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 13
THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO LUKE
My copy and paste feature doesn't keep the words that are supposed to be italicized, so instead of me doing it manually, refer to a Bible to see which words are italicized.
Luke 13:1-5
1There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. 2And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things? 3I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. 4Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? 5I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
Jesus is making the point that the result of sin isn't only physical death, but spiritual death in hell, no matter how notorious of sinners we are. The command Jesus is giving us is to repent, and the thing we need to repent of is our sin. Jesus isn't telling us to believe in Him; He is telling us to repent, and these are separate things. (For proof of this, see chapters 1 and 5 of this book - www.areyousureyouaresaved.com and this message - https://chriswaug5.wixsite.com/november5) Sin is clearly the topic in these verses, and we must be willing to stop sinning (saying, thinking, doing, and desiring things that God hates - For examples of sins, see chapters 18 and 35 of this book - www.areyousureyouaresaved.com) on purpose, after we accept Jesus as our Savior (repent).
