What would How would you answer if you were asked the same question? God's word encourages us to do many good things: We are encouraged to follow the example of Jesus, to show charity, to have a giving spirit and more. But believing in Christ means, that we want to believe in Him as the Son of God who makes atonement for our Sins.
Peter could not find that answer on his own, but as we read in Matthew 16:17, it is God Fader in heaven that has given Peter the insight and faith.
And thankfully, it's the same today. It is our Father in heaven, that gives us faith. It is the Holy Spirit, that creates faith in Jesus in ours hearts. It is impossible to understand God's wondrous plan of salvationimpossible to sense His unspeakable love and wisdom without the Holy Spirit of God.r to show it to us and create faith in Him in our Hearts.
To think that we, who are sinners in every way, who cannot earn God's love... that because of Jesus' sacrifice for our sake, we can now stand before God as pure, righteous and worthy of heaven.
That's the message we must stand together to offer to people, both at home and around the world. We want to, that God by his word and spirit may guide us all and that each of us may use the abilities and gifts, we have been entrusted with, for the glory of God and for the help and salvation of men, We're in the middle of it.
