The first lesson was about spirituality and faith. Faith is something we need daily. It is believing in something despite seeing or touching it. Matthew 17:20 says that even if we have faith like a grain of a mustard seed, we can move mountains, and nothing will be impossible for us. The next lesson was about God’s love for man. Nature gives us evidence of the precision and creative hand of God. The greatest revelation of God’s love is when He let His Son come to the earth and die for humans. Satan keeps on trying to misrepresent God to us. Satan wants us to view God as someone who is a severe judge that has a jealous eye to discern our errors and mistakes. But Jesus came to the world, lived among men, and represented the true love of God. He even took man’s nature so He can also experience what we humans experience, like temptation and wants. Jesus never sinned, He was always filled with love, and even the children loved to be close to Him. Jesus was always thoughtful and never rude; He never gave pain to a single soul and always spoke the truth. Jesus was willing to be the man of sorrows so we can be partakers of everlasting joy. However, Jesus was still burdened with the separation from God until it broke Him into tears, yet He still died on the cross in our place. He is our Sacrifice, our Advocate, our Brother, bearing our human form before the Father's throne, and through eternal ages one with the race He has redeemed--the Son of man. And all this that man might be uplifted from the ruin and degradation of sin that he might reflect the love of God and share the joy of holiness.? The next lesson was about the sinner’s need for Christ. No doubt, we will always need Christ in our lives. Without Christ, sin will affect our minds. We need Christ, but knowing Him is not enough. Knowing about God is not enough if we don’t put our words into action. We talk about reflecting the character of God in our lives, but do we actually do? James 2:17 says that “In the same way, faith by itself if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.” The next lesson about Confession has thought me that if we confess and forsake our sins, we shall have mercy. We need to humble our souls before God in acknowledging our guilt. The only reason why we do not have remission of sins that are past is that we are not willing to humble our hearts and comply with the conditions of the word of truth. Confession should be heartfelt and freely expressed. It should not be urged or forced or done in a careless way without realizing the sense of the abhorrent character of sin. The next lesson about Consecration has thought me that in every moment of our lives we have been partakers of the blessings of His grace, and for this very reason, we cannot fully realize the depths of ignorance and misery from which we have been saved. Then, the lesson about Faith and Acceptance has thought me that Jesus loves to have us come to Him just as we are, sinful, helpless, and dependent. We may come with all our weakness, our folly, our sinfulness, and fall at His feet in penitence. Strength and grace have been provided through Christ to be brought by ministering angels to every believing soul. ? As we draw near to God with confession and repentance, He will draw near to us with mercy and forgiveness.? The next lesson is about the test of discipleship. The spirit of God works in a person’s life Like the wind, which is invisible, yet the effects of which are plainly seen and felt are the Spirit of God in its work upon the human heart. -that regenerating power, which no human eye can see, begets a new life in the soul; it creates a new being in the image of God. ?When we become new creatures in Christ we will bring forth the fruit of the spirit that is written in Galatians 5.
Christ is our way of escape, He became Man, and he walked with us. He lived a sinless life. And he gave His life for us just to take away our sins.? The next lesson about Growing up with Christ has thought me that we will never stop growing. Our growth in Christ is never-ending. This is also why we should never stop learning. Lastly, the lesson about work and life. When we work for God we should never worry about succeeding. Do not worry about what other people think about us. We just have to keep on going forward doing the work of God faithfully so our lives will not go in vain. The disciples of Jesus may not realize that they were doing any good, but with their unconscious influence, they have become blessings to others. If we practice the characters of Jesus in our lives, it will become a habit for us, and just by living faithfully every day, our lives can be our testimony to be blessings to people around us.
