Word of the Day: Believe! You Can Move Mountains by Faith!

When the sun sets, do you doubt that it will rise again the next day? No! You believe it will rise, even without seeing it. That is faith.

We can have the same faith in God because He never fails. Even without seeing, we can believe that God will not forsake us.

The Bible says that a little faith in God has a great effect. Those who truly believe can move mountains! To witness God's miracles, all you need to do is believe and act. Jesus tells us this himself:

21 Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done.Matthew 21:21

Consider the story of Thomas, one of Jesus' disciples. He doubted that Jesus had risen from the dead until he saw Jesus with his own eyes. Jesus responded to him saying, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." This shows us just how powerful faith can be, it transcends beyond the need for physical proof. It's about trusting in what we cannot see but know to be true in our hearts.

Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
John 20:29

Word of the Day: An invitation and A Challenge

God extends an invitation and a challenge to all who love Him.

The Invitation

Come and learn more about the love of God! God loves you so much and he desires to have a deeper relationship with you, one where he will bless you abundantly.

May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance.

2 Thessalonians 3:5

9 “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. 10 If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love.

12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.

John 15:9-10,12

So how does God love us? How does it feel to be loved by God?

There are five features of God's love that we can experience from him today:

  1. It is unconditional: God's love is not based on what we do or how we behave; it is given to everyone regardless of their worthiness or behavior.

  2. It is selfless: God's love is sacrificial and self-giving, evident in the death of Jesus. It seeks the well-being of others, at great personal cost.

  3. It is Eternal: God's love will never end. It does not diminish or fluctuate based on what we do or say but remains constant throughout all times and circumstances.

  4. It is inclusive: God's love is a gift for all people, without discrimination or exclusion. He offers it to every individual, regardless of their race, sex, ethnicity, nationality, or background.

  5. It is redemptive: God's love has the ultimate goal of reconciling humanity to Himself. This is the foundation of God's plan; to save the world through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The Challenge

And this is the challenge: it's time to be fruitful! God wants to help you mature and be transformed so that you bear much fruit. The goal of this is to glorify God. By living in a relationship with Christ and producing spiritual fruit, we can show how much we love God, through bringing him all the honor and praise.

5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. 7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.

John 15:5-8

But it is a challenge, there is a warning in this passage, and the consequence of leaving Jesus' side is that we become outcasts.

Do you accept the invitation and the challenge?

Follow Christ's direction, and meet with Him right now!
