THE BIBLE

Hello family and friends. Today I want to tell you that the Bible is the best book in the world, the most true, the most translated into thousands of languages, the wisest, the most delightful and perfect, and the most wholesome. Why? Because it was inspired and given by the Holy Spirit, because it also brings life, creates faith, produces change, works miracles, heals wounds, builds up character, transforms circumstances, imparts joy, overcomes adversity, defeats temptation, instills hope, releases power, cleanses our minds, defeats the devil, and guarantees our future forever. So I advise you to read Joshua 1:8 many times: “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.” Do not forget that the Bible has also been the most persecuted and mistreated book of all time, so much so that many countries around the world have built bonfires of Bibles and yet they have not been able to destroy it. Why? Because those who oppose God are lost in their ignorance, and they fail to realize that God is the Almighty, King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Please keep this in mind: Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ, recognized that we need a Savior. Muhammad did not even know the purpose of life, and Buddha told his followers to seek the truth. Confucius acknowledged and said that he was not the way. But Jesus said: “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me” (John 14:6). Did you know that we are living in very difficult times, but if we enter the presence of the Lord with heartfelt praise, He will enter our circumstances with power. This generation must be made to know and understand that Jesus Christ is the truth and the life, and that if they wish to understand much more, they must turn to the Holy Bible, which is the Book of books. Do not let the problems of life consume you so much that you only talk about them; rather, let us rise up focused on the promises of God and say like the prophet David: I am cast down, but You are my rock; I have nothing, but You are my provider; I feel sad, but You are my Comforter, because You are my Fortress, my Rock; You are the One who makes a way and fights my battles; You defend me from my enemies; You are my shepherd and I shall not want, because You have been my refuge and the wiper of my tears, because You have been my ransom and my portion forever. I ask You for a heart vast enough to love the whole world.

With love,

 IS SALVATION EASY OR DIFFICULT?

Dear brother, today I want to speak to you about this matter found in the Word of God, for only the Word of God can tell us whether salvation is easy or difficult. How do we interpret the Word of God? When you read it, you will find that salvation seems exceedingly easy, just as it is expressed in the Bible in the Book of Acts, chapter 2, verse 21: "And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved." And also in chapter 4, verse 12, it says: "And there is no salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we can be saved." However, we also find passages that show it is not quite so easy, such as the Epistle of James, chapter 2, verse 9, which warns us: "But if you show partiality, you commit sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors." And in chapter 2, verses 17 and 18, it says: "Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. But someone will say, 'You have faith, and I have works.' Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works." I would venture to give you this advice: let us surrender our whole hearts to the Lord. Perhaps He will not hold against us those doubts we may have due to a lack of knowledge of God, as long as they do not stem from malice. For the Word of God cannot be taken verse by verse in isolation; rather, we must consider the entirety of the Word of God within its broader context. Therefore, the true assurance of our salvation is this: let us go with Jesus Christ, for He has bought us at the price of His shed blood so that we may share in His glory. Blessed be the Savior.
