believe

John 11:27
"She saith unto Him, Yea, Lord: I believe that Thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world."

Jesus asked Martha "DO YOU BELIEVE THIS?" And, she answered with today's verse. We are studying the questions Jesus asked. Some of the questions He asked were comfortable and reassuring. Some of Jesus's questions are very challenging. This week's question gets to the point of it all: "What do you believe?" We know we want meaning and purpose for our lives. And we want success! But, what is it? If you had "it", would you feel successful? Or, would something be missing?

Yesterday we studied that our the main goal of our life is glorifying GOD. We need to challenge ourselves to do everything to glorify God. Worship our God not only by singing and praise, but also by our actions! Offer ourselves as a living sacrifice to God. Respond to suffering and injustice with graciousness, just as Jesus did. This includes loving your enemies, doing good to those who harm you, and caring for those who reject you. Glorifying God is not limited to grand acts; it’s about honoring Him in the everyday moments and choices. It requires a deep understanding of God’s character and attributes, as well as a willingness to surrender to His will. By following Jesus’ example and living out biblical principles, we can bring glory to God in all aspects of our lives. Everyone will know what we BELIEVE!

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!

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...
