Teachings of Jesus
to Improve Your Life
Rev. Adiel Nathan G. Caspe
1. LOVE
• When it comes to love, Jesus gave these
directives: Love God. Love your neighbor.
(Matthew 22:36-40)
• When you replace hate with love and anger
with kindness, your life will improve.
Matthew 22:37-40
37Jesus replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with
all your heart and with all your soul and with all
your mind.’ 38This is the first and greatest
commandment. 39And the second is like it: ‘Love
your neighbor as yourself.’ 40All the Law and the
Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
2. LIVE THE GOLDEN RULE
• Treat others as you want to be treated.
Matthew 7:12 states it that simply.
• Improve your life today by treating those
around you with kindness and respect.
Matthew 7:12
“So in everything, do to others what you would
have them do to you, for this sums up the Law
and the Prophets.”
Condemnation is NOT Jesus Style
• “I have not come to condemn the world, but to save it.”
• “Neither do I condemn you. Go and sin no more.”
John 3:17
John 8:11
• Jesus mission is to redeem the world and not to condemn
the world. Jesus is in the business of restoring humanity
to the most broken and wicked of people. It seems that
his passion is to see the weak, sick, and broken become
strong, healthy, and whole in his Kingdom.
• The only way to enter the Kingdom of Heaven is
through DOING the will of God.
• “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will
enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who
does the will of my Father who is in heaven.”
Matthew 7:21
3. COMMUNICATE SINCERELY WITH GOD
• God loves you. As your Heavenly Father, he stands
ready to help you.
• Communicate with God through Prayer, express
gratitude, and also ask for those things that you
need.
• Great and life-changing power is available through
sincere prayer.
4. HAVE FAITH
• Faith in Jesus Christ means trusting Him,
remembering Him, and following His teachings.
It is a conviction that He is the Son of God.
• When you provide room in your heart to have
faith in Christ, you will notice your life improve.
Jesus, not the Bible that brings life.
“You don’t have His word living in you, because
you don’t believe the One He sent. You study the
Scriptures because you think you have eternal life
in them, yet they testify about Me. And you are
not willing to come to Me so that you may have
life.”- John 5:39-40
5. FREELY FORGIVE
• Forgiving is to pardon or excuse someone from
blame for an offense or misdeed.
• The scriptures refer to forgiveness in two ways. The
Lord commands us to repent of our sins and seek His
forgiveness, and He also commands us to forgive
others who offend or hurt us.
• By freely offering forgiveness, we can release
ourselves from the negative feelings that hold us
back.
• You’re supposed to sacrifice yourself and speak
words of blessings for those you disagree with
the most.
• “Love Your Enemies and Bless Those Who Persecute
You” Matthew 5:44
