God On Film: Living A No Regrets Life 

“I am focusing all my energies on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I strain to reach the end of the race and receive the prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us up to heaven.” - Philippians 3:13-14

HOW TO LIVE A NO-REGRETS LIFE

1. LOOK FOR GOD INTENTIONALLY.

Memory Verse: “‘When you search for me, you will find me; if you seek me with all your heart, I will let you find me,’ says the Lord.” - Jeremiah 29:13-14

(Jesus) “Keep on asking, and you will be given what you ask for. Keep on looking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And the door is opened to everyone who knocks.” - Matthew 7:7-8

2. LISTEN TO GOD INTENTLY.

“I listen carefully to what God the LORD is saying, for he speaks peace to his people, his faithful ones.” - Psalm 85:8

“They stumble because they do not listen to God’s word or obey it.” - 1 Peter 2:8

“If you need wisdom - if you want to know what God wants you to do - ask him, and he will gladly tell you. He will not resent your asking.” - James 1:5

3. LIVE FOR GOD INTENSELY.

(Jesus) “You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: Love your neighbor as yourself. All the other commandments and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.” - Matthew 22:36-40

(Jesus) “If you try to keep your life for yourself, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake and for the sake of the Good News, you will find true life.” - Mark 8:35

(Jesus) “The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give life in all its fullness.” - John 10:10
