31. Assurance of salvation

31 • Assurance of Eternal Life It’s impossible to think of a better gift to receive than the gift of eternal life with God! Just imagine spending eternity with a Person infinitely wise, wonderful, good, and creative. Imagine existing with an inexhaustible Treasure of intelligence, love, joy, peace, righteousness and holiness? This is what eternityContinue reading “31. Assurance of salvation”

30. Walking with God

30 • Walking with God God wants us to live our lives with Him. God’s Book says that if we walk in the Spirit, we will not fulfill the desires of our sinful nature (Galatians 5:16). We must realize that we have three main enemies who will try to keep us from walking with God,Continue reading “30. Walking with God”

29. Union with God

29 • The Reality of Unity with God Many people tragically believe that there is no God or divine reality (Atheists, Psalm 14:1); or that God is so different and so distant from us that He doesn’t bother to interfere with people’s lives on the earth (Deists). Both convictions ultimately lead to despair. Life withoutContinue reading “29. Union with God”

28. Friends of God

28 • Friends of God Most people have or have had a best friend; someone with whom they share everything, even their deepest fears and secrets. God’s Word states that God knows our secrets (Romans 2:16). He is all-knowing (Psalm 139:1-6). He knows everything about everyone living now and about everyone who has lived inContinue reading “28. Friends of God”

27. True identity in Christ

27 • True Identity—Christians are the Sons of God One thing is certain: God doesn’t need slaves or servants. God has need of nothing and no one; He is self-sufficient (Acts 17:25). God didn’t create the world and everything in it out of need but out of His fullness and ultimate freedom to create (RomansContinue reading “27. True identity in Christ”

26. The importance of holiness

26 • The Importance of Holiness and ongoing Repentance There is a practical holiness without which no one will see God (Hebrews 12:14; Isaiah 35:8). When a sinner comes to God it does not matter which sins, he/she has committed. You can be the worst criminal on earth, yet God will receive you if youContinue reading “26. The importance of holiness”

25. The importance of fellowship

25 • The Importance of Meeting with Fellow Believers The church is called God’s family or household (Ephesians 2:19). If you are a believer, whoever truly believes in Jesus Christ is your brother or sister! Whoever has been born of the Holy Spirit has the same Father (Romans 8:15, 16). This is an incredible thought!Continue reading “25. The importance of fellowship”

24. The importance of prayer

24 • The Importance of Prayer Someone once said, just as the body needs oxygen in order to function, so the souls of men need prayer. In a sense this is true, but only shows one side of the coin. We don’t need prayer to function; we need God to function! Prayer is just theContinue reading “24. The importance of prayer”

23. Why only 66 books in the Bible

Why are there only 66 books in the Bible? A concise history of the books of the Bible. The Bible consists of two parts: The Old Testament (OT) which has 39 books and the New Testament which has 27 books. The people of God (mainly the people of Israel), who lived before Jesus came toContinue reading “23. Why only 66 books in the Bible”

22. The sufficiency of the word of God

Is what is written in the Holy Bible, sufficient and enough for us to know God eternally? Is what is written in the 66 books we call the Bible: enough to show us the way to God; all we need to believe to be saved for eternity; sufficient to know how to be united withContinue reading “22.
