De Eerste Algemene Brief van den Apostel Johannes 1:8

Dit is een ding om te glo dat Jesus 2 000 jaar gelede as ’n baba aarde toe gekom het. Maar weet jy waarom Hy gekom het? Hierdie 4-dag leesplan ondersoek die Bybelse antwoorde op dié vraag. Jesus se koms het niks te make met ’n sentimentele gevoel rondom vakansiegebeure nie. Dit het ewigheidsimplikasies vir jou lewe en vir die hele wêreld.

Just as a physically unhealthy heart can destroy your body, an emotionally and spiritually unhealthy heart can destroy you and your relationships. For the next five days, let Andy Stanley help you look within yourself for four common enemies of the heart — guilt, anger, greed, and jealousy — and teach you how to remove them.

Have you ever asked yourself, “Why am I still wrestling with that sin?” Even the apostle Paul said as much in Romans 7:15: “I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate.” How do we stop sin from stopping our spiritual lives? Is it even possible? Let’s discuss sin, temptation, Satan, and, thankfully, God’s love.

We all have a common denominator. We will die. I will die. You will die. Death will defeat you. You won’t be able to dodge it, sidestep it, trick it or make it disappear. But then there is Jesus, the man who defeated the grave. Jesus stood toe to toe with the grave and defeated death. When Jesus talks, the grave speaks.
