a WORD from God's Book (photo: WOW! Not just a bush - home cs) ___________________________________________________________________________________ "So what's new? I know all this. The question is, "How can mere mortals get right with God?' But how can people call for help if they don't know who to trust? And how can they know who to trust if they haven't heard of the One who can be trusted? And how can they hear if nobody tells them?
Since the world in all its fancy wisdom never had a clue when it came to knowing God, God in his wisdom took delight in using what the world considered dumb--preaching, of all things!-to bring those who trust him into the way of salvation.
And this is the real and eternal life: That they know you, The one and only true God, And Jesus Christ, whom you sent.
We know very well that we are not set right with God by rule-keeping but only through personal faith in Jesus Christ. How do we know? We tried it--and we had the best system of rules the world has ever seen! Convinced that no human being can please God by self-improvement, we believed in Jesus as the Messiah so that we might be set right before God by trusting in the Messiah, not by trying to be good.
Job 9:2 Romans 10:14 1 Corinthians 1:21 John 17:3 Galatians 2:16
