Alpha Notes > Chapter 15: How Can I Make the Most of the Rest of My Life? Realize that your life is a gift:
Ecclesiates 3:12 I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life. 3:13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God. Also verses 5:18-19, 8:15 & 9:9 Realize that your life has a purpose:
Ecclesiastes 3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Realize that you matter and God cares for you:
Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Realize that you don't have to die a corporeal death:
Luke 10:25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? 10:26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? 10:27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. 10:28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. John 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. John 6:47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
Matthew 6:25-34 [God feeds all life in his kingdom - why would He not tend to your needs?]
Realize that you have so much to share and give: Matthew 19:16-26 Mark 10:17-27 [Luke 10:25-37] Luke 18:18-27
Luke 11:9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
1Peter 4:10 As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
1Peter 5:6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
Hebrews 13:21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Realize that you are cherished and loved above all else:
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
