From Handbook to Renewal
The Attributes of God
You are the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who keeps His covenant of lovingkindness. (Nehemiah 9:32)
To whom can I liken You or count You equal? To whom can I compare You that You may be alike? (Isaiah 46:5)
The Works of God
An hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live. For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself, and He has given Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man. (John 5:25–27)
We will all stand before the judgment seat of God. For it is written, “As I live, says the Lord, every knee will bow before Me, and every tongue will confess to God.” So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God. (Romans 14:10b–12)
My Relationship to God
There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death. (Romans 8:1–2)
I did not receive a spirit of slavery again to fear, but I received the Spirit of adoption by whom I cry, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself testifies with my spirit that I am a child of God. (Romans 8:15–16)
The Character I Want to Cultivate
A talebearer reveals secrets, but he who is trustworthy conceals a matter. (Proverbs 11:13)
These are the things I shall do: speak the truth to others, judge with truth and justice for peace, not plot evil against my neighbor, and not love a false oath; for all these things the Lord hates. (Zechariah 8:16–17)
My Relationship to Others
You have called us to go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything You have commanded us. And surely You are with us always, even to the end of the age. (Matthew 28:19–20)
As the Father sent the Son into the world, He also has sent us into the world. And He has prayed for those who will believe in Him through our message. (John 17:18, 20)
