All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17

Why do we read the Bible? Why does it become an obsession for some and an obstacle for others? The reason can really be summed up with this scripture, The Bible is God breathed. We love reading the Bible because God is talking directly to us through others.

Many will try to disprove the credibility of the Bible, claiming there are contradictions ect. However these so called contradictions are always a lack of understanding the scriptures. When we finally come to the realization that the Bible is Gods word and its perfect, you then are opened to wisdom and understanding beyond human comprehension

Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things.  For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit. 2 Peter 1:20-21

One popular question is how did Moses write the book of Genesis? This is a clear example of how the Bible is Gods word. Moses was able to write the book of Genesis because God  revealed it to him through the Holy Spirit.

Just the same way the prophet Isaiah revealed Jesus 700 years before he was even born. We need to understand there really was only one author of the Bible, and it was God. When you understand this you get a better understanding of our God and his plan for you

You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me, John 5:39

Jesus tried to teach the Pharisees this, that all scriptures are testifying of Christ. Even in the book of Genesis it reveals Gods plan to defeat Satan by our Messiah (Genesis 3:15). This was clearly foretold in the scriptures, how would anyone have known this? Very simple all scripture is God breathed and its been given to you as a gift from God in Jesus Name Amen

He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it. Isaiah 25:8

What hope do we have for the future? With Jesus we have all the hope and victory in the world, because he has overcome death on the cross. There is a lot of sorrow and suffering in this world, but God promises to wipe away all your tears and restore peace.

We see the persecution of Christians around the world, but God promises to remove the rebuke of his people, meaning the rejection of Christians. We will stand victorious one day though Jesus Christ

And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation. Isaiah 25:9

Many times we wonder, how long? How long until Jesus returns and restores peace and order? We can wait in peace because we know God doesn’t break his promises. The day Jesus returns we may not know but we can be glad and rejoice for his promise of hope and victory.

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. Revelation 21:4

This promise of hope is also conveyed in Revelation, there will be a day when God will wipe away death, pain and sorrow. The old Earth has passed away and God will restore his Heavenly Kingdom in Jesus Name Amen

For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;  1 Timothy 2:5

Who can understand God? Who can be worthy enough to approach him? There is one answer and his name is Jesus. There is only way to God and that is through Jesus Christ. Nobody gets to God without him. Jesus is many things for us including our Mediator, who has redeemed us so we can be worthy enough to stand before God

Jesus has taught us many revelations about God and through him we can become a Child of God. Humanity has always tried to produce many Gods, but there is only one true God, the creator of the Heavens and The Earth. And there is only way Lord and King, his name is Jesus Christ.

Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. 1 Timothy 2:6

Why did Jesus have to die? Because he was the ransom for our sins, for the wages of sin equal death. Jesus was willing to pay the price for all our sins and make us a Child of God. Without Jesus none of this would be possible and we would all be condemned to death because of our sins

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6

Jesus is the only way to the one true God. Jesus is our mediator between God and man.  Jesus has been granted all power and authority by our Heavenly Father, that is why every knee shall bow and tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord Amen

“How can this be?” Nicodemus asked. John 3:9

Many times when we read the Bible or hear what God has done, we say “How can this be?” Well don’t feel bad, Nicodemus, was a high priest of Israel who had great knowledge of the scriptures, yet he struggled to understand what Jesus was teaching him. Give him credit as he was actually willing to listen to Jesus, as he met Jesus at night so the other Pharisees wouldn’t see him

What Jesus was revealing to Nicodemus was nobody can enter Heaven unless you are born again. Nicodemus to this as being physically born again, but as Jesu revealed we must be spiritually born again through the Holy Spirit

“You are Israel’s teacher,” said Jesus, “and do you not understand these things? John 3:10

Jesus became concerned because the Pharisees are the high priests of Israel, and if they don’t even understand the concept of becoming “Born again” how are they going to save anyone? Even today when we look at our modern day priests of big churches, are they delivering the correct message of God? Are they preparing the church for judgment day?

Very truly I tell you, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, but still you people do not accept our testimony. John 3:11

I think this scripture is interesting because it’s a confirmation of the Trinity, the oneness between the Father, Son , and Holy Spirit. Jesus said “we” speak of what “we” know. This statement confirms Jesus is speaking of God and not himself.

I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things? John 3:12

Many question why didn’t Jesus reveal more about Heaven or Hell? Well this statement makes it pretty clear, we couldn’t understand it even if he did. Jesus spoke in parables to try and get people to understand God, but still people have a hard time grasping his truth.

So next time you see what God has done and say “How can this be”? Remember its because our God is an awesome God and nothing is impossible in Jesus Name Amen

I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. John 15:1

Another great revelation giving to us by Jesus Christ, he is the vine and God is the “husbandman”. Meaning there is no way to connect to God without Jesus Christ, he is the only truth, life, and way. If a branch is not connected to the vine it dies, this is the same for us if we reject Jesus as our Lord we will also perish

God is described as husbandman, the original word husband actually means “Master of House”. Jesus is describing God as the master of all things, for its not our will be done but his

Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. John 15:2

Jesus taught us you would know a good person by the fruit they bear, when we continue produce corrupted fruit eventually we will be cut off. Why? It’s the same principle with the vine, when you have dying branches you cut them off to keep the rest of the vine healthy.

The second principle is just as we would prune branches to grow healthier ones, God sometimes allows us to go through struggles and circumstances to make us stronger and healthier in our faith

Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. John 15:3

Jesus is the living Word and through him we are cleansed by his righteous blood. Understand what Jesus is trying to reveal to us and you will have eternal life

Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. John 15:4

Its not our will but God’s will. Sometimes we try to be a Christian but create our own agenda, this will not work. If your connected to the true Vine, Jesus Christ, then you must rely on God to be our provider. When we trust in God we will then produce the good fruit of Jesus Christ Amen
