For we also have heard the Gospel preached to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because those who heard did not combine it with faith. (Hebrews 4:2). The Israelites of Moses' day illustrate a problem facing many Christians today or alternatively, people who fill our churches today. The know a great deal about Christ, but they do not know Him personally - they do not combine their knowledge with faith. They know the stories in the Bible, but they do not know the God behind those stories. Let the Good News about Christ benefit your life. Believe in Him & then act on what you know. Trust in God & do what He says. For us to be able to remove action from the pages of the Bible, we need to mix the Word with faith. For the word of knowledge, prophecy, etc to manifest in to our lives, we must combine it with faith. Without faith, nothing will happens. Let us speak the language of the Bible. Why?

Grace & peace be with you.

No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying: Know the Lord, because they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest. (Hebrews 8:10-11). If our hearts are not changed, following God's rules will be unpleasant & difficult. We will rebel against being told how to live the Christian way. The Holy Spirit, however, gives us new desires, helping us wanting to obey God. With new hearts, hearts of flesh & not hearts of stone, we will find that serving God is our greatest joy. Under God's new covenant, God's law is inside us & not outside, ie, on a tablet of stone. No, it's written in our hearts. It is no longer an external set of rules & principles. The Holy Spirit reminds us of Christ's words, activates our ...
