Transcript Slide 1

1. READ THE WORD OF GOD
1 Peter 2:2 as newborn babes, desire the pure
milk of the word, that you may grow thereby
Psalm 19:7 The law of the LORD is perfect,
converting the soul; The testimony of the LORD is
sure, making wise the simple; 8 The statutes of
the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; The
commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening
the eyes; 9 The fear of the LORD is clean,
enduring forever; The judgments of the LORD are
true and righteous altogether. 10 More to be
desired are they than gold, Yea, than much fine
gold; Sweeter also than honey and the
honeycomb.
2. SPEND TIME IN PRAYER
1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful
and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us
from all unrighteousness.
Philippians 4:6 Be anxious for nothing, but in
everything by prayer and supplication, with
thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to
God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all
understanding, will guard your hearts and minds
through Christ Jesus.
Ephesians 3:14 For this reason I bow my knees to
the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 from
whom the whole family in heaven and earth is
named, 16 that He would grant you, according to
the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with
might through His Spirit in the inner man,
Ephesians 6:18 praying always with all prayer
and supplication in the Spirit …19 that utterance
may be given to me, that I may open my mouth
boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel,
James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask
of God, who gives to all liberally and without
reproach, and it will be given to him. 6 But let
him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who
doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed
by the wind. 7 For let not that man suppose that
he will receive anything from the Lord;
Colossians 4:2 Continue earnestly in prayer, being
vigilant in it with thanksgiving;
3. SING PRAISES
Acts 16:25 But at midnight Paul and Silas were
praying and singing hymns to God, and the
prisoners were listening to them.
Hebrews 13:15 Therefore by Him let us
continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God,
that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His
name.
Colossians 3:16 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.
Ephesians 5:19 speaking to one another in
psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing
and making melody in your heart to the Lord
James 5:13 Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing
psalms.
4. FELLOWSHIP WITH BRETHREN
Ecclesiastes 4:9 Two are better than one, Because
they have a good reward for their labor. 10 For if
they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe
to him who is alone when he falls, For he has no
one to help him up. 11 Again, if two lie down
together, they will keep warm; But how can one
be warm alone? 12 Though one may be
overpowered by another, two can withstand him.
And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
Ephesians 4:15 but, speaking the truth in love,
may grow up in all things into Him who is the
head -- Christ -- 16 from whom the whole body,
joined and knit together by what every joint
supplies, according to the effective working by
which every part does its share, causes growth of
the body for the edifying of itself in love.
Hebrews 10:24 And let us consider one another in
order to stir up love and good works, 25 not
forsaking the assembling of ourselves together,
as is the manner of some, but exhorting one
another, and so much the more as you see the
Day approaching.
1 Thessalonians 5:11 Therefore comfort each
other and edify one another, just as you also are
doing.
Hebrews 3:12 Beware, brethren, lest there be in
any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing
from the living God; 13 but exhort one another
daily, while it is called "Today," lest any of you be
hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
5. DO GOOD WORKS
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace you have been saved
through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the
gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should
boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in
Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared
beforehand that we should walk in them.
Matthew 5:16 "Let your light so shine before
men, that they may see your good works and
glorify your Father in heaven.
James 1:22 But be doers of the word, and not
hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved
brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always
abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that
your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
Galatians 6:9 And let us not grow weary while
doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we
do not lose heart. 10 Therefore, as we have
opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to
those who are of the household of faith.
We have seen that the 5BX Spiritual Fitness Plan
contains these five elements:
1.Read The Word Of God
2.Spend Time In Prayer
3.Sing Praises
4.Fellowship With Brethren
5.Do Good Works
1 Corinthians 9:24 Do you not know that those
who run in a race all run, but one receives the
prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it.
25 And everyone who competes for the prize is
temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a
perishable crown, but we for an imperishable
crown. 26 Therefore I run thus: not with
uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats
the air. 27 But I discipline my body and bring it
into subjection, lest, when I have preached to
others, I myself should become disqualified.
1 Timothy 4:7 But reject profane and old wives'
fables, and exercise yourself toward godliness. 8
For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is
profitable for all things, having promise of the life
that now is and of that which is to come. 9 This is
a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance.
