Forum Regarding Signposts and the Answer of Life - Word Forum

Acts 1:1 | "In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach..."

Hymn #288 Blessed Assurance, Jesus Is Mine (Unified Hymn 204)

The most needed aspect for new believers is the forum to discover the answer of life. This is genuine counseling. First of all, Word forum must take place. On the Mt. of Olives, Jesus, in earnest, did Word forum regarding the works pertaining to God's Kingdom. There, He explained what the "power given from above" (Heavenly Power) was. This is the power that's most needed by you. Through the Gospel of Luke which was the first writing that Luke wrote to Theophilus, he gave the Word forum that provided the answer to life. (Acts 1:1)

1. What to Discard (The Sermon on the Mount)
Through the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus spoke about what to discard and what true blessings were. For you, through all the problems that you face, being able to stand before Christ who has solved everything is the greatest blessing. The most frequently used word from the Sermon on the Mount was "heaven." (God's Kingdom) Jesus also said "for theirs is the kingdom of heaven," (Matthew 5:3) "but seek first his kingdom and his righteousness," (Matthew 6:33) and spoke about the house that was built on the rock which would not fall and the house that was built on sand which would collapse. (Matthew 7:24-27) You must know this in order for your walk of faith to take place.

2. What to Distinguish (Parables)
In Matthew 13, Jesus told the parables of the mustard seed, yeast, a treasure hidden in a field, and a merchant's pearl of great value. Jesus said that even the life that you possess can't be seen, but if it lands in good soil, it'll bear much fruit. Moreover, He said that you mustn't worry about the seeds that have fallen along the path, on rocky places, among the thorns, and among the weeds.

3. What to Confirm (Caesarea Philippi)
People tend to live their walks of faith according to their nature. That's why Jesus asked, "Who do you say I am?" When, Peter made his confession of faith, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God," (Matthew 16:16) Jesus said, "You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 16:18-19)

The important conclusion was Matthew 16:20. Here, Jesus warned His disciples not to tell anyone that He was the Christ because in the future, more answers would be received.

[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, help me know the works of Your Kingdom and receive the power given from above. May I come to the answer of the correct Gospel of Christ in order to know what true blessings are. Please let me know the power of life that I possess. May the rest of my days be spent by enjoying the blessings in Christ. In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen
