Why should families trust in God or worship
God? In America, many preachers need miracles to prove that God exists even Billy Graham has said, "that God can’t be proven to exist". Moses was the first chosen by God to provide miracles to the masses to prove the existence of God. This is why the Pharisees asked Jesus to perform a sign. And he responded a wicked and adulterous generation looks for a miraculous sign. (Mathew 16:2-4). Why is this? Those who need miracles to believe in God are too caught up in their own ministry. The point is that God was proven to exist by Moses and the people said we need more miracles to believe, for example the golden calf that the Jews made when Moses went to be with God. This was after the many miracles that were given to get them out of slavery in Egypt. God can be proven to exist, the question is do you believe the miracles in the Bible? Miracles require belief, since a miracle is defined as an unusual happening, one that goes against the normal laws of nature. Can miracles be tested? If no, then this is the reason one must believe in them even when they happen right in front of your eyes.The story of the rich man in the Bible helps us understand what the Pharisee looked like during the time of Jesus. They were really good people, better than me. Their problem was that they could not see their own small sins as significant. This is true today of many Christians, they choose to be seen as pure and point out the major problems of others. The more a believer walks with Christ, the more the believer will learn to appreciate him; the more crowns the believer may lay at Christ's feet during his or her heavenly judgment. Would you go to a birthday party or wedding without a gift? A true Christian will deny himself or herself like Christ did when tempted by the Devil. The devil desired to give Christ power and authority if he had chosen to bow down and be like the prideful deceiver (Matthew 4:1-9). What does this mean to deny himself? A true believer does not concern himself or herself with self promotion or titles. Why? Heaven is a place of unity. Christ said that whoever does the will of my father in heaven is my Brother, Sister, and Mother. In Heaven there are many different roles, however one is not seen as better than another. Christ said why you call me good only God is good. This is the point of heaven. Jesus is nothing like Satan and Christians need to remember this and take it to heart, so that they know who they serve. Many are serving the devil and don’t even know it because they surround themselves with like minded Pharisee. |
