Richly

(As an adverv, richly is also translated abundantly)

Mo. 12/31/12: Colossians 3:16                     Have you any room for Christ?

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

Have you any room for Christ? Many a Christian neglects Bible study and suffers an impoverished heart.

Tu. 1/1/13: 1 Timothy 6:17a                        Are riches dependable?

Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches

Are riches dependable? No. Riches are often spent on things that decay or devalue rapidly.

We. 1/2/13: 1 Timothy 6:17b                     Can the rich buy enjoyment?

Charge them that are rich in this world, that they … trust in … the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy

Can the rich buy enjoyment? No. Only God richly gives things to enjoy.

Th. 1/3/13: Titus 3:5-6                                What is the washing of regeneration?

Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour

What is the washing of regeneration? Renewal by the Holy Spirit poured richly on us who believe.

Fr. 1/4/13: 2 Peter 1:10 -11                         What is a rich entrance?

Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: for so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

What is a rich entrance? Instead of a fallen life, we could enter into a rich reward in heaven.
