- 15 авг.Why We Should Read Scripture for Ourselves Why should we read the Bible for ourselves? Why not simply go to church, listen to the pastor, and trust them to tell us what Scripture says and means? Because our relationship with the Father is personal. Schooling, degrees, titles, or religious positions cannot equip someone for a personal relationship with God. That relationship comes through seeking Him, through His Word and through His Son, Jesus Christ. We must read, learn, pray, and seek to know His truth for ourselves. Acts 17:11 gives us a beautiful example. When Paul and Silas taught the Bereans, they did not blindly accept what they heard even from Paul. "They received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so." If the Bereans searched the Scriptures to verify what Paul was teaching, shouldn't we do the same? History reminds us that generations of people depended on religious leaders because they could not read Scripture for themselves. Even today, many hear what a pastor says and accept it without ever opening the Bible to see whether it is actually true. Think about cursive writing. For generations, people learned it because it was necessary. Today, many consider it irrelevant. But what happens when we encounter historical letters, documents, or records written in cursive? If we stop learning how to read it, eventually we may lose the ability to understand what was written before us. The same principle applies to Scripture. We should never become so dependent on someone else to read and interpret God's Word for us that we lose the ability or the desire to search it for ourselves. Paul told Timothy, "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." 2 Timothy 2:15. And Jesus said, "Search the scriptures." John 5:39. Some discount Scripture because it was translated by men. But before we dismiss God's Word, shouldn't we actually read it, study it, and test what it says? Throughout history, Scripture has been compared with archaeological discoveries and historical evidence in ways that continue to give people reason to examine it seriously. And beyond history, there are people today who sincerely call upon God and experience His guidance, protection, correction, and the moving of His Spirit in their lives. These experiences should not replace Scripture, but they can encourage us to seek Him rather than dismiss Him without ever searching. My mother always told me, "Memorize your Bible, because there may come a time when you don't have one to read." That stayed with me. We don't know what the future holds. But we do know that God's Word is too important to leave entirely in someone else's hands. Read. Learn. Pray. Repent. Fast. Seek. Don't simply accept what someone tells you God said. Go to His Word and seek Him personally through Christ. Jesus gave us this promise: "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened." Matthew 7:7–8. If you genuinely seek God, don't be afraid to ask Him to reveal His truth to you. Search the Scriptures. Pray over what you read. Be willing to repent when you discover you were wrong. Fast. Keep seeking. Don't just know what someone says the Bible says. Know what the Bible says for yourself. "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." Psalm 119:105.

- 8 авг.Happy Sabbath, God First Family!🕊️ When I started the God First channel, my mission was simple: to encourage people to read Scripture for themselves. I never wanted anyone to trust what another person taught without first searching God's Word. My desire has always been to encourage others to seek the truth and develop a personal relationship with the Father through His Son, Jesus Christ, our only Mediator. As many of you know, my life is very full. I spend much of my time serving God by spreading the Gospel, encouraging and helping those in need while fulfilling my responsibilities at home. Through it all, I continue to study, write, and deepen my understanding of God's Word. Over the years, I have watched many teachers simply repeat what they have heard rather than diligently seeking what God is actually saying in Scripture. As a result, many people repeat those same teachings without ever examining them for themselves. This is how traditions and false teachings continue for generations. It is heartbreaking to see so many people confused, discouraged, and misled, turning away from God. Whether it is the doctrine of an eternally burning hell, the Sabbath, or other long-held traditions, we should never accept a teaching simply because it has been passed down or widely believed. God's Word, not tradition, must always be our authority. Speaking God's truth, His actual Word, should always come first. Acts 17:11 gives us the example of the Bereans. They did not blindly accept Paul's and Silas' teaching. Instead, they searched the Scriptures daily to see whether what they were hearing was true. That should be the example for every believer. Every teaching, sermon, and doctrine should be tested against Scripture. Sadly, I see the opposite happening today. Too many present themselves as all-knowing pastors rather than humble servants of the Most High God through Christ. Being ordained by a denomination or recognized by a government does not mean someone has been ordained by God. Scripture reminds us that many religious leaders in Jesus' day failed to recognize the very Messiah they claimed to be waiting for because they were blinded by tradition and pride. Jesus gave us the standard in Matthew 7:20: "By their fruits you will know them." He then warns that not everyone who says, "Lord, Lord," will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only those who do the will of His Father. Many will point to their ministries, miracles, and works done in His name, yet Jesus will say, "I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness" Matthew 7:21–23. Their titles, popularity, education, and influence did not prove they belonged to Him. Their obedience, or lack of it, revealed whether they truly knew Christ. Jesus gives a similar warning in Luke 13:25–27. Once the Master of the house has shut the door, many will plead to be let in, claiming they knew Him. Yet He will answer, "I do not know where you come from. Depart from Me." Simply claiming Christ or having a public ministry is not enough. We must truly know Him, obey Him, and bear the fruit of a life transformed by Him. This is why I started God First, not to create another platform where opinions are repeated, but to encourage people to open their Bibles and search the Scriptures for themselves. Because of this, and because I have watched people come to God First simply to build personal followings or repeat what others teach without careful study, I have decided to slow down posting on the channel for a season. God's Word was never given for us to reshape to fit our opinions. It was given to transform us. We must test all things, rightly divide the Word of Truth, and humbly submit to what God has actually said, not what tradition, popularity, or personalities tell us to believe. My prayer remains the same as it has always been: that each of us would seek God first, search His Word diligently, and allow Scripture, not man, to be our final authority. Happy Sabbath, everyone! ~Renee, a servant of the Most High God through Jesus Christ🕊️12,28%
