Wednesday's lesson and today is hypertext day. It's the day for you to tag me on social media showing your lesson, well filled out along with your Bible. It is fine?
I really enjoy reposting some of you and I even wanted to apologize. I don't know if you're hearing it this way, but I have the feeling that I'm talking from a can because I have a bad cold. The flu has taken over my being, but I'm here, I have to record our lessons, so I'm faithful to that.
I hope I'm helping you understand my words, ok? I want to make a request to you. Are these lessons important to you?
So take that lesson from the week that you felt was most interesting and tag your friends on social media, especially Instagram. For example, if you are receiving it via WhatsApp, you can take it and send it to some friends. If you want to follow and watch it on YouTube too, you can too.
And then watch all these videos on YouTube. The important thing is that it's good for you and that you also talk about this material to other people, ok? Well, open your Bible, please.
In John chapter 5 verse 39: You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life, and they themselves testify about Me. And this verse was not explored much in this week's lesson, but I think it is extremely important. Because we live in a world where we have an abundance of information.
So we have books, we have the smartphone. We can read the articles in different ways, we can quickly delve deeper into the subject. We go to Google and search this and search that.
In other words, we have many sources that we can read, that we can learn from and that can influence us. This is true, this is fact. But I would like you to think about two things.
The first of them. If what you think is true is simply transforming, becoming what will guide your life, you may be wrong. Why?
Because what you think may not be true, it may not be reality. And then you keep feeding what you want it to be. No, I think this is yellow and you really are yellow!
It's really yellow. Really yellow! But suddenly you assume that that's not yellow, that's green.
Suddenly you can say: No, I'm going, I'm going to search this vastness of knowledge and books, I'm going to see which philosophy, ideology I like the most and the one I like most, I'm going to assimilate it into my life . It won't work either. How should we read?
How are we supposed to study all the other things? We must read and study everything based on this basis here. What is what?
Which is the Bible. My basis is the Bible. My basis is not a manifesto, be it A, B, C or D.
That's not the point. I don't go from that book, from that ideology to here. I start from the Bible to other things and what that book agrees with the Bible.
So add me. Ah, that ideology is consistent with the Bible. So I follow.
Now I have my Bible, you examine the Scriptures because in them you think you have eternal life. Eternal life is here, knowledge is here. The ideological, moral, social and religious foundations of human beings must be guided by the Bible.
And the other things? I repeat if they are in tune with the word, I follow. If they are not in tune, I read it, I understood it.
It's additional knowledge, but it won't influence my life. Because what will influence my life has to be something that is alongside the Word of God, because the path to eternity is here. And it is from here that my ideologies, my thoughts, my values must come from to guide my life.
Beauty? Keep that verse in your head. I'll read it again.
Search the Scriptures, because you think you have eternal life in them, and they themselves testify of Me.
