First pageHere are some points to consider in your search for God
or in your walk with God:(1) God is holy.He cannot sin.
(2) God's words are holy. There is no sin in them. Words that are
contrary or in opposition to God's words are sinful or unholy.
Home
(3) The Holy Bible contains God's holy words.
To Bible Search Tools
(4) The writings or holy scriptures speak consistently,from the
first book to the last book, of a holy God.
To Second page
(5) The holy scriptures were not committed to unholy men or to men
without faith in the true holy God.
To Third page
(6) The holy scriptures contain prophecies. Many were fulfilled.
There are more prophecies to be fulfilled, and they will be fulfilled
in their appointed times. No one can prevent the fulfillment of God's
prophecies. The fulfillment of the holy prophecies confirms the holy
scriptures as the true word of God.

(7) Faith in God is a spiritual or supernatural faith and is a gift
from God. You can seek God with natural faith. However, you must come
to the place where you receive by grace the spiritual faith. Not
everyone has spiritual faith. Only those who received Jesus Christ, the
Son of God as their saviour, have this faith. Abraham, Moses and many
others who lived before the cross of Jesus had this faith. Although
natural faith can be in things unseen,it also allows you to trust in
things you can see and reason about. Spiritual faith is in and only
through Jesus Christ.You believe in Him even though you cannot see Him.
Natural faith is exercised to sit on a chair. You believe the chair
will support your body. You can see the chair. Almost everyone can do
this. Spiritual faith is imparted by the Holy Spirit to those chosen of
God.
(8) Heaven is a holy spiritual place. The unholy cannot enter into
heaven.
Second page(9) Hell is an invisible realm designed as a place of punishment for
wicked people and spirits.
(10) Eternal life is a gift from God and can only be received as a
gift through faith in Jesus Christ our Lord.

(11) Righteousness (God's righteousness) is a gift. Those who are
redeemed by Jesus Christ have God's righteousness. It is perfect and
everlasting.

(12) The church is made up of those who believe in Jesus Christ.
They are the true saints.
To First page
(13) People cannot be made saints based on works done by them.
No man(except the man Christ Jesus) can bestow sainthood upon anyone.
God the Father, the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ the Lord make saints.
Not even an angel can make anyone a saint. When someone is born again
through faith in Jesus Christ, he or she is made a saint then. It is a
gift of God. It is based on the completed work of God at the cross of
Jesus His Son. The Holy Spirit seals the born again believer forever
as a saint of God. He or she is made a saint because God's perfect
righteousness is imputed to him or her.
To Third page
(14) Jesus Christ,the Son of God, was before creation. While He
appeared in this realm about two thousand years ago, He was in the
spiritual realm before that. Now He is in the spiritual realm.
To Fourth page
(15) Jesus Christ is the chief apostle in the church. The office of
an apostle in the true church is higher than the office of a prophet
in the church. Since the church is still being built by Jesus, the
office of apostles still exists. Any teaching that exalts a prophet
outside the church or outside the kingdom of God, above the apostles of
Jesus Christ, is contrary to the true teachings of God. The prophets
Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, and John the Baptist are in the
kingdom of God.
Third page(16) The church has two mighty prophets still to be revealed to
the world. You will find mention of them in the book of Revelation.
Therefore any teaching that exalts a prophet outside the church, who
came before those two,as being the last prophet from God, is contrary
to the teachings of the holy scriptures. Remember,all prophecies in the
scriptures will be fulfilled.
Home
(17) There are curses and blessings. Curses result in much
sufferings in the world. Another reason is that God still
punishes evildoers. Accidents and natural disasters cause sufferings.
Ignorance in different areas of life account for numerous sufferings.
Ignorance about God and His ways also account for much sufferings.

(18) While you can make choices and determine many things about
your life, there are things that are beyond your control or power.
The Lord of heaven rules. The world says you can become anything
you want to become. God the Father sent His Son Jesus, and for a
while, Jesus (the Lord from heaven)worked as a carpenter. His example
of obedience is ours to follow. It is not possible for you to become
whatever you like, unless it is in the plan and will of God.
To First page
(19) True and everlasting success is not necessarily being rich,
famous, mighty, or noble. True and everlasting success is being
faithful to the Lord Jesus Christ even if you are none of these.
To Second page
(20) God has mighty holy angels carrying out His commands. They
affect events here on earth.
To Fourth page
(21) There are opposing unholy angels in the unseen realm. They
also affect events here on earth. They are responsible for much
destruction and sufferings. They do not want people to believe in
Jesus Christ and obtain salvation. Their leader is Satan(Lucifer).
(22)Satan is a fallen angel. He wants to take the place of the
living God. He is the cause of many evil, including many religions
which allow him to be worshipped instead of God. He is a deceiver,
Fourth pageand can cause strong delusions in people to keep them as his
servants. He can blind the minds of millions of people so they
remain unreceptive to the truth of God.
(23) Satan and his angels were defeated at the cross of Jesus
Christ. Therefore, you can overcome Satan only through Jesus Christ
and the cross if you want eternal life.
Home
(24) Satan has limitations. He and his angels(devils or demons)
cannot do anything to you unless you and/or God permit them.

(25) Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the Son of God, is the only true
Messiah.
To First page
(26) False prophets and false messiahs are spoken of in the holy
scriptures. They will perform miracles to deceive the ignorant and
rebellious.
To Second page
(27) God's miracles are pure and holy. While God does miracles
without human instruments, He does many through His true worshippers
They are used to bring glory to God. Miracles that do not glorify
the true living God are deceptive and dangerous.
To Third page
(28) False prophets and false messiahs are antichrists.
(29) In the last generation, at the coming of the Lord Jesus to
rule and reign on earth, an evil ruler called Antichrist will
oppose the God of heaven. He will not continue for long. Those who
follow him will suffer destruction.
(30) During his reign Antichrist will destroy all existing
religions and faiths except the christian faith. He will do
so because he will require all on earth to worship him.
(31) The coming of Antichrist is very, very soon.
(32) The return of the Lord Jesus is therefore, very, very soon.
