Foundations of Faith and Life in Jesus
Lesson 10 - Principles for Living
Questions: What is: Faith? Trust? Love? How should I live? What should I do? What does the Bible say?
Faith in God - Hebrews 11:1,6, Mark 10:52, Matthew 17:20, Ephesians 2:8,9, Galatians 2:16, Philippians 3:9, Romans 3:22,28, 5:1, 10:17, 2 Corinthians 5:7, John 14:12And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must
believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

he will rise again."
Luke 18:31-33
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways
acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear

2 Timothy 1:7
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than
yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of
others.
Philippians 2:3,4
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is
not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in
evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always
perseveres.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to say "No" to
ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this
present age.
Titus 2:11,12
Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise
man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew
and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But
everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish
man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew
and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.

such things.

to become angry.

You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a
