KNOWING YOUR BIBLE
March 20, 2022: Dear Friends, We are now entering the fourth week of Lent. Please go to the last 3 blogs to read and study what Lent is and specific actions that are important to do during the Lenton season. During the previous 3 weeks, the discussions about Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, have focused on Jesus’ humanity, his humanness as a human being, and on his teachings that he left us that are written in the Gospel Books of the Bible, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, for us to follow in our lives. Go to the last 3 blogs as well as other blogs by going to keeganbooks.com to study and contemplate on who Jesus is and what he stands for, for us.
In this week’s discussion the focus will be on specific Bible verses that allow us to understand what Jesus’ teachings are about. Every Bible verse is important, but Bible verses that are written on Jesus are the most important to read and learn about him. For it is Jesus, who is our Lord and Savior, that saves us from our sins and guides us through a Christ -like life that is meant for believers and followers of Jesus to follow. In Matthew, chapter 1, verse 21, it is written: “She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” Those that believe in Jesus and follow his teachings will not sin or want to sin, and this will save them from sinning as written above.
Bible verses will be listed below that provide Jesus’ teachings that can be studied for personal insight into the meaning and purpose of what is being written. There are many more than a hundred teachings in the gospels, too many to list all the scriptures on teaching due to limited space. The follower might independently search the gospels for Jesus’ teachings. Also consider reading one of the gospel books during this Lenton Season as part of personally participating in Lent. And remember, the more one reads and study’s the life of Jesus, the nearer and closer one will become to him. This is the whole purpose of this blog, to form a deep, committed relationship to Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. All verses are from the New Revised Standard (NRS) version of the Bible.
MAY GOD BLESS YOUR BIBLE STUDY THIS WEEK!
