terms.”—Luke 17:33

death. But God’s gift is real life, eternal life, delivered by

best you can with your own life.—Galatians 6:5

Your old life is dead. Your new life, which is your
real life—even though invisible to spectators—is with

of God. It cost God plenty to get you out of
that dead-end, empty-headed life you grew up in.
—1 Peter 1:17-18

Your new life is not like your old life. Your old birth
came from mortal sperm; your new birth comes from
God’s living Word. Just think: a life conceived by God
himself!—1 Peter 1:23

If we claim that we experience a shared life with him
and continue to stumble around in the dark, we’re
obviously lying through our teeth—we’re not living
what we claim.—1 John 1:6

If someone claims, “I know him well!” but doesn’t
keep his commandments, he’s obviously a liar. His life
doesn’t match his words.—1 John 2:4

live the same kind of life Jesus lived.—1 John 2:6
