1. Luke 6:27-49

2. 1John 4:7-9 “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.

3. In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.”

4. Luke 6:27-34 “But to you who are willing to listen, I say, love your enemies! Do good to those who hate you. Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who hurt you. If someone slaps you on one cheek, offer the other cheek also. If someone demands your coat, offer your shirt also. ‎

5. Give to anyone who asks; and when things are taken away from you, don’t try to get them back. ‎ Do to others as you would like them to do to you. ‎ “If you love only those who love you, why should you get credit for that? Even sinners love those who love them! ‎

6. And if you do good only to those who do good to you, why should you get credit? Even sinners do that much! ‎ ‎ And if you lend money only to those who can repay you, why should you get credit? Even sinners will lend to other sinners for a full return.” ‎

7. Luke 6:35-36 “Love your enemies! Do good to them. Lend to them without expecting to be repaid. Then your reward from heaven will be very great, and you will truly be acting as children of the Most High, for He is kind to those who are unthankful and wicked.

8. ‎ You must be compassionate, just as your Father is compassionate.”

9. Luke 6:37-38 “Do not judge others, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn others, or it will all come back against you. Forgive others, and you will be forgiven.

10. Give, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full— pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back.”

11. Galatians 6:7 “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.”

12. Luke 6:39-42 “Then Jesus gave the following illustration: ‘Can one blind person lead another? Won’t they both fall into a ditch? Students are not greater than their teacher. But the student who is fully trained will become like the teacher.

13. “… applied to Christ, and is as much as if our Lord had said, ‘I am your Master, you are my disciples, and by that relation, engaged to learn of Me, and to follow Me. I have taught you no more than I am ready to practise; I am merciful, I forgive, I give, looking for nothing again.

14. I do not look that you should do anything above Me, anything as to which I have not set you, or shall not set you, an example; but your perfection lieth in coming as near to Me as you can, in being as your Master.” Matthew Poole

15. ‎ “And why worry about a speck in your friend’s eye when you have a log in your own? How can you think of saying, ‘Friend, let me help you get rid of that speck in your eye,’ when you can’t see past the log in your own eye?

16. Hypocrite! First get rid of the log in your own eye; then you will see well enough to deal with the speck in your friend’s eye.”

17. Luke 6:43-45 “A good tree can’t produce bad fruit, and a bad tree can’t produce good fruit. ‎ A tree is identified by its fruit. Figs are never gathered from thorn bushes, and grapes are not picked from bramble bushes.” ‎

18. “A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart, and an evil person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart. What you say flows from what is in your heart.”

19. Matthew 7:20 "Therefore by their fruits you will know them.”

20. “It is not merely the wicked; the bearer of poison berries that will be cut down; but the neutral, the man who bears no fruit of positive virtue must also be cast into the fire.” C. H. Spurgeon

21. Luke 6:46-49 “So why do you keep calling Me ‘Lord, Lord!’ when you don’t do what I say? ‎ I will show you what it’s like when someone comes to Me, listens to My teaching, and then follows it. ‎

22. It is like a person building a house who digs deep and lays the foundation on solid rock. When the floodwaters rise and break against that house, it stands firm because it is well built. ‎

23. “But anyone who hears and doesn’t obey is like a person who builds a house without a foundation. When the floods sweep down against that house, it will collapse into a heap of ruins.”

24. “It is not enough to hear the sayings of Christ, but we must do them; not enough to profess relation to Him, as His servants, but we must make conscience of obeying Him.” Matthew Henry

25. James 1:22-25 “But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror;

26. for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.”

27. Colossians 3:16-17 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

28. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.”
