"If" by Gary Rose



There are many out there that say that Christianity is founded on “Blind Faith” and not reality. They are wrong. Christianity is based on historical fact, which can be proved through archeology and historical documents. Recently, I have been reading the English Majority Text Version, which is based on 5800 manuscripts. This is reality and Christianity is verifiable. Although not listed in the picture, the bottom part of the picture refers to a passage from the book of Philippians; which says…

Philippians 4 World English Bible )
[13] I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me. 

How was Paul, who penned these words able to do the things he did? It was the will of God. God directly chose him, directed him and strengthened him. God has selected you because you have selected HIM. Each one of us is different; with particular talents and abilities, which God will use in HIS own time and way. Very few of us will rise to the status of a Moses or a Joshua or a David, but in Christ and through the power which God supplies, we can be everything we need to be to fit into God’s will for our lives. See 1 Cor. 12:5-18 and 27-31.

And the key to all this is listed in verse 31, which says…
1 Corinthians 12: (WEB)
 [31] But earnestly desire the best gifts. Moreover, I show a most excellent way to you. 

And the next chapter explains that excellent way- the way of love. In ancient times it was said: “Love God and do what you like.” For if you really, genuinely Love God, you will do HIS WILL rather than your own and anything is possible.
