261 | How can I do this? | Prov 13:22 | John Reformed | 31995 | ||
The greatest inheritance I can leave my children and grandchildren is the knowledge of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. If they have Christ they are in possesion of the most precious treasure anyone could dream of.(Matthew Chapter 13) Jesus said " Do not store up for yourself treasures on earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt" but "store up for yourselves treasures in heaven"(Matthew Chapter 6). May God grant you grace and peace. |

263 | Confusion concerning Jesus's death | Lev 17:11 | John Reformed | 31810 | ||
God is just, therefore He cannot wink at sin. We are sinners and deserve everlasting punishment. But, thankfully God is also mercifull and had a plan by which sinners might be saved. The good news is that if we believe in Jesus Christ we will be saved(see John 3:16). Jesus is fully God. He also is fully man. As a man He did something that no man has ever done, and that is He led a sinless life. God required a perfect sacrifice to pay for our sins. That is why Jesus had to die for our sins. The Bible says that Jesus became sin on the cross and that God poured out all his wrath on Him. But Jesus was not a sinner so that is why He is not spending eternity in Hell. We must never underestimate the the great price Christ paid for our salvation. The truth is that we cannot begin to understand the agony our beloved Saviour endured in our place. I hope this has helped some. |

264 | God Intentionaly Made Bible Difficult? | Bible general Archive 1 | John Reformed | 31676 | ||
The difficulties I experience in understanding the scriptures arise from at least two weaknesses of mine. First:I am a sinner. This means that from time to time what the bible says is not what I want to hear and so instead of accepting the plain sense of the text, I twist it to suit myself. I must remember to pray and ask God to enlighten my mind thru the ministry of The Holy Spirit. Second: I'm not that knowledgeable about the culture and history that existed at the times the books of the bible were written. I therefore rely heavily on commentaries and study Bibles that help to fill in the blanks in my education. However I must bear in mind that the opinion of a commentator is not scripture itself. It's my resposibility to be a good Berean and prove what is said by the word of God. That being said there are many good resouces on the net. I like Matthew Henry an John Calvins commentaries. Knowing Scripture by R.C. Sproul is also a very good and inexpensive book. May the Lord bless you in your pursuit of Christ thru His word. |

265 | Is it a sin to routine drink alcohol | 1 Corinthians | John Reformed | 31663 | ||
The Bible does not prohibit drinking alcohol, however it strongly condemns drunkeness.I suggest you read 1 Corinthians Chapt. 8 and Romans Chapt. 14. | ||||||
266 | Is there more to salvation than this | Romans | John Reformed | 31652 | ||
I believe that the Bible teaches that we are saved by grace alone thru faith alone in Christ alone (see Ephesians 2: 8-9). A holy lifestyle is created in us over the course of our lives by The Holy Spirit. However as long as we remain in this world we will continue to fall short and need to repent and confess our sins in prayer (1 John 1: 8-9) |
