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.

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO LUKE

Luke 14:28-33

28For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? 29Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him, 30Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish. 31Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand? 32Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace. 33So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. (These verses are making the point that if someone doesn't count the cost (realize what they are getting themselves into/understanding how they will need to live) before they make a decision to become a Christian, are harming their chance of really becoming a Christian after they trust Jesus' death on the cross to erase their sins and believe He arose from the dead/accept Him as their Savior. (For information on this, see chapter 4 of this book - www.areyousureyouaresaved.com) Verse 33 doesn't mean that someone has to literally give away their possessions; it means that someone has to be consciously or unconsciously willing to begin living a brand-new lifestyle (follow Jesus - live a lifestyle similar to the one explained in chapter 39 of this book - www.areyousureyouaresaved.com) after they pray or make a decision to become a Christian. This prepares a person's heart to receive Jesus before they pray or make a decision to become a Christian. (For in-depth, biblical proof of these things, see chapters 1-9 of this book - www.areyousureyouaresaved.com)
