Spirituality
Jesus, who came from heaven, teaches some basic principles of the spirit life. If he had not revealed these things, we would not have known.
Matthew 12:22-37; Mark 3:19-30
- A divided kingdom, city or house cannot stand (v. 25). Seventeen centuries later American colonists acknowledged this with their motto “United We Stand.”
- Satan will not empower one to cast out demons (v. 26).
- Casting out demons is evidence of the kingdom of God at work (v. 28).
- One is either with Jesus or against him. There is no neutrality (v. 30).
- Blasphemy against the Spirit of God is unforgiveable (v. 31-32).
- Speech is an indicator of character (v. 35).
- We are accountable for EVERY word we speak (v. 36).
- Our words shall be entered in evidence on judgment day (v. 37).
