children of God

Matthew 14:32&33
"32 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.
33 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped Him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God."

JESUS is the Son of GOD.
This is the only conclusion the witnesses to this event could come to. He calmed the storm. He walked on water. Distance did not keep Him from saving His Disciples. These things were recorded for you and me to believe also.

Don't forget PETER WALKED ON WATER, too!
Jesus wanted Peter to walk on water! It had to be the coolest thing he had ever done. Jesus was encouraging him along the way. Peter had GREAT faith to go as far as he did! When he was aware of what he was doing he faltered and sank. And Jesus caught him and asked him "Why did you doubt?"

Jesus might ask you and me the same question. Jesus will encourage us along the way. Life is dangerous, like a stormy sea. Step out of your boat. Walk on the water with Jesus. Life and the storm are frightening, we have further to go. Jesus will calm the storm and you too. Do not be afraid. Don't doubt Jesus.

It's natural for our minds to doubt, fear and question what the Bible says rather than simply believe. If we want to overcome doubt, a Christian should continually seek God through Bible study and prayer. They should commit to a local body of believers to be fed by biblical preaching and have fellowship with like-minded believers. In this way, the doubtful mind can and will become increasingly stable. Rest in the assurance that we are all children of GOD.

I will make you

Matthew 4:19&20 "19 And He saith unto them, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed Him." In our "Follow Me" series, we study Jesus calling His disciples in the Gospel of Matthew. By the Sea of Galilee, a thriving fishing hub, Jesus saw Simon and Andrew casting nets as humble fishermen. His disciples were ordinary workers, not wealthy or educated elites. Jesus approached them and said, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Remarkably, they immediately left their jobs to follow Him. This brief exchange conveys a profound truth: Jesus says, "I will make you." Only God can transform us to accomplish His purpose. We should often pray, "Help me, God," seeking Jesus' guidance to follow His plan for our lives.

God’s patience

2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." God did not immediately punish King Solomon when he allowed his foreign wives to build altars for false gods. Despite multiple compromises, God remained patient. Over time, Solomon’s endorsement of idolatry defied God’s covenant, leading to divine judgment, including the loss of the kingdom for his son. Some mistake God’s patience for indifference or inaction, but He follows His plan in His timing. If our nation, culture, church, or we ourselves stray like Solomon, we can repent and return to God’s path. And, should do so sooner than later! Amen!

we also...

Romans 6:3&4 "3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." In our studies we are striving to understand God’s love and care. God's unconditional love for His followers, appreciating that we are part of GOD’S family! God is with us from cradle to grave. His divine presence is always giving us purpose and guidance. One of the most important milestones in the life of a Christian is baptism. When we are baptized, an indelible mark is made on our soul. This mark signifies a permanent transformation and dedication of the individual to God. The act of Baptism involves water and the invocation of the Holy Trinity. This ritual is seen as a symbolic washing away of original sin and a new birth into the life of Christ. Baptism is a foundational s...
