Believe …. it’s the 2nd step to having personal Peace

 What does it mean to  “believe” ???

 

 Believing in God has been an attitude of Man, since the beginning of time, 

 It is reasonable to assume that Adam taught his children about his experiences with God,and that others continued through out following generations, causing them also to believe in God.

 Furthermore, Man has an ‘inborn’ understanding and belief that God exists “ For the truth about God is known to them instinctively; God has put this knowledge in their hearts“ Rom 1:19

 

  But does this belief result in the benefits described in John 3:16 ??“ For God so loved the world  that He gave His one and only Son,  that  whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life”  Jn 3:16  .

Not always… Satan himself has this belief, and the Bible tells us he is ultimately destroyed, and has no Salvation. 

 

 ” But I believe in Jesus ” , you may say… But do you really believe ?? 

Jesus is recorded in John  3: 15 and 16 as telling Nicodemus he must believe,  in order to have eternal life ,

but taken literally,  out of the context of all of that Jesus taught, may be hazardous to your (spiritual) health,and your salvation. 

 Jesus is recorded later by John as saying to Martha ” anyone who lives and believes in me shall never die “ Jn 11:26  so we can see He expects us to live in His ways, as well as believe. 

 

  James , the Lord‘s brother was more direct..” Fool, when will you ever learn that ‘believing’ is useless without doing what God wants you to ? “ Jas 2:20

  Salvation is a FREE GIFT from God…you can never do enough to deserve His Mercy, or His Forgiveness…but you are expected to be doing good deeds as you live..1Jn 5:3  1 Jn 3:10,11 

   Salvation and Eternal Life will not be obtained because you do good to others, if you refuse to learn to Love God, Mt 22:37,39….….Love your neighbor, and ….and if you are a Christian,  Love your Christian Brother Jn15:12,17    For it is these 3 that were commanded by the Lord Jesus. 

   You may already be living as God would want you to be…doing good to show your love,and feel secure in your salvation…. But do you really believe ??

 

 <<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>

 

   Perhaps a look at a Webster’s Dictionary will provide a renewed perspective…true ‘ belief ‘  is   ” having trust or confidence in some person “it is NOT just   ” mental acceptance that something is true”

   The Old English root of the word ‘believe’ is   “leof”  ( love) which indicates that “belief”  included a close, personal, connection…

   ‘Believing’  in the original meaning involves a loving endearment with God in trust and obedience .  

Understanding that the original root of the word   ‘ believe’ is “leof” and  includes ‘love’, it becomes obvious that there is more to ” believing”  than just saying it is so.

….Peace .. Forgiveness .. Decisions .. Prosperity .. Healing .. Destiny… all realized as you understand God’s Will and God’s Plan

Welcome

As the site name implies,

this blog is about an

effective reading of the Holy Bible privately, and for Bible Study Groups.

Over the years, I have read the entire Bible numerous times, and I have promoted the reading the Holy Bible more effectively to many others.

As we have encouraged others to “read the Bible”  , we have used and reviewed many “daily reading programs”.

In 1998 , we were moved to once again read the entire Bible, but this time, we did not use a daily program, but rather read the Bible’s contents as we were felt to be led, and as usual , kept notes. Eventually, we finished reading the entire Holy Bible again, but with a much better understanding.

When we reviewed the order of our notes, we could see the pattern of the order that we had been led to follow, but since we did not determine any of this order in advance, we accept no credit for it’s organization.

The reading order clearly results in the most effective understanding of the Word of Almighty God , according to many that have followed it.

Printed in a “Daily Reading” format, when followed daily, the reader will complete reading the Holy Bible in one year.

However, experience has shown than most readers begin daily Bible reading programs with enthusiasm, but do not continue after a few weeks, and very few read daily for a year.
Mostly, this is a result of busy schedules of work and family, and once a few days of reading are missed, the commitment to read becomes a failure to the reader., much like an unfulfilled New Years Resolution.

Our approach has been to encourage readers to set a goal to “read the entire Bible” …

and read and study more effectively

We suggest reading as much as possible, as often as possible , while keeping track of progress on the formatted program. Since a “daily” reading commitment is not suggested, there never is a sense of failure for missing a day or more,   and many actually complete the reading in less than a year.

We hope that this site becomes a motivator for you to experience a better understanding of Almighty God, by a more effective reading and study of just 1Book, the Holy Bible
