2 Timothy 2:20. To be sanctified, we must have a desire to be sanctified and set aside for God's use. We must have a desire in our heart to be honored by God. God loves us all, but He does not honor us all.

2 Timothy 2:21. A passion for life comes from fulfilling your purpose in life. Because God is your Creator, seek Him to find your purpose and passion in life. Because most of us do not seek God nor His purpose for our lives, we become dishearten, dispressed, self-destructive, bored, tired, double-minded, and aimless when going about our daily activities.

Bible Summary. From a Christian perspective, it is better to be shamed by man that to be out of step with God. Jesus was beaten, whipped, humiliated, shamed, and eventually killed on the cross, but he as all Christians are honored by God. Sometimes God uses shame to chastise us in order for us to come into a place of honor with Him.

leviticus 19:15. Judging others is not to be done lightly or unfairly. If we make judgments about people we must do it within God's will. God is the source of wisdom for what is right or wrong. Without God's wisdom it is easy to get caught up in the trappings of a person. If someone is poor, it is easy to judge them harshly and not give them the benefit of the doubt.

Genesis 12:2. A key to success in life is just understanding how good God can be to us. God loves us so much and He desires to bless us. All He wants from us is to love Him back. This is what Abraham did. He loved God, he was obedient to God, and he believed in God. It was God's love, God goodness, and God's grace that were key to Abraham's success. God made him a great nation.

Hebrews 13:4. The Bible is clear that sex is part of marriage and sex should not happen outside of marriage. There are a lot of arguments to live together before marriage, but none of them are supported by the Bible. If you live together before marriage it is a sin because you are being disobedient to God. God holds the marriage relationship as sacred.

Bible Summary. God holds the parent-child relationship as special. God tells us in the ten commandments to obey and have respect for our parents. The Bible tells parents that they should respect their children and not provoke them. The parent-child relationship is one of truth and honor.

Romans 13:13. Just being honest with people prevents or resolves most conflicts between people. Being honest is a wonderful thing. Honesty shines a light on what is not fair, what is not upright, what will not “stand the light of day”. I do not hear the word honest or honorable much when someone describes themselves or others.

Romans 12:10. God desires for us to treat everyone with brotherly kindness and love. This includes both Christians (brethren) and non-Christians. Romans 12:10 says, “Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;”. We are to honor other Christians more than we honor ourselves.

Proverbs 1:7. Someone that uses their imagination and has no knowledge is a fool. God is the source of all knowledge while imagination comes from the minds of man. Imagination without the knowledge of God leads to disobedience, sin, and eventual eternal death (Hell). God's knowledge enables us to make right choices that line up with the Word of God and eternal life.

Isaiah 33:6. The knowledge of God enable us to not be moved by our circumstances. The knowledge of God enables us to act the same way in good times and in times of strife. When we have the supernatural knowledge that God is our salvation we can draw strength from Him where others will despair. People who rely totally on their wealth and money will despair when they have no money.

2 Corinthians 7:1. The definition of perfection includes "completely suited for a particular purpose - completely corresponding to a description, standard, or type". From a Christian perspective, this definition of perfection means that perfection is all about us being holy. God has made us for His purpose to be holy and worship Him.

Ephesians 6:2. Truth and honor are so important in a relationship between a father and a child. Fathers must always provide truth, honor, and love to their children.
