LEARNING FROM CHRIST
understanding the Bible
Wisdom is so valuable. We all need it to succeed in life and to be healthy and safe. It guides us in our daily relationships and endeavors, our quest for truth, and our relationship with the Creator. But there are barriers to acquiring wisdom, and the greatest of these are human pride and arrogance.
Many Bible passages address believing in Jesus and the doctrinal truths about salvation and forgiveness. Others, especially in the gospels, emphasize following Jesus as a disciple and obeying his commands. What is the relationship between believing and following? Can we believe in him without following him, or vice versa?
Since the beginning of his earthly ministry, Jesus called people to follow him as his disciples. What did it mean to be a disciple of Jesus then? And what does it mean to be his disciple today? Is it the same today for us as with the original disciples?
One of the greatest disputes in the Church today is how Christians should relate to the Mosaic laws. Some maintain that none of the Mosaic laws apply to us anymore because we are under the New Covenant. Others say they all apply since the Old Testament is God’s eternal Word and doesn't change. Should Christians obey the Law of Moses? Or, are there some that apply to us and others that don’t?
The world needs to know the truth of the gospel, that the Messiah—Jesus the Savior, the Son of God—has come. And they need to know who God is, what he is like, and what he has done to prove his love for us. But how can they know? By true Christian witness—by word and deed.
God’s creation is awe inspiring and wondrous. He made the universe with incredible power and precision. But how does he rule the universe? By what means does he sustain the physical world he created? This post will show that God rules the universe by immutable laws, which are an extension of his mind and power.
Some people claim that since we can't see God, finding him is impossible, so we shouldn't waste our time seeking him. For them, God is just an interesting discussion topic. But many throughout history have claimed to have sought God and found him. All throughout Scripture God tells us to seek him. Why would God invite us to seek him if it's impossible to find him?
“What is truth?” Pontius Pilate's infamous question to Jesus during his trial seems sarcastic, maybe even cynical. Was he asking to find ultimate truth? No, probably not. But it's a legitimate question—what is truth? Is it real, or just an illusory concept? Are there really absolutes as opposed to just ideas? And what is Christ's kingdom of truth?
