  Matthew 6:11  -  Give us this day our daily bread. New King James Version     Change your email Bible version "This is apparently the only material request in the entire model prayer; all the other requests are for spiritual aid such as forgiveness, protection, and guidance. With this in mind, is  Jesus  telling us to ask for physical food every day? A literal meaning is often the most likely understanding, yet the continuing context of the chapter suggests He had more spiritual matters on His mind. Just a few verses later, in  Matthew 6:25-26 , 31, He teaches: Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? . . . Therefore d...

  Jesus Christ’s Promise; He said, “I will come again”! “I go to prepare a place for you.   And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” (John 14:2-3). “When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:” “Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:” (Matthew 25:31,34). “So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.” (Hebrews 9:28). “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:   Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet ...

  There are many Bible verses that are taken out of the context of the passage they are found in to support various Christian doctrines.   In order to understand passages, the entire passage needs to be read, and then it has to be related to the time period that the passage is referring to.   We then need to be sure that our interpretation can be verified and not denied by other passages in the Bible.   Matthew 25:46 is one of these passages.   It reads, “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”   Several questions immediately come to mind.   What time period is this talking about?   Who are “they”?   What is meant when is says that the righteous will “go away…to eternal life”?   The chapter Matthew 25 is describing the future judgment of the “nations” .   This judgment will take place immediately after the second coming of Jesus Christ.   During this time period there will ...

Proverbs 29:25, “The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe”. The verse says that the confusion and wretchedness we have in the fear of what a person can do to us, is contrasted with the security of the one, who not only "fears" the Lord, so as to avoid offending Him, but trusts in Him as his protector and guide by faith alone. Man, on his own cannot know what is right or what is wrong.   To understand the truth of what is right and what is wrong, man must first understand and obey God’s Universal laws as found in the Bible.   Jesus Christ gave strict instructions on how man can understand the truth to gain what we need to live in this life and secure eternal life.   Jesus Christ said, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” (Matthew 6:33).   Trusting God and following His commandments instead of our own wishes, needs to be our first p...
