It appears that the value standards constructed by humans over time in response to societal changes—such as work achievements, social status, and economic power—are being substituted for the inherent value (human essence) that people naturally possess.

Now, let us compare God’s values ​​with the values ​​that humans have created within society.

God cares about real honesty and integrity deep inside a person, not just outward appearances.

Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight. Proverbs 12:22 UKJV

Modern society has become a world where lies and falsehoods run rampant as a matter of course. （YouTube, social media, etc.）

Beloved, let us love one another: for love (o. agape) is of God; and every one that loves is born of God, and knows God. He that loves not knows not God; for God is love. (o. agape) 1 John 4:7-8 UKJV

In modern society, individualism that prioritizes personal fulfillment and self-interest is widespread. (The “Main Character” Syndrome, Social Isolation and Mental Health)

God delights in acts filled with loving-kindness.

I am the LORD which exercise loving kindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, Jeremiah 9:24 UKJV

In modern society, we frequently see instances of theft and behavior—such as the use of rude language or verbal abuse—that, far from elevating a person’s character, actually degrades it.

God values ​​forgiveness.

If all of you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if all of you forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Matthew 6:14-15 UKJV

Revenge stories in modern cinema are often romanticized as heroic acts, thereby influencing people’s minds.

God Opposes the Proud.

God resists the proud, but gives grace unto the humble. James 4:6 UKJV

In modern society, arrogance—or a borderline “conviction in oneself” and a sense of superiority (or dominance)—is often viewed as a driving force for success. In highly competitive environments, arrogance holds practical value..

The Bible teaches that spiritual truth is granted based on the state of a person’s heart, rather than their worldly status or intellect. The term “little children” signifies complete dependence, humility, and an open attitude..

At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hid these things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them unto babes. ( Matthew 11:25 UKJV)

But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit (o. pneuma) of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
(1 Corintians 2:14 UKJV)

This means that unless the Holy Spirit shapes our spiritual perception, the deep truths of the Bible remain closed to us. When you approach the Bible with a spirit of accepting its teachings and surrendering yourself to it, you are granted the grace necessary to understand its truth.

But he gives more grace. Wherefore he says, God resists the proud, but gives grace unto the humble.(James 4:6 UKJV)

Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, (Luke 24:45 UKJV)

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:(2 Timothy 3:16 UKJV)

13 For every one that uses milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. 14 But strong food belongs to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.(Hebrew 5:13-14 UKJV)

It explains that spiritual maturity requires time and is a process of transitioning from the “milk” of basic teachings to the “solid food” of deeper spiritual insight—insight gained through constant practice and discernment.

I don’t know God’s intention for the four Gospels, but my image of the four Gospels is like viewing a single cube from four different directions (front, left and right sides, and back). Despite being written from different angles and from different authors’ perspectives, all four Gospels point to the exact same truth of God. And I felt that each one was crafted to deliver this message to everyone through its own unique expression. I believe the Gospel is not merely a report of historical facts, but a powerful testimony about Jesus.

“This is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. ” (1 John 5:11)

“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (John 14:6)

Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” ( Matthew 16:16)

The public ministry of Jesus Christ, as recorded in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, teaches us many truths. These include the coming of the Kingdom of God, the miracles of repentance and healing, profound love for God and neighbor, and a walk of humility, forgiveness, and perfect honesty. Through His death on the cross and resurrection, Christ atoned for our sins and granted us the grace to partake in eternal life.

But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name. (John 20:31)

May this chart be helpful for young people’s Bible study.

I used to think that today’s younger generation only saw Jesus Christ as a classic heroic figure displayed in churches. However, recent American surveys have revealed that while membership in religious organizations and church attendance rates are declining, more than half of teenagers have a strong interest in learning about Jesus Christ, and more than three out of four want to know at least a little about him. This is fantastic!
I was just thinking of making “The Second Coming of Jesus Christ” the theme of this blog, so I’m very pleased with these results.

The Bible says: “So Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.” (Hebrews 9:28)

It is also written that 40 days after his resurrection, Jesus Christ ascended to heaven from the Mount of Olives. The promise made at that time was, “This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.” (Acts 1:3-11)

Therefore, Jesus Christ will surely return in the near future.

Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, (Revelation 1:7)

Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. (Matthew24:30)

God is truth

He is the Rock, His work is perfect; For all His ways are justice, A God of truth and without injustice; Righteous and upright is He. (Deuteronomy 32:4)
Therefore, putting away lying, “ Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor,” (Ephesians 4:25) 
Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, But those who deal truthfully are His delight. (Proverbs 12:22)

Well, since the last good news, I have explained the message of “salvation” in seven blogs.

Please understand the Gospel message of the Bible, believe it to be true, and express your faith and trust in Jesus Christ for your salvation. “That whoever calls on the name of the Lord Shall be saved.(Acts 2:21).

God, thank you for your wonderful grace, forgiveness, and the gift of eternal life. I believe I am a sinner and that Jesus Christ died on the cross for the forgiveness of my sins. I believe that He was resurrected, proving eternal life, and I accept Him as my Savior. Please fill me with the power of the Holy Spirit. I pray in Jesus’ precious name. Amen

And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. 29My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand.(John 10:28-29)

In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory. (Ephetion 1:13-14)

What happens if I commit a sin after being saved?

After we receive salvation, our spirits are renewed, but we can still sin. If we do sin, we must admit our mistakes and humbly ask God for forgiveness.

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.(1 John 1:9)

True faith, which takes salvation seriously, naturally leads us to good works, but good works are not seen as a means to salvation but rather by the change of heart and actions that demonstrate the truth of our faith.

Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? (Romans6:1-2)
Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. 4 He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. (1 John 2:3-4)

Not only does the Holy Spirit convict people of sin and lead them to God, but He also guides prayer, helps them understand God’s Word, gives them wisdom, serves as a counselor and advocate in the lives of believers in Jesus Christ.

Is Jesus the only way to salvation?
