Bible Summary. God can see the future because he is the source of all knowledge and wisdom. No one else can see the future unless it is revealed to them from God. God is awesome because he is able to do more than just see the future, he is able to declare what the future will be. Seeing the future and declaring the future is something that only God can do.

Genesis 30:27: If you persist in acting Godly and creating value in human relationships, people will eventually recognize and acknowledge your value. This is what happened with Jacob's relationship with Laban. Laban, Jacob's uncle and father-in-law, was always trying to get the better end of the deal with his dealings with Jacob. This first happened when Jacob negotiated a marriage contract for Rachel, but Laban tricked Jacob into marrying Leah, his oldest daughter. Due to this trickery, Jacob ended up working for Laban for seven additional years in order to marry Rachel.

1 Samuel 8:5. People can argue all day on what is the best type of government be it representative, authoritarian, or even a theocracy. A more important consideration is who should lead the Government.

John 15:22. From God's perspective there is no excuse for sin. Sin is simply being disobedient to God. It is in our human nature to sin. Sin started with Adam and Eve, our forefathers, in the Garden of Eden. Even though humans have a tendency to sin (steal, lust, idolize, and so on), we know in our heart of hearts that we are wrong.

Hebrews 11:1. Jesus came on this earth to save us from Hell and eternal separation from God. Jesus showed us how to live. He showed us that mankind can defeat death, and He gave us the plan of salvation. All we have to do is believe in Him that Jesus is the one way to salvation. This is challenging for most of us because what Jesus has done defies our five senses. He performed miracles.

Romans 1:20. Most people have at one time or another gotten caught up in the nature vs nurture debate. In this debate both sides take a position of why a person acts in a certain manner. Is it their environment that causes their actions or were they born that way?

Romans 8:16. When the Holy Spirit is in us there is no reason to fear no matter what the circumstances. Fear of our circumstances can inhibit us in spiritual warfare to take on the mind of Christ. The spirit of fear puts us in bondage, but the Holy Ghost reminds us and encourages us that we no longer need to be bound in fear.

Romans 6:9. Jesus' resurrection is many times thought of in abstract terms or just treated as a form of a holiday with the celebration of Easter each year. In reality it is the most important historical event that has ever occurred in the world.

Acts 20:24. Another joy to being a Christian is the opportunity to testify the truth of God. It is the greatest joy when you are able to deliver God's word to another.

Deuteronomy 4:35. Many of us ask ourselves, "is there a God?". We do this because we do not know Him even though there is ample evidence of His creation all around us. Others know deep in their hearts that there is a God, but they deny Him because they do not want to obey God. Others ignore God and His truth because they do not want to know the truth.

John 7:7. The only answer to our human situation and our sin nature is Jesus. God is a righteous God that punishes sin with death and destruction. Because God loves us so, Jesus' act on the cross took on our punishment for our sin so that we could be saved. All we need to do is accept Jesus as our Savior. This is the only answer to God's righteousness.

Acts 1:8. Christians have a supernatural power that comes from receiving the Holy Ghost (Acts 1:8, "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you..."). This supernatural power is more powerful than sin, death, and ungodly influences in our lives.

Hebrews 11:3. Most people only think of the world around them in terms of natural phenomenon. We see the stars and we touch the Earth, but we do not consider spiritual things that are outside our five senses (the supernatural). This is why many of us doubt God exists. He is outside our five senses. He is supernatural.
