It will take us more than an eternity to fathom His love, or perhaps we will never fully comprehend or grasp the depth of God’s love for us. Why does He forgive the multitudes of our sins? And not only does He forgive us, but this forgiveness came at a deep cost: 39 lashes, both hands and feet pierced with long, sharp nails, a crown of thorns, and finally, the spear of Longinus to ensure His death after hanging on the cross. This is unconditional love! While we were still sinners, Jesus Christ laid down His life for us (1 John 3:16). His love was revealed to us through the great pain He endured to pardon our sins.

God confirmed Gideon through a dream that God will make sure that they don't lose the battle. God will be with them. Regardless of Gideons self-doubt, lack of confidence in leadership, lack of courage God doesn't simply put him down. But God helps Gideon to see that God is with him, and God confirms His victory for Him. See this what it makes God good. Regardless of our unbelief, he still confirms that He will be with us and He will make it happen.

Regardless of Jacob’s stubborn or twisted posture, he somehow knew he needed God. It is remarkable that Jacob wrestled with God the whole night until the break of dawn. But why would God allow an encounter with Jacob, who was not very impressive in his spiritual walk, unlike his grandfather?

In The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, the dragon Smaug had already won for many years. The people of the mountain once had a great kingdom, but Smaug came, destroyed everything, and sat on the treasure. For years, no one dared to challenge him. The dragon looked unbeatable. Fear ruled the land.

That’s what desperation can feel like.

In Acts of the Apostles 2:42–44, we see a simple but powerful picture of the early church. They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, to fellowship, to breaking bread, and to prayer. They weren’t just attending gatherings; they were building their lives around Christ and around each other. Their connection came from a shared commitment to God’s Word and shared life together.

Inviting people to be baptized is biblical. Therefore, we must all share the invitation with our friends and family members to confess Christ, experience renewal, and witness the amazing work God will do in their lives through the power of His Holy Spirit. We are all called to preach the Good News, just like Saint Peter.

God’s actions reveal that He empowers His people with light. Sometimes people find themselves in situations where they cannot see a way out and need direction into the path of life. Here is the good news: there is hope. Just as God enlightened David’s steps, He will help you see the path as well. God will empower you through His Word and through His servants to help you navigate dark seasons, spiritual illumination through His spoken Word.

“In the form of God v6” Jesus was not just a good man, a good teacher, or a prophet. He is not a competitor among other gods, kings, or lords. He was, is, and will always be above all. We believe in the supremacy of Christ. Through Him all things were made, even you, beautifully and wonderfully made in His image. But sin damaged everything, so He came in the likeness of men.

Propitiation: The second important word here in the text that will help us understand the work of the Atonement is propitiation (1 John 2:2 NKJV). What does that mean? It means that the wrath of God was satisfied on the cross through His Son Jesus Christ, the perfect Son of God who came into the world and became flesh. He had no sin and therefore became the perfect propitiation for sin, satisfying the wrath of God. “He Himself is the propitiation for our sins” (1 John 2:2 NKJV).

The Nature of God: The fellowship begins not with us humans but from eternity. Theologically, it is right to confess in our Christian faith that the essence of God is love precisely because of His Triune reality. He is inherently relational. We see this evidence from the bible, “let us make man in our image, after our likeness” (Genesis 1:26, ESV).

What is Justification by Faith Alone? It means that I don’t have to be a super saint to be saved or to enter heaven. It also means that I can’t add any righteousness or good works to be saved. Justification by faith alone is absolutely given by God through grace, faith, and Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross.

In our global context today, we face a great struggle, something not new but present from ages past: gossip and slander. These are deadly and destructive sins. Who hasn’t faced them? They infect our relationships and disguise themselves as harmless conversation.

The bottom line is this: we don’t need material things to make us happy or to help us remain in a state of well-being. If we receive what we want, that’s awesome. If not, we don’t lose our joy. Sometimes we do lose our joy because our outward circumstances appear chaotic; however, we can live by the Pauline principle of placing total dependence on God and His presence.

Are God’s moral standards still binding on those who are saved by grace? The New Testament answers with a resounding yes. While believers are no longer under the law for salvation, we are called to walk in obedience as a response to grace. As Paul writes in Romans 6:1–2, “Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?” Grace does not nullify holiness—it empowers it.

The Holy Spirit: Not a Casper, but a Constant Companion: Sometimes, the Holy Spirit is thought of as a gentle ghost, like “Casper”—friendly but not quite real. That’s fiction. The Bible presents the Spirit as a living person with emotions, a will, and speech.

The centre of covenantal marriage is steadfast love. This kind of love is a deliberate decision to think and behave positively toward one’s spouse. Such an approach helps to generate positive emotions in the relationship. The more married couples practice affirmation and appreciation, the stronger their feelings for one another.

The word “know” here is yada, similarly used in Genesis 4:1 (Adam knew Eve), Judges 19:25 (rape of the Levite’s concubine), and then here in Genesis 19:5 (that we may know them) (R. Laird Harris, Gleason L. Archer Jr., and Bruce K. Waltke, Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament (Chicago: Moody Press, 1980), s.v. יָדַע (yada‘) entry 848).

This coaching model is unlike that of a secular coach who stays on the sidelines; in Christian discipleship, the coach remains “in the game,” setting the example and bearing even greater responsibility. Much like a captain who leads from within the team.

In our chaotic, broken, and challenging world, it is quite easy—and normal—to encounter anxiety attacks. It is the spirit of fear, frequently tormenting people and pushing individuals into a loop of being reasonably anxious about real challenges that can shrink our lives. It often triggers sorrow, grief, or pain, leading to a quitter mentality.

During these years of theological struggle regarding Gospel truth, I was pursuing my sports career. And after being involved in track and field for more than 8 years, I just became passionate about God and His kingdom. Goals were changing quickly, including my passion. It was becoming more about Jesus’ Kingdom. I started enjoying being in the presence of God, enjoyed reading Scriptures, devoted myself to serving the local church, and cherished consistent fellowship. I just loved it.
