FAITH CAPSULE: Strive more to know God more than ever.
1 Timothy 6
What kind of a believer are you?
In the new month, week, or this day, strive to know God by engaging the word of God.
One who does not know the word of God will not live for God to answer as a believer.
Upgrade knowing God to live by the word of God.
One impressing the world is not evidence such as a believer.
Speaking in one tongue is not enough to be counted as living by the word of God.
Answering as a believer is not evidence of one who lives by the word of God.
Answering as a believer and not living by the word of God is the same as acclaimed Christians and not living as Christ-like.
Acts 11:26 made all know the disciples were called Christians first at Antioch.
Many know about God but do not know God.
Are you a believer living by the way of God, seeking God by the way of God, not by your way?
A believer who seeks God diligently will find God.
One who does not know God has no faith to live for God.
Knowing God is knowing the word of God, the source of having faith
The opposite of Good faith is bad faith.
Good faith will be hearing and hearing the word of God, the source of faith, to do what is right and good before God.
Bad faith is not hearing the word of God, not living for God, but living a life of wickedness.
1 Timothy 6:12 admonishes those who will hear and take to the word of God, “Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.”
Strive to have the good fight of faith, not to miss eternal life.
No one should wait until time to pack for eternal life to find out the importance of fighting a good fight.
In the new month, week, or this day, strive to know God by engaging the word of God.
Live life as one who knows God.
Pray to fight a good fight of faith.
Search to answer the kind of believer you are before God.
Through the word is to be identified as living by the word of God.
The word of God is not a story but a secret.
Psalm 91:1 buttresses, “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.”
Seek God diligently to find Him in His word.
Give yourself to study the word more than reading.
There is power in the word of God.
The devil approached Jesus with temptation, but the word of God delivered Him. (Matthew 4:1-7)
What kind of a believer are you?
The word of God is irrelevant and does not count for unbelieving believers.
To carry the word of God in the heart is power, unlike in the mouth.
Prayer for today: Pray to live by the word of God, the character of giving self to the word of God.
