Cornelius: A Committed But Ignorant Worshipper

Sunday 28th June 

Text: Acts 10:1-6:
Key Verse: Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in His sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. Romans 3:20
In the scripture above, we understand that Cornelius was a devout, generous and prayerful man, who feared God with all his house; yet he was ignorant of what he needed to do to get his name in the Book of Life and save himself and his family from eternal damnation. Although he was committed to the worship of God, Cornelius' understanding of God's requirement for salvation from sin and eternal life was very shallow and was based on observance of the Old Testament laws. He was not aware that justification was no more by law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. God saw the sincerity of Cornelius and sent an angel to him to instruct him on what he needed to do to get right with God. He obeyed and sent for Peter thirty-five miles away to hear the instruction of life for the salvation of his soul and that of his household. 
Had not Cornelius obeyed the revelation message and instruction of divine mercy sent to him, he would have perished with his house hold despite his alms deed, prayers, fasting and commitment to God's worship, because their worship was on wrong premises. God can only be appeased through faith on the Lord Jesus Christ, which he was ignorant of. If you do not want to perish, you must seek for the total truth of the gospel that will save your soul from condemnation. 
Go for the total gospel truth, embrace it, live by it, and practice it. Discover the doctrine of salvation, sanctification, baptism with the Holy Spirit, Christian marriage, tithes and offering, restitution, Christian dressing, holiness, etc. Make necessary changes in your life, in your family and in your church, if you are a pastor.

Thought for the day: God can only be appeased through faith on the Lord Jesus

Song for the day: Lord teach me your word (2x), I want to know your word

Bible reading for the day: Psalms 141-150

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...
