Grace and Truth

Hello, everyone! I’m Abhishek Kulbainur, and today marks a special milestone in my life—my 18th birthday! As I step into adulthood, I want to take a moment to reflect on the journey so far and express my gratitude to God for all the blessings I’ve received. A Year of Growth and Learning Over the past year, I’ve been writing the blogs, which has been an incredible experience. It’s not just a platform for sharing my thoughts, but also a way to connect with others and explore the world around me. Each post has taught me something new, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to express myself and share my journey. The Importance of Gratitude Gratitude has a way of transforming our perspective. It shifts our focus from what we lack to appreciating what we have. Every day, I find reasons to be thankful—whether it’s the love of family, the support of elders, or the beauty of nature around me. God has played a pivotal role in shaping my life, guiding me through challenges and celebrating my victo...

Is God able to do all things? YES! My God is Able to do all things. "God is able" emphasizes God's limitless power and ability to accomplish what seems impossible.  The apostle Paul, in his letter to the Ephesians, declares that God is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine. His power knows no bounds, and He works within us to accomplish His purposes. Refer Ephesians 3:20 for it. Moses personally experienced God's Ability. When faced with the Red Sea, seemingly trapped between the water and the Egyptian army, God miraculously parted the sea, allowing the Israelites to cross safely ( Exodus 14:21-22 ). Moses saw that God was indeed able. We should be totally dependent on GOD . On our own, we can achieve very little ( John 15:5 ). However, when we trust in God, we gain access to power beyond our comprehension ( 1 Chronicles 29:12 ). If you're burdened, remember that God can carry your load ( Matthew 11:28-30 ). Remember always that He can make us s...

In a world filled with uncertainties and challenges, finding something—or Someone—steadfast and reliable can be a source of great comfort and hope. For believers, God’s promises stand as a beacon of assurance in every season of life. From the beginning of Scripture to its end, the Bible resounds with the unwavering truth that God’s promises never fail . Let’s explore this foundational truth and its implications for our faith journey. God's Faithfulness in Scripture: Throughout the Bible, God reveals Himself as a faithful promise keeper: - Genesis 15:5-6 : God promises Abram descendants as numerous as the stars, and despite human doubt, fulfills His promise, renaming him Abraham. - Joshua 21:45 : Joshua recalls how God fulfilled every promise made to Israel, not one word failing. - Psalm 145:13 : The Psalmist declares, "Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures through all generations. The LORD is trustworthy in all he promises and faithful in all he doe...

“Christ The Lord is Risen!”    means: ● We don't have to fear death ● We have the power to overcome everything  ● We always have access to the holy spirit  ● We always have reason to rejoice  Christ The Lord is Risen   Means We Don’t Have To Fear Death. No one really enjoys thinking about dying, but it’s obviously a reality we’ll all face someday. When Jesus rose, he broke the power of death for all who follow him. There are only two destinations for the soul when we pass on…Heaven or Hell. Romans 8:11 says “And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.” Jesus died so we never have to face Hell. His resurrection proved He was able to remove sin and its penalty. If He remained dead the opposite would be true – that believers are still in sin. And the unavoidable end of a sinful life is death. Christ The Lord is Rise...

Most people understand hope as wishful thinking, as in "I hope something will happen." This is not what the Bible means by hope. The biblical definition of hope is " confident expectation ." 1. Casting Your Cares on Him :- Cast your anxieties and worries on Jesus. In 1 Peter 5:7 (NIV), it says, "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you." This verse shows the caring and loving nature of Jesus. 2. Peace in Christ :- Jesus promises a unique kind of peace that transcends understanding. In John 16:33 (NIV), Jesus says, "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." So find peace in Jesus who has overcome the challenges of the world. 3. Seeking God in Troubled Times :- In times of trouble, seek God. Psalm 34:17-18 (NIV) states, "The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close t...

The Love of Jesus Christ is the perfect example of true and unconditional love.  1. Sacrificial Love : Jesus' love is sacrificial because he laid down his life for us so we could experience salvation. Jesus willingly gave up his life on the cross to atone for the sins of Humanity. Self-sacrifice exemplifies the highest form of love. 2.  Unconditional Love : The Bible teaches that Jesus' love is not dependent on human merit or goodness. It is a love extended to all, regardless of their past mistakes or shortcomings. 3. Forgiveness : Jesus encouraged his followers to forgive others, just as they have been forgiven. The act of forgiving is seen as an expression of love, mirroring the forgiveness offered by Jesus. 4. Compassion and Mercy : The Gospels depict Jesus as a compassionate and merciful man. His interactions with people, especially those who were marginalized or considered sinners, exemplify a love that extends beyond societal boundaries. 5. Relationship with God : T...
