Does It Really Matter What You Believe?

The simple answer to this question is, yes it does.   To clarify the answer, it matters if you want to be a disciple of Jesus Christ and receive the gift of immortality and salvation to eternal life.   Immortality and salvation is a gift from God, given to us freely.   We cannot earn it.   But, there is one important thing that people forget.   God does not force us to take this gift.   We can accept the gift or we can refuse the gift.   If you do not care about this gift, then the answer to the question is that it really doesn’t matter what you believe.   You can believe whatever your heart desires.                 Using the Bible as a basis for this discussion, it tells us that that those who want to know and have a relationship with God should hold on to beliefs that are based on His laws and not compromise.   “Now by this we know that we know Him, if we ke...

Living By Faith.

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...
