Do you believe history?

Do you believe everything your parents or grandparents told you about their life before the internet or cell phones? Why is it important to listen to their history? Psalm 44 verse 1 tells us that history is really important. It says:

We have heard with our ears, O God;
our fathers have told us
what you did in their days,
in days long ago.

Recent history is one thing to consider as some people are trying to revise or correct history. Some of it is good and should be corrected but revisionism is from a nefarious agenda.

But what we have learned about God and what He has done overshadows all these changes because the Bible hasn’t changed and will not change. It truthfully tells us what God and people did and it tells us why because God is the author.

What has God done?

He is the Creator – not chance.

He directs the course of history through people – not people doing it on their own.

He correctly identifies our problem as sin – not mistakes or accidents.

He ordained and provided Jesus to appease His wrath against our sins.

He calls us to repentance and gives His Holy Spirit to make us spiritually alive and able to live holy lives.

That’s what our ancestors told us through the Bible.

If you hear this and haven’t trusted Jesus for salvation then you are still under God’s wrath according to this same Bible, the Word of God. If you want to know more, watch my video on the Gospel on YouTube or read on this Gospel link

God’s Law

“The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul” (Ps 19:7). Do you need revival in your soul?

I think many people have a really bad understanding of what God’s Law is and what it is for. The basis of the Law is the Ten Commandments but it really applies to the whole Bible.

Here is what David said about God’s Law in Psalm 19 verses 7 through 11

The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple;
The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes;
The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; the rules of the Lord are true, and righteous altogether.
More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.
Moreover, by them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward.

What do get from the Bible, and I mean the whole Bible not just the New Testament? Do you find your soul being revived. Do you find that you gain wisdom?

When you read about the goodness of God and salvation though Jesus Christ, does your heart rejoice? Do you get understanding so that you see the world clearly?

Do you find that you have an awesome, reverent fear of the Lord because you understand he is righteous and without Jesus, we are not?

Do you desire knowing the Word of God more than food, clothing, riches, and fame?

Do you find warnings in the Word about how to live a godly life and avoid the pitfalls of sin?

If you can’t answer those questions positively, then maybe you need to review the gospel of Jesus Christ and make sure you are saved. You can do that by watching my video on YouTube, "The Gospel."

May God Bless you!
