How is your Soul?

is so false. He is love, but He cannot and will not tolerate sin of any kind. He is holy, righteous, a judge and so much more. To have the wrong impression of God is no better than worshiping something that God is not, and then this becomes nothing but an idol or a false god.

The Bible also tells us how we can go to heaven; you can't get to heaven by being good or by being baptized. There is only one way and that is through a relationship with Jesus Christ; there is no other way.

John 14:6 says, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.'"

Also, with this scripture, God's Word shows us just how much God loves us.

John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."

This also shows us that in learning this, we are drawn in closer to love Him in return, as 1 John 4:19 says, "We love Him because He first loved us."

The Bible is a book that we can study so we can apply it to our lives. The Bible is God's word, and it is binding, just as the laws of nature are. We could ignore it if we want to, but it's at our own disadvantage, just as if we would ignore the laws of gravity. I cannot express enough how important the Bible is to our lives.

I have had people say to me, "So you read the Bible?" I say to them, "Yes I do." They say, "Well I have too, but it doesn't do anything for me; my life didn't change at all." So I would ask them, "Well, how often do you read your Bible?" Their response would be, "I only read it here and there, because I really don't have the time to read it anymore than that."

So I say to them, "No wonder things are not working in your life!"

Making time for God and studying His word takes a lot of committment. You get out of the Bible what you put into it; you reap what you sow.

The more effort you make to learn His perfect will for your life, the more you will be rewarded. And then you can say, "It is well, it is well with my soul."
