Of God and Mankind

Romans 11:29 (AMPC) “ For God's gifts and His call are irrevocable. [He never withdraws them when once they are given, and He does not change His mind about those to whom He gives His grace or to whom He sends His call.]”   Dear friend, as is usual with most of us, we would have reflected over 2024 and made some resolutions, goals and commitments for 2025.   My simple advice to everyone reading this message today is that you include the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Messiah and Master of the Universe in whatever plans you have for 2025.   You must include Jesus Christ because He is the ONLY person Who would never mislead you because of His unfailing love for you as your Creator and God.   You must therefore follow Him wholeheartedly by diligent study, meditation, obedience and action on His Word in the Holy Bible. When you do this, you can be sure that your every prayer would be answered because He has said for you to ask God the Father anything in His (Jesu...

2 Timothy 2:3-7 (AMPC)    “ Take [with me] your share of the hardships  and suffering [which you are called to endure] as a good (first-class) soldier of Christ Jesus.   4 No soldier when in service gets entangled in the enterprises of [civilian] life; his aim is to satisfy  and please the one who enlisted him.   5 And if anyone enters competitive games, he is not crowned unless he competes lawfully (fairly, according to the rules laid down).   6 [It is] the hard-working farmer [who labo u rs to produce] who must be the first partaker of the fruits.   7 Think over these things I am saying [understand them and grasp their application], for the Lord will grant you full insight  and understanding in everything.”   Dear people of God, following the Lord Jesus Christ as a disciple is not as easy and straightforward as many Christians of today believe and understand.   We saw in the first part of the post on this topic...

  1 Timothy 6:20-21 (KJV) “ O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of SCIENCE falsely so called:   21 Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.”     Dear people of God, whoever thought the word SCIENCE could be found in the Holy Bible? But it is, as shown in today’s lead Bible text above.   But note what is said about science that so many humans completely rely on now.   No doubt science has many good sides seen even in the technologies humans use nowadays. However, there are some grave errors science has committed that when followed would certainly make people err concerning the faith as Christians.   For instance, in high school, science teaches in Biology that humans evolved from animals. The Word of God tells us that not only did God create humans in His image and likeness but God gave humans dominion over the entire earth – Genesis 1:26-27. ...

John 16:28 (AMPC)  “ 28  I came out from the Father and have come into the world; again, I am leaving the world and going to the Father.”   Dear people of God, there is a group of Christians who say Jesus Christ is the Son of God but not God.   In today’s lead Holy Bible text, the Lord Jesus says He came out from the Father and came into the world. What does this mean? It simply means He was within the Father before He came out into the world.   This, of course, is why Jesus is called the Word of God as stated in John 1:1.   As a man here on earth, see what the Lord Jesus said in His prayer to God in John 17:5, “And now, Father, glorify Me along with Yourself  and restore Me to such majesty  and honor in Your presence as I had with You before the world existed.”   Here we see clearly that Jesus refers to His Divinity because He made reference to the fact that He had majesty and honor in God’s presence before the world existed.   Even tho...
