God in His mercy, grace and love gave us His Word that we may know Him, that we may know what is to come, and that we can have eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. God’s Word, the Holy Bible, is 28% prophecy, and prophecy is the writing of history before it happens. God did this to prove that He is the Author of history and by fulfilling prophecy God also proves He not only exists, He is sovereign over His creation. All other religions combined have not fulfilled even 1 prophecy.
2 Peter 1:21 – For prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.
The underlying theme of every book of the Bible is the coming of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. God came to earth in the flesh to redeem fallen man by His death on the cross as payment for our sins. Every book of the Bible also confirms God’s love for us, His special creation, and God’s desire that we live with Him in heaven forever. Praise God for His love and faithfulness!
Ephesians 1:4-5 – Just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will.
God planned every cell of our being, every hair on our head. God knows us because He made us. God made us how He wanted us. Be at peace with who you are and what you have for it is God’s will for you. We’re only visiting while we’re on the earth. Our citizenship is in heaven. We will be royalty in heaven one day as sons of the Most High God. We are joint-heirs with Jesus to the kingdom of God.
Scripture says we cannot comprehend the riches God will give to those who love Him. You prove your love for God by obeying His commands for our lives. God’s most important command is to witness for Christ, sharing the gospel with unbelievers. In Scripture Jesus says those who obey His commands are those who love Him. We show our love for God by our obedience. In the Bible God speaks the truth and He is not given to hyperbole or exaggeration. Those who witness for Christ can look forward to the following:
Daniel 12:3 – And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament, and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
