The sacrifices symbolize the difference between attempting to work one's way to heaven represented by Cain’s offering and the realization that salvation is by grace alone, made available to us only through the merits of a blood sacrifice which is the symbolism of Abel’s offering.   Abel’s offering pointed toward eventual salvation through the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ. There was a difference in the offerings they brought: Abel’s was a more excellent sacrifice than Cain’s.   “…the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering:   But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect…” (Genesis 4:4-5).    Cain’s offering was only a sacrifice of acknowledgment that God was the creator.   But, Abel brought a sacrifice of atonement, for his ...

What crucial truths are taught from these verses and the symbolism found there? (See Gen. 2:7 .) Jer. 18:1-10   The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words.   Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels.   And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.   Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying, O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? Saith the Lord. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel. At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it;   If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.   And...

It is God who supplies the daily needs of all His creatures, including mankind.   Unfortunately it is the transgression of God’ law that brought death and suffering into the world.   The good news is that the world, though fallen is not just sorrow and misery.   Nature provides messages of hope and comfort.   We find flowers on thistles and roses on thorns.   God's love among a fallen man is all around us.  All we need to do is open our eyes and our hearts.  We are placed in a position through our connection with Christ to be worthy of the name, "sons of God". I will extol You, my God, O King; And I will bless Your name forever and ever. Every day I will bless You, And I will praise Your name forever and ever. Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; And His greatness is unsearchable. One generation shall praise Your works to another, And shall declare Your mighty acts. I will meditate on the glorious splendor of Your majesty ...

Hell Is A False Doctrine Invented By The Early Christian Church?   LIVE FOR JESUS AND GOD. FIND ETERNAL LIFE. The concept of hell is well known in the religious as well as the secular world. People in all walks of life use it to color their emotions, to criticize as well as to condemn others. Phrases from, "What the hell is that?", to "Get the hell out of here", to "Go to Hell!", are commonly used. I have heard phrases about hell more often in the secular world than I have in the Christian community. It seems that preachers and religious teachers tend to shy away from the subject. When they do talk about it, it seems it is more to scare the daylights out of you so you'll be a better Christian.  I think they shy away from the subject because they cannot fully explain the concept of Hell in this doctrine and reconcile it with other scriptures found in the bible The New Encyclopedia Britannica in Vol. 5, page 814, states ". . . ...

  CHRISTIAN LIVING FOR GOD - TODAY AND BEYOND.   “The Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost’ ” (Luke 19:10, NKJV). From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible is a story of God seeking after lost humanity. Luke illustrates this truth by using three important parables found in the 15 th chapter of Luke: The lost sheep (Luke 15:4–7), The lost coin (vss. 8–10), The lost son (vss. 11–32). The mission of Jesus is a result of God’s love and grace. “Where sin abounded, grace abounded much more” (Rom. 5:20, NKJV), and through this grace we find ourselves saved. Let’s look at the Lost Sheep and the Lost Coin. The Parables of the Lost Sheep and the Lost Coin ( Luke 15:3–10 ) are the first two in a series of three. The third is the “lost son” or the “ prodigal son .” Just as in other cases, Jesus taught these parables in a set of three to emphasize a point. In these three parables, what was the Pharisees problem with what Jesu...

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...
