We are to use God’s gifts for God’s glory as we have accepted God’s grace, so that God’s greatest Gift to us, His Son, may be glorified.
Good News, Not Good AdviceIf anything that Scripture records Jesus saying is true, what if everything Jesus said is also true? If anything that Jesus predicted came true, what if everything He predicted also comes true? The predictions that have already come to pass include his persecution, condemnation, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension. When we look at Revelation, we see more predictions – the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple, the spread of the Gospel around the world, the false prophets, the increase of sin, and wars.

The Spirit’s GuidanceWe must accept the things that happen which we don’t understand. We see only a tiny part of the total picture that God is working on. We must learn to try to do as much of His will revealed in His Word. This is our guidebook to grow and mature as believers. The Holy Spirit is our personal guide that confirms to our spirit that we are within God’s will.
