Can you truthfully say that you are following Jesus? Why or why not?

That’s a question every Christian should be able to answer correctly and confidently, yet many of us feel totally inadequate to explain who He is. And the only source for absolute truth on this matter is God’s Word.

Are you trusting in the blood of Christ for the forgiveness of your sins? If not, on what or whom are you planning to rely on when you stand before God to be judged?

Our nation is suffering from uncertainty, angst, conflict, and distrust. If ever we needed to rely on the Scripture, it’s today. Such times should lead us to cry out to God, asking Him for the wisdom, courage, and obedience to do what’s right.

The crucifixion of Christ is such an important doctrine because understanding it correctly determines whether or not we have eternal life. What transpired in that event was the solution to mankind’s biggest problem—SIN—and our resulting alienation and separation from God.

Everywhere we look there are disasters, tragedies, trauma, misery, suffering, and loss. But what happens when our view of adversity becomes up close and personal? How does the Lord want us to respond when we come face-to-face with trials?

Do you really feel loved by God? What does God’s Word say about His love for you? Are you able to give love, or is there something hindering you from expressing it freely to others?

If you have ever contemplated “ending it all,” please get quiet, open your Bible, prayerfully listen, and learn how much God loves you.
