MATTHEW 6:33 UNVEILED: THE CORE OF THE CHRISTIAN EXPERIENCE
You may ask, “How has Matthew 6 turned into a sermon of absolute reliance on our Lord Jesus? Where’s the Scripture?”

If you are interested in yourself, it is strange that you are disinterested in the assurance of your destiny after this life. Why not focus also on the eternal? Steve Jobs discovered this on his deathbed.
I wrote this book, “Born Again Christ’s Version,” to help the reader understand Christ’s teachings on gaining eternal life through faith in His promises. For me, we need to learn more about the born-again experience, which is the topic flooding the Internet.
This book, Christian Teachings Revisited, covers familiar but crucial and decisive topics such as the salvation of our souls and the future of the saved ones in Christ after the Millennium. I don’t expect those non-religious and atheists around to have a little interest in this paper but I considered them nevertheless in writing this book. Its subtitle reflects this commitment: “32 Christ-Uplifting Chapters for Both the Truth-Seekers and the Skeptics.” The skeptics and atheists are welcome to benefit or attack (as they please!) this material. What is important is that this humble author wrote this work with both the truth-seekers and atheists in his mind and heart. For Christ taught that “the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.” (Luke 19:10)
But since the birth of Christianity, the true followers of our Lord have experienced this Christian doctrine of Spirit-caused calmness of the soul. They wrote songs and hymns hundreds of years ago with the same lyrical subject of joy in the Lord, and churches have used them in their services until now.
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.
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.
