this series is called The Truth. We will know the truth Bible in a prophetic context. I'm sure it will be a great blessing for your life!
A great blessing for my life and also for our family, in general! I thank you very much to be here! You already watched the DVD The Great Controversy, The Revelation, the Answer, The Last Hope, The Ten Commandments, the time has come to know the whole truth of the Word God's.
Prepare your heart. I am already with my Bible open here and I invite you also open your Bible, take a pen, a paper to study this important issue: The Truth About the Bible Sacred, the Word of God. Let's start reading Revelation 1 verse 3, which reads: "Blessed are those who read and those that hear the words of the prophecy, and keep things written in it, for the time is next.
"Here we have a keyword, which is the word "happy" or "blessed. " Blessed are those who read what they hear and keep the words of the Bible. Therefore, I'm absolutely sure you want to be a happy person.
I want too. So, Here's the secret: three steps: read, see, read, hear and practice the Word of God. This one It is the secret to a happier life!
Now, the Holy Bible it teaches us, for example, its origin, as the Bible appeared. The Bible Holy emerged from a divine initiative. Before sin, God's communication with the man was face to face.
God spoke face to face with Adam and Eve, but when sin entered human life, there was a separation, then God could not be seen by men. So men only heard the voice of God and that was when God called people consecrated and dedicated, and God began to talk to these people and they wrote all what God spoke. And so it came the Bible Holy Bible Sagrada.
A passed, course, papyrus, parchment, until this final product that we have in our hands. Now, when we open the Holy Bible, in the Second Letter of Peter, for example, Second Book Apostle São Pedro, we discovered some words that help us understand the origin of the Bible. Look: II Peter 1 verses 20:21, "knowing, first, , that no prophecy of Scripture is Of particular elucidation; because never ever no prophecy came by the will; however, men [holy] spoke from God, moved by the Holy Spirit.
" It is clear, is not it? The Bible is not a human product, the Bible was not by inspiration simply human. No, no way.
The Bible is God's inspired and men were instrumental in writing this sacred livro. E you know what it says Reverse 105 119 Ps? You know?
Oh no You know yet? Then I'll show you. look I wonder: PS 119 105 is verse an extraordinary text.
He says: "Lamp to my feet is your word and light to my ways. " See that God left this book just to be a light to our way. It means that when a person open the Bible and study and practice, the O darkness, O darkness go away.
vain leaving home, marriage, family, the spiritual life and the luz de Deus comes in your life and brings surely a life happier! And ah, you have another text I I want to show you. This is where John chapter 17 verse 17.
Look at that very powerful text this one's word God's. Open your Bible with me. John 17:17 is written: "Sanctify them in truth, your word is truth.
" Wow, how wonderful! "Sanctify them in the truth, your word is truth. " So, I I have here in my hands the word of truth.
Truth itself is the Holy Bible, the God's word! Now, attention to some Bible numbers: she has 66 books, 39 in the Old Testament, 27 in the New (Testament). It was written in about 1600 years for about 40 people.
The Bible was written in three original languages. In the Hebrew language, in Aramaic and also in Greek. Another detail: the Bible is divided into chapters and verses.
Chapter is the large number and verse, the number pequeno. Tem inside 1. 189 chapters and 31,102 verses.
Another thing, the Bible is how the Old Testament and New Testament. The Old Testament, written before Christ and the new, after Christ. Now I have more important, important information for you!
The Holy Bible is divided into five parts, they are: history, poetry, prophecy, gospel and letters. OK? Now is important to know that the five parts only one does not understand how to read it.
Look, this part does not understand how to read It is the prophetic part, especially the prophecies. When you consider the other four as poetry, gospel and letters, 90% of these four parties understand how to read it. But in case the prediction is the opposite: 95% did not understand how to read, especially books Daniel in the Old Testament and Revelation, in New.
Now, knowing all these things, we must consider what is written in John 17:17, which I have mentioned to you and I will repeat now, because this is a text very, very important! John 17:17 says: "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word it is the truth". Understood?
Amen? Do you agree? Praised be God.
So if the word of God is truth, here comes another text we should consider because this other text will make more sense now, before this understanding. See what John 8:32 says. Attention, eh, because the text is very powerful, It is a great blessing for us.
It says like this: "You will know the truth and the truth shall make you free. " Wow, what a blessing, what a wonder! So if the Holy Bible is the truth, as says John 17:17, now here comes the text John 8:32 and speaks like this: "Okay, so if you know the truth, the truth you free.
" So therefore, this series that is now beginning her talks about the truth. Because when you know all the truths of God's Word, these truths, the knowledge, the power God will set you free, will bring you a freer life, a life of peace and hope. Amen?
That's what God expects and what He wants from each of us, that really us to know, not only in theory, but also in practice, the whole truth of God's word. Now is an important thing. Did you know that this book, that book is in my hands, the Bible, it has enough power to transform and to save anyone who believes that believe?
Look what says Romans chapter 8, forgiveness, Romans Chapter 1, Romans chapter 1 verse 16. Do you know this text? This text is extraordinary!
Romans 1:16 he speaks well, look how wonderful this text is right here, Romans 1:16: "For I am not ashamed of gospel, because it is the power of God salvation of everyone who believes, first the Jew and the Gentile. " So the God's Word, the Bible, is the power of God. That is, the gospel is the power of God, and here it is really the power to transform, to save, all who believe.
I want ask a question to you, but this question I'll do sitting here in my chair, so we can talk eye to eye, okay? More Very close. Let's sit down and let's talk about this subject.
I want to ask you a question. Here I am already seated. As I sit here, it is as if I were sitting in your living room, in your house, for that chat, that heart to heart conversation.
So come here, come closer, come closer. You can reach my friend, you can reach my friend. I'm your friend, I'm your pastor and I talk to you.
The question is: "Do you believe in power of the gospel? Do you believe in the power of gospel? Hey, ei, attention, you believe the power of the gospel?
"If you believe, raises the hand. Raises his hand and say, "Pastor Luis, I believe". Ok, if you believe in the power of gospel, today, today, here, you will be saved!
Say, "Amen! " I'll say again, today, here, you will be saved! Do you know why?
