@ITkuma3 There’s a paradox of ascending… the closer you get to walking in the footsteps of Jesus the more weaknesses you discover :/
also !! In our weakness He is strong !! 2Corinthians 12:9-11
@ITkuma3 Be careful that you don't think "delighting in someting other than Jesus" is wrong. It may just be the way the words were translated, but there are other things it's good to delight in: work, friends, good food, and your wife's breasts. Proverbs 5:19.
@ITkuma3 All honor and glory belong to God.
I don't wish any glory or honor for myself
Because in my heart I don't deserve it.
God deserves it for giving me grace and mercy as a sinner
ちょっと興味深いと思ったのが、
read the Bible(聖書を読む)
とは日本語でもよく言うけど、英語では
live the Bible(聖書を生きる)
という言い方を使うんだね。
つまり、知識で終わることなく、
聖書が自分の生き方、価値観に浸透することが重要。
確かに、僕もそのように生きたいと思う。
@ITkuma3 Very true. I am reading through the Bible myself and my faith has become better because of it.
I don’t understand sum of it. But I have noticed some references Jesus makes towards the Old Testament while he was teaching.
@ITkuma3 A good Bible Study with friends and elders is also wonderful. I our church we do a 16 week discipleship training with believers and an elder of the church. It is wonderful.
@ITkuma3 Matthew 13:12 says that the more receptive you are to God's word, the more you'll understand. I have found that to be true. The more I read, the more I get it!
