Repentance | How to have true repentance

Repentance includes the sorrow for sin and turning away from it. It is the idea of returning to God or turning away from evil. The question of how we can be made just with God has perplexed people throughout generations. For example, the multitude on the day of the Pentacost, after Peter’s sermon, were convicted of their sins and cried out “What shall we do?” (Acts 2:37). Peter’s response to them was, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy […]

Sin | Why do we need Salvation?

Sin is the transgression of the law of God (1 John 3:4). The book of Isaiah 66:3 also gives us a broader understanding of what sin is. It says…”They have chosen their own ways, and they delight in their abominations;” Here we find that; We have chosen our own way instead of God’s way. God has given us His perfect law but we have chosen to go against that. We delight in our abomination: An abomination is something that God hates. This means that by sinning we delight or find pleasure in what God hates Verse 4 continues; – “….Because, when I […]

God’s Plan for Man

God’s plan for man is very elaborate and has always existed since creation. God is not a God of disorder and confusion (1 Corinthians 14:33). Everything that He does is well planned out. Therefore we should expect that our existence is part of His plan. Do we really understand this plan of His for our lives? It is important that we do so that our lives can be full of purpose. He says in Jeremiah 29:11, ‘For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a […]

20 Inspiring and Uplifting Bible Verses about Faith

Faith is the victory that overcomes the world. As Christians, our safety in this world lies in ever-increasing reliance and trust in our Heavenly Father. He’s our sustainer, comforter, and provider. The challenges of this world can push us to the wall and cause us to doubt God’s love for us but we should hold up to our faith and believe that regardless of the situation God is still in control and cares deeply for us, His Children.

O wretched man that I am!

Being a Christian is hard unless we accept by faith the guidance of the Holy Spirit. We have the whole Trinity on our side as we fight the evil one. Our God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble (Psalms 46:1). Jesus, who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes we were healed (1 Peter 2:24), is also with us. The Holy Spirit is our comforter and is there to teach us and direct us into all truth. (John 16:13).

Our Identity in Christ

As we look at Christ as our perfect example we are to solely rely on His merits and guidance to go by each day. We can do all through the strength that He gives us. (Philippians 4:13). We are to avoid dwelling on past negative experiences, have a positive outlook on life, feel confident in ourselves, see our overall strengths and weaknesses, and accept them.

The LORD God our Father

…you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father “(Romans 8:15) I’ve seen my father cry twice. Both instances are relevant to this topic but I’ll just focus on one. I’m from a humble background and therefore my parents have sacrificed a lot to put food on the table, care for, protect and give us good education. This sacrifice, through the grace of God, and also the hard work of my youngest sister made her perform very well in her Kenya Certificate of Primary Education, KCPE, examinations. She became one of the top students in our home constituency, […]
