Have you ever heard at Christmas time, "Jesus is the Greatest Gift?" It seems to be a popular theme. During my study of Holy Spirit I have come to what I feel is a more complete understanding. I now believe that the greatest gift from God isn't Jesus Himself, it is His Spirit.
All of us have different paths in life and have been exposed to various teachings. Some of us study our Bibles, memorize scriptures and regularly attend church and some of us don't. Some of us have never picked up a Bible but we still go to church and call ourselves Christians. Some have learned man-made religious doctrines and are taught to keep various traditions. Some have been to Seminary or Bible college, but have never had a personal encounter with Jesus.
Yes, you read that right. You are not a sinner if you have ever sincerely received Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord. If you disagree, the trouble may be that you received Jesus as a child, invited Him into your heart - as many are instructed to do - and then continued to grow up without a real relationship with Him, which will only develop as you personally study His Word and fellowship with other believers.
About The Christian LifeThis blog will be about whatever the Holy Spirit prompts me to address. It happens frequently that something in daily life will create a thought that lends a great opportunity to shine a light on some Biblical truth – or something that comes against Biblical teaching: current events, a news story, a photograph or a personal life experience can all prompt a blog. So, it will be an adventure as we both see what the Spirit of the Living God wants me to elaborate on.
Most scripture quotes will be from the New King James Version. When another version is quoted, I will designate that.
If you have comments or question regarding my posts, I encourage you to complete the form on this website so we can think together and learn more about the Christian life.
