Ever since there began to be two groups preaching and baptizing, there were those who wanted to set up a competition between them. In John 3:22-36, John the Baptist put an immediate stop to the idea of competition between Jesus and himself. His response provides not only pastors but all Christians with an excellent motto for our lives. (Here is a link to the full sermon notes.)
Dying and rising with Christ through faith transforms wives and husbands and solves the basic problem of marriages.
Although Christians may suffer much, and many things are against us, we will end up being hyper-victorious in Christ.
Faith is the means by which we are saved, obey God, and forgive our brothers and sisters.
