This is the final day of the 15 day scripture memory challenge! God bless you all who were able to participate. I pray the verses you've now engrafted into your heart will be there forever as you strive to live according to God's Word!
Ye also are become dead to law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.
but rather dead to it. We are now under grace, under a new law of love. But what did Paul mean when he said that now that we're dead to the law, we can "be married to another"? Christians and non-Christians get married whether or not their dead to the law... I was thinking of "another" as meaning one another here on earth-- husband and wife. Especially since he continued by saying, "even to him who is raised from the dead" as though that were in addition to us being married on earth, not as though he was affirming what he just said by saying it more specifically. But then I realized Paul is referring to Jesus Christ and us when he said "be married to another." not men and women on earth! I
know, most of you are probably laughing at me for getting a verse like this all confused in my head, especially since you probably didn't think twice about taking it that way, but alas, I'm definitely still learning! :)
It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.
Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.

If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 
Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honor preferring one another; If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. Romans 12:10, 13
Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend. 1 Corinthians 8:13
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; His leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
A price has to be paid for success. Almost invariably those who have reached the summits worked harder and longer, studied and planned more assiduously, practiced more self-denial, overcame more difficulties than those of us who have not risen so far.

Are you ready for another challenge? This one starts tomorrow and will continue for the next 15 days. I have been provided with a list of 15 verses that will, if engrafted into my heart, equip me to defend myself against the devil, who would kill, steal and destroy anything in my life that is pleasing to the Lord. I want you to have these same defenses in your heart! So in an effort to make this blog as useful to you as possible, I will attempt to post one new passage of Scripture every morning for the next 15 mornings. The verses I'll be sharing will be tools to victory in my life, and I know they will be tools to victory in your life as well if you join me in the challenge!
"Thy word have I hid in mine heart that I might not sin against thee."
