Quotes from the Bible that will help you better understand spiritual laws and change your life in all aspects.
The Bible is the written word of God. It gives life to everything! I want to share with you some amazing scriptures that will 100% change your life! One condition: do what is written there and believe! In some verses I used a modern translation.
“All Scripture is inspired and useful: it helps to teach, reprove, correct, instruct how to live an honest life.”
— Bible, book of 2 Timothy, chapter 3, verse 16
Love your loved ones
“Beloved! If God loved us so much, then we should love each other. No one has ever seen God: if we love each other, then God abides in us, and His love is perfect in us.”
— Bible, book of 1 John, chapter 4, verses 11-12
The attitude towards people determines the true attitude towards God. How can you love someone you don't see if you hate someone you see?
Love people. Take care of them. Starting today, start with a simple smile and a kind word for those around you. Then, the Bible promises, love will increase in your heart.
Love your enemies
“But I say to you: love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who despitefully use you and persecute you.”
— Bible, Gospel of Matthew, chapter 5, verse 44
Remember: negativity causes negativity. If we react negatively to some bad things, the fire will only get worse. The only way to extinguish it is to return good for evil. Moreover, not only for appearances, but sincerely and from the bottom of my heart.
Think about those who offended you, hurt you, betrayed you. Understand, they are worse off than you! If they hurt others, then they themselves are hurt. Why be offended by those whose souls are already “on disability”? Ask God for healing and peace for your offenders, and you will see amazing changes!

Babylonian pandemonium (in a figurative sense - turmoil, complete disorder). In Church Slavonic, “pandemonium” means the construction of a pillar or tower.
The book of Genesis tells about the attempt of people to build a tower to heaven in the city of Babylon in order to fulfill their ambitious plans and immortalize themselves in the eyes of their descendants. God punished the proud people and, confusing their languages so that they ceased to understand each other, scattered them throughout the entire earth (Genesis 11:1-9).
Return to square one (return to the beginning of some life stage). “And the wind returns to its circles” (Eccl. 1:6).

At the forefront (main thing, priority). “The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner” (Ps. 117:22). Quoted many times in the New Testament (Matt. 21:42; Mark 12:10; Luke 20:17; Acts 4:11; 1 Peter 2:7).
Return of the Prodigal Son. Prodigal Son (repentant apostate). From the parable of the prodigal son, which tells how one of the sons, having claimed his share of the inheritance, left his father’s house and began to lead a dissolute life until he squandered the entire inheritance and began to endure poverty and humiliation. Having returned with repentance to his father, he was joyfully forgiven by him (Luke 15:11-32).

The second part of the expression (time to collect stones) is used to mean: time of creation.
Every creature in pairs. From the story of the Flood - about the inhabitants of Noah's Ark. (Gen. 6:19-20; 7:1-8).
Trust God
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in all circumstances, whether through prayer, petition, or thanksgiving, may your requests be made known to God, and may the peace that comes from God, which surpasses your understanding, guard your hearts and minds throughout Christ Jesus."

— Bible, Philippians, chapter 4, verses 6-7
Trusting means not worrying. At all. No way. Open your requests, needs, desires to God, and expect answers with faith! They will definitely be there!
But if you are always worried, doubting, saying negative things about yourself and your life, this often blocks God’s decisions. Trusting in God brings deep peace to the heart.
About faith
And without faith it is impossible to please God; for he who comes to God must believe that He exists and is a rewarder of those who seek Him. Heb. 11.6.
According to your faith, so be it unto you. Mf. 9:29.
..your faith has saved you; Go in peace and be well from your illness. Mk. 5.34.
Jesus said to him, “You will not believe unless you see signs and wonders.” In. 4.48.
And whatever you ask in prayer with faith, you will receive. Matthew 21:22.
He came as a witness, to testify about the Light, so that through him all might believe. John 1:7.
Didn’t I tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God? John 11:40.
For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead. James 2:26.
Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the assurance of things not seen. Heb. 11:1.
The righteous will live by faith. Heb. 10:38.
He who believes in Him is not condemned, but he who does not believe is already condemned for not believing in the name of the Only Begotten Son of God. John 3:18.

Goodbye
“And as you stand and pray, forgive whatever you have against anyone, so that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your sins.”
— Bible, Gospel of Mark, chapter 11, verse 25
You can pray for days, but if there is unforgiveness in your soul, you are cut off from God's mercy, and therefore from His blessings. I repeat: your attitude towards people determines God’s attitude towards you!
From Matthew
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Give to the one who asks from you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.
Let the dead bury their dead.
As you want people to do to you, do the same to them.
Those who take the sword will die by the sword.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
Do not give holy things to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet.
When you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.
The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few.
Freely you have received, freely give.
He who exalts himself will be humbled; and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
Cry from the heart
“Call to Me and I will answer you, I will show you great and inaccessible things that you do not know.”
— Bible, book of Jeremiah, chapter 33, verse 3
Sometimes, to reach a new level, you need to cry out to God with all your heart. Scream. Scream. That I’m tired, that I don’t have the strength, that I can’t do this anymore. Such sincere “cries of the soul” open the door to the “inaccessible,” to something you didn’t know before. A new understanding, a revelation, a new turn will come. God promised so, and He never lies.
About the post
Also, when you fast, do not be sad like the hypocrites, for they put on gloomy faces in order to appear to people as fasting. Matthew 6:16.
And they fasted that day, saying: We have sinned before the Lord. 1 Samuel 7:6.
Brother to Me with all your heart through fasting, weeping and mourning. Joel.2:12.
During their illness, I dressed myself in sackcloth, exhausted my soul with fasting, and my prayer returned to my bosom. Ps.34:13.
This kind cannot come out except through prayer and fasting. Mark 9:29.
A good deed is prayer with fasting and almsgiving and justice. Comrade 12:8.
So a man who fasts for his sins and goes again and does the same thing: who will hear his prayer? and what benefit will he receive from being humble? Sir.34:26.

Determine your measure
“Give, and it will be given to you; full measure, so that even if it overflows, it will be poured out to you, for with the same measure you use, the same will be measured back to you.”

— Bible, Gospel of Luke, chapter 6, verse 38
This verse clearly states that you determine what you get in life. The way you measure, they will measure to you. The way you judge something or someone will also be judged about you. If you are greedy, don’t expect generosity from others. But if you are a “giver” in life (of time, energy, finances), even more will come back to you!
Parables of Christ
So, King Solomon was only a likeness of our King and Teacher Christ (Matt. 12:42.). And when our Lord came, He also used parables in His teachings. There is a reasonable suspicion that if there were no explanations of the parables of Christ in the Gospels [judging by the way most people tend to take literally the parables of Solomon and other allegorical descriptions in the Bible], then the meaning of these [already explained] parables would most likely remain the same secret. However, the interpretation of the parables by our Lord showed the possibility and necessity of understanding allegorically many other mysteries of the Bible, which we will discuss later.
How can we understand those parables of Christ that the Lord did not explain? There is a principle: “In the mouth of two or three witnesses every word will be established” (2 Cor. 13:1). Therefore, the explanation of any passage of Scripture must also be confirmed by other passages of Scripture.
And for a clear example, let’s try to understand and explain two parables in this way:
1) ''The kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking good pearls, who, having found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it'' (Matt. 13:45,46).
This parable refers to our Lord Christ, who redeemed his church for himself, leaving behind what he had before he came to earth.
Why can it be understood this way? Considering the principle that “every word shall be established by two and three witnesses,” we can pay attention to these scriptures: (Prov. 1:5,6; 31:10,15-18,23,29. Eph. .5:32.). Acts 20:28. 1 Corinthians 6:19,20.
2) ''The kingdom of heaven is like a net thrown into the sea and capturing fish of all kinds, which, when it was full, they pulled ashore and, sitting down, collected the good in vessels, and threw out the bad. So it will be at the end of the age: the angels will come out and separate the wicked from among the righteous, and throw them into the fiery furnace: there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth'' (Matt. 13:47-50).
Here we see that our Teacher, for the most part, has already explained this parable; however, in order for it to bring us more benefit, it is also important for us to understand its ESSENCE. For example, what criteria do the Angels use when separating good fish from bad ones? Lev.11:10 shows that fish without [feathers] and scales are considered unclean.
And notice, when the first people sinned, and nakedness became a symbol of their sinfulness, then the Most High himself gave them clothes (Gen. 3: 9, 11, 21.).
Throughout the book of the Bible, clothing has great symbolic significance, showing how righteous a person is - see Rev. 3:17,18. 2 Cor.5:3,4. Rev. 16:15. Matthew 22:11-13.
Study the Bible
“Always remember what is written in this book of laws. Study it day and night so that you can do everything that is written in it. By doing this, you will be wise and successful in all your undertakings.”
— Bible, book of Joshua, chapter 1, verse 8
Studying God's Word will provide you with success in every area of your life. It is from the Bible that true wisdom comes, an understanding of how things really work.
Do you want to be wise, effective, happy? Starting today, start reading the Bible, at least a verse a day, and meditate on what you read. Thinking will begin to change, and, accordingly, the quality of life.
Find solace in God
“Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.”
— Bible, Psalm 37, verse 4
When it’s bad, painful, bad, run to God. If you run to people, alcohol, drugs and other doping, you will get a temporary effect that will not affect the solution of the issue, but will only worsen the problems.
But if you turn to God, this guarantees not only deep consolation, but also the fulfillment of your innermost desires! This is how the Lord values your communication with Him!
Wise Quotes
Dove of peace. From the story of the Flood. The dove released by Noah from the ark brought him an olive leaf, as evidence that the flood had ended, dry land had appeared, and God’s wrath was replaced by mercy (Gen. 8:11). Since then, a dove with an olive branch has become a symbol of reconciliation.
A house built on sand (something shaky, fragile). “And everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand; and the rain fell, and the rivers overflowed, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and he fell, and his fall was great” (Matthew 7:26-27).
Antediluvian times, as well as: antediluvian technology, antediluvian judgments, etc. Used in the meaning: very ancient, existing almost before the global flood (Gen. 6:8).
Lost sheep (a person who has gone astray). From the Gospel parable about the joy of the owner who found and returned one lost sheep to the flock (Matt. 18:12-13; Luke 15:4-7).
The Forbidden fruit. From the story of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, the fruits of which God forbade Adam and Eve to eat (Gen. 2:16-17).
Burying talent in the ground (preventing the abilities inherent in a person from developing). From the Gospel parable about the servant who buried a talent (a measure of the weight of silver) in the ground instead of using it in business and making a profit (Matt. 25:14-30). The word “talent” subsequently became synonymous with outstanding ability.
Promised Land (blessed place). The land promised by God to the Jewish people (ancient Palestine) upon deliverance from Egyptian slavery. “And I go to deliver him from the hand of the Egyptians and bring him out of this land and bring him into a good and spacious land” (Ex. 3:8). This land was called promised (promised) by the Apostle Paul (Heb. 11:9).
Problems will run away
“Submit yourselves therefore to God; Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”
— Bible, James, chapter 4, verses 7-10
The devil exists. Curses exist. And many problems in life (illness, failure, pain, disorder) are the work of the devil. And therefore, he must be driven away, otherwise he is always an uninvited and very arrogant guest.
How to do it? First of all, submit (obey) God, His commandments, His word. The devil hates people who obey God at any moment in life, but he cannot get close to them! Obedience to God is a great protection for a person.

Everything will work out!
“Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”
— Bible, Gospel of Matthew, chapter 6, verse 33
One of my favorite poems and principles in life. When we seek God, everything we need is included! What does it mean to seek God? This means striving to go where He is (church, sermons, songs, books and prayer), studying His character, strongly wanting His presence in your life and putting Him on a pedestal in all areas.
Give the Lord time, strength, honor and respect. Love Him. And then - everything will fall into place! What you need will flow into your hands, as if with the flow. The right doors will open for you, you will always be in the right places at the right time. The real GPS of fate will turn on!
I believe these Bible verses are helping you realize something important right now. May your life change and God's love fill your heart!
