The Bible nowhere attempts to prove or argue the existence of God. The Scriptures below give us the Bible’s approach to the subject of the existence of God: “…because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists” (Hebrews 11:6) “The fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God.’” (Psalm 14:1) The writers of the Scripture, both Old and New Testaments, clearly portrayed the existence of God as a fact which was simply taken for granted, and rightly so.

Lesson #19A - Stewardship, Tithing, and Giving David Livingstone once said, “I will place no value on anything I may possess except in relation to the kingdom of Christ. If anything I have will advance the interests of that Kingdom, it shall be given away or kept only so that by giving or keeping it, I may promote the glory of Him, to whom I owe all my hopes in time and eternity.

In Matthew 23:12 Jesus said, “For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.” From this we can see that someone will do the exalting and someone will do the humbling. If we do the exalting, God does the humbling. If we do the humbling, God does the exalting. We get to determine who does which.

In Paul’s letter to the Romans, he quotes Psalm 32 saying, “Blessed are they whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against him” (Romans 4:7-8). It is a great blessing to be forgiven by God, one He has freely bestowed upon all who have faith in Christ. But we are under obligation to give away what we have received (Matthew 10:8), so we must forgive others in the same way that God has forgiven us (Ephesians 4:32). [Read More]

Lesson 16A - The Laying On of Hands God loves to bless his people and impart various aspects of his nature to them. The doctrine of the laying on of hands shows us that one of the ways God chooses to impart these things is by having one of his servants lay hands on another believer.

Eternal judgment refers to those decisions rendered by The Almighty which determine the destination and standing of each human for all eternity. The Scripture declares: For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat. It is written: “‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord, ‘Every knee will bow before me; every tongue will confess to God.’” So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God (Romans 14:10c-12).

As Paul was making his defense before King Agrippa, he challenged his hearers by saying, “Why should any of you consider it incredible that God raises the dead?” (Acts 26:8). Although some people mistakenly fail to believe in God’s power to raise the dead, the resurrection of the dead is a vitally important truth which is clearly declared in Scripture.

The author of the book of Hebrews writes, “Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God, instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment” (Hebrews 6:1-2). Two of these six foundational doctrines have already been covered in lessons 4, 5, and 12. [Read More]

Repentance means simply turning from sin to God. It is required of all people everywhere, both saved and unsaved (Acts 17:30). In the heart of God there is a deep desire for all to come to repentance. This can be seen in Ezekiel 18:23, “Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked? declares the Sovereign Lord. Rather, am I not pleased when they turn from their ways and live? [Read More]
