Hebrews 11:6

-

Hebrews 11:6 “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”

The only way we can please God is through faith. Faith makes us strong in the Lord. Faith makes us holy. As humans we will always fall short, both of God’s standards and our own expectations. If you are a Christian… don’t worry! Enjoy your journey. Yes, there will be hard times, but take comfort from the fact that God will always be at your side.

Isaiah 43:2: “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you.
When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned,
Nor shall the flame scorch you.”

It doesn’t matter what you do. You cannot please God by good works. You cannot disappoint God by bad works. God knows you fall short of his standards. That’s why He sent His Son and gave us grace. Naturally, as Christians our desires should echo Gods and we will become accustomed to clean living if we are truly saved, however this will not please God or make you holy. It is faith that will delight him; faith that grace will be enough when you slip up and faith that grace is enough to cover all things. Don’t focus on what to do. Just focus on having a strong faith. Through that you will be as David: a man after Gods own heart, and God will provide the opportunity to live as Christ so that people may ask you for the reason for the hope that is in you and that you may tell them with all meekness and fear. 

Have Faith!

1 Peter 3:15 “But sanctify the Lord God[d] in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear.”

John 14:1 “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.”

Gospel's Explained: Mark 7:27-28

-
Mark 7:27-28: "But Jesus said to her "Let the children be filled first, for it is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs." And she answered and said to Him, "Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs from under the table eat from the children's crumbs." It is not surprising that many misinterpret what the Bible is saying. Here is a perfect example. The meaning of this passage is arguably rather hidden and needs knowledge of both the culture in Jesus' day and also a Spiritual understanding which only comes when being filled with the Holy Spirit, "our helper" ( John 14 ) (e.g is only available to God's children). On the face of it it appears that Jesus is insulting somebody by comparing them to a dog, however that is not what is happening. Jesus here is talking about Israel. Israel are God's chosen people. They have been blessed by God immensely, from the bringing about of the nation, to taking them out o

Leviticus 25: Jesus in the year of Jubilee

Leviticus 25 tells us about the year of Jubilee. The year of Jubilee occured every 50 years. There were 49 years and then the 50th year would be the Jubilee year. ( Leviticus 25:8 ). The Jubilee was known as the Sabbath of Sabbaths. It was ultimate thing, just as the inner santuary of the Tabernacle was known as the Holy of Holies, or Jesus is the King of Kings. The sabbath was the seventh day of the week. In Leviticus 25:1-7 God instructs the Israelites not only to keep the sabbath on the seventh day of the week, but also to keep the seventh year as a sabbath year of rest for the land. Leviticus 25:1-7: And the Lord spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai, saying, 2  “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘When you come into the land which I give you, then the land shall keep a sabbath to the Lord . 3  Six years you shall sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vineyard, and gather its fruit; 4  but in the seventh year there shall be a sabbath of solemn r

The Lord Giveth and the Lord taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Lord

It is safe to say that this phrase, found in Job 1:21 will be applicable to all of us at some time in our life, whether its the first half of the phrase or the second half. We live in a fallen world. The world is cursed ( Genesis 3 ). The world is full of loss, pain, sorrow, hurt, death, illness, injustice, fraud, deceit, lies, deception: the negatives are endless. Therefore it is inevitable that our lives will not always be rosy. Sometimes this is a consequence of our actions, sometimes this is the consequence of somebody else's actions, and sometimes it is simply a consequence of living on this earth. It is common to see what appeared to be at one time the strongest of Christians become deserters of God when things get tough. Oh, what an unbiblical and destructive way this is to live. When God allowed the devil to pour out evil upon Job, Job did not turn his back on God, even when his friends tried to assure him that he had a just cause to do so. Instead we read in Chapte
