Follow Jesus’ example and pray when you face a difficult task. God has promised to answer you, be near you, and guide you. Memorize verses about God’s help and use them in your prayers.

Yes! In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus told the men who arrested Him that He could ask His Father for thousands of angels to protect them, but that would prevent the Scriptures being fulfilled (Matthew 26:54). Jesus submitted to God’s will and plan for His life. You can follow His example by knowing that God has a plan for your life and submitting to His will instead of trying to “do your own thing.”

Yes. Jesus' life is an example of how you can remain calm and stand firm when you face opposition. Being falsely accused, laughed at, or teased is hurtful, but Jesus understands because He experienced it Himself. Jesus also teaches you to "turn the other cheek" (Matthew 5:39), to love your enemies (Luke 6:27), and to forgive those who act against you (Matthew 6:12). Bless those who oppose you, and pray for them (Romans 12:14). When you face opposition, stand firm, put on the whole armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-17), and “resist the devil” (James 4:7).

• All have sinned and come short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23).
• The wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 6:23).
• But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners (Romans 5:8).
• If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved (Romans 10:9).

This SuperTruth is also expressed clearly in the following verses: Colossians 1:20: “And through him God reconciled everything to himself. He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth by means of Christ’s blood on the cross.” John 1:12: “But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God.”

Christians believe in a risen Savior. Jesus is the Son of God who rose from the dead and is alive. His burial tomb is empty. Your faith is not in a dead person or a stone idol but in a living person. He loves you and is present with you through God, the Holy Spirit. Obey Jesus and tell others that He is alive. Pass on the good news. Tell people about Him everywhere (Acts 1:8).

In Matthew 28:19-20, Jesus encouraged his followers to, "[G]o and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age." This is what is referred to as the Great Commission.
