For Wednesday evening services, the Lord has lead me to do a Bible study for practical Bible verses in Luke. Please come back to these Bible lessons in order to review them and learn them. Whenever we have learned the meaning of Bible verses and think about them throughout each day, we will be in perfect peace (Isaiah 26:3). Not only that, but when we are in a situation in our daily lives and are tempted to sin, we can think back to what we have learned from the Bible and say to ourselves, "The Bible says to not do what I am tempted to say, think, do, and/or desire right now, so I am going to refuse to give in to this temptation." This is what Romans 12:2 means, and it says, "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." This is also the pattern that Jesus used when the devil tempted Him to sin in Matthew 4:1-11.
Chapter 5
THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO LUKE
Luke 5:1-11
1And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret, 2And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets. 3And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship. 4Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. 5And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net. 6And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake. 7And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink. 8When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord. 9For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken: 10And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men. (Instead of being a fisherman, he decided to change his interest and began telling people how they can become Christians.) 11And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him.
Unlike (Matthew 4:18-22, Mark 1:16-20, and John 1:35-42), which record similar events, those who decided to forsake all and follow Jesus just witnessed a miracle that proved He was the Savior. However, those who decided to follow Jesus in John 1:35-42 heard John the Baptist proclaim that Jesus was the Lamb of God.
When someone decides to follow (imitate and obey) Jesus, they are deciding to begin living a completely new lifestyle after they pray or make a decision to become a Christian. The following two websites explain what it means to follow Jesus, and gives Biblical proof that if someone isn't consciously or unconsciously willing to begin following Jesus after they pray or make a decision to become a Christian, their heat isn't prepared to receive Jesus and become a Christian - http://chriswaug5.wix.com/nocontridiction and http://chriswaug5.wix.com/theanswer
