“ If you love your father or mother more than you love me, you are not worthy of being mine; or if you love your son or daughter more than me, you are not worthy of being mine.If you refuse to take up your cross and follow me, you are not worthy of being mine.

Joyful are those who obey his laws and search for him with all their hearts.

And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength.

How can a young person stay pure? By obeying your word.I have tried hard to find you— don’t let me wander from your commands.I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.

Look straight ahead, and fix your eyes on what lies before you.Mark out a straight path for your feet; stay on the safe path.Don’t get sidetracked; keep your feet from following evil.

My father taught me,“ Take my words to heart. Follow my commands, and you will live.

Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.

Let those who are wise understand these things. Let those with discernment listen carefully. The paths of the Lord are true and right, and righteous people live by walking in them. But in those paths sinners stumble and fall.

Those who are wise will take all this to heart; they will see in our history the faithful love of the Lord.

My child, never forget the things I have taught you. Store my commands in your heart.

Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong.

Either way, Christ’s love controls us. Since we believe that Christ died for all, we also believe that we have all died to our old life.He died for everyone so that those who receive his new life will no longer live for themselves. Instead, they will live for Christ, who died and was raised for them.

“ If you want to be my disciple, you must, by comparison, hate everyone else— your father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters— yes, even your own life. Otherwise, you cannot be my disciple.

Because of that experience, we have even greater confidence in the message proclaimed by the prophets. You must pay close attention to what they wrote, for their words are like a lamp shining in a dark place— until the Day dawns, and Christ the Morning Star shines in your hearts.

They even did more than we had hoped, for their first action was to give themselves to the Lord and to us, just as God wanted them to do.
