For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

How can I know God’s Will?
This is a common question asked by many Christians, “How can I know God’s will?”. It is hard to make wise decisions when we encounter difficulties.

Two new lessons made October 10, 2016
I would like to share to you two new lessons I made entitled, “THE WAGES OF SIN” and “WHY EVE FELL TO SIN”. I had a hard time coloring the latter because when i put a color to a certain area, the color would spread to other areas. I think its because after I’ve drawn it, I just took a picture of it from my cellphone and the quality of the picture is not good. So that early morning, I decided to post it without color. I finished the lesson about 1 am of October 11. Here is how the drawings look like without a color.
In the morning about 11 am, I scanned the drawing and colored it through windows paint. I got satisfied of the result. Here is the result:

Have you experienced spiritual birth?
The term, “Born Again” has become so common today and many religious groups are using the words to name themselves. Oftentimes, it is thought of as a religion or a name of a group. However, born again has reference to having a relationship with Christ, not a name of a religious group. Everyone is spiritually dead until he is born of the Spirit. Not all who uses the name “born again” are truly born again. Continue reading

SURVEY: “How can a person obtain salvation?”
Salvation by Grace through Faith
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. — Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV
This lesson was created January 22, 2016. What is the importance of this lesson? It is hard for a person to fully understand God’s way of salvation without understanding about His grace. Many people would insist their own ways of salvation based on their good deeds and efforts to keep the law. However, the Bible says:
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Romans 3:23 KJV
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
Isaiah 64:6 KJV
If you happen to see a man in a car accident, and he couldn’t do anything to save himself, and he could not exert any effort to help himself to stand up and go to the hospital because he is almost dead; and you helped him and brought him to the hospital, that is a demonstration of grace.
The point is that we are all helpless sinners, unable to save ourselves. However God demonstrated his mercy for us, and saved those who believe by grace. Salvation is a gift of God, and no one works for a gift.
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. — Romans 5:8 KJV
And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
Romans 11:6 KJV

Three New Lessons
Three new lessons were made today, January 29, 2016. They are: “The Importance of a Clear Conscience”, “The Hindrance to a Clear Conscience”, and “Forgiving Others”.
Click title to view The Importance of a Clear Conscience
A person who has clear conscience has inner freedom of spirit toward God and others knowing that he has not offended God in his thoughts or actions and if he has made an offense, he has asked forgiveness for it and manifested repentance through his words and deeds.
Having a clear conscience will make you sensitive to God’s guidance and direction in life so that you will be wise in all your decisions and receive blessings from the Lord.

There is a saying, “The greater the guilt, the greater the blame”. Justifying self and blaming others is a way to erase guilt resulting from sin. The Bible says:
“He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy”. — Proverbs 28:13 KJV
Click title to view Forgiving Others
Have you the POWER to FORGIVE others? How can you forgive those who did you wrong? Should you live in hatred, unforgiving spirit, and bitterness? Is it possible for you to forgive others and experience love, joy and peace?
“Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.”
Colossians 3:13-15 KJV
Do you know the real purpose of life?
A lot of people are living in this world without knowing the real purpose of their existence. If confronted with a question, “What is your purpose in life?” , many would give answers such as “to graduate, to marry, to raise children, to serve others, etc.” But such are just our goals in life which revolve around our purpose.. If your purpose in life is just to marry, then when you are married already, you no longer have a purpose. Or if your purpose in life is just to raise children, so when your children are grown up and become independent then you lose your purpose. Some people are in this world as if they exist just to work and they have no time for God. We need to work to live but we do not live to work. Those who do not value God in their lives and are so workaholic, that they cannot give time to knowing God, will someday resign from their jobs and live the rest of their lives without a sense of purpose, and would just wait till they die. You need to know God’s purpose for your life.
