How can we know what God values?
God has revealed his value system, although many have
misunderstood or misrepresented it. Only through an
examination of the Gospel of the Kingdom can we know
God's value system. We must be very sure we
understand the Gospel without adding or subtracting
from it, because if we fail to clearly comprehend the
teachings of Jesus, we will be severely hindered in
knowing and becoming like him.
Why is there so much conflict in and among churches?
Why do Christians bicker among themselves?
Why are Christian marriages floundering?
It is because we have drifted away from the Gospel Jesus taught.
By doing so we have not only adopted the values of the world, but we
have also abandoned Christian definitions of forgiveness and
relationship.
We fail because we do not realize that we are living the world's value
system.
We need to regain an understanding of the Gospel that Jesus taught
and the value system of his Kingdom. Without it, we will continue to
fail in relationships because our relationships are not based on God's
value system.
