Have you ever been taught, or quietly assumed, that in essence, the Ten Commandments were a set of rules to follow so you wouldn’t be punished or lose eternal life? The Bible paints a very different picture. The Ten Commandments were given not to control, but to reveal who God is, and what love looks like. Psalm 119:142 “Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and Your law is truth.” The law is a mirror of God’s character. ⸻ God’s Law = God’s Character 1 John 4:8

In the Garden of Eden, God placed two trees with deep symbolic meaning: • The Tree of Life • The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil These trees were not magical objects. They represented two kingdoms, two mindsets, two ways of life, and ultimately two characters. The Tree of Life represented the kingdom of God. The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil represented the kingdom of Satan. Everything that has happened to humanity since that moment can be traced back to which

God did not create life randomly. Nothing in His universe is held together by force, fear or control. Everything operates according to design, order and purpose, flowing from His character of love. Just as gravity, electricity and magnetism are real laws in the physical world, there are spiritual laws built into existence itself. These laws are not imposed rules but design principles that allow life, joy and relationships to thrive forever. Understanding these laws helps us s

The Bible uses several words for love, but the highest of them all is Agape, Divine love. Agape means unconditional, self-sacrificing love that places others above self, even when rejected. Agape is not earned, not dependent on behaviour, and not withdrawn because of sin. It is the purest form of love in existence. The Bible confirms this meaning: 1 Corinthians 13:4–7 “Love suffers long and is kind… it does not seek its own… bears all things, believes all things, hopes all th

One of the biggest struggles many believers carry is the feeling that they must “fix themselves” before God will accept them. We try harder, work more, discipline ourselves, and promise to change. But the harder we try to make ourselves righteous, the more we realise how impossible it truly is. The gospel was never a call to achieve righteousness. It was an invitation to receive it. Scripture teaches that righteousness is not something we create – it is something Christ compl

Jesus: Not Created, Not Made, but Truly Begotten of the Father At the centre of the Gospel is a relationship. Before the world existed, before angels or humanity, before time itself, the Bible describes a Father and His Son. Not a symbolic son, not a created being, and not a role they chose to play. A real Father and a real Son. This truth is woven through Scripture, yet often overlooked. Many believers know Jesus as Saviour, King and Redeemer, but fewer know Him in the way

Some passages in Scripture stop us in our tracks. Exodus 32 is one of them. The golden calf rebellion erupts, Moses returns from the mountain, and then we read something that seems impossible to reconcile with the Jesus revealed in the Gospels: “Thus says the Lord God of Israel: ‘Let every man put his sword on his side… and let every man kill his brother, every man his companion, and every man his neighbour.’” Exodus 32:27 Three thousand people die that day, not by foreign ar

There are moments in Scripture that challenge our understanding of God. Passages where He appears harsh, destructive, or even violent. Many people read these stories and feel confused and torn between a loving Father revealed by Jesus and a fearsome God portrayed by ancient writers. Paul spoke directly to this problem. He said a veil lies over the reading of the Old Testament. “But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of t

For many people, the idea that God might not destroy or kill can feel uncomfortable at first. It challenges beliefs we may have held for years, maybe even our whole lives. But there is a very important reason not to be afraid of exploring it. What we believe about God shapes how we relate to Him, and how others see Him through us. If God doesn’t kill, but I believed He did Then I may have spent my life: • Misrepresenting His character • Fearing Him instead of loving Him • Jus

Most Christians grow up hearing that God is three co-equal persons who together make up one God. The word Trinity becomes so familiar that few ever question whether it is actually written in Scripture. But when we set creeds aside and look at the Bible alone, something different emerges. The word Trinity does not appear in the Bible. And the Bible never describes God as three divine beings who form one God. Instead, Scripture consistently shows: There is one God, the Father H

Freedom, Hope and Purpose — Not Earned, But Freely Received Deep inside every person is a longing to be accepted. Many spend years trying to earn love and approval, especially from God. We try to act right, be strong, fix ourselves, keep every rule and hide every weakness. Some live in quiet fear that if they fail, God will step back from them. Others work endlessly to prove they are worthy of forgiveness. But the story of the Gospel is not about people climbing their way to

To understand the character of God, we must go back to the very beginning. Before anything went wrong, there was no fear in Eden. Adam and Eve walked with God freely. They trusted Him. They knew His voice. They felt safe in His presence. Nothing in their relationship was based on force or control. Everything was built on love. But everything changed when sin entered. It was not God who changed. It was humanity’s perception of God. The First Lie About God’s Character The serpe

One of the most common points of confusion in the Bible is this: God commands “You shall not kill”  (Exodus 20:13), and yet many passages seem to show God destroying people, nations, and even the whole world. If God prohibits killing, how do we make sense of verses that say He kills? Has God contradicted His own character? Or is there something deeper happening that we have misunderstood? This is not just a theological question. It affects how we see God. Is He loving and tru

For many Christians, the idea that a biblical writer could misunderstand God can feel uncomfortable. We have often been told that if a verse appears in Scripture it must perfectly express God’s mind, motives, and character. Yet the Bible itself reveals something honest and beautiful. God has always walked with humanity even while humanity was still learning who He really is. The Bible is inspired, but inspiration does not erase the humanity of the writers. God did not dictate

For thousands of years, many have carried a distorted picture of God, a distant ruler who blesses when pleased but destroys when angered. While religion has spoken much about love, it has often still taught people to obey out of fear, to perform in order to be accepted, and to assume that God turns against sinners the moment they fall. Because of this, many have learned to worship God while hiding from Him, afraid of His judgment rather than resting in His love. Yet Jesus ca
