Is there a creator?

Do You Have Real Faith?

Job chapter 42 verse 5:-    5 My ears have heard about you, But now I do see you with my eyes.

Real faith is NOT blind faith! It must be built on real foundations, and those foundations have to provide information that can be analysed and proved so that no doubt remains. In the case of Job, he finally saw Jehovah, not with his literal eyes, but with absolute proof of his creators existence! To understand what Job was thinking, have you ever said to someone after receiving correction on a certain matter, " I see now what you are saying" Or " Now it has become clear to me"! So Job was seeing Jehovah clearly for the first time in his mind after having a conversation with the true God!

Job's faith was built on what he had heard from others, and not on written words. And while his faith was extraordinary and a wonderful example of an imperfect man keeping his integrity, until his correction by Jehovah, he was somewhat blind! We today have a better understanding of the Universe and our Earthly home, and through the pages of the Holy Bible we have a direct link to the wisdom of the true God Jehovah and his Son Jesus Christ. But in order to grow a strong faith based upon Knowledge, we must study Gods word diligently. The more we do this the stronger our faith will become, because our faith will be based upon inspired Godly wisdom and not on blind and often false reasoning of men

Knowledge and Wisdom.

Nehemiah chapter 8 verse 8:-    8 And they continued reading aloud from the book, from the Law of the true God, clearly explaining it and putting meaning into it; so they helped the people to understand what was being read.

What Ezra and the priests read to the people from the Law covenant was received with rejoicing because they fully understood. So when we read the Bible we also must first pray for guidance and understanding in order to benefit from our efforts. Regular Bible reading will help to grow our faith but only with the help of Jehovah's spirit! With regular meeting attendance and diligent study of God's word the Bible, we will grow real faith! But more is needed to benefit from Jehovah opening our minds to understanding?

We must desire Knowledge, we must develop a need for wisdom, and a need to grow spiritually in order to help yourself and others to learn to love Jehovah and his Son Jesus Christ! There is nothing more important than love in order to develop real faith, love helps you to see Jehovah clearly, because Jehovah is love, he is also the source of the light of understanding. Real faith will never diminish but will remain strong even under severe tests and hard times!

Persecution Takes Many Forms?

2 Timothy chapter 3 verse 12:-  12 In fact, all those desiring to live with godly devotion in association with Christ Jesus will also be persecuted.

Persecution is not always Physical, it can also be spiritual, so put your trust in Jehovah's word contained in the Holy Scriptures, but never put your trust in so called religious leaders who teach lies and untruths that are distorted by them to fit their own desires, remember that only God's word is truth, anything written or spoken that does not reflect Bible truth is to be avoided. Such lies as - Trinity, immortal soul, Hell fire, once saved always saved, Jesus is God, Purgatory, Priestly Confession, the Cross, Prayer to Saints, Mary worship, and many other deceptions do not come from the true God, but from his adversary Satan the Devil!

Remember this - Just because a religion says it is Christian does not make it Christian, if those religions were truly Christian they would follow the teachings of the Holy Bible without twisting scripture to fit their beliefs, but the truth is they do not conform to the teachings of God's word the Bible, in fact they do not even use and respect his holy name!

God's Word, One Book.

In Conclusion:   So called Christian religions do not even understand that the Holy Bible is only fully understood as ONE BOOK, Instead they call the Hebrew scriptures "The Old Testament" which they largely disregard, and the Greek scriptures "The New Testament" which they believe wrongly is all a Christian needs, but by separating the Bible into two distinct parts they can never fully understand the Holy Scriptures or gain Jehovah's blessing!  Jesus Christ quoted continually from the Hebrew Scriptures (The Old Testament), we today need the same understanding of that part of the Holy Bible in order to fully understand the Greek Scriptures (the New Testament, without both of these sections of the Bible as one book, we would be truly blind and lack real faith!

Psalm chapter 146 verses 3 and 4:-    3 Do not put your trust in princes Nor in a son of man, who cannot bring salvation. 4 His spirit goes out, he returns to the ground; On that very day his thoughts perish.

True Faith Grows!
