But as for you, brethren, do not grow weary in doing good. -- 2 Thessalonians 3:13 Sometimes life feels like a never-ending slog to the finish line. Other times we feel like we’re careening forward at a pace sure to end in an insurance deductible. Both drain us physically, emotionally,...

Could Jesus Save Himself? If Jesus had been the Messiah as he had claimed to be, he wouldn’t have ended up on the cross. And if he was going to save others, the first thing he had to do was obviously save himself. The crowd was mocking Jesus because he had disappointed them. The crowd never forgave him for this.

This verse powerfully emphasizes the security and confidence found in God's protection. It reassures believers that with the Lord as their light and salvation, there is no need for fear. It encourages trust in God's unwavering strength and guidance.
The question "Why does God allow suffering?" presupposes that God is in control of everything which happens in our world today.

The assurance and security of the believer are essential to understand, and there are widely varying theological positions on the issue. But the assurance of our salvation provides the foundation and stability to our lives, removing doubt and uncertainty and deepening our faith and trust in the Lord

Jesus exclaimed, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!” This statement shook the disciples to their core. The issue for the disciples wasn’t so much that they were concerned about the salvation of others. They were concerned for themselves. They just saw a man who seemed to meet all the requirements for heaven, according to their religion, be turned away by Jesus. He apparently kept the commandments, and he was rich. The way that they understood it, to be rich meant that God approved of you and that’s why he blessed you.

A man ran up to Jesus, and he fell on his knees before him. And what he said to Jesus was revealing. He said, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life.” It’s a good question, but it’s wrongly phrased. It contains some false assumptions – assumptions that we often make too – and Jesus is about to unpack them for him. The first wrong assumption that this man made was that anyone could be good. Of course, Jesus wasn’t a mere man, but this young man didn’t know that. He considered himself good, so he thought that Jesus must be good as well. So, Jesus quoted Scripture to him to challenge him, reminding him that no one is good except God alone. There’s a double whammy in that, because he was in fact God himself.
