In the beginning, God created the heavens and earth in six days—light, sky, land, seas, plants, stars, animals, and Adam and Eve in His image. He called it good and rested on the seventh day. Humanity sinned, separating themselves from God. God promised a Savior.
Centuries later, Jesus Christ, God’s Son, was born. Fully divine and human, He preached God’s Kingdom, love, and forgiveness, performing miracles and healing many. Betrayed and crucified, Jesus died to pay for humanity’s sins. On the third day, He rose, defeating death. He ascended to heaven, promising to return and renew creation, granting eternal life to those who trust in Him
24 And the Lord’s servant[a] must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, 25 correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth, 26 and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will.
Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to deceive and devour. Be careful, It truly is a battle for man’s soul.
“Come follow me,” Jesus told them,“ and I will make you fishers of men.”
Jesus offers a captivating call, inviting them to “follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” He suggests their current activities are good, but there is a higher calling that can lead to true greatness. Jesus encourages them to impact lives, promising that if they bring Him the catch, they will witness transformed lives.
Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out.
Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to deceive and devour. Be careful, It truly is a battle for man’s soul.
