Question – Jesus, 126

 ~ Regarding Signs ~

 

Introduction  ~  This series is about questions involving Jesus.  Some were asked by individuals involved with Jesus Christ while He walked on earth.  Others are questions that Jesus Christ asked others.  We will look at questions on over 160 topics (some may split into two or more posts).  Even so, it is far from an exhaustive list. 

 

Scripture  ~  “Then the Pharisees came out and began to dispute with Him, seeking from Him a sign from heaven, testing Him.  But He sighed deeply in His spirit, and said, ‘Why does this generation seek a sign?  Assuredly, I say to you, no sign shall be given to this generation’” (Mark 8:11-12).

God Is My… , 12

 ~ God Is My Source of Life, 2 ~

 

Introduction  ~  Previously (July 16, 2017 – January 6, 2019) ALN posted a series of 82 posts of “Jesus is…,” and then we looked exclusively at who “God is…” from the Book of Psalms (February 9, 2020 – December 5, 2021).  We are now considering “God is…” statements from non-Psalms passages. 

 

Passage  ~  “Do not marvel, my brethren, if the world hates you.  We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren” (1 John 3:13-14a). 

 

Another Passage  ~  “The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus.  You handed him over to be killed, and you disowned him before Pilate, though he had decided to let him go.  You disowned the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you.  You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead.  We are witnesses of this.  By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong.  It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through him that has given this complete healing to him, as you can all see” (Acts 3:13-16 niv).

Myth, 131

 ~ Christians Don’t Have Enough Resources ~

 

Myth  ~  Christians are often expected to do more than they are capable of including not having enough resources.

 

Reality  ~  What God calls you to do He will provide all you need.  There is absolutely no valid reason to use resources as an excuse for obedient action. 

 

Scripture  ~  “My God shall supply all my needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19)

 

Quotes  ~  “The problem for most Christians is not knowledge but obedience.”  ~ John MacArthur 

 

“Only he who believes is obedient and only he who obeys believes.”   ~ Dietrich Bonhoffer

 

Question  ~  Are you obedient?
