Experiencing God. Have you experienced God? Yes, of course. But have you experienced the God of the Bible? Don’t be offended if you are anti-Scripture.

Experiencing God. Have you experienced God? Yes, of course. But have you experienced the God of the Bible? Don’t be offended if you are anti-Scripture.
This is the lesson I learned. Never depend on your preacher (or Christian books) for your Christianity. He might preach his questionable theology instead of Christ.
Abraham’s faith is a powerful example of the superiority of trusting in God over relying on human wisdom alone.
The real meaning of life lies in its perpetual nature—its permanence and everlastingness. Christ came to prove our bodies’ resurrection after death. Both our souls and bodies were created to last forever. Life, therefore, is not pleasure, achievement, fame, travel, good health, longevity, or other similar matters we experience since all these will pass away.
For this reason, Christ came to die for our sins to redeem us. But He desired us to believe and trust in His finished work at Calvary. Therefore, finding happiness in life is only possible with our Lord’s pardon for our sins, since our transgressions have always perturbed our consciences, thus affecting our inner peace with God.
Death is just behind us, and the attitude of moving forward in life with confidence would fall apart as quickly as the eyes of death stare at us assertively and break down the last standing sentinel of our self-confidence. We can only move forward positively in life if we have faith and confidence that God will never leave us.
Your life runs on a guiding principle that you may not be interested in fixing or discarding altogether. Life is God-given, and He alone can beautify it. Proverbs 14:12 says: “There is a way which seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.” “There is a way” or Guiding Principle that is essential to the joyous fulfillment of our life journey. This 277-page book, “Overcoming Adversities by the Power of God,” seeks to give the reader the wisdom to understand life’s circumstances and ordeals and how to beat our sufferings with the wisdom of the Good Book.
