God’s Tools

b. Eph 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:

James 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

2. Health and Character Development

1 Cor 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

1 Cor 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

b. Prov 4:20 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.

c. Prov 1:5 A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:

Prov 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

3. Health and Prayer

a. Prov 28:9 He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.

Prov 30:5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.

b. Psa 119:138 Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful.

Gal 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

4. Further Education

a. 1 Tim 6:11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

b. Prov 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

5. Patriarchal Examples

a. Heb 11:5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

2 Cor 4:18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
