Thought for the day

"For the lost the Word reveals to them a holy God, full of love and concern for His creation. It shows them they way, the truth and the life. It reveals the most profound truth ever thought: "That God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16

God draws men and women, teens and children to Himself by revelation of Himself. You and I were drawn to God by the power of His Word. "No man can cometh to Me, except the Father which hath sent Me draw Him: and I will raise him up at the last day. V45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto Me." John 6:44-45

For the saved the Word reveals to us a holy God, full of love and concern for His creation. It shows us the way, the truth and the life. It reveals us the most profound truths ever thought. God designed His Word for anyone and everyone who will believe it. But for the born again believer, the one to whom is given the indwelling Holy Spirit, the Word is full of easy to understand, powerful, life changing truths.
  • God speaks to you through His Word.
  • God reveals His design for your life.
  • God reveals Himself openly and unobstructed. 
  • God reveals who you are in Christ.
  • God tells you the things that matter in life.
  • God shows you what to believe.
  • God tells you how to receive faith.
  • God tells you how to be faithful.
  • God teaches you what is pure and true, honest and just, what is lovely.
  • God shows you how to be kind, and how to be gentle, how to live by faith and how to stay healthy.
  • God gives you example after example of how to treat one another, how to be humble, how to love others, how to give and how much to give.
  • God reveals the beginning, the time you now live in and the future. God reveals it all.
God-thinking gets your mind in line with God's Word so that what God has said becomes what you believe and what you believe is what God has said."
