MCGI CARES LIVE
Thank you Jesus for the gift of life. You've shown me mercy throughout this week up till this very day all praise adoration be unto your holy name amen.
Today we started by talking about the bible, and I was able to understand that the bible is the highest selling book of all time but even with the fact that it is the highest selling book of all time, there are people who haven't come in contact with the Bible and there are people who have never heard of the Bible. The explosion of knowledge and technology has made bible more accessible to people. The codex syniticus was hand written in the year 1600 year's ago, there were other Bible's existing at that time which was explained by bro elisoriano. There are places where the bible is prohibited, but now how would this people obtain salvation if they haven't read the bible and haven't known our lord Jesus Christ.
Even if a person does not know God, there is a chance such person could be saved. For example doing the right thing like staying away from adultery, being good to our fellow men and also loving your neighbor as you love yourself. Then such person would be saved, even though the person doesn't have any access to the holy scripture or doesn't know God as a result of the place he or she lives.
1 Timothy 2:4 made me understand that God wants all men to be saved and be knowledgeable of the truth. Also in different ways we can hear and listen to the word of God. This is an aspect we should pay attention to in our lives as Christians. God wants us to be knowledgeable of his commandments in order for us not to perish.
Romans 2:13 I understood here that the doer's of the Lord shall be justified, but those who hear but aren't doers of the work of God will not be saved. Therefore we can be saved if we haven't heard, those who are blind can still be saved. So all we do is to show the work of the Lord and we would be saved. Even if we haven't heard, but when we show the work of the God in our heart we would be saved by God, so we mustn't hear the word of God to get salvation.
Lessons from today's mcgi cares live
Today I learnt that true salvation can be achieved by anyone. Irrespective of the place you find yourself, some places or countries has banned the bible from being imported into their country as a result of this people living in such countries do not have access to the Bible and word of God. I was able to understand that those people can still be saved when the have the work if God printed in their hearts. They must not be hearers of the word of God to get salvation but when they are doer's of God's word they will be saved.
Also I learnt that God wants us to be knowledgeable about his doctrines, we have to study the words of God frequently. Being knowledgeable about the word of God will save us from perishing, we should be doer's of God's work not only hearers. If we do good to our fellow men we are automatically obeying the doctrines of God.
Proverbs 19:17 I learnt from this scripture that when we have pity upon the poor, when we are of good to the poor we are automatically lending to the Lord and we should practice the works of God. Reason is because if we lend to God, God will surely reward us handsomely.
