Have you ever believed in the Lord, yet immediately fallen into the trap of self‑striving—resolving to do good, escape sin, and improve yourself by your own effort? This common response misses the very heart of God’s salvation: it is not about human resolution, but about abiding in God and letting His life dwell within you.
Do you know how the Bible describes the Trinity? And how many stages are there in the redemptive work of the Lord Jesus? You will find the answers by reading this message.
Do you long for greater illumination as you read the Bible? Do you desire more of God’s revelation and His personal speaking during your Scripture reading? Before we begin, we must first understand what the Bible truly is — from the perspective of God’s Word, what exactly is the essential nature of the Bible? Only when we grasp the Bible’s true essence can our Bible reading receive more divine light and revelation.
This message introduces the languages in which the Bible was written, the intended readers of each biblical book, and exactly how many books make up the Bible.
For one who loves the Lord, the Spirit within them grows naturally. As this spiritual life matures, its fruit will inevitably manifest outwardly. As we read this message together, let us examine what spiritual characteristics should be evident in the heart of a believer who loves the Lord with a healthy faith.
All spiritual growth and spiritual maturity come from obeying the requirements that God places within our spirit. Whenever we fail to obey the inner demand of the spirit along the path of the Christian life, we become failures before God.
