I'm a New Creation

I'm a New Creation

Reading:2 Peter 1:3-10

A Year Reading:Genesis 10-12

Nas:His divine power has bestowed upon us everything useful for a godly life by our introduction to Him.... (2 Peter 1:3)


Can someone who is tech-stuttering aka blind to the introduction of smart electronic devices get the most out of the tools? Is it possible that someone who doesn't know a famous actor will ask for time to take pictures with him when he meets him? Of course not, because the requirements of knowing are not met.

The Apostle Peter advised the congregation to grow in their knowledge of God (v. 8). If people do not know God well and deeply, their Christian life will not be optimal. Why? Because the potential given by God is not used or just wasted. What potential? The potential to grow and be a blessing to anyone. The potential to have faith, virtue, knowledge, self-mastery, perseverance, and righteousness that in turn enables a person to love one's brethren and fellow human beings (vv. 5-7).

The point of reading and meditating on God's words is for us to know Him better. Knowing Him will make us love Him. In addition, by knowing God, we know ourselves better. Recognize the potential God has given us to live a noble life and glorify Him. Do not believe if our surroundings, our own experiences or consciences accuse us of being bad, weak, and useless. Instead, believe what God says about us. In Christ, we are newly created human beings, good, potential, and able to benefit (cf. Ef. 2:10). Live up to that potential! -PAD

So, whoever is in Christ, he is a new creation.

Who is God's Creator?

Who is God's Creator?

Reading:Genesis 1:1-31

A Year Reading:Genesis 7-9

Nas: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. (Genesis 1:1)


One mother asked a lecturer at a theological school, "My son wants to know who created God. What should I answer to him?" The lecturer replied, "Just tell him that no one created God. He has always been there and always will be." "But he was only 6 years old. He would not understand such an answer, " the mother retorted. " Even when he was 60 years old, he still wouldn't understand that answer, but just tell him, because that's the truth," the lecturer replied.

There are various theories about the origin of the universe, but they are all conjectures. But the Bible tells us that there is one cause of all that exists. He is God, who has existed and reigned from eternity (Psalm 93:2). It was He who created the heavens, the earth and the entire universe. It was He who created time, made day and night, also made people in His image and likeness, and gave them the authority to rule over all creation.

God is omnipresent, always is and always will be. He has, is and will be. This truth is not only difficult for children to understand, but by people of all ages. But when we follow Him, we can even have intimate fellowship with Him, for He has revealed Himself, not only through His creation, but also through Jesus Christ, the Word who became flesh to save sinful creation.

"Obedience Brings Blessings"

Deuteronomy 7:12-26 

Everyone wants their life to be blessed, but unfortunately not everyone wants blessings in God.

The Lord promised to love, bless, and make the Israelites many (13). The Lord will bless them with abundant produce and keep them from sickness and their enemies (15). For this reason, they must not worship the gods of foreign nations.

God will also fight against the enemies of the nation of Israel. Although the nations they will face are far more, powerful, and mighty, but God Himself will dispel them. The Israelites need not fear and fear because God will give them victory (17-24). For this reason, they must also exterminate all the statues of the nations' offerings. The Israelites were not to bring abominations into their homes (25-26).

• Cadans
• Silver Heights besparen
• Een nieuw begin
• "Auld's Lange's Syne's"
• Nieuwjaarskus
• Het huis van maart
• Niet zo gezellig hut
• Rattenvanger
• "Saran"
• "Louis"

If God's people hear and do God's rules, then God will bless them. When they have received blessings and victories, they must guard against following other gods and not to be attracted by their offerings. So, God would bless the Israelites if they continued to worship God.

Our reading today shows God's promise to His people. A blessed life will happen if His people live in obedience. So, blessings from God are inseparable from obedience and faithfulness to God. Nor should we expect blessings from sources outside of God. Let us not ask God for blessings without longing to be more obedient to Him. For us, God's blessing is given so that we know Him better and be more faithful to Him.

Do we expect certain blessings from the Lord these days? Is that desire accompanied by a longing to be more obedient to God? Ask the Lord for blessings with a determination to always be faithful to Him. Obey and be faithful to God!
