THE REAL MEANING OF LIFE

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/genesis/18.htm This is one of the more wonderful stories of the Bible. It does not explicitly say, but Abraham is resting in the shade when three men appeared, and immediately bows to the ground and calls one of them “Lord”. My interpretation is that it was Jesus, pre-incarnate, and two angels. And Abraham invites them to rest, wash their feed, and feast. He and Sarah prepared a calf, bread, butter, and milk, then sat and… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/genesis/17.htm This is the chapter in which God established what is called the “Abrahamic Covenant”. And God changed Abram’s name to Abraham, and instructed him that all males should be circumcised in the “flesh of their foreskin”. Many will argue that this covenant was no longer valid after Jesus created his covenant with the people, but I don’t know if that is accurate or not. I have a hard time determining the difference between the… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/genesis/16.htm This is a story about faith and how the lack of faith can have irreversible consequences for years, even millennia. Abram’s wife Sarai was barren, unable to have children. Other places in the Bible refer to it as “her womb was closed”, pertaining to any woman who was barren, and there were many back then. God said He would make Abraham a father of many, yet they wondered how this was possible since Sarai… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/genesis/15.htm According to Merriam Webster, a “covenant” is a “ a usually formal, solemn, and binding agreement”. There are many “covenants” in the Bible, the first if I’m not wrong is known as the Adamic Covenant, the covenant between God and Adam wherein God gave Adam the Garden of Eden to live and care for, and we know who broke that covenant. The covenant God gave to Abram, was that he would have children, and they… Continue reading

If you’ve just happened to stumble across this point, welcome. This is my next method of studying God’s Word. The first time I read the Bible, I simply read through it without much thought. The second time I read it, I actually studied the Bible, highlighting areas I felt important and taking notes in the header and columns. The third time I read the Bible, I used a computer software called e-Sword, a software that… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/genesis/13.htm Lot was Abram’s nephew, the son of his brother Haran, and Lot accompanied Abram on his trek to the land of Canaan. After Pharoah discovered that Sarai was indeed Abram’s wife, and basically kicked them out of Egypt, they all returned to Canaan to take up residence as the Lord had instructed. If you remember, they had left the land of Canaan because of a famine, and he went to Egypt to live. And… Continue reading

I do not mind confessing this at all, but I am so thankful to be finished, for now, with the Book of Job. As I said, I’ not a smart man and I find it extremely difficult to understand. And that is something you may face if you embark on a journey to study the Bible, a lack of understand. And it may be so daunting that you give up. I urge you not to… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/job/40.htm https://biblehub.com/nkjv/job/41.htm https://biblehub.com/nkjv/job/42.htm And we come to the end of the Book of Job, and I am still lost. Don’t get me wrong, I understand individual verses, but for the life of me I cannot make them fit in with the others. I pray that someday, I will read Job yet again, and understanding will come to me. But I don’t feel too awfully bad. because in Job 42: 3, Job says, Therefore I have… Continue reading

Many of us pray. Some pray for things like money, a new house,, a new car. Others prayer for those who are ill, or who need uplifted. Many pray simply to ask forgiven for their sins, while others pray to thank God for his blessing. And some pray simply over their meal, and at no other time. I try to pray a lot, to have conversations with God and to thank Him for all the… Continue reading

Was Job prideful. There are many things he said that leads me to that conclusion, but then again remember, I’m not a smart man and much of the Book of Job is confusing to me. I see places where Job thinks highly of himself, but others talk about what a good man he was, faithful to God. There are time I feel… Continue reading
