Gospel Foundation Course

Currently attending a 6 weeks Gospel Foundation Course...very eye and ear opening...last week Pastor John covered The Fall in the Garden...realised man's very first sin...that is Disbelief for God...yeah...that was the first sin...and the eating of the fruit...hehe...really lor...our lives are indeed filled with the devil's lies...indeed...THE TRUTH WILL SET US FREE!!!...if u are wondering why...think back...God instructed Adam NOT (Thanks Sharon!) to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Gen 2:17)...

however the serpent said to Eve about the 'goodness' to know good and evil is good for man...jialat liao lor...they ate...causing the fall...but it also started the whole rescue mission by the Creator Himself...yeah...have to be thankful...He did not abandon us in the wildness to be devour by the evil beasts...

Today brother Chris continue where stopped last week...this week topic is The Cross...yeah...he did a good and clear explanation on what and why the Cross events needed to happened...me always think deeply when tok about the Cross lor...really lor...Son of God...who have all the power in this world to stop everything...yet Jesus was tortured (a tame word to use) for our sake...His flesh was torn apart...that was not the end...He still need to be hang on the cross...all these were done for us...the Scriptures for these to be fulfilled:-

Isaiah 53:4-5

Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted.

But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.

me always think...God...do You really need to do these for us?...You are almighty...we are just normal beings...do we DESERVE all these You have done...maybe we human will have the thinking that we are NEVER be able to deserve God's blessings and mercy...funny thing also...in the Bible...every time Jesus or an angel appear...the scene is men will be afraid...then Jesus will say 'Don't be afraid'...maybe the fall in the garden effect still in us...hehe

however...when on the cross...Jesus shouted IT IS FINISHED...meaning everything that needs to be done...is done...amazing...brother Chris did say some teaching are going around...that changed the truth...it is not ALMOST finished...Christ left over this this thing no do yet...let the preacher to finish...LIES!!!

Ephesians 2:8-9

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9not by works, so that no one can boast.

John 3:36

Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him.

By believing He done it all...yeah...eternal life begins now...not when we go heaven...we all go...but now we can live victorious life as a Christian...all because of what Jesus did...shiok...Thank you Jesus...we cant help but thank you more and more...

oh yeah...brother Chris shared...of all these...there is still 1 sin left...that is still Disbelief for God!...we human...really...hehe...
