34. God uses imperfect people

 34 • God uses Imperfect People You may have heard rumors of Christians caught up in adultery; or who were greedy and did things which did not reflect the glory and holiness of God. You may therefore think that God’s people are hypocrites. However, God’s people are all human beings and none of them inContinue reading “34. God uses imperfect people”

33. The means of grace

Part 5 Working with God  33 • The Means of Grace/ Ways grace comes to man When a person becomes united with God, when he/she gets saved, it is only because of God’s grace—His gift of true faith in Jesus Christ and in His perfect sacrifice on the cross, nothing else (Acts 16:31; Titus 3:4-7).Continue reading “33. The means of grace”

32. Knowing God

Lesson 32 • Knowing God Some people who call themselves followers of Jesus tell other Christians that God always wants them to be healthy, wealthy and materially prosperous. This is not what God’s Book says that life will be like for His children. God wants His children to be wealthy and prosperous in Him (EphesiansContinue reading “32. Knowing God”

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”

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”

20. Can we trust the Bible?

Part 3 Special Revelation the Bible  20 • Where did the Bible come from? God, in His power and wisdom, inspired people throughout the history of the world to write down what He has said to them and what He has done (2 Peter 1:20, 21; 2 Timothy 3:16). These records are very important toContinue reading “20. Can we trust the Bible?”
