We are hearing and reading different messages.

“Believe in yourself,” I read some time ago on the upper garment of a person while visiting the New Lynn library in Auckland.

Being a reader of the Bible the beginning of a verse from the Bible came straight away to my mind, namely “‘Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, …'”

If you believe in yourself, you are not getting very far, but if you believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, you will be saved. You read that in the Bible in the New Testament, in the book called Acts, chapter 16, verse 31.

This is what it says in Acts 16:31: “They replied, ‘Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved – you and your household.'” (NIV)

“love the world you live in,” is another message I saw written also some time ago in Auckland.

The Bible says, “Do not love the world or anything in the world.” (1 John 2:15)

Are you listening to the messages of the humanists or other messages that are contradicting the Scriptures or are you listening to what the Word of God says?

I am listening to what the Bible teaches. I hope you do too.
