\"\"<\/a>We must receive the Word of God as the Word of God, the simple truths of the Gospel of God as they are presented to us by Jesus. The apostles were no theologians. They were simple fishermen. But the whole world was saved through their preaching. Human pride and philosophizing is absurd. The Word of God is connected with mystery. Human reason must be conformed to the Word of God, then it can govern the will, and emotions come last. If we reverse the order and cast away the relationship with God founded on faith, everything in our life is turned upside down. This is the result of our pride. Many people have no experience of spiritual battle and of the cunning of human nature but they set norms and invent theories without ever trying them out in practice. However, we must know the reality which God reveals to us. If we follow Him in earnest and take His Word seriously, if we deny ourselves and take up our cross, God gives us true wisdom and true knowledge, as the Apostle Paul says: \u201cWe do not preach the wisdom of the world but the wisdom of God.\u201d<\/em> Every Christian should have such wisdom.<\/p>\n

There is only one thing in theology we need to know, the most essential one: By His death, Christ redeemed us and reconciled us to God. He gave His life as a ransom for many.<\/p>\n

Jesus died for all, but not all will be saved, only those who have received Jesus: \u201cAs many as received Him, to them He gave power to become children of God.\u201d<\/em> Only those who believe will be saved. We obtain salvation through faith. Therefore it is necessary to preach the nature of the Gospel \u2013 Christ and His salvation. The Holy Spirit gives us the strength and true wisdom, not the wisdom of the world but the wisdom of God. We receive strength when we follow Christ with perseverance, pray and read God\u2019s Word. Then, God gives us strength and true wisdom if we try to put this Word into practice in the fight against lies, in other words if we try to be sincere, seek God in our weakness and try to live in God\u2019s presence.<\/p>\n
