Live justified lives this week and bless someone else along the way. God bless and let Him be true.

Today, God’s temple is the Christian. Paul wrote, “Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?” (1 Corinthians 6:19). His Most Holy Place is in heaven where Jesus Christ sits on the right hand of the throne of God (Hebrews 8:1). Jesus abandoned the temple in Matthew 23. God the Father abandoned it when its stewards put His Son to death on the cross.
May one be faithful to the Lord by attending another church that is not the church of Christ? If it is not a congregation that is practicing and believing what the Lord has commanded, then one’s attendance is just as significant to the Lord as attendance at a baseball game or some other non-spiritual event. As far as the Lord is concerned, there is only one body (Ephesians 4:4), and the body is the church. Those who are not His body are not His church and attending those organizations means nothing to the Lord.
There are plenty of other scriptures that emphasize obedience to God’s commandments such as Hebrews 5:8-9, 1 John 5:2-3, and John 14:15. Whether the text says to wash one's robes or do his commandments, both are things that Jesus desires.
This lesson provides a Biblical perspective on grief over loss in death and guides disciples in the way of comfort God had provided. It's Emphasis is on God’s love and brotherly love.
This is a second blessing upon those who keep the words of the book of Revelation. The first was in Revelation 1:3, “Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things that are written therein: for the time is at hand.” This is a blessing upon those who are obedient to Christ and who live for Him every day. Jesus said “If ye love me, ye will keep my commandments” (John 14:15). Jesus saves those who obey Him. “And having been made perfect, he became unto all them that obey him the author of eternal salvation” (Hebrews 5:9).
In this lesson, we will study Romans 5 and answer the question: Why does God justify Man by Faith? Each person should be able to explain that God’s motivation for justifying man by faith is His grace.

Each hearer should be able to explain what speaking in tongues was and their purpose. This lesson seeks to disabuse the notion that speaking in tongues is something unintelligible and contemporary.
Christians were spiritually circumcised when they were baptized. By identifying with Christ, they cut off all their fleshly sins and put them aside. When one is baptized, he identifies with Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection, and just as God gave Jesus a new life, God gives the baptized new life also. He is forgiven of his sins. “Wherefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature: the old things are passed away; behold, they are become new.” This is the first resurrection.

For those who respond to His call, they will participate in the marriage supper of the Lamb. This is a metaphor for Christ's relationship to the church. “For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, being himself the saviour of the body” (Ephesians 5:23). Another great discussion of this relationship is in Romans 7:1-4. Christians have become dead to the law so that they may be married to another, Christ Jesus. Their identity comes from Him.
In this lesson we will look at Psalm 10: 1) The faults of the haughty, and 2) The faith of the humble, and 3) Lessons learned. Each person will understand how the Psalmist describes these two characters. We should eschew haughtiness and embrace humility.
