Bible Questions and Answers

Are we all God's children in a spiritual battle?

We don’t become God’s children until we understand and believe the Gospel preached by Jesus and his apostles and are baptised into Christ by immersion in water. Galatians 3:26; 1 John 3:10; Romans 9:8

Following baptism, our battle is that of overcoming our natural desires and obeying the commandments of Jesus Christ. The battle is fought within ourselves. Mark 7:21-23; James 1:14-16; Romans 7:18-23;

Jesus speaks a parable about obeying his commandments:

Luke 6:46-49 "But why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do the things which I say? 47 "Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like: 48 "He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock. 49 "But he who heard and did nothing is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream beat vehemently; and immediately it fell. And the ruin of that house was great."

I hope you find this helpful.

God bless,
