Do you have faith in Jesus Christ? Or, why do we believe in our President—why do we believe in online banking, for example? It is because we believe based on facts; or on some hard evidence of truth. But I am wondering why in spiritual matters we always find ourselves less enthusiastic to believe. We always doubt. The apostle Peter, for example, denied Christ three times, and Thomas wouldn’t believe in Christ’s resurrection unless our Lord would appear to Him physically. Why don’t we have faith in Christ when we have all the evidence at our fingertips to prove His claims?

Involve God

Why not involve God in our everyday life? Yes, billions of people today don’t acknowledge God, (I mean, the God of the apostle Paul and the Holy Scriptures!) in their daily routine until disease or a calamity hits them. We separate our borrowed lives from our Father God and Creator. That’s our genetic badge! Taught the Bible that “even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks.” (Rom. 1:21) We don’t call in God, the Father of Christ, in our lives. But, why?

Closeness to God Works

God’s very first question to man was, “Where are you?” This very moment you may have been joyous or sad; happy or maybe angry. Every passing moment God is interested of your closeness to Him. He is interested in your fellowship with Him as He was with Adam.

Responsibility Redefined, Loses its Objective Meaning

How do you define the word responsibility? It is a “form of trustworthiness,” according to the dictionary, “the trait of being answerable to someone for something or being responsible for one’s conduct.” Is this sense of obligation and answerability now vanishing in the sphere of politics by the dishonesty and corruption of most politicians; of religion by the dollar mentality of many religious leaders; of the family by the parents’ neglect of their children? Hence, we need our sense of trustworthiness to always harmonize with the Christian teachings. We need the biblical accountability as Christ’s people. Let us neither redefined nor humanized our version of responsibility!

Little Life Story of Hope in Christ Our Savior

I couldn’t claim any impressive record of material success. I am nothing and continue to be so until my departure from this realm. I led my family to Christ, and I’m proud of that. It is my greatest achievement: to meet my family in heaven forever!

Powerful Faith in God

February 10, 2020December 9, 2012 by Jun P. Espina

How powerful is your faith in God? For the Bible says that your faith, if it is scriptural, is confident that God knows and hears you. Observe 1 John 5:13-15 NASB:These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life. This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him.” Your faith therefore is more precious than anything else here on earth, for by it you will “know that you have eternal life” and that God “hears us in whatever we ask,” according to His will. From these great truths, you can have only one conclusion: your faith in God is replete with power! You are therefore nothing more than a bundle of divine power.
