LEARNING FROM CHRIST
understanding the Bible
In Romans chapter 12, the apostle Paul exhorts believers in Christ to offer their bodies as living sacrifices to God. What did he mean by this and how do we follow it?
Many people of ancient Israel believed that keeping the ceremonial laws of Moses was the highest expression of their love for God. But Jesus taught his disciples that to God there are more important things than ceremonies and temple sacrifices: to keep short accounts and "settle matters quickly" with both the people in our lives and with God.
Before Jesus was arrested and executed, he spent his last evening teaching and encouraging his disciples. And on this night before he left them, he wanted them to learn an important lesson. So, he washes their feet. What was the lesson he was teaching by this?
Some people say a truly loving God could never be angry with anyone. Others say the Bible teaches that God is by nature a wrathful God. I believe both are wrong. But the Bible clearly speaks of God’s wrath, and not just a few, but many times. So, how could a loving God get angry? And why? In this post we will look at Scriptures that answer these questions.
The Pharisees and Sadducees play a very large part in the story of the gospel. Who were they and what did they believe? Why did Jesus confront them so strongly? And can we learn anything from this history? Are there any groups today who think and act in the same way?
Jesus taught that to enter God's kingdom, we must become like children. Clearly, he was not teaching that we should be like little children in every way, but only in certain ways. What are the attributes of children that Jesus was referring to?
