It's not easy putting our trust in someone we don't know, but it's easy when we know them personally and have a relationship with them. Likewise, for Christians, we can't have faith in Jesus when all we know is that He died on the cross for our sins. Even the world has heard that story. … Continue reading Relationship First!
Romans 10:17
Life in the Word!
As Christians, our testimony should encourage non-believers to want to know Jesus, but they can only KNOW Him through God's Word. Apostle Paul tells us in Romans 10:14, "How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in Him of whom they have never heard? And … Continue reading Life in the Word!
Hear His Voice!
This evil world is casting deadly spells on those who don't know Jesus. It's pulling them into its lies, convenient lifestyles, and false freedom due to the absence of life values. Yet, Jesus has never stopped loving them, and continues to call them to salvation through Christians who aren't afraid to speak the Truth. This … Continue reading Hear His Voice!
Misplaced Confidence!
Many Christians put their trust in a person, thinking they're following God. They find a pastor who teaches according to their desires and put their trust in him. But faith in God doesn't come from following people. It ONLY comes by reading the Bible, God's Words to us! As we study it, we build our … Continue reading Misplaced Confidence!
A Measure of Faith!
Christian faith is not a magical formula and cannot be bought. It's trusting God because we know Jesus as our Savior. No one can believe in God without faith, but when we hear someone speak God's Word telling us about Jesus, God touches our hearts and gives us a measure of faith to believe and … Continue reading A Measure of Faith!
Love is Not Enough!
It's not enough to teach only of God's love and blessings. We must also tell of God's hate for sin that separates us from Him—AND that we have ALL sinned (Romans 3:23). We must show the Scriptures that tell us to repent of our sins (2 Peter 3:9) and accept Jesus as our Savior (John … Continue reading Love is Not Enough!
One Drop at a Time
Contrary to modern teaching, faith in God does not just happen when we become Christian. We aren't suddenly filled with faith that moves mountains. God does give each of us enough faith to believe that Jesus is the Savior so we can accept His salvation, but we have to study the Bible daily after that … Continue reading One Drop at a Time
Life in Our Words
As Christians, our testimony is crucial for others to see God's love in us. This invites people to WANT to know Him as we share the good things about God, but when we SPEAK THE WORD, life comes into our conversation—because the Word IS life! It is powerful, and when those to whom we're witnessing … Continue reading Life in Our Words
Calling the Lost
Our outward appearance displays who we are on the inside. As Christians, our bodies are the Temple of the Holy Spirit, and everything we say and do reflects God in us. As we study the Bible, His Word becomes life IN us, so when we share His salvation message with others, it's like a silent … Continue reading Calling the Lost
It’s Not What Others Say
Many depend on others to teach them about God. Their faith is based on what others say, but it's not real because they don't know God. True faith believes that God IS who He says He is and that He can and WILL do the things He's promised. But we can only know His promises … Continue reading It’s Not What Others Say
Some Can’t Hear His Voice
We don't buy products we're unaware of, visit places we don't know exist or worship a Lord we've never of! The Bible says that Jesus seeks those who don't know Him and are lost, but if they've never heard of Him, how will they know it's Him? As Christians who know Jesus, let's tell others … Continue reading Some Can’t Hear His Voice
God’s Love for You and Me
The Bible says that we get faith in God when we hear (read, understand, accept) the Word of God and fill up on God's Truth. When we study the Scriptures daily to get His Truth into our souls, we begin to know the love that God has for us. The more we understand the Bible, … Continue reading God’s Love for You and Me
I Believe It!
What is faith? It's our confidence in God, the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1). It's NOT given automatically when we accept Jesus as our Savior. We can't get it by mimicking the words and actions of others OR reciting positive words. Faith comes from studying the Bible to … Continue reading I Believe It!
Our Attitude
We have faith in things every day—we sit on a chair having no fear it will break. But do we have faith in God to be our Lord? Romans 10:17 says that faith comes by hearing the Word of God, which means we need to study the Scriptures to know God and develop a relationship … Continue reading Our Attitude
Because He is True
We can't build a relationship with someone we've only heard about, and we can't put our hope and faith in Jesus when we're only going by what others say about Him. We need to study the Bible to know Jesus because the words, though written by men, are inspired by God, and they are His … Continue reading Because He is True
Faith Isn’t Magic
Faith is the confidence we have in God; it's understanding who He is and what He has done for us so that we can put our lives into His hands and trust Him. Faith isn't a magic formula; we can only get it by reading the Bible and knowing Him in a very personal way. … Continue reading Faith Isn’t Magic
When Our Faith Speaks Out
The best way to know God is to study the Bible and let the words within the pages feed our soul. The more we study, the more real God becomes to us and the greater our faith in Him grows. As He becomes part of our lives, we are able to be who God has … Continue reading When Our Faith Speaks Out
