verse of the day

Only one ( Acts 4 v 12 )

On his missionary journeys the apostle Paul and his companions arrived at Athens,and what they saw was a city given over to idolatry. It was a city of many gods, it had the greatest  university in the world,and it had some of the greatest philosophers.W.Barclay declared, 'God has made man so that he instinctively longs for God.' When Mahatma Gandhi was asked near the end of his life, 'Babaki', you have been looking for God all your life. Have you found him yet?'No , was the reply., ' I'm still looking'.India is a very religious country,they have hundreds of god's,just like Athens,religions, there are in plenty, in this world,but have they, Him, who is God, and the only God.If a person wants to know God, he has provided a way in the person of Jesus,through His death on Calvary. Religion ,philosophy,education cannot  bring a person to God,because man is spiritually dead,he wanders about in the darkness ,lost ,clutching  blindly to those idols,gods, that only condemn him to eternal loss. Through Jesus, God provided a sure and certain hope,he provided forgiveness,and a promise of life after death. Simply trust Him as your Saviour,then there will be no more groping in the dark.
