In John 14:6, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, declares “…I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” In Acts 4:12, the Bible teaches salvation comes by no other name than Jesus.”

The world’s Burger King Religion (You Can Have It Your Way) will lead us to destruction. In Proverbs 14:12, the Word of God teaches the way that seems right to us will destroy us – Proverbs 16:2. The problem is we have abandoned the Bible and God’s commandments – Jeremiah 6:16; Acts 17:11.

I. ENTER AT THE DOOR INSTEAD OF CLIMBING UP SOME OTHER WAY

Meih oix duqv njoux, oix zuqc yangh Yesu wuov diuh jauv, weic zuqc ninh ciev ziec ninh nyei maengc weic meih – Yo^han 10:7-11; Yo^han 20:30-31. Many will try to enter the sheepfold, by entering by a way God has not authorized – John 10:1-2. You must enter the door of Jesus to be saved since, He sacrificed His life that you might live – John 10:7-11;John 20:30-31.

There are two ways (2 doors) in which you can decide to enter. One way will lead you to life and the other death. Your decision will primarily be based on whether you’re carnally or spiritually minded – Romans 8:5-8 In Matthew 7:13-14, Jesus teaches many will choose the broad way of destruction, and few will choose the narrow way to life – Luke 13:24 and I Peter 3:20.

Religious groups and denominations are the wrong way because they replace the Word of God with their own traditions and doctrines of men. They’re trying to climb up into the kingdom by some other way –Mark 7:5-13; Matthew 7:21-23.

In John 14:6, Jesus says “…I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” There is only one church, one body, that God has called us out of darkness into the Light of Christ – I Peter 2:9-10. The Bible teaches the church, the body of Christ is one - I Corinthians 12:12-14; Ephesians 1:22-23; Colossians 1:18.

This is the church that Jesus purchased with His own blood - Acts 20:28. After Peter, confesses Jesus divinity, Jesus said I will build my church – Matthew 16:13-19. The church is Jesus Christ body where sinners can be added and reconciled to God in one body by the cross - Ephesians 2:13-16.

If you’ve been driving the wrong way, God wants you to turn to His Son Jesus Christ, that has made a way for you – John 8:36.

III. NJOUX EN NYEI BIAA MBIEC GONG = FIVE STEPS OF SALVATION WORK

1. HAIZ HEAR: “Hnangv naaic, mienh sienx weic zuqc ninh mbuo haiz Giduc nyei doz. Ninh mbuo duqv haiz weic zuqc maaih mienh mingh zunh bun ninh mbuo muangx.” Lomaa 10:17. Yietc nyungc jauv bun mbuo haih duqv haiz Tin-Hungh nyei waac se mbuo oix zuqc hoqc Ging-Sou. "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." Romans 10:17. In order for us to hear God’s Word, we must study the Bible. * Njoux en nyei jauv se maiv zeiz ei mienh nyei hnyouv zoux nyei sic. “ZIOUV aac, yie hiuv duqv mienh nyei jauv maiv zeiz sueih ninh ganh. Se maiv zeiz yangh jauv nyei mienh haih dingc ninh nyei zaux-mbiec.” Ye^le^mi 10:23. The way of salvation does not by the will of man. "O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps." Jeremiah 10:23. 2. SIENX BELIEVE: “Weic naaiv yie gorngv mbuox jiex meih mbuo, taux daic wuov zanc meih mbuo corc maaih jienv zuiz nyei. Se gorngv meih mbuo maiv sienx yie zoux dongh yie gorngv yie zoux wuov dauh nor, meih mbuo daic mv baac corc maaih jienv zuiz nyei." Yo^han 8:24. "I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins." John 8:24.

3. GOIV HNYOUV REPENT: “Maiv zeiz lorqc. Yie mbuox meih mbuo, se gorngv meih mbuo maiv goiv hnyouv guangc zuiz, meih mbuo yaac fih hnangv nyei oix zuqc mietc. Lugaa 13:3. "I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." Luke 13:3. * Ging-Sou njaaux gorngv, mbuo yietc liuz yaac maiv haih dunh yunh se hnangv mbuo gorngv mbuo yietc liuz yaac maiv baamz jiex zuiz nor; “Se gorngv mbuo gorngv mbuo maiv maaih zuiz, naaiv se nduov ganh










hnangv. Zien leiz maiv yiem mbuo nyei hnyouv aqv” 1 Yo^han 1:8. Hnangv haaix yaac baac, se gorngv mbuo zoux dorngc, mbuo yaac nyiemc mbuo nyei zuiz nor, Tin-Hungh zungv oix guangc bun mbuo (1 Yo^han 1:9). The Bible teaches that we will never be perfect in the sense that we will never sin; "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us." 1 John 1:8. However, as long as we try and repent when we do sin, God will forgive our sins (1 Yo^han 1:9). 4. NYIEMC ZUIZ CONFESS: “Weic zuqc mbuo longc hnyouv sienx ziouc duqv caux Tin-Hungh horpc. Mbuo longc nzuih nyiemc Yesu zoux Ziouv, mbuo ziouc duqv njoux aqv.” Lomaa 10:10. "For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Romans 10:10. *Dongh yietc norm longx jiex nyei nyungc zeiv bun mbuo hiuv taux nyiemc Yesu zoux Ziouv nyei jauv se hnangv yiem Gong-Zoh da’betv zaang gorngv nor. E^ti^o^bie domh jien gorngv mbuox Filipv, "Yie sienx aqv. Yie sienx Yesu Giduc se Tin-Hungh nyei Dorn." Gong-Zoh 8:37. The best example that we are given of this confession is found in the eighth chapter of Acts when the Ethiopian eunuch confessed, "I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God." Acts 8:37. 5. JIEX WUOM NYEI LEIZ BAPTISM: Goiv hnyouv guangc zuiz jiex wuom nyei leiz, mbuo nyei zuiz ziouc duqv guangc nqoi; Bide gorngv, "Meih mbuo dauh dauh oix zuqc goiv hnyouv guangc zuiz, dengv Yesu Giduc nyei mbuox jiex wuom nyei leiz, weic duqv Tin-Hungh guangc meih mbuo nyei zuiz. Meih mbuo ziouc duqv zipv Tin-Hungh ceix bun nyei Singx Lingh.” Gong-Zoh 2:38. It is at the point of baptism that sins are forgiven; "Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." Acts 2:38. * “Ih zanc meih zoux haaix nyungc ngaih? Jiez sin daaih dengv Yesu nyei mbuox jiex wuom nyei leiz, nzaaux guangc meih nyei zuiz.” Gong-Zoh 22:16. "And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord." Acts 22:16. Setv Mueiz Waac Conclusion: Ih hnoi nyei Ging-Sou mbuox mbuo kungx maaih nduqc diuh jauv, nduqc norm Yesu nyei mbuox hnangv bun mbuo duqv njoux. Ganh norm mbuox caux ganh nyungc zong-zei buoqc zangc jauv maiv haih njoux mbuo. Today’s scripture tells us, only one way, and one Jesus name can saved us. Other name and religion will not save us.

In this study we will examine the conversion of the Colossians as described in this passage, with a view towards understanding and appreciating our own reconciliation with God I.

Weic Yesu nyei ciev ziec nyei jauv, ninh nyei sin caux ninh nyei nziaamv, ninh mbuo ih zanc duqv caux Tin-Hungh horpc hnyouv daaih aqv. Through the offering of Jesus' body and blood, they were now reconciled to God; they are now presented to God as: (a) Cing-nzengc, saax cing-nzengc daaih, weic bun Tin-Hungh. holy - sanctified, set apart for God's use. (b) Maiv dorngx nqemh - maiv dorngx dorngc fai nqemh nyei jauv. blameless - without being guilty of anything worthy of blame. (c) Maiv maaih dorngc nyei dorngx – maiv maaih haaix nyungc dorngx ziqc duqv guai fai gorngv nyei jauv. irreproachable - guilty of nothing that can be called into to account; unreproveable, unaccused, blameless. 3.

Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens. 2 Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness. 3 Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre, 4 praise him with timbrel and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe, 5 praise him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals. 6 Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD.” (Psalm 150:1-6).





I. Longc Lingh Wuonh Zangc Tin-Hungh (Worshipping God In Spirit)

Hnangv naaic, meih mbuo oix zuqc longc meih mbuo nyei sin taaih Tin-Hungh.” Worshipping God "in spirit" means with reverence, attentiveness, and having the right purpose of honoring God, while understanding what we are doing. Hebrews 12:28-29 says,"Let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. For our God is a consuming fire." Our worship must glorify God. 1 Corinthians 6:20 says, "For you were bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s." 2.

In order to worship God in the right spirit, we must take time before worship to make ready our hearts and emotions so we will be in the proper frame of mind. We read in Psalms 89:7, "God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be held in reverence by all those around Him." Our worship must show great reverence toward God. He is our creator and He holds our eternal destiny in His hands. We must strive to please Him. We should not have to rush or hurry to worship, arriving late but should always plan to be there early enough so we can be in a worshipful attitude and spirit. Our mind must be ready, attentive, and alert. 3.

Jorm hnyouv nyei jauv haih tengx mbuo simv cuotv lueic caux maiv jorm hnyouv zoux nyei jauv. In showing reverence and respect to God, we will not be indifferent, inattentive, and taking lightly that which should be considered serious. Worship to God is holy. Our character in worship must also be holy. In 1 Peter 1:15-16 we read, "But as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in your conduct, because it is written, Be holy for I am holy." Worship which is insincere, that is not from the heart, is vain, useless, and unacceptable to God. Jesus says, "This people honors Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me" (Mark 7:6). Active participation will tend to get rid of our lack of interest and inattentiveness. 4.

Reverence is not having a long face, folded hands, or a put on look of piety. Worship is a time of joy for us. It is a time of offering thanks, adoration, love, praying, singing praises to God, feeding on His word, and proclaiming Christ to the world in partaking of the Lord’s Supper.

Jesus says in John 4:24, "God is a spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth." We must worship God in truth. Since His word is truth, we must worship Him according to His word. Here the Lord is telling us that everything we do in worship, we must have God's divine approval. Truth for one person is the same as truth for the next. God has not spoken in unclear ways.

He is not to be worshipped according to the evil and vain imaginations and devices of men. Whatever that is not commanded in scripture in our worship to God is forbidden if we are to worship God in truth. God is not obligated to accept our worship just because we offer it to Him. We dare not substitute what we want for what God has commanded if we want to please Him and go to Heaven.

There are many who think it really doesn’t matter what we believe or do in religion, just as long as we are sincere and follow our conscience. But if it doesn’t really matter what you believe, then it doesn’t matter if you even believe at all. This philosophy exalts our conscience above the word of God. This makes our conscience our only guide and ignores what God says in the Bible. This philosophy originated with man and not with God. This is telling God we are going to worship Him the way we choose and we don’t really care what He has to say. Every man then becomes his own authority thereby eliminating the authority of God, the Bible. This attitude must greatly hurt the one who gave His life for us.

Many people want to do what they think best and what seems right to them. We are warned not to do this in Proverbs 14:12, "There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death." According to what God says we can loose our soul by doing what seems right in our own eyes. God’s word is no longer our guide, but it has been replaced with creed books, disciplines, manuals, confessions, etc. Men want to do


things their way and as it seems right in their own eyes. Please consider the consequences of being deceived by error. What a pity it will be to stand before the Lord on Judgment Day having been fooled into accepting the unlawful religions of the denominational world. What a terrible fate to believe error to be truth only to be lost for all of eternity.

Naaiv se hnangv yiem Gong-Zoh 17:22-23, Baulo gorngv mbuox Aataen nyei zuangx mienh nor. The philosophy of doing what seems right in our eyes has vastly altered the way people attempt to worship God. They rationalize that God will accept it. People can rationalize away just about anything they want if they work at it hard and long enough, and because of this people worship God in ignorance. This just as the apostle Paul told the Athenians in Acts 17:22-23 (KJV).

He finds religious groups practicing something and he decides what the majority does must be right and acceptable to God. The Bible says the majority of people are going to be eternally lost. Jesus says in Matthew 7:l3-14, "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it." So we don’t want to depend on the majority to determine what is right for us and follow them. If we do we will also end up being lost in the eternal fires of Hell.

God is the only one who has the right to determine how He is to be worshipped. He will only accept that which is in harmony with His prescribed will. God instructs us how to worship Him acceptably through His word in the Bible (Ephesians 5:15-20).

God has always made it plainly to us for worship that is acceptable to Him (Romans 12:1-2; 1 Thessalonians 4:3-8).

An example of acceptable and unacceptable worship in the Old Testament is that of Cain and Abel. Cain and Abel both worshipped God. Abel did as God directed, but Cain tried to worship God the way he saw fit. We read in Genesis 4:3-7, " In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the LORD. 4 But Abel brought fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The LORD looked with favor on Abel and his offering, 5 but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast. 6 Then the LORD said to Cain, "Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? 7 If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must master it." 3.

Hebrews 11:4 tells us, "By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain." Notice Abel offered his sacrifice "by faith" but Cain did not. Romans 10:17 says, "So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." So faith comes by the word of God. Abel offered his sacrifice by faith or according to the word of God. If we worship God by faith, we worship as the word of God directs.

Abel offered the firstborn of his flock "by faith" and it was accepted because his worship was according to the instructions of God. But Cain chose to ignore God’s instructions and sacrificed an offering of the fruit of the ground to the Lord. Cain chose to sacrifice to God the way he saw fit. Cain did not offer his sacrifice according to God’s instructions, so God rejected his sacrifice and worship, since it was not "by faith".

Bible says, "For whatever is not from faith is sin." (Romans 14:23; James 4:17). If our


worship is not "by faith", that is it is not "by the word of God", then it "is sin". It will also be rejected just like Cain’s. It is a very serious matter if God rejects our worship. If He does we are going to be lost. Many people accept from the Bible what they like and reject what they don't like. They also add other things that they like. This is not Christianity but religious anarchy. We do not have the right to "believe as we please." Let us see another example of Aaron’s sons. Numbers 3:3-4, “ Those were the names of Aaron's sons, the anointed priests, who were ordained to serve as priests. 4 Nadab and Abihu, however, fell dead before the LORD when they made an offering with unauthorized fire before him in the Desert of Sinai. They had no sons; so only Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests during the lifetime of their father Aaron.

Obey God mean do exactly what God says, no more, no less. One cannot obey God without doing what God says to do, when God says to do it, how God says to do it and for the reason God says to do it. If what we do in worship is not according to the word of God, then it is vain and useless and will cause us to be eternally lost.

Se gorngv mbuo ei jienv Tin-Hungh nyei waac buoqc zangc nor, Tin-Hungh duqv taaih yaac duqv njang-laangc. Our Lord says in Mark 7:7, "And in vain do they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men." When we follow the commandments of men instead of God’s instructions, our worship becomes vain. If our worship is vain, it is empty, hollow, and useless. It will do us no good. If it is vain, it would be as though we had not worshipped God at all and we will be lost. When we worship in the way "we want" then God is dishonored and insulted. When we worship the way God has told us in His word, God is honored and glorified.

As we read in John 4:24, "God is a Spirit, and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth." To worship in truth is to worship as the word of God directs. Jesus said in John 17:17, "Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth." Since the word of God is truth, when we worship God in truth, we worship Him according to His word. The only way God will accept our worship is to follow His directions in the Bible. Any worship, that is not authorized by God's word in the Bible, is not in truth and is vain.

3. Yiem Ho^se^yaa 4:6 Tin-Hungh gorngv, “Yie nyei baeqc fingx zuqc mietc laaix maiv maaih wuonh zaang. "Weic zuqc meih mbuo nqemh wuonh zaang, yie ziouc nqemh meih mbuo, maiv bun meih mbuo zoux sai mienh fu-sux yie. Weic zuqc meih mbuo la'kuqv meih mbuo nyei Tin-Hungh nyei leiz-latc, yie yaac oix la'kuqv meih mbuo nyei zeiv-fun.” Se gorngv mbuo maiv hiuv duqv Tin-Hungh oix mbuo zoux nyei jauv nor, mbuo zoux nyei jauv se hoic zuqc mbuo ganh, weic laaix mbuo maiv maaih wuonh zaang.

Se gorngv mbuo maiv gunv taux Tin-Hungh nyei waac njaaux mbuo nor, mbuo ziouc ndortv njiec taux jaav leiz nyei jauv. God says in Hosea 4:6, “My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. "Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children." If we don’t know what God says, we are going to be destroyed or lost for our lack of knowledge. It is sad to say but the vast majority of people are illiterate of God’s word. They don’t care what God’s tells them how to do it. When we don't care what God's word teaches us, then we will fall into the false doctrines. 4. Haaix zanc mienh maiv oix ei Tin-Hungh njaaux nyei hnangv haaix nor buoqc zangc Ninh nor, ninh mbuo nyei lingh wuonh hnangv m’zing-mbuov mienh nor lorz maiv buatc jauv mingh.

Kungx zien leiz hnangv haih bungx nqoi mbuo, mv zeiz aeqv mbuo corc oix zuqc yiem zuiz gu’nyuoz.

When people are ignorant of God’s directions on how He is to be worshipped, they wander in spiritual darkness. Our Lord says in Matthew 15:14, "And if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into the ditch." We must first have a desire to know the truth of God's will and then be willing to change when we find we are wrong and are not worshipping according to His truth. Jesus says in John 8:32, "And you shall know the truth and the truth


shall make you free." Only the truth can make us free, otherwise we are still under the bondage of sin. We may be sincere in our worship, and we must be, but if we do not worship God "in truth", that is as God directs, then our worship will be vain and unacceptable to God.

5. Caux se gorngv buoqc zangc Tin-Hungh yiem zien leiz, mv baac maiv longc lingh wuonh buoqc zangc nor, yaac maiv lamh longc, naaiv yaac fih hnangv nyei maiv taaih Tin-Hungh.

Also if we try to worship God "in truth" but not "in spirit", that is not with the proper motive of honoring God and with reverence, then we are just practicing ritualism and our heart is far from it. This type of worship is also vain and unacceptable to God, for Jesus says in Matthew 15:8, "These people draw near to Me with their mouth, and honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me." We must worship God both in spirit and in truth.

The result was that both Eli and his sons perished in judgment (1 Sam. 4:11,18). (8) Se gorngv meih gengh hnamv meih nyei fu’jueiv nyei nor, meih ziouc gaengh hatc njaaux mborqv njaaux ninh.

If you love your child, you will be strong in your discipline toward him or her. Have you sat down with your child and counseled and comforted them and one over the blueprint of their life with them?

You may not climb the path to fame, but give your children the joy of a blameless name. And after you have lovingly given them the rod, place them in the hands of God, because one day you're going to release your child and he or she will grow according to the seeds that are planted in their heart. 7.

You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor." (Exodus 20:17). People who gambling wants to get rich faster, but they don’t want to work hard.

In Jeremiah 9:23-24, Jeremiah relays a message from God that applies very well today. 23 Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:24 But let him that gloried glory in this, that he understand and know me, that I

Genesis 2:18, 21-23: The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him." 21 So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs and closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. 23 The man said, "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called 'woman,' for she was taken out of man."

DONGH HAIH DUQV ZOUX ZIANGX NINH NYEI MOUZ DEIC, NINH LONGC NYUNGC-NYUNGC NYEI ZA’EIX: TO ACCOMPLISH HIS GOAL, HE USED EVERY APPROPRIATE MEANS:





1. Ninh zunh Yesu Giduc! He preached Jesus Christ! a. Ninh zunh Giduc Yesu nyei kuv fienx. He proclaimed the good news of Jesus Christ b. Ninh nyei maengc, Ninh njaaux nyei jauv, Ninh daic nyei jauv, Ninh panh nangh daaih nyei jauv. His life, His teachings, His death, His resurrection c. Kungx biux mengh taux Giduc bun mienh hiuv hnangv, zunh doz fin-saeng haih dorh mienh hlo duqv gaux zuangv Giduc nyei fai? – 2 Ko^lin^to 3:18. Only by so presenting Christ to the man, can a preacher hope to present the man to Christ as complete and mature? - 2 Corinthians 3:18 2. Ninh yaac donv taux haaix zanc maaih kuv ziangh hoc horpc zuqc zoux nyei jauv! Ninh nyei zunh doz waac maaih deix tengx duqv mienh, maaih deix yaac tengx maiv duqv. He warned when necessary! His preaching was both positive and negative!. a. Zeiz nyei, maaih deix ziangh hoc zunh doz nyei waac maiv haih tengx maiv duqv mienh yaac maaih nyei. Yes, there is a place for negative preaching. (1) Ziepc diuh lingc; donv mienh, caux njaaux mienh nyei jauv se hnangv duqv gorngv taux yiem 2 Ti^mo^tai 3:16. The Ten Commandments; the reproof and correction mentioned in 2 Timothy 3:16 (2) Dongh tengx maiv duqv mienh nyei zunh doz waac se zoux bun mienh haiz doix-dekc taux ninh mbuo, haiz benx hepc nyei jauv bun taux ninh mbuo nyei maengc.

Zeiz nyei, horpc zuqc maaih doix-dangc nyei jauv yiem zunh doz nyei waac, oix maaih orn hnyouv nyei waac caux jienv. Of course, it must be properly balanced with positive preaching (1) M’zei aeqv, mbuo kungx nzin faaux nzin njiec nyei hnangv, maiv maaih haaix nyungc longx nyei jauv. Otherwise, we will simply bounce around and get hung up on the restraining rails, never making progress in our journey. (2) Tengx duqv mienh nyei zunh doz waac se dongh mienh haiz orn ninh nyei hnyouv, njaaux ninh mbuo, tengx ninh mbuo, naaiv nyungc zunh doz waac se benx horpc nyei jauv.

Ninh maiv simv jienv wuic dorngh nyei dorngx. He did not limit himself to the public forum




b. Ninh yaac njaaux yietc lengh nyei dorngx fih hnangv nyei – Gong-Zoh 20:20. He taught with private instruction as well - Acts 20:20 c.

To present every man perfect in Christ Jesus, there is often a need for personal instruction that one does not find in the public assemblies of the church d. Zeiz nyei, cong-mengh tengx mbuo haih dingc haaix zanc - Ko^lo^si 1:28. Of course, wisdom helps to determine when - Colossians 1:28 1. Ninh haih mbuo koi nqoi hnamv nyei jauv.

So he always looked to God for help in accomplishing his goal - 2 Thessalonians 3:1; Colossians 4:3-4 Setv Mueiz Nyei Waac Conclusion: Ih hnoi naaiv ginc hoqc nyei setv mueiz waac, mbuo dorh daaih longc nyei jauv se benx waac-naaic nyei jauv. In concluding this lesson, again I seek to make application by asking: 1. Mbuo zuotc Baulo nyei nyungc zoux nyei fai? Are we imitators of Paul? 2. Mbuo duqv hnamv taux fai cauh fim taux mbuo nyei gorx-youz haih duqv benx dunh yunh nyei Giduc Mienh nyei fai? Are we concerned about whether or not our brethren and others are being presented perfect in Christ? 3. Mbuo maaih hnyouv hnamv taux oix bun mbuo zoux nyei gong jangv cuotv jomc lungh ndiev nyei fai? Are we willing to expend the effort and the emotion necessary to reach this end? 4. Se gorngv mbuo oix nyei nor -If we will: (a) Mangc mbuo ganh hnangv Baulo mangc ninh ganh nor, buatc ninh se benx dauh bou yaac benx dauh goux jaa-dingh nyei mienh.

Ephesians 5:1-20: Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children 2 and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. 3 But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people. 4 Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. 5 For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a man is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. 6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God's wrath comes on those who are disobedient. 7 Therefore do not be partners with them. 8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light 9 (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) 10 and find out what pleases the Lord. 11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. 12 For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. 13 But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, 14 for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said: "Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you." 15 Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is.18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit. 19 Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, 20 always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ? 17 Because there is one loaf, we, who are many, are one body, for we all partake of the one loaf. 18 Consider the people of Israel: Do not those who eat the sacrifices participate in the altar? 19 Do I mean then that a sacrifice offered to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything? 20 No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God, and I do not want you to be participants with demons. 21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both the Lord's table and the table of demons. 2.

1. Our next lesson will look at some of those false doctrines those at Colosse were facing which promised much, but gave nothing of true value 2. For the moment, let's close by asking two questions: (a) Why should we even be concerned with growing in spiritual maturity in Christ? (b) Because in Him are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge - Colossians 2:3. (c) Because He has warned of what will occur if we do not mature and bear fruit - John 15:1-2. (d) How does one initially receive Christ as Lord? (e) By doing what He says, i.e., the Father's will - Luke 6:46; Matthew 7:21. (f) This includes the command to repent and be baptized, for in so doing one receives the remission of sins as they also put on Christ - Acts 2:36-38; Galatians 3:26-27 15. Gambling is a Moral Issue.

Once we die to sin, it can no longer reign in our body; rather, we must live unto God (v.11). 5. Mbuo horpc zuqc zorqv ganh fungx bun Tin-Hungh. We are to yield ourselves unto God (v.13). 6.
