What does it mean that God is with us?”

Answer: It is good to know that God is omnipresent (everywhere at one time)—it is one of His attributes. Coinciding with His omnipresence are the attributes of omniscience (all knowledge) and omnipotence (all power). These concepts are a bit much for us humans to comprehend, but God knows that, too (Isaiah 55:8). God fills His creation and is universally present in person, in understanding, and in power at all times. “He is not far from any one of us” (Acts 17:27). On a more personal level, God is with all believers today in that His Holy Spirit indwells us. This indwelling can only happen if one is born again (John 3:3). First John 5:11-12 tells us it is Jesus who indwells us: “This is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not… Read More »What does it mean that God is with us?”

Jesus prayed to the father

Reasons why Jesus prayed Prayer is a means of talking to our heavenly father. Jesus, while he was physically here on earth, did pray to his father. Why did Jesus pray?

Jesus gives us a new life

A new life means a changed life. It means that a person living in sin suddenly changes and gives up his sinful ways. As a result 1 The old character gives way to a new character. 2 The old way that led to destruction now changes and leads to a new life of salvation. 3 The old attitude changes to new attitude. 4 The old attitude of cheating, lying, fighting, abusing, cheating in examination, disobedience, etc., now changes to telling the truth, loving, obedience and kindness.

According to Paul in his teaching, a person that has the Holy Spirit in him manifests these qualities in his daily life activities – love, joy, peace, patience or longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, self-control, and so on.

Jesus demonstrated his love to people

There are many instances in the Bible when Jesus demonstrated his love to people. Examples are Blind Bartimeaus. One day, Jesus came to Jericho. As he was leaving, the disciples and many people followed him. Bartimeaus, a blind beggar and son of Timaeus, was sitting by the roadside. When he heard that Jesus was passing by, he cried out to Jesus for help. He said, ‘Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me’. He did not stop shouting out until Jesus heard him and stopped. Jesus sent for him. As he was coming, he threw away his garment. When he got to Jesus, Jesus asked him, ‘What do you want me to do for you’? The blind man answered, ‘Master, let me receive my sight’. Jesus replied him, ‘Go your way; your faith has made you well’. Immediately, the blind man received his sight and followed Jesus. Blind Bartimaeus… Read More »Jesus demonstrated his love to people

God’s way of showing love to His people

The love of God to his people is shown through many ways. He provides such needs as food, shelter/house and clothes for his children. He makes the sun to shine both on the good and on evil people.
