The Beautiful Book Series with Dr. Paul Choo

Mark Sometimes called John Mark, was an assistant to Paul & Barnabas and later on became Peter's assistant. The Gospel of Mark showed Jesus as a Servant King, and was written for unbelievers (like tracts) as Matthew was for the (Jewish) believers. Mark focuses on the miracles, what Jesus did during His ministry as the Son of God (8:29). What can we learn from the turning point of a Roman centurion when he heard the victory cry of Jesus on the cross? The response was to evoke a lesson for unbelievers to realize they've been doubting & ignoring Jesus all these years. Till one day something shocks you, God allows you to go through a crisis -then the turning point comes. Until you're afraid you're going to hell -you cry out for help. Until you're broke- you'll be fixed. May you help unbelievers read this book in the right way & let God work in their hearts. God bless you!

This is an epistle written by God the Father through Apostle Paul to a church in Rome & in the process of addressing it, he has left us with the greatest gem of all, The Theology of Justification by Faith (1:16) & that's critical as the 1st epistle. It's all about The Gospel, the power of God unto salvation for the Jews & Gentiles. When you receive Jesus, you receive a power over sin in your life, a partner, the Holy Spirit to help you overcome this "grip of sin". That day by day in the process of sanctification you can be more & more like Christ. So we are not "hyper-grace", we are saved from hell to Christ-likeness through the power of sanctification to prepare us for the day of glorification.

May you step back and say the wisdom, mercy, & the love of God-Amazing! He never forgot His people Israel & through Israel the doors were opened for the gentiles like us & one day every race comes together into this great family reunion like never before. May God bless you!

I hope you'll realize when you go to The Book of Epistles they are personal letters, and I hope you'll know your God who wrote these letters to you is a personal God. He is your Heavenly Father - don't forget that. God is very personal to you and to me, because epistles address personal problems. God is a very practical God, I hope you'll know that. Christianity is not just about studying Bible studies forever, but how we live and God is just as concerned as how we live as to how we know about Him. Too many Christians know all kinds of verses but their lives & their knowledge don't seem to be in sync.

As we look at The Book of Epistles remember, the personal Father wants you to live a practical life before men. God bless you!

Lesson 6: One Solution Only. | Lesson 7: The Deadliest Traffic Jam.

On that day 35 years ago, I realized that though I had known and memorized John 3:16, I had never believed it. But the Bible tells us that merely knowing the promise in John 3:16 is useless. What is important is believing John 3:16.

Lesson 14: Jesus' DNA | Lesson 15: Many Taufik Hidayats

God commands all Christians to “work out their salvation” (Phil 1:12). Many misunderstand this verse to mean that we have to “work for our salvation. ” This is impossible because no one can work for his salvation because “all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Rom 3:23). Furthermore, if we could work for our salvation then there was no need for God to give His only begotten Son.

Jesus on the Cross said “It is finished.” The work of salvation is complete. It has been earned by Jesus on the Cross. Our job is not to earn our salvation but to “work out” our salvation.

Enjoy this and enjoy your journey with Jesus!
