"Blog Y2 028 - Children of God Through His Mercy"

For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:26.

It is the mercy of God that has marked us as children of God through faith in Christ. Romans 8:14 says, "For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God." Through faith in Christ, we receive forgiveness for our sins and full adoption, becoming sons and daughters of God. See what kind of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God, and so we are. Our privileged position in Christ is based solely on God's grace, not our worth or merit. While we were still sinners, Christ died for us, giving all who believe in Him the right to become sons of God. Do you recognize the mercy of God that allows you to be called a child of God through faith in Christ? John 1:12 says: "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name."

நீங்களெல்லாரும் கிறிஸ்து இயேசுவைப்பற்றும் விசுவாசத்தினால் தேவனுடைய புத்திரராயிருக்கிறீர்களே. கலாத்தியர் 3:26.

கிறிஸ்துவை விசுவாசிப்பதன் மூலம் தேவனுடைய பிள்ளைகளாக நம்மை அடையாளப்படுத்தியது தேவனுடைய இரக்கமே. ரோமர் 8:14 கூறுகிறது, "எவர்கள் தேவனுடைய ஆவியினாலே நடத்தப்படுகிறார்களோ, அவர்கள் தேவனுடைய புத்திரராயிருக்கிறார்கள்." கிறிஸ்துவை விசுவாசிப்பதன் மூலம், நாம் நம்முடைய பாவங்களுக்கான மன்னிப்பையும், முழு புத்திர சுவீகாரத்தையும்  பெற்று, தேவனுடைய குமாரர்களாகவும் குமாரத்திகளாகவும் மாறுகிறோம். நாம் தேவனுடைய பிள்ளைகளென்று அழைக்கப்படுவதினாலே பிதாவானவர் நமக்குப் பாராட்டின அன்பு எவ்வளவு பெரிதென்று பாருங்கள், அப்படியே பிள்ளைகளாக இருக்கிறோம். கிறிஸ்துவுக்குள் நமது சிறப்புரிமை தேவனின் சுத்த கிருபையை அடிப்படையாகக் கொண்டது, நமது மதிப்பு அல்லது தகுதி அல்ல. நாம் பாவிகளாக இருக்கும்போதே, கிறிஸ்து நமக்காக மரித்தார், அவரை விசுவாசிக்கிற அனைவருக்கும் தேவனுடைய குமாரர்களாகும் உரிமையைக் கொடுத்தார். கிறிஸ்துவை விசுவாசிப்பதன் மூலம் தேவனுடைய பிள்ளையாக அழைக்கப்படுவதற்கு தேவன் அளித்த கிருபையை உணருகிறீர்களா? யோவான் 1:12 சொல்லுகிறது: “அவருடைய நாமத்தின்மேல் விசுவாசமுள்ளவர்களாய் அவரை ஏற்றுக்கொண்டவர்கள் எத்தனைபேர்களோ, அத்தனைபேர்களும் தேவனுடைய பிள்ளைகளாகும்படி, அவர்களுக்கு அதிகாரங்கொடுத்தார்.”

"Blog Y2 086 - Calm Words, Peaceful Hearts"

Image
A soft answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger. Proverbs 15:1. King Solomon gives wise advice on handling anger. A gentle answer can calm a tense situation, while harsh words only make things worse. The word "wrath" here refers to intense anger that can lead to conflict. When we’re insulted or upset, it’s easy to respond with more anger, but this only fuels the fire. Instead, responding calmly and kindly can help defuse the situation. A gentle response shows wisdom, self-control, and care for the other person, reducing tension and preventing further conflict. When faced with anger or insult, how can you respond with gentleness and wisdom to show love and defuse the situation instead of fueling conflict? Romans 12:21 says, "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." மெதுவான பிரதியுத்தரம் உக்கிரத்தை மாற்றும்; கடுஞ்சொற்களோ கோபத்தை எழுப்பும். நீதிமொழிகள் 15:1. சாலோமோன் ராஜா கோபத்தை எப்படி கையாள்வது என்பதைப் பற்றிய புத்திசாலித்தனமான ஆலோசன...

"Blog Y2 450 - Fear God, Find Life"

  The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, To turn one away from the snares of death. Proverbs 14:27. This verse highlights the importance of fearing the Lord, showing that reverence for God brings life, protection, and wisdom. It reminds us that honoring God leads to a purposeful, fulfilling life, keeping us safe from spiritual destruction. The "fear of the Lord" is like a life-giving fountain, providing spiritual nourishment, joy, and purpose. It helps believers grow in their relationship with God, bringing wisdom and understanding.

Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. Matthew 7:12. This verse, is known as the "Golden Rule," contains the teachings of Jesus Christ in a simple yet profound manner. This verse is certainly a guiding principle for Christians, and should influence our attitudes and motives as well as our seen and unseen actions. It should be a life-principle that impacts every area of life and should be exercised on all with whom we come in contact. Jesus also emphasizes that this rule reflects the teachings of the entire Old Testament, showing its foundational role in God's law. This verse contains the core Christian values like love, compassion, and justice, offering a simple yet powerful guide.

"Blog Y2 020 - True Repentance Comes from the Heart"

Image
So rend your heart, and not your garments; Return to the Lord your God, For He is gracious and merciful, Slow to anger, and of great kindness; And He relents from doing harm. Joel 2:13. This verse emphasizes that we should repent before the Lord with our hearts, not just through outward actions like tearing clothes as in the Old Testament days. He reminds us that God is gracious, merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in kindness. God is near to the brokenhearted and those with a contrite spirit. Too often, people speak of repentance but fail to take any real action. God warns against those who appear perfect outwardly but lack inner transformation. When we come to Him with a truly broken heart, God delights in renewing, changing, restoring, redeeming, saving, and transforming us. He is pleased when we turn from our sins with fasting, weeping, and mourning. Are you seeking God with a heart willing to change? Psalm 34:18 says: "The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, And...

Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. Matthew 6:34. Today's verse reminds us that God is sovereign and in control of our lives, and we can trust in His provision and care for us. It is part of a passage where Jesus Christ teaches His disciples about the importance of focusing on God's kingdom and not being anxious about earthly concerns. The passage addresses the issue of worry and anxiety, which is a common struggle for many people. Jesus encourages His followers to stop worrying about the future. He advises them to live in the present moment and trust that God will provide for their needs. The phrase "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow” is a reminder to surrender our worries and concerns to God and focus on living a life of faith and obedience in the present. Jesus emphasizes that worrying about the future is fruitless, as it does not add anything to our lives. Are you trusting God to take...

Blog # 355 - "Praise God for His Spiritual Blessings"

Image
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, Ephesians 1:3. This verse explains why and how we should praise God for every spiritual blessing. We thank and praise God for sending His only Son, Jesus Christ, to die for our sins and to grant us eternal life. Our loving Father is full of grace, kindness, forgiveness, redemption, salvation, freedom, wisdom, and understanding. Through Jesus Christ, His Son, He shares these riches with us. This is the spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ. Now, let us consider how to praise Him. After recognizing who He is, we should search our hearts and keep ourselves pure and clean before our Holy God. We must worship Him with all our heart, mind, and strength, offering joyful songs. He expects us to worship Him in spirit and in truth. How are you praising and worshipping God for His spiritual blessings in your life?  Psalm 29:2 says: “Give un...

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...
