PREACHER'S PEN

“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work" 2 Timothy 3:16, 17

The Bible (Scriptures or the Word of God) is the most remarkable book ever written. The writing was done by about 40 men of several countries and many occupations. They wrote over a period of about 1500 years and in 3 languages (Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek). Yet the Bible is a well-organised unity with one great theme and central Figure - Jesus Christ. All of this would be impossible unless the Bible had one supreme Author - and it did - the Holy Spirit of God. "for prophecy (Scripture) never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit" II Peter 1:21

Abraham Lincoln, who was responsible for abolishing slavery in U.S. and was its greatest president, said this about the Bible

"I believe the Bible is the best gift God has ever given to man. All the good from the Saviour of the World is communicated to us through this Book...All things most desirable for man's welfare, here and hereafter, are to be found portrayed in it"

The Word of God has power (Hebrews 4:12), it is able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Jesus Christ (II Timothy 3:15) and through it the child of God can grow and be eternally blessed. Don't let it gather dust on a shelf. Read it, study it, hear it, memorise it and meditate on it. The great evangelist Dwight L. Moody once said "The Scriptures were not given to increase our knowledge but to change our lives".

EASTER REFLECTION

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation. Romans 5:8-11

Jesus died on the cross for you. He wore a crown of thorns and was nailed to a tree because He loves you...and He wants to have a personal relationship with you today.

ASSURANCE OF SALVATION

“For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; 15 and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised. 16 From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” 2 Corinthians 5:14-17

New life in Christ is one of complete transformation; of death to sin and self, to life under the lordship of Christ. Our lives are no longer lived for ourselves, but for the one who died for us and was raised again.

If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

A disciple of Christ loves Him and consistently puts Him first in the major areas of their life and is continually taking steps to separate from sin.

“Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.” - Luke 14:27

“And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me." - Luke 9:23

“Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.” - Matthew 10:37

“But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” - Matthew 6:33

“I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” - Romans 12:1-2

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. 19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. - Romans 1:18-21

HAVE A BLESSED CHRISTMAS!

“The one who is the true light, who gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. He came into the very world he created, but the world didn’t recognize him. But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. So the Word became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only Son. From his abundance we have all received one gracious blessing after another.” - John 1:9-10,12,14,16
