A call to unity- in Christ Jesus

God scattered mankind in different nations, speaking different languages, all over the world- because man united in his pride to defy¹ the authority of God.

Man's enterprise in building a great tower for himself, was not for the Glory of God- but for his own glory; to satisfy his ever-increasing lust for achievements.

That which began as a small enterprise in building the 'Tower of Babel'²(reaching Heaven) has eventually reached the skies in modern advancement and technology- not acknowledging God or giving Glory to God- rather, being proud of his accomplishments.

Nevertheless- today, God calls us to repentance; to unity- in one faith; in one Love, in Christ Jesus- our Lord.

In Christ alone, we are unity- one world.







1. "let us build ourselves a city... and make a name for ourselves". [Genesis 11:4]

Rather than living according to Yahweh's commandments and becoming Yahweh's people and Yahweh's Blessed nation.

2. 'Tower of Babel' signifies the defying attitude of mankind towards God.

Those who don't acknowledge God- they have their own 'Tower of Babel'-  their accomplishments; fame; beauty; wealth; education etc.

we must acknowledge God for every aspect of our being; our life.

When we don't acknowledge God- we defy God.

Faith

Faith is- a Grace of perfect confidence¹ in God- a Grace given to Humble souls².

1. For God everything is possible. HE is the Master of all the circumstances. HE does everything for our own good (Everything HE wills for our life, is for our own good.)

This is the confidence which we should feel in our heart- each time we think about God.

2. souls who are eager and willing to know God and live in God.

Walking with God

Advance each day of your life with Faith¹ and Humility² in God.

Live your life to the edification of the unbelieving³ world.

1. God is always with us- and does everything for our own good.
2. Accepting God's authority in our life and humbly accepting God's will for our life.
3. Those who have still not accepted Christ- as their salvation.

Welcome to the world of Faith

Welcome to the world of Faith.
Here, is Christ- the son of the living God.
Here, is the law of Love- the only law that can faithfully govern our life and heal the wickedness of human heart.
Here, are the Beautiful virtues of God- that give personality and character to our life.
Here, is the Everlasting life- which gives us the hope of living eternally.
Here, is Peace, Joy and Happiness- the fruits of faithful life in Christ.
Here, is the Wisdom of God- without which the world counts for nothing .

Life- this way, please.

Earn- to live.
Live- to Love¹.

1. Make Love an ultimate goal of your life. Let all your deeds  proceed out of Love for God.  For without God, there is no Love; without Love, there is no life- no living.

Skeptic and the 'word of God'

Skeptic :  "I could write something down and say, this is from God- it doesn’t mean that it really is. Is there any proof that 'Holy Bible' is the inspired word of God?"

Faithful : The Sacred scripture is the living word ,inspired by God. The men who were instrumental in writing this word were under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the wisdom that has come from above. The scripture says," the wisdom that comes down from above is essentially something pure; it is also Peaceable, kindly and Considerate; it is full of Mercy and shows itself by doing good; nor is there any trace of partiality or hypocrisy in it." [ james3:17]. Christ says," ‘It is the spirit that gives life, the flesh has nothing to offer. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life." [John6: 63]. The written word of God has life giving Spirit. It has Divine quality. The sacred scripture says," so it is with the word that goes from my mouth: it will not return to me unfulfilled or before having carried out my good pleasure and having achieved what it was sent to do." [ Isaiah 55: 11 ]

The word of God gives us the Grace and strength  and compels us in doing Good. It makes the 'will of God'- it's rule, and HIS Glory- its end.



The word born of human reasoning lacks God's Spirit. It's aim is personal victory rather than the triumph of the 'Truth'. This is truly a false wisdom. The Sacred scripture says," But if at heart you have the bitterness of jealousy, or selfish ambition, do not be boastful or hide the 'Truth' with lies; this is not the wisdom that comes from above, but earthly, human and devilish." [James 3:14-15 ] and the effect that it produces is disharmony and wickedness of every kind.


If the above refutation seems to be insufficient to the unbeliever, then St. Thomas Aquinas says,"  If our opponent believes nothing of Divine revelation, there is no longer any means of proving the articles of Faith by reasoning, but only of answering his objections---if he has any---against Faith." [  Saint Thomas Aquinas Summa Theologica I (7).]

Faith vs reason

Reason (ignorance about God ) needs to be won by our Faith and Love in Christ Jesus, as Lord Jesus Himself said : " by your Love they'll know , you are my Disciples. ". Engaging a battle of reasons doesn't gain much.




* bad faith (belief in Gods other than Jesus Christ) is won not by persuading words- but, by the sanctity of our life in Jesus Christ.
