Bible Teachings (Page: 2)

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.

Does God kill?

Among Christians is the mindset that God never kills. This is justified by the fact that God is love, so love cannot kill. They also explain that the Ten Commandments contain “thou shalt not kill,” and God applies this to Himself.

Preach the Truth

Christians preach the truth in their own view, but it often differs from the truth of the Bible. This is because they are not trying to understand the truth by the Word of God. Many determine what is the truth by their own hearts and thoughts, but we can only know the truth through the word of God.

One-Man Army

It is really easier to stay in faith if everything is fine with us and around us. But it is a state of comfort that does not require much faith from us. What we see with our eyes does not require faith, but when God hides Himself from us, it really shows how much faith we have in Him.

Gratitude

Gratitude is one of the important things that should characterize a Christian. If we are not grateful for God’s blessings, let us not be surprised if God withdraws the blessings we thought were natural.
