A Word for Non-believers

Who are the unbelievers? Anyone who has not established a relationship with Jesus Christ falls in that category. Jesus said, If you are not with me, you are against me. But what is it that makes you a non-believer? It is basically a lack of faith. And the Apostle Paul says, how can they believe if they have not heard? And how can they hear if nobody preaches to them?

Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. Not just one time, but faith comes after hearing it a second time. And faith also is a gift of God. Jesus asked His disciples, Who do you say I am? Peter answered, You are the Christ, Son of the living God. Jesus said to Peter, Blessed are you Peter, flesh and blood has not revealed this to you but my Father who is in heaven.

God himself has declared, If you seek me you will find me, if you seek me with all your heart. Some people will not come to God until they are convinced and their critical minds are satisfied. That is why they never come to God because it is not through the mind that we find God because our minds just cannot contain the totality of God. Man has not yet totally understood this earth that he lives in which is just a particle in the universe, how much more can he understand the Maker of heaven and earth?

So before Jesus comes into your hearts, somebody has to cry out, Prepare ye the way of the Lord! Make His paths straight. As it is written, Today if you hear His voice, harden not your hearts. Do it while it is still called today, for there is no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in the grave, to which you are going.

The Operation of God

Col 2:12  Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. The word operation was translated from the Greek:   G1753 ἐνέργεια energeia en-erg'-i-ah From G1756; efficiency (“energy”): - operation, strong, (effectual) working. This gives us an idea of what goes on in the spirit realm when a person comes to Christ. The Scripture says, we are risen with Him through the faith of the operation of God... the energy... the effectual working of God.  Here is what happens in the spirit realm, believers are risen from the dead by this energy - the effectual working of God. And it is made to pass through the faith of this energy. Now, this clearly tells us that this is not Man's faith, it is God's faith.  Notice the first part of this Scripture. It says, Buried with Him in baptism. This is where Man's faith is in operation. Baptism is the answer of a good conscience toward God. The a...

A New Creation

2Co 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. A very simple yet so profound truth that we must not forget: we are new creations in Christ. We are not the person that we were before we came to know Christ. We are a new person, a new creature in Christ. This is very foundational and very, very important. Many Christians tend to dwell on the Cross. They stay there and never want to be removed from there because the Cross meant the forgiveness of sins. And that is true. But the very purpose of the Cross was not the forgiveness of sins, but rather, to condemn sin. A Christian is not a sinner saved by grace as some denominations teach. And that phrase, sinner saved by grace, is never really found in the Bible. A Christian is not a sinner. We were sinners before we became Christians, but when we became Christians, we put on the new man. Religion would tell you that you are not worthy, how that you are ...

Looking At The Big Picture

By looking at Creation from a bird's eye view, perhaps we can have a hint and understand better the work which God has created. In the beginning God said, Let us make man according to our image. (Gen 1:27) So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And throughout the Bible, looking from a macro level, we can see that the purpose of God for man was not changed. God has it in His heart to make us like Him. And the things that has happened in the past and those that are happening now and will still happen in the future all add up to that end. But we cannot really say that God has authored everything that takes place because even right now, we know we are free to do whatever we want, and we know that we do it by ourselves only and not by some controlling force from the outside. We can be persuaded and moved by some external forces, but still the decision to act is solely attributed to the individual. God has foreknowle...
