1. Bible Topic

a) To learn what the Bible has to say on a variety of topics affecting our everyday lives, we may find what we are looking for here.

2. Change

a) No matter what you may be, Jesus can change you. It's in the Bible, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, NKJV. "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God."

b) Inward changes should lead to outward changes. It’s in the Bible, 1 John 2:6, TLB. “Anyone who says he is a Christian should live as Christ did.”

c) As we keep our eyes on Jesus and His character, our character changes to reflect His glory. It's in the Bible, 2 Corinthians 3:18, NKJV. "But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord."

d) Jesus will change us outwardly when He comes again. It's in the Bible, 1 Corinthians 15:51-52, NKJV.  "Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed— in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed."

e) Does God ever change? No. It's in the Bible, Malachi 3:6, NKJV. "For I am the LORD, I do not change; therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob."

f) One day, this earth will be changed, but God will still be the same. It's in the Bible, Psalm 102:25-26, NKJV. "Of old You laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands.  They will perish, but You will endure; Yes, they will all grow old like a garment; like a cloak You will change them, and they will be changed. But You are the same, and Your years will have no end."
