Summary of what i learnt;
As Christians, we are to fear God, obey his commandments, we should learn to love God not just in words but in good works also. There are so many people who says with their lips that they love God but they don't because their works are of Earthly things and not the things of God. We have been told to cast all our anxiety or cares upon God for he cares for us. In as much as we are holding on to the spiritual things of God, we shouldn't forget about life's realities as well. If our anxiety is cast upon God, our life style will change for better because we won't be anxious anymore since God has carry the burden for us and we are a joint heir of Christ. The peace of Christ will keep us from getting anxious because his love for us supersede all other things, so we love and trust God and we will be greatly rewarded. We should be thankful for all things because all things work together for our good, if only we believe in him. We should give thanks and praise without ceasing. There is nothing bad for the person who obeys the law of God because all things work together for our good.
We are to obey the Word of God and not go beyond or lesser than what the Word says.
