Lesson 15 The Commands of CHRIST
Part 3
Up to this point we have looked at 6 of CHRIST´s commands for HIS followers: repentance, belief, new birth, receiving the HOLY GHOST, following JESUS, and prayer.
7. Faith
If a Christian is able to do great things for GOD´s glory it is because of his faith in a great GOD. Without faith we are unable to do anything for GOD.
Mark 11:22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
John 20:27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.
Matthew 14:27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
8. Searching the Scripture
A Christian needs daily nourishment in his spiritual life just as in his physical life. It is through prayer and studying the Scripture that the Christian is fed. It is a daily necessity in the life of the believer.
John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
II Timothy 3:16-17 All scripture is given by inspiration of GOD, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness;
That the man of GOD may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
9. Letting Your Light Shine
As Christians we must daily shine for HIM, bringing light and hope to this dark and troubled world.
Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
John 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
Mark 5:19 Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion

Searching the Scripture
Part 3
Look around you. See the planet we live on. The stars and moon light the night sky. The sun marks the days, months, and years of our lives. The rain waters the earth. The wind moves through the trees. All of this came some somewhere. Someone or something caused it to come into being.
Look at a book. Someone wrote it. Someone printed it. The book did not write itself, produce itself, print itself. It required the acts of an intelligent being.
Look at the building around you. Someone built it. Someone planned it. Cement, sand, lumber, pipes, wire, windows and roofing didn´t suddenly start swirling around and over time formed the structure.
The person who denies God would have you believe that everything - the trees, the sun, the stars, the mountains, even you - just happened accidentally.
If you took all the pieces required to make a watch - gears, springs, hands, etc. - and put them in a sack, how many millions of years would you have to shake the sack before a watch would form? It would never happen. And yet atheists want us to believe that over eons of time everything formed by accident. This is not an intelligent deduction. The sensible answer to all creation is that it is the act of an intelligent being we call GOD.
Let´s return to our watch. It not only is, but it needs a designer. It was planned with a purpose - telling time.
If we will take a close look at the world around us it is obvious that everything large or microscopic shows design and purpose. Our world has a designer and a creator. It was not an accident and neither are we.
Man is intelligent and he has a moral nature. Conscience teaches man right from wrong. Regardless of what an evolutionist pretends to believe and wants you to believe, life comes from life. In the beginning life came from a Being who possesses eternal life. Such life can only be found in GOD.
Read Psalm 36:9. GOD is the source of life. Non-living things don´t suddenly become living things. Life is in GOD and in His Son Jesus who says various times that He is Life.
Read John 11:25 and John 14:6. In John 10:28 Jesus says He gives us eternal life. Life has a beginning and that beginning is GOD.
Atheism solves no problems and answers none of mankind´s questions. When we accept Genesis 1:1 ¨In the beginning GOD... ¨ we are led into a fuller understanding of life and of GOD Himself.
Read Hebrews 11:6. Like children we must have a simple faith. We must come to Him in complete trust.
Do you have that simple faith? Do you trust Him?
Remember, read the Bible and pray. This is how you grow in the LORD.
Abundant Blessings.
