Love
God Above All Else
'Love
the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul
And
with all your mind.
This
is the first and greatest commandment.
And
the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself.
All
the Law and the Prophets hand on these two commandments.'
(Matthew
22:37-40)
Do
To Others As You Would Have Them Do to You
In everything, do to
others what you would have them do to you,
For this sums up the
Law and the Prophets. (Matthew 7:12)
Primary

first [above all else]

6:33)

Our
Father in Heaven, hallowed be Your name,
Your
Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.

us today our daily bread.
Forgive
us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And
lead us not into temptation,but deliver us from the evil one.
(Matthew 6:9-13)
Mode
Of Prayer
When
you pray, go into your room, close the door
And
pray to your Father, who is unseen.
Then
your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Primary
Attributes
Blessed
are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
Blessed
are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Blessed
are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed
are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be
filled.
Blessed
are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed
are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Blessed
are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.
Blessed
are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
For
theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
Blessed
are you when people insult you, persecute you
And
falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.
Rejoice
and be glad, because great is your reward in Heaven,
For
in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
(Matthew
5:3-12)
The
Salt Of The Earth
You
are the salt of the earth.
But
if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again?
It
is no longer good for anything,
Except
to be thrown out and trampled by men. (Matthew 5:13)
The
Light Of The World
You
are the light of the world.
A
city on a hill cannot be hidden.
Neither
do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl.
Instead
they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the
house.
In
the same way, let your light shine before men,
That
they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in Heaven.
(Matthew
5:14-16)
Fulfill
The Law
Anyone
who breaks one to the least of these commandments
And
teaches others to do the same
Will be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven,
Will be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven,
But
whoever practices and teaches these commands
Will
be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven. (Matthew 5: 19)
Love
One Another
A new command I give
you: Love one another.
As I have loved you,
so you must love one another.
All men will know
that you are My disciples if you love one another.
(John 13:34)
Wash
One Another's Feet
Do you understand
what I have done for you? He asked them.
You call Me Teacher'
and 'Lord,' and rightly so, for that is what I am.
Now that I, your
Lord and teacher, have washed your feet,
You also should wash
one another's feet.
I have set an
example that you should do as I have done for you.
I tell you the
truth, no servant is greater than his master,
Nor is a messenger
greater than the one who sent him.
Now that you know
these things, you will be blessed if you do them.
(John 13:12-17)
Behavior
Towards Others
Do not resist and
evil person.
If someone strikes
you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.
And if someone wants
to sue you and take your tunic,
Let him have your
cloak as well.
If someone forces
you to go one mile, go with him two miles.
Give to the one who
asks you,
And do not turn away
from the one who wants to borrow from you.
(Matthew 5:38 42)
Love
Your Enemies
You have heard that
it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy,'
But I tell you: Love
your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
That you may be sons
of your Father in Heaven.
He causes His sun to
rise on the evil and the good,
And sends rain on
the righteous and the unrighteous.
If you love those
who love you, what reward will you get?
Are not even the tax
collectors doing that?
And if you greet
only your brothers, what are you doing more than others?
Be perfect,
therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect. (Matthew 5:43-48)
Give
In Secret
Be careful not to do
your' acts of righteousness' before men,
To be seen by them.
To be seen by them.
If you do, you will
have no reward in Heaven.
So when you give to
the needy, do not announce it with trumpets,
As the hypocrites do
in the synagogues and on the streets,
To be honored by men.
I tell you the
truth, they have received their reward in full.
But when you give to
the needy,
Do not let your left
hand know what your right hand is doing,
So that your giving
may be in secret.
Then your Father,
who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
(Matthew 6:1-4)
Forgive
And Be Forgiven
For if you forgive
men when they sin against you,
Your Heavenly Father
will also forgive you.
But if you do not
forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
(Matthew 6:14-15)
Store
Up Treasure In Heaven
Do not store up for
yourselves treasures on earth,
Where moth and rust
destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
But store up for
yourselves treasures in Heaven,
Where moth and rust do not destroy,
And where thieves do not break in and steal.
Where moth and rust do not destroy,
And where thieves do not break in and steal.
For where your
treasure is, there you heart will be also. (Matthew 6:19-21)
The
Eye Is The Lamp Of The Body
They eye is the lamp
of the body.
If your eyes are
good, you whole body will be full of light.
But if your eyes are
bad, your whole body will be full of darkness.
If then the light
within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
(Matthew 6:22-23)
You
Cannot Serve Two Masters
No one can serve two
masters.
Either he will hate
the one and love the other,
Or he will be
devoted to the one and despise the other
You cannot serve
both God and Money. (Matthew 6:24)
Do
Not Worry
Therefore I tell
you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink;
Or about your body,
what you will wear.
Is not life more
important than food,
And the body more important than clothes?
And the body more important than clothes?
(Matthew 6:25)
Therefore do not
worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.
Each day has enough
trouble of its own. (Matthew 6:34)
Do
Not Judge Others
Do not judge, or you
too will be judged.
For in the same way
you judge others, you will be judged,
And with the measure
you use, it will be measured to you. (Matthew 7:1-2)
Do
Not Give Dogs What Is Sacred
Do not give dogs
what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs.
If you do, they may
trample them under their feet,
And then turn and
tear you to pieces. (Matthew 7:6)
Ask,
Seek, Knock
Ask and it will be
given to you; seek and you will find;
Knock and the door
will be opened to you.
For everyone who
asks receives; he who seeks finds;
And to him who
knocks, the door will be opened. (Matthew 7:7-8)
Enter
Through The Narrow Gate
Enter through the
narrow gate.
For wide is the gate
and broad is the road that leads to destruction,
And many enter
through it.
But small is the
gate and narrow the road that leads to LIFE,
And only a few find
it. (Matthew 7:13-14)
Watch
Out For False Prophets
Watch out for false
prophets.
They come to you in
sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.
By their fruit you
will recognize them.
Do people pick
grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?
Every good tree
bears good fruit,
But a bad tree bears
bad fruit.
A good tree cannot
bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.
Every tree that does
not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
Thus by their fruit
you will recognize them. (Matthew 7:15-20)
Not
Everyone Will Enter The Kingdom Of Heaven
Not everyone who says
to me, 'Lord, Lord' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven,
But only he who does
the will of my Father who is in Heaven.
Many will say
to me on that day,
'Lord, Lord, did we
not prophesy in your name,
And in your name
drive out demons and perform many miracles?'
Then I will tell
them plainly, 'I never knew you.
Away from me you
evil doers!' (Matthew 7:21-23)
Wise
and Foolish Builders
Therefore everyone
who hears these words of mine
And puts them into
practice is like a wise man
Who built his house on the rock.
The rain came down,
the streams rose, and the winds blew
And beat against
that house; yet it did not fall,
Because it had its
foundation on the rock.
But everyone who
hears these words of mine
And does not put
them into practice is like a foolish man
Who built his house
on sand.
The rain came down,
the streams rose, and the winds blew
And beat against
that house, and it fell with a great crash. (Matthew 7:24-27)
As
God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
