on another, it enables us to avoid scrutinizing ourselves carefully and critically. Some enjoy correcting others because it makes them feel virtuous, compensating for failures in themselves that they have no desire to face. But the j...

God chose us before the foundation of the world. In Christ, He blessed us with every spiritual blessing so that we may reflect the grace of His character and seek His holiness. Holiness is not a state of perfection that we struggle to achieve. It is continually becoming more like Jesus, a state achieved daily through the power of the Holy Spirit as we fellowship with God in prayer and through His Word. Holiness is the result of beholding the beauty of Christ’s character. God’s holiness consists largely of two major elements. First, it includes His righteous, pure character that is intrinsically part of His nature. God cannot act contrary to His own nature; so, His actions are always righteous, pure, and just. Second, God’s holiness sets Him apart from all created beings. His love, graciousness, goodness, justice, and compassion are infinite. There is no one else like Him in the entire universe (Lev. 19:2; Ps. 47:8; 1 Pet. 1:15, 16). Meditating upon God’s holiness leads u...
