** Truth and Power ...** | ** Truth and Power ...** | ||
+ | The bible is a book full of truth. It is a book full of wisdom. There are many layers of this book - from | ||
+ | its historical contents to the parables, it includes ethics and wisdom. All of it is important. Its goal, | ||
+ | with all of its parts, is to bring us into a relationship with the Lord, to make us to disciples, | ||
+ | parts of his community, to restore the relationship between mankind and God, on an individual basis, | ||
+ | one by one, by faith and trust! | ||
+ | The truth of the biblical books can be found and experienced on many levels. It can be found by digging into | ||
+ | history. It can be found by research, by modern tools and archeaology. It can also be found on the conceptual | ||
+ | level: its insight into what man and women are. Its descriptions of guilt and reconciliation. It is just | ||
+ | the most realistic view into the history of mankind you can have. | ||
- | + | It can also experienced by the power of the holy spirit, when you come to faith and let God enter your | |
+ | life through the holy spirit. It is a spirit of power - not the physical power of cannons and the sword, but | ||
+ | the power of love, peace and forgiveness, | ||
+ | to come into our hearts, and give us a personal freedom beyond our wildest dreams. | ||
