Eternal Principles

Let Your Yes Be Yes

Jesus said let yes be yes and no be no - truth without oaths, exaggeration, or spin to make people believe you.

Jesus promised the Father gives good gifts to those who ask, seek, and knock - prayer as dependence, not manipulation.

Jesus warned against condemning others while ignoring your own bigger fault - discern fruit, don't play God as judge.

Jesus taught non-retaliation - don't return evil for evil; absorb insult without escalating the cycle.

Jesus opened his preaching with two words - repent and believe the gospel. The kingdom entry point, not a works finish line.

Jesus warned that the wide gate and broad road lead to destruction - the narrow way is hard but leads to life.

Jesus said store treasure in heaven, not on earth - moth and rust destroy earthly wealth; heaven's treasure lasts.

Jesus told disciples to let their light shine before others - good works that point to the Father, not to themselves.

Jesus taught that greatness is serving, not being served - the humble exalted, the proud brought low.

Jesus said reconcile with your brother before offering your gift at the altar - relationships before ritual.
