Bible Teachings (Page: 1)

Seek God according to His commandments

There is a way to worship Him. We can only worship Him in the way God has given us. There are no new ways of doing this, there are no new teachings of the Holy Spirit on this, for just as Jesus said that the Holy Spirit does not speak his own, but what Jesus said (John 16:13).

Delighting in the Law of God

If we love God more than anything, then His laws (also known as His will) become our delight, because then we no longer fulfill them because God asks of us, but because we want to fulfill them.

The Obedience of Faith

Parents expect trust from their children. Especially when the child is young, it is not possible for the child to understand everything what we are asking for. And when children are older, they expect us to explain our requests to them. However, parents do not always like this, as they expect trust and obedience from their children. If this is important between the parent and the child, how much more between God and His creatures?

What should we do?

If we truly (in deeds) love God, we can know Him. We do not change immediately at repentance, but through knowing God. Repentance is just the beginning of the journey, you have to go through it, you have to go through the door.

Endurance

The Heroes of Faith, whose lives we can read in the Tanach, became heroes because they stood in the commandments of God, endured in faith throughout their lives, and believed unwaveringly in the promises of God what they did not see them fulfilled.

Abundant Life

Wealth is a relative concept, one who has a house and a car can feel poor as opposed to one who has a luxury boat and mansion. There are people who have neither a house nor a car and are struggling to make a living every day, these people feel poor compared to those who have a house and a car.

Joseph Foreshadows Jesus

We have already spoken of several persons who foreshadowed Jesus in deeds and in the events that befell them. Mentioning some of these were Moses, Solomon, and Elisha. Today we will look into the life and deeds of Joseph in the signs of the Messiah.

Without limits

Elijah is a great example of how close we can be to God. He was just a man, just as we are. There is no limit to the knowledge of God, God is holy, and only those who live as holy can be close to Him.

Isaac's age

According to Jewish tradition, Isaac was 37 years old, which is fully supported by the book of Jasher. But what is this book of Jasher? It is an important book because it is also referred to in the Tanach (Old Testament), namely in the book of Joshua.

The Rock

The first time Moses had to strike the rock, the second time they had to ask. It doesn’t seem like a big difference, as it had to be struck for the first time, and the end result is the same: it became water for the people. Yet this was a big difference before God so much that God did not allow Moses and Aaron into the land of promise.
