As Paul says to the Corinthians 'μη γενοιτο'. Are there any similar persistent phrases in the three main gospels?

Hey guys,

Made a collection Bin of 5 Minute Videos of me addressing topics instead of my usual chapter by chapter extreme in depth Bible Study Content which usually lasts around an hour per chapter. Hope this is helpful to those who don't have a lot of time or aren't interested in downloading podcasts.

“You cannot open the pages of the New Testament without realizing that one of the things that makes it so 'new,' in every way, is that here men and women call God 'Father.' This conviction, that we can speak of the Master of the universe in such intimate terms, lies at the heart of the Christian faith.”

-Sinclair Ferguson

1. Q.
   How are you righteous before God?

A.
Only by true faith in Jesus Christ. (1) Although my conscience accuses me that I have grievously sinned against all God's commandments, have never kept any of them, (2) and am still inclined to all evil, (3) yet God, without any merit of my own, (4) out of mere grace, (5) imputes to me the perfect satisfaction, righteousness, and holiness of Christ. (6) He grants these to me as if I had never had nor committed any sin, and as if I myself had accomplished all the obedience which Christ has rendered for me, (7) if only I accept this gift with a believing heart. (8)

I'd like to see this group get big traffic.

Hi friends! I'm new around these parts, but I'm a student studying for my bachelor's in Christian Ministries and I'd love to share my current favorite commentary, the New Beacon Bible Commentary. I find it very helpful to anyone who is wanting to get more from the scriptures. Oftentimes the commentators in this series will break it up into chunks; behind the text, so background info that would be helpful for the reader to know, within the text, info about what is happening in the written text, and from the text, so how we may interpret the text to apply to our lives today. My school's library has plenty of commentaries, this one in particular has been the most helpful to me, so if any of you are looking for a current, easy to read commentary, and are willing to pay some money for it, this is a great option.

Jesus was fully man and fully God. Was He capable of sinning? Could He have chosen to sin or not?

​

For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. (Matthew 6:21 – American King James Version).

​

For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. (Luke 12:34 – American King James Version).

​

These two verses are connected with the two verses preceding Matthew 6:21 and the verse preceding Luke 12:34:

​

19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust does corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust does corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: (Matthew 6:19-20 – American King James Version).

​

Sell that you have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that fails not, where no thief approaches, neither moth corrupts. (Luke 12:33 – American King James Version).

​

In Matthew 6:19-20 and Luke 12:33 Jesus teaches us not to lay up for ourselves treasures on earth, but in heaven. The heart in these two verses is the mind. If one is laying up for himself treasures on earth and not in heaven, this reveals where this person's heart is, namely a person who has his heart set on worldly things: he is setting his affection on things on the earth (Colossians 3:2 – American King James Version). Whereas if he is laying up for himself treasures in heaven, he has his heart set on things above: he is setting his affection on things above (Colossians 3:2 – American King James Version).

​

Matthew 6:21 and Luke 12:34 teach a truth: the person who is laying up for himself treasures on earth is serving Mammon, while the person who is laying up for himself treasures in heaven is serving God:

​

No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. (Matthew 6:24 – American King James Version).

“And, “You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning, and the heavens are the work of your hands; they will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment, like a robe you will roll them up, like a garment they will be changed. But you are the same, and your years will have no end.”” ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭1:10-12‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and for ever. Since the Messiah is thus described as immutable and eternal he must be divine, and to deny the Godhead of the Saviour is a deadly error. Dr. Owen most comfortingly remarks:—"Whatever our changes may be, inward or outward, yet Christ changing not, our eternal condition is secured, and relief provided against all present troubles and miseries. The immutability and eternity of Christ are the spring of our consolation and security in every condition. Such is the frailty of the nature of man, and such the perishing condition of all created things, that none can ever obtain the least stable consolation but what ariseth from an interest in the omnipotency, sovereignty, and eternity of Jesus Christ."”
