Is Quran Gods Word

View:

How to spread God's Word is a question that can be difficult sometimes if we don't have the true understanding of how we as Christians should go about it. Keep in mind what Paul said, ?I will not ?speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me.? Paul didn't place glory in what Christ had done for him, but in what Christ was doing through him. Now did you get the understanding of that?

Matthew 17:2-3 tells the story of the day that Jesus took his disciples to the top of the mountain where he was transfigured before them: ?His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him.? Peter was so caught up in this spectacular event that he wanted them all to stay there. In verse 4 of the same chapter he says ?Lord it is good for us to be here; if You wish, let us make here three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.?

As you read further into the chapter, you can see that Jesus thought it more important to continue ministering and spreading His Word. Verse 14 begins the story of the demon possessed boy who suffered severe seizures that Jesus healed. The message we can take from this story is that there are definitely rewarding experiences when following Jesus? teachings but you'll never reap those rewards if you don't put the work in and focus on the goal at hand, which is spreading the Word of God to everyone.

Now we all know, as followers of our Lord Jesus Christ that it is a great thing to have such a spectacular experience with our God and Father; but we also know that as followers of our Lord we can't stay there. We have a lot of work to do if we are going to follow in his footsteps, and we as Christians have been called to do it.

Now that we know our Lord works through us, we have become God's vessels by means of Paul's statement and it's time for us to open up our hearts and start spreading the word to others as those who approach us with God's word. Now that our lives were saved through Jesus Christ through the use of God's vessels we have become God's vessels. Now that we are God's vessels, is it not our duty to spread the word as those who approach us?

Take notice how Jesus? disciples followed him throughout his ministry and they all had a different point of view yet at the same time leading to God's message. Their story varied a little bit, but when you read all their stories, you'll discover that one story will help you to better understand the other. It is the same as when your reading passages in the Bible, one passage will help you to understand the other.

You see brothers and sisters, we are all unique individuals and we all have our own way of relating God's message. Since we are all unique in our own way, we are given a different point of view on scriptures. Now, because of our uniqueness, one individual will find passages that will lead to the understanding of another passage where another individual may be having a difficult time with that passage and that is where you come in.

The point I am trying to get across is this, we all have a knowledge of certain scriptures that can help others and at the same time others have knowledge of scriptures that can help us. Why is it like that? You will find that a lot of us have our special books in the Bible that we keep going back to over and over again and after a wile you start to specialize in that book. Because now you start focusing whenever you hear someone giving their point of view of scriptures that relate to that book, then in turn , you go back and check it out, therefore giving you a better understanding. Therefore, by us all working together this will lead us to the true understanding of Gods knowledge and help us to grow stronger in God's Word and at the same time we are showing others how to spread God's Word.

Now that we are doing our part in spreading the word and giving people a better understanding of Gods knowledge, we are helping them to grow stronger. This is because they can now see all the great and true benefits as a result of following our Lord Jesus Christ. As they keep growing stronger in God's knowledge by Christ working through us (God's vessels) it won't be long before they to will start spreading God's word (and this would be a good thing in God's eyes.)

Now let us look at this to get the full understanding of what we are accomplishing by taking our part in spreading the word.

1. By us doing our part in spreading the word and opening up our hearts and allowing Jesus Christ our lord and Savoir to work through us, there are a lot of lives being saved just as we have been saved.

2. Through us spreading out our knowledge that we specialize in, you never know who will come across it and cause them to do a farther investigation and at the same time the Holy Spirit is pressing down on them.

3. Doing what we are supposed to be doing through passing along what we have learned so that others may also have this golden opportunity.

4. By us doing our part in spreading the word, we are not only doing our part, we are also showing others how to spread Gods Word. Now stop and think for a moment and give this some serious thought. By us doing our part through showing others how to spread Gods word, if you use your imagination you will see how far this will branch out and it started from you.

What is imagination? Ability to visualize: the ability to form images and ideas in the mind, especially of things never seen or experienced directly. Does that sound familiar to you?

If it is in your heart to spread the word and you don't know how to spread God's Word and want to reach out to many, than give the internet some serious thought by using it as your vehicle. Blogging ,writing articles, start an email newsletter, build a Christian website, these are all good ways to get the word out. And the best part about using these tools is that you can find them on the internet for free to low cost.

Is Quran God's Word

Torah: Numbers Deut 29:10-30:20; Deut 31:1-31:30

Haftarah: Isaiah 61:10-63:9; 55:6-56:8

B'rit HaChadashah: Romans 10:1-12; 10:14-18

This week's parsha contains the last speech that is given by Moshe before his death. Within Sefer Devarim (book of Deuteronomy) Moshe has given four speeches. Moshe's last speech actually begins at the end of last week's parsha, Parashat Ki-Tavo. The locations of the 4 main speeches in Sefer Devarim are summarized in the following table if you are interested in going back and reviewing the sections of scripture.

CHAPTERS TOPIC

1. 1 through 4 Introductory speech (why 40 years have passed)

2. 5 through 26 The main speech: the "mitzvot" to keep in the land

3. 27 through 28 Brit Har Eival and the Tochacha (....., admonition)

4. 29 through 30 The final speech .. Parshat Nitzavim

In Moshe's final speech he is warning us to obey God. The significance of Moshe's last speech I feel deals with choice and our emotions. The choices we make each day are usually based upon our emotions. I think most everyone would agree because life wouldn't be life if we did not act upon our emotions and feelings. How we respond to others, loving and taking care of our pets, etc. all play an active and important part of life, even our spiritual journey by choosing to walk with God or not to walk with God. In this study however I want to discuss our emotions and anger. Let's explore this a little further but first lets read a short section of verses from Moshe's speech.

Deuteronomy 30:9-16

bring it to us and make us hear it, so that we can obey it?' 30:14 On the contrary, the word is very close to you - in your mouth, even in your heart; therefore, you can do it! 30:15 "Look I am presenting you today with, on the one hand, life and good; and on the other, death and evil - 30:16 in that I am ordering you today to love ADONAI your God, to follow his ways, and to obey his mitzvot, regulations and rulings ; for if you do, you will live and increase your numbers; and ADONAI your God will bless you in the land you are entering in order to take possession of it.

According to Moshe we have to make the decision to follow God's way and obey his mitzvot. Moshe tells us what would happen if we choose to follow God's way, God will bless us in all that we do. However, it is possible that our emotions can lead us away from the right choices. Sometimes our emotions can get in the way of what we know in our heart is right to do.

We have to force our emotions to fit to God's Word

As a result this requires us to take our emotions and force them to fit with God's word. Let me explain with an example on swearing. When we get angry it is easy to swear whether it is at a particular person or inanimate object. But we have to ask why does a person swear? I feel it is because swearing makes one feel good. The root of the feeling is centered upon how best one can put down someone verbally, it is a pride issue. This becomes evident when one begins to fabricate new more foul sentences, the fouler the better (shock value). When we live from our emotions we naturally choose to hurt people in order to make ourselves look and feel better. The problem arises when we know in our heart what we are doing, or saying is wrong yet for some reason it seems we can't resist or we too quickly spout the verbal obscenities before thinking. In this instance, one has to force themselves to stop swearing; it takes a conscious decision to stop, along with prayer and seeking the Lord in his Holy word.

So what is the conclusion we can make here? We have to ?DO? the Word because our emotions have a tendency to take us in the direction we do not want to go. Our emotions will cause us to say ?I don't feel like it? for example (i) I don't feel like praying, (ii) I don't feel like reading and studying God's Holy word, (iii) I don't feel like going and spending time with a friend who needs a listening ear (iv) I don't feel like being nice to those persons who hurt me. These emotional responses are examples where emotions not only have a tendency to drive and direct our lives, they also draw us farther away from God and create a division between you and your friends. We have to decide today to proactively take action to force our emotions to fit along side of God's Word. We do this by ?DOING? what the Word says not based upon how we feel at the moment. When we begin to DO then we will reap the reward, we will bring in a harvest of God's blessing on our lives like it says in this week's parsha the Lord will bless everything that you do by obeying God's mitzvot.

There are two goals or aims which I believe the Torah is designed for (i) the Torah is designed to condition our hearts so that we can have a right relationship with God. Conditioning our heart deals specifically with our emotions for example God uses our emotions to convict us of sin which leads to repentance. Taking the word of God and place it upon our hearts so we can be more consistent in our walk with God. (ii) To point to God's messiah. Interestingly enough the reading from the b'rit hachadashah for this week is from Romans chapter 10 the apostle Shaul (Paul) ties together this aim of the Torah.

Romans10:1-18

According to scripture, God's ultimate desire is to (i) redeem the nations, (ii) set up and establish for Himself a Holy people Israel, and (iii) finally to live intimately with his people as Father God. This is achieved by the Lord working in our hearts, and our emotions through his Holy Spirit. The life that God expects of us is a life of cleaving to God and oneness with the Father. It consists of a life of obedience which by its very nature is a choice, something we DO. We choose to obey his mitzvot, walk in obedience or choose to live our lives by turning away from Him and walk in the vanity of our own hearts. God providing a way for our salvation in His Messiah is also a choice, one which enables us to enjoy the blessing by the power of his spirit so that we can have a real, living, happy, and joyous relationship with the Lord God as one people in the faith.

The apostle Shaul said ADONAI is the same for everyone and rich toward everyone who calls on him. Trust in God comes from the heart, and we demonstrate that trust by the actions we take, and the words we say. If God desires a relationship with us, and if our heart is the meeting place for our relationship with God and God has revealed this to us in his Holy Word, why wait any longer to come into the blessing God has for you today. Believe upon his Messiah Yeshua, and be blessed!

Be Blessed in Yeshua the Messiah Jesus Christ.
