John 15:26. The Holy Spirit is foremost a divine comforter to Christians. After Jesus' ministry on Earth, the Holy Spirit was sent to comfort Christians. As the Comforter and the divine Spirit of Truth, he continues today to bear witness of Jesus and anoint Christians to spread the gospel throughout the world.

1 John 4:2. The Bible is very plain when it comes to giving us advice on determining the validity of visions and revelations. Not every prophet, proclaimer, sage, soothsayer, dream, vision, and so on are of God and are speaking the truth about the future. There is a simple test to determine if someone or a vision is of God or not.

Genesis 30:27: If you persist in acting Godly and creating value in human relationships, people will eventually recognize and acknowledge your value. This is what happened with Jacob's relationship with Laban. Laban, Jacob's uncle and father-in-law, was always trying to get the better end of the deal with his dealings with Jacob. This first happened when Jacob negotiated a marriage contract for Rachel, but Laban tricked Jacob into marrying Leah, his oldest daughter. Due to this trickery, Jacob ended up working for Laban for seven additional years in order to marry Rachel.

Deuteronomy 30:19. When you are having feelings of being unloved, you are in a time of transition. This could be problems with your marriage or any of your relationships. The real problem is your relationship with God. If you are feeling unloved, you are out of relationship with God.

Revelation 19:10. Part of being a Christian brethren is to spread the testimony of Jesus Christ. In the book of Revelation an angel tells John (the author of Revelation) that he is a “ fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus”.

Titus 1:16. Many people profess to know God, but they are without conscience. Many people may really believe they know God, but in their works they deny Him.

2 Corinthians 1:12. The secret of happiness is when our conscience lines up with God, and we act on that good conscience. Because our conscience leads us in our day-to-day activities, our conscience is key for us to have God’s eternal joy. By having a good conscience we can act Godly in an ungodly world.

Psalms 119:2. God desires for us to be fully committed to Him in all things and at all times. That is the secret of happiness. We are blessed when we are fully committed to God’s commandments. God’s commandments boil down to loving God with your whole heart, and loving your neighbor as yourself. We are blessed when we seek God with our whole heart.

What is Christian faith? Why is faith so important? How do you get faith?

These questions are key for understanding Christianity. Christianity and faith go hand in hand. No one can call themselves a Christian without faith in Jesus Christ. Hebrews 11:1 is a key scripture to begin to understand what is faith and how you get faith.

Key Bible Scripture
