| Father, Once again we come to You, asking You to open our hearts and minds to Your precious teaching. We know that true happiness dwells in obedience to Your will, and this is why we want to open Your Word. May this lesson reveal more about what You expect from each one of us, and may Your Holy Spirit work within us, so that we put into practice what Your Word teaches us. In Jesus Christ we pray. Amen. |

1 John 3:22 |
Comments |
| Whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight. | In our previous lessons, we have seen the importance
of God's commandments in our spiritual lives. The apostle John tells us that we must not only keep God's commandments, but also seek to do the things that are pleasing in His sight. We will thus grow in the knowledge of the Lord. |

Hebrews 12:1 |
Comments |
| Since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us. | God asks us to seek what is pleasing to Him, not only
for our happiness, but also because we must set an example to the people around us in
order to attract them to Christ. As ambassadors for Jesus, we must watch over the purity of our behavior, words, and thoughts. This is why we must lay aside every weight that would prevent us from reaching this goal. |

Mark 4:24 |
Comments |
| And [Jesus] said to them, «Take heed what you hear.» | First, the Word of God asks us to be
careful what we hear. It is so easy to lend an ear to gossip... but not so uplifting. The Christian will also carefully select the kind of music he listens to. Nowadays, there are a lot of songs whose content only promotes sin. |
Isaiah 33:15,16 |

Isaiah 5:12 |
Comments |
| The harp and the strings, the tambourine and flute, and wine are in their feasts; but they do not regard the work of the Lord. | The Old Testament was already reporting
the existence of music whose style and lyrics were inviting to evil, and meeting places
where such music could be heard. Still today, God asks His people to refrain from these things. |
Isaiah 23:16 |
|
| Take a harp, go about the city, you forgotten harlot; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that you may be remembered. |

1 Samuel 16:14,17,23 |
Comments |
| The Spirit of the Lord departed
from Saul, and a distressing spirit (...) troubled him. (...) Saul said to his servants, «Provide me now a man who can play well, and bring him to me.» (...) And so it was, whenever the spirit (...) was upon Saul, that David would take a harp and play it with his hand. Then Saul would become refreshed and well, and the distressing spirit would depart from him. |
A bad choice of music can exert a disastrous influence
on us. On the other hand, a good choice of music can help to purify our thoughts. |

What we hear and see feeds our thoughts,

| Rivers of water run down from my eyes, because men do not keep Your law. | Let's ask ourselves: do we shed rivers of water, just
like David, when we see people transgressing God's law? Everything we have seen in movies and on television, everything we have read in books and magazines, has hardened our hearts. But there's good news: our condition is not hopeless, since our hearts can still be softened through the work of the Holy Spirit. |

| The Lord said to Moses, «Say to

know what to do to you."» So the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments. |

Isaiah 3:18-21; 4:4 |
|
| In that day the Lord will take
away the finery: the jingling anklets, the scarves, and the crescents; the pendants, the

| A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars. | We will soon study the two women of
Revelation: - the first one is pure, clothed with the sun; - the other is impure, covered with jewels. Which one of these two women will we identify with? |
Revelation 17:4 |
|
| And I saw a woman sitting on a
scarlet beast which was full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication. |

Comments |
| Do not let your beauty be that outward adorning of arranging the hair, of wearing gold, or of putting on fine apparel; but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible ornament of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God. | What is worthy in God's eyes is not a costly
appearance, since He expects from us a sober appearance. God values a purified heart and a sincere commitment toward Him. |

Comments |
| In like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing, but, which is proper for women professing godliness, with good works. | Although addressed to women, these counsels aim at men
as well! Let's note that in this passage, «braided hair» means more than a simple plait. In those days, wealthy women were often making braids adorned with jewelry. |

Ezekiel 23:40,43 |
Comments |
| You painted your eyes, and
adorned yourself with ornaments. (...) I said concerning her who had grown old in adulteries, «Will they commit harlotry with her now, and she with them?» |
Still concerning outward appearance, let's note that the Word of God associates gaudy cosmetics with apostasy and paganism. |
Jeremiah 4:30 |
|
| And when you are plundered, what will you do? Though you clothe yourself with crimson, though you adorn yourself with ornaments of gold, though you enlarge your eyes with paint, in vain you will make yourself fair. |

2 Kings 9:30 |
Comments |
| And when Jehu had come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she put paint on her eyes. | Jezebel, symbol of the apostate woman, is
exactly the example not to be followed by the believer. The Christian woman should avoid gaudy make-up, and choose instead to maintain a natural and healthy appearance. |
Revelation 2:20 |
|
| I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and beguile My servants to commit sexual immorality and to eat things sacrificed to idols. |

| [Jesus said,] «I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.» |
To lay aside all those weights, we do not need to
exile ourselves on a desert island! Indeed, it would be difficult to preach the gospel on
a desert island... What we need is the presence of Christ within our hearts. Although we are surrounded by those weights, God will give us the strength we need to avoid them and resist Satan's snares. |

| «Beloved, I beg you as
sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul.» (1 PETER
2:11) «Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world - the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life - is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.» (1 JOHN 2:15-17) «Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.» (JAMES 4:4) |

together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And
what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what
part has a believer with an unbeliever? (...) Therefore "Come out from among them and
be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you."»
(2 CORINTHIANS 6:14,15,17) «For you are a holy people to the Lord your God, and the Lord has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.» (DEUTERONOMY 14:2) |

For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.» (GALATIANS 5:16,17) «Since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.» (HEBREWS 12:1,2) |

|
| Walk as children of light, (...)

Comments |
| You should no longer walk as the
rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, having their understanding
darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them,
because of the hardening of their heart; who, being past feeling, have given themselves
over to licentiousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. But you have not so learned Christ. |
Let's be careful. Ignorance and hardening of the heart
prevent us from discerning the snares of the world. Fortunately, the Holy Spirit clearly reveals these snares to anyone who wants to do God's will. |

| Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus. | Is it difficult for us to lay aside every

| «Do all things without

without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as
lights in the world.» (PHILIPPIANS 2:14,15) «He who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, that he no longer should live the rest of his life in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God. For we have spent enough of our past lifetime in doing the will of the Gentiles - when we walked in licentiousness, lusts, drunkenness, revelries, drinking parties, and abominable idolatries. In regard to these, they think it strange that you do not run with them in the same flood of dissipation, speaking evil of you.» (1 PETER 4:1-4) |

Screen 34 |
| Let us pray together: |
| Our Father, If happiness were dwelling in the things of this world, You would not ask us to lay them aside. But You know that they are weights which can only keep us away from You. The apostle Paul wrote, «What things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ»; and he added, «I count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ.» (Philippians 3:7,8). Please teach us to count these weights as rubbish that we willingly lay aside, so as to be ready for Jesus' return. In His name we pray. Amen. |
