When I was younger I didn't really really take the bible to be true.... like true. It was more like I believed it because I was born into a Christian home. I was just going through the motions. Then in my 400 level in unilag, something happened to me. Hard to believe but true 100%. I was sleeping and one morning around 5:30am, I heard the words "...John 15:15". Immediately, I jumped up from my bed startled, I just knew that I heard the voice loud and clear and I was alone. I rushed to look for my bible to search what was written in John 15:15. Honestly, I almost cried, the words were so pertinent to my condition at the time. It was a difficult time in my life. It was then I realized that God knew the exact words in the bible because He inspired it. Friends the bible is real. I have had a similar experience several times after that. I just hear a specific scripture and when I check the bible it speaks exactly to my circumstance. Maybe God knew I was too intellectual (G...

Broadly speaking, within scripture the word ‘world’ means two things: 1. The World refers to the physically observable universe and its inhabitants. Psalm 24:1 The earth is the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. We see here that God loves the world, it says for “God so loved the world…”, yet another passage 1John 2:15 says, love not the world, neither the things that are in the world.

What is so special about him? some other prophet performed some miracles he performed too now Is Jesus God? Let me take you down the memory lane. The main reason God created us is for fellowship. Remember that the bible says he created us in HIS IMAGE. This is so that we (God and us) can communicate better. Do you know animals were not created in His image so they can not relate to God the way we would? Just as we have learned that sin causes separation. Adam and Eve's disobedience broke that relationship. God loves us but he doesn't not like sin. Between the fall of man and coming of Jesus, God tried to come up with plans on how to relate with us. He used the law- Like when you do this you get this. He used the prophets to communicate with people etc. In all, He still wanted the relationship.
