Bible Note: Dear Cyclist, I join you in singing the praises of our God. He is more awesome than we will ever be able to appreciate! My prayer is that both you and I will continue to grow in grace and in the knowledge of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ. To Him be all glory. From your email address I assume your name is Dave. Is that right? Well, Dave, if your experience is similar to mine (and I see no reason it shoud'nt be) you are about to discover some wonderful changes regarding your understanding of God's Word. I don't mean to be dramatic, but thats what happened to me. For the first time, as I reread the Gospel of John, many of the verses that had left me puzzled, began to be clear. I had been reading them using theological glasses that turned out to have been the wrong prescription. Though my eyesight is still far from perfect, I see much better than I did before. Don't expect everyone to rejoice with you over your newfound doctrine. But be patient and gentle, even as our Lord has commanded. He causes everything to work together for good to those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. Your Brother in Christ, John Reformed |
