DayBreak Verses for Men - Lawrence O. Richards
INTRODUCTION
What does it mean to be a Christian man? First, it means to learn to see yourself as God sees you — as a person who is loved and significant. Second, it means to understand the wonderful place God has for you in his plan. That place is found as you live out your most significant relationships guided by God’s Word and strengthened by his promises. And it means to build your own inner life, developing your potentials as a Christian.
There are three sections to this booklet. In each a series of topics brings together verses from God’s Word that will give you guidance, insight and strength to help you be all God intends you to be as his person.
The first section, My Identity as a Christian Man,
shares evidence that you truly are important to God and have a significant place in his kingdom.
My Relationships as a Christian Man
looks closely at your relationship with your spouse, your family, your church and in the world. Verses from Scripture portray God’s ideal and share insights on how you can live as Christ’s person to achieve the ideal.
My Inner Life as a Christian Man
focuses on deepening your personal relationship with God and on finding help from him to meet special, very personal challenges. Issues such as getting the most from Scripture, living the single life and overcoming temptations are examined.
As you read these verses and meditate on them you will find them to be a source of guidance, for God points us in his Word to a productive and meaningful life. You will also find them to be a source of strength, for here too are God’s promises, reassuring you that the Lord is committed to helping you become the Christian man you yearn to be.
PART ONE
MY IDENTITY AS A CHRISTIAN MAN
When you became a Christian you began a personal relationship with God. In this wonderful relationship you can discover your true identity and your true significance. God wants you to base your confidence that you truly do have worth and value on his affirmation that you are vitally important … to him!
CREATED IN GOD’S IMAGE
GENESIS 1:27–28
So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. God blessed them and said to them, Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule …
PSALM 8:4,6
What is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them? … You made them rulers over the works of your hands; you put everything under their feet.
PSALM 100:3
Know that the LORD is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
PSALM 119:73–74
Your hands made me and formed me; give me understanding to learn your commands. May those who fear you rejoice when they see me, for I have put my hope in your word.
PSALM 139:13–16
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
LEVITICUS 19:2
Speak to the entire assembly of Israel and say to them: ‘Be holy because I, the LORD your God, am holy.’
SAVED BY CHRIST’S SACRIFICI

ROMANS 8:32
He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all — how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?
JOHN 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
COLOSSIANS 1:22
But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation.
ROMANS 8:35,37–39
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? … No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who
