Most certainly, since the whole scripture is in a sense God's self-revelation simultaneously as being the words of man. The Bible reveals a great deal about God's character and dealings with people, particularly the Israelites. Jesus Christ inaugurated the New Covenant referred to in the Old Testament - He Himself being God. The fact that He walked for over 30 years among us indicates His desire for us to know Him. There are many passages which indicate that God wants us not just to know facts about Him but to actually know Him personally.
6Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink: that ye might know that I am the LORD your God. This verse refers to God's provisions for the Israelites in the wilderness. 7And I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the LORD: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart. 38But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him. 3And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
This quote is from John Flavel, a 17th-century English Presbyterian clergyman. It means that when we are at the end of our own abilities and strength, it is an opportunity for God to work and show His power in our lives. It conveys the idea that in our weakness, God's strength is made perfect.
We have precious little information on Abel. All we know from scripture is that Abel was born after Cain. However, we do not know the location of his birth. We do know that Adam and Eve were no longer allowed access to Eden, so Abel couldn't have been born there. We know that Abel kept watch over sheep and that he sacrificed the from the best of his herd and offered the fat parts to God in offering. We know that God was satisfied with Abel's sacrifice and was not satisfied with Cain's sacrifice. Finally, we know that Cain murdered Abel. That's it as far as I know with regard to his story. There are other references to Abel in scripture, even from Christ. Scripture also refers to a physical place that included the name Abel, probably in reference to the Abel of Genesis. Scripture says nothing about Abel ever marrying or having children, as far as I know. Both Cain and Abel are said to have been conceived and born after man's fall, so they did not have the privilege of seeing Eden in its glory. However, because of God's conversation with Cain after the murder, we see that God apparently still interacted directly with at least some men. We see nothing is scripture that indicated Cain was surprised to hear from God, so it had most probably happened before.
James 2:19 is a great scripture to show that BELIEF in God is not enough, since even the demons 'believe', but that won't be enough to save them. Matthew 7:21-23 shows that obedience to God is what saves lives.
John 10:28 - "I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand." This verse emphasizes the eternal security believers have in God, that nothing and no one can separate them from His love and the gifts He has for them.
Pantheism rejects Scripture and professes that God is an impersonal Being revealed only in nature. Pantheists believe that divinity is inherent in the natural world and can be experienced through nature rather than through sacred texts.
Well any church can show love for God and it doesn't even have to be in a church. If the church does bad things and know wants to show love for God they can you just have belivebecause God knows what they will do.
According to scripture, God knows when we will die because he is all-knowing and has a plan for each person's life.
The Holy Bible is inspired directly from God and it helps all people to know how God wants us to live our lives. The scripture of the Islamic religion is the Koran and the Haddith.
The idea that God wants to show Himself strong is often derived from the Bible, particularly in 2 Chronicles 16:9, which states, "For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him." This verse emphasizes God's desire to support and empower those who are faithful to Him. Additionally, similar themes can be found throughout scripture, reflecting God's strength and willingness to act on behalf of His people.
The Holy Bible is inspired directly from God and if people follow scripture, they can follow God's teachings for us.
There is no scripture that says that God dies.
The four things that God wants you to know are: He loves you unconditionally. He forgives your sins. He has a plan for your life. He is always with you.
first you have to pray that God will show you what he wants you to do. God has something for everyone to do you just have to seek God
Yes, the scripture mentions that God does not test us.
It is difficult when reading scripture to say with any conviction that there is inerrancy in it. One must read and study the scriptures, then ask God if what you have read is true. If you ask with a sincere heart and have the faith to know that he will answer your prayer, then you will know of the truth of all things. If what you read is good then it is of God.
One term that many people use is "God/Man". This term is not found in scripture but is strongly implied. We know that Jesus was a man born of a woman and we are plainly told in scripture that He was/is God.
No. There is a scripture that says "we are predestined to become children of God" that is misunderstood. This only means that when we become a Chrisitan, God wants us to grow in maturity. It does not mean the Bible teaches predestination.
