"Honor and love one another"

Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another. Romans 12:10

Today's verse mentions the values of a Christ follower. In this world, people often fail to value each other, displaying traits of selfishness, pride, and the tendency to hurt others with their actions and behaviors. The word of God emphasizes the importance of being kind and loving toward one another while also urging us to honor each other above ourselves. The story of Ruth and Naomi in the Bible serves as a perfect reminder of the virtues of selflessness, respect, and love. By abiding in Christ's love, we, too, can honor and love one another with His sacrificial love. In 1 Peter 2:17, Apostle Peter says, "Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king."


சகோதர சிநேகத்திலே ஒருவர்மேலொருவர் பட்சமாயிருங்கள்; கனம்பண்ணுகிறதிலே ஒருவருக்கொருவர் முந்திக்கொள்ளுங்கள். ரோமர் 12:10

.

இன்றைய வசனம் கிறிஸ்துவைப் பின்பற்றுபவரின் மதிப்புகளைக் குறிப்பிடுகிறது. இந்த உலகில், மக்கள் பெரும்பாலும் ஒருவரையொருவர் மதிக்கத் தவறிவிடுகிறார்கள், சுயநலம், பெருமை, மற்றும் அவர்களின் செயல்கள் மற்றும் நடத்தைகளால் மற்றவர்களைப் புண்படுத்தும் போக்கு ஆகியவற்றைக் காட்டுகிறார்கள். தேவனின் வார்த்தை ஒருவருக்கொருவர் இரக்கமாகவும் அன்பாகவும் இருப்பதன் முக்கியத்துவத்தை வலியுறுத்துகிறது. பரிசுத்த வேதாகமத்தில் உள்ள ரூத் மற்றும் நகோமியின் சரித்திரம், தன்னலமற்ற தன்மை, மரியாதை மற்றும் அன்பு, நற்பண்புகளின் சரியான நினைவூட்டலாக செயல்படுகிறது. கிறிஸ்துவின் அன்பில் நிலைத்திருப்பதன் மூலம், நாமும் அவருடைய தியாக அன்பினால் ஒருவரையொருவர் மதிக்கவும் நேசிக்கவும் முடியும். 1 பேதுரு 2:17 -ல், அப்போஸ்தலனாகிய பேதுரு, “எல்லாரையும் கனம்பண்ணுங்கள்; சகோதரரிடத்தில் அன்புகூருங்கள்; தேவனுக்குப் பயந்திருங்கள்; ராஜாவைக் கனம்பண்ணுங்கள்.” என்று கூறுகிறார்.

"Honor the Lord"

Image
Honor the  Lord  with your possessions,  And with the firstfruits of all your increase. Proverbs 3:9 God has blessed us with good wealth and health. It is important to honor God with our possessions. We are expected to give God the best and the first of everything that we possess, including our finances. Worshiping the Lord, spending time with Him, and sharing the Gospel are just a few other ways we can honor our God. Let us say with King David, "Sing out the honor of His name; Make His praise glorious." உன் பொருளாலும், உன் எல்லா விளைவின் முதற்பலனாலும் கர்த்தரைக் கனம்பண்ணு.  நீதிமொழிகள் 3:9 கடவுள் நமக்கு நல்ல செல்வத்தையும் ஆரோக்கியத்தையும் கொடுத்து ஆசீர்வதித்துள்ளார்.  நம்முடைய உடைமைகளால் கடவுளை கனம் பண்ணவேண்டியது முக்கியம்.  நமது நிதி உட்பட நம்மிடம் உள்ள எல்லாவற்றிலும் சிறந்ததையும் முதன்மையானதையும் கடவுளுக்கு கொடுக்க வேண்டும் என்று எதிர்பார்க்கப்படுகிறோம்.  தேவனுக்கு  ஆராதனைசெய்து, அவருடன் நேரத்தைச் செலவிடுவது, நற்செய்தியைப் பகிர்ந்துகொள்வது ஆகிய...

"Jesus forgives, expects us likewise."

Image
Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do. Luke 23:34. This is one of the seven words spoken by Jesus while He was being crucified. Jesus is asking God to forgive those who were actually responsible for putting Him on the cross — the Jewish leaders, the Roman soldiers, and the crowd that was mocking Him. But His forgiveness is also for every person for whom He died, including you and me. This demonstrates His heart of compassion and unconditional love. Now, He also expects us to forgive others as He forgave us and to pray for others as He prayed for us.  Matthew 6:14 says, "For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you." பிதாவே, இவர்களுக்கு மன்னியும், தாங்கள் செய்கிறது இன்னதென்று அறியாதிருக்கிறார்களே. லூக்கா 23:34. இயேசு சிலுவையில் அறையப்பட்டபோது பேசிய ஏழு வார்த்தைகளில் இதுவும் ஒன்று. தம்மை சிலுவையில் அறைந்ததற்கு உண்மையில் காரணமான— யூத தலைவர்கள், ரோமானிய வீரர்கள், மற்றும் தன்னை கேலி செய்யும் கூட்டத்தை மன்னிக்கும்படி இயேசு பி...

Blog # 358 - "Trust in God's unchanging power"

Image
Who delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver us; in whom we trust that He will still deliver us. 2 Corinthians 1:10. The Apostle Paul praises God for His power that delivered His children from death and dangers in the past, continues to do so in the present, and will do so forever. God is all-powerful. He is omnipotent. He is our deliverer and redeemer. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. When all human hope and help fail, He is there to assist when we call upon His name. There is no one else like Him to give us hope when all doors are closed. We need to be thankful to Him for the past miracles so that we can witness future ones. Even today, He is ready to help us if we place our trust in Him, especially in times of trouble. Do you trust in God's power to deliver and help you in times of trouble, just as He has done in the past? Psalm 18:2 says: "The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield a...

Be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. James 1:22. Apostle James emphasizes the need to act on what we hear. He warns that we deceive ourselves if we think we can be hearers only and not doers of the Word. Those who sincerely love God are the ones who keep His commands. God desires that those who hear His Word become authentic followers of Jesus—disciples who obey the Lord’s teachings out of love for their Heavenly Father. Jesus also gave a stern warning to those who hear God's words but fail to act on them in Matthew 7:21,  "Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven."  As faith without works is dead, merely hearing God's Word without putting it into practice also deadens our spiritual life. The cleansing and justifying power of God's Word is experienced only when we live according to it. Are you living as both a hearer and doer of God's Word...

Blog # Y2 002 - "Choose God's Will Over the World"

Image
And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever. 1 John 2:17. There is a clear contrast between the two statements in this verse. Those who follow God's will live forever, while those who chase temporary worldly things will lose their life. The believers who please the world will lose their reward. The choice before us is whether to do God's will or satisfy our fleshly desires. When we accept Jesus as our Savior, we are called to follow His words and live with the mind of Christ, striving to do His will. However, if after receiving salvation we fall into worldly temptations—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—we will not enter into heaven. Many of us desire to do God's will, but are not willing to sacrifice what is necessary to please Him. Are you willing to sacrifice worldly desires in order to follow God's will and receive eternal life? Romans 12:2 says: "And do not be conformed to...

For the  Lord   is  good;  His mercy  is  everlasting,  And His truth  endures  to all generations. Psalm 100:5  Here, David is thanking and praising God for three reasons. First, he speaks of the goodness of God; secondly, he mentions God's everlasting mercy, and thirdly, he emphasizes that God's truth extends to all generations. David expresses God's goodness with the words, "The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord." The Bible story of the prodigal son serves as a powerful representation of God's love, mercy, and faithfulness towards us as His children. God loved us unconditionally even when we were sinners, and He gave His life for us. Jesus is the truth that abides in us and will be with us forever. Let us join the Psalmist in praising Him, saying, "For His merciful kindness is great toward us, and the truth of the Lord endures forever. Praise the Lord!"   கர்த்தர் நல்லவர், அவருடைய கிருபை என்றென்றைக்கும், அவருடைய உண்மை தலை...

Blog # 365 - "Trusting in God's Compassion and Care"

Image
For the Lord hears the poor, And does not despise His prisoners. Psalm 69:33. This scripture describes the nature of our God as a compassionate God who cares for the poor and the oppressed. In this verse, the "poor" represent those who are economically and socially in need, while the "prisoners" symbolize those who are physically or emotionally captive. The Psalms frequently mention God’s concern for the suffering people in the world. Despite his suffering and rejection, King David maintains faith that God is not indifferent to his pain. He trusts in God's righteous character and finds comfort during hardship. This reminds us that God’s love and care reach everyone, especially those who are vulnerable and in need. It encourages us to trust in God’s compassion and to seek His help in times of trouble. Are you calling out to God or to man when you are in trouble? Psalm 22:24 says: "For He has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; Nor h...
