Biblical Truths - 1 - Who is the blind one?

"If you were blind, your wouldn't be guilty," Jesus replied. "But you remain guilty because you claim you can see."

John 9:41 NLT

In the beginning of John 9, we meet a man who was born blind. He is then healed by the power of Jesus, and then is questioned by Pharisees, He then meets Jesus and declares Him the Son of God. But there's a lesson in this story - about spiritual blindness. You see, this blind beggar accepted that he was a sinner (as all men have fallen short of God's glory) and was in need of help. Not only physical help (being blind), but also spiritual help, on the inside. Jesus wants us to learn that we need to accept that we need help before He can help us. If we don't, He cannot, just like in the Pharisees case. The Pharisees were blind and thought they could see and that just because they were descendants of Moses they needed no deliverance from sin, which is obviously not true. Jesus could not help these people because they didn't allow Him to heal them of their blindness, and therefore, like Jesus said, their sin remained.  Sometimes this is us. We don't allow Jesus to help us, or we can't see who He really is, because we are blind, just like the Pharisees.

I hope you learnt from this Biblical Truth post what spiritual blindness is and that you will let Jesus help you today!

Humble Is Best!

Direct my footsteps according to your Word; let no sin rule over me. Psalm 119:133  |  NIV   We need to let God's Word rule our lives, directing our footsteps on our journey through life. God is our Director leading us-even of the path LOOKS right, it doesn't mean it IS right. God knows best so we shouldn't be no-it-alls. Humble your self!

Black = Normal post Bold = Question  "Call unto Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." - Jeremiah 33:3.  Many people either don't believe in God, or become atheists, partly because of this question: Why doesn't God answer some of my prayers?  Answer: This is because of your heart. Before you ask this question you must ask yourself, am I pure? Have I sinned by mistake and need forgiveness? Or are my thoughts starting to make my light darken? Ask yourself these questions and their surely will be an answer.  But why must I ask myself these questions?  " So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart" - 2 Timothy 2:22    If we are not thinking good thoughts or have sinned by mistake or not, we have sta...

What makes faith work? Learn MORE about faith in this devotional...

"That according to the riches of His glory, He may grant you to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith..." - Ephesians 3:16-17 KJV Okay. I wanted to talk a little bit more on faith. When Paul writes 'dwell in your hearts through faith' what does it mean? This means that we have to show our confidence and belief in Christ, before He comes into our hearts. He knows when we want to trick Him or not. So don't bother being cunning! Because wisdom comes from the Lord! So, if our human efforts cannot make faith to work, what can? (Zechariah 4:6) Our confidence and belief in Jesus! We just have to say, "Jesus, take care of this for me. I don't want to any more. I can't do it by my own power." Acknowledging that you can't do it alone, gives you the first step forward. Then comes the hard bit. When I mean hard, I mean HARD. Because most people people fall away aft...
