Importance of Reading the Bible

Reading the bible cover to cover will help us understand how we have transitioned from the Old Covenant to the New Covenant of God. This is so important to learn and understand that we are now a new creation in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! 2 Corinthians 5:17

If you don’t own a bible or if you are a new follower of Jesus, you can take a look at this post that explains the different types of bibles suitable for beginners. While there are online bibles and apps available, there is nothing like reading from an actual bible.

By following the ways of Christ, we are spreading the good news. These comforting Jesus quotes can help you stay focussed on the Lord in reassurance that you are on the right path.

The sermon on the mount, can be considered as one of the best teachings of Jesus in the Bible.

These are not just encouraging words from Jesus, but in fact the true word of the living God, who is the same yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13:8). Since we know that these teaching of Jesus from over 2000 years ago are still applicable to our daily lives, this means that Jesus still heals, delivers and protects us from all evil.

No matter what you may be facing today, remember that our Lord Jesus is able to do the impossible. Do not live in fear. Live in Christ.

Overhearing what they said, Jesus told him, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.” Mark 5:36

Conclusion on Encouraging Words of Jesus

Success is not determined by wealth or career. The ultimate aim in life is to have eternal life in the Kingdom of God.

We are all here on earth for a short time where we are often faced with trials and tribulations. But there is a place in heaven that God is preparing for you and me.

Luke 13:22-30 – Someone asked him, “Lord, are only a few people going to be saved?” He said to them, “Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to. Once the owner of the house gets up and closes the door, you will stand outside knocking and pleading, ‘Sir, open the door for us.’ “But he will answer, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.

It is the few people who humble themselves and follow Jesus, who are the ones who enter through the Narrow gate to heaven.

Prayer of Salvation to Enter the Kingdom of God

Dear God, I stand before You today in awe of Your Holy presence. Jesus, I know and believe that You are the one true God who judges the living and the dead. I believe and accept You as my Lord and Savior. And that it is through You that I can enter the Kingdom of Heaven so that I may pass into eternal life. Lord You said in John 5:24, “Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life.” God, I believe in this scripture with all my heart and ask that You hear my prayer in Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
