Hebrews 4:12
The best book I ever received was The Holy Bible!
My father told me that the Bible is the best message that God has for us, his children, and
he told me about the great plan he has to save us from sin.
I was curious to review each book that the Bible contains and I would read the one that
fascinated me.
My father taught me that the word Bible? It comes from the Greek term, which means
"books." The Bible was written by different people such as prophets, disciples, men and
women who were inspired by the Holy Spirit.
By reading this beautiful book I came to understand that the Bible contains 66 books and

The Old Testament is the story of God's plan to bring about the redemption of man. At

David, and who are waiting for a redeemer. In short, they are ready to receive the one

I was running to my room because I had to finish reading the New Testament. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
My daughter! Don't forget to pray before and after reading, I heard my father say.

My father taught me that through prayer each of us can communicate with God. We should
pray wherever we have a need, or whenever we receive a blessing for which we should be
grateful to God. It can be during the day or at night, the time does not matter.

Many church members have found that it is good to dedicate a special time to prayer each
day.

and safe.
Who is God for you?
Isaiah 25:1 For many people, God does not exist. Others believe that God is a judge who has a
little notebook in his hand writing down all our failures and that on the day of our
death he will point out our sins and condemn us to death.
The Bible is the Word of God. In it God tells us to call him Father. God is a Father
full of love and goodness. The proof of this is that he sent his son Jesus Christ to
sacrifice himself for us, died in our place and thus paid the guilt of our sins. Thanks
to Christ's sacrifice, we have forgiveness of sins and the certainty of eternal life.
Therefore remember that God is your Father. He does not want to condemn you and
much less punish you because of your sins. In Christ he awaits you with open arms.
Accept his invitation today, and run into the arms of your heavenly Father.

not like that. We need each other not only for the continuation of the human
race but to support, build and bless the place where God has placed us.
It is said that "the family is the basis of society" and there is truth in this. A
society made up of families without values and without love will be a sick
society without a solid foundation. Healthy families in which their members
love, respect and care for each other will contribute to the growth and

As my father said; "Hope is the last thing you lose".
Romans 13:8 Most people understand hope as wishful thinking, something like, "I hope something
happens." This is not what the Bible implies by hope. The biblical definition of hope is
"sure expectation." Hope is a firm assurance regarding things that are unclear and unknown
(Romans 8:24-25; Hebrews 11:1, 7). Hope is a fundamental component of the life of the
righteous (Proverbs 23:17-18). Without hope, life loses its meaning (Lamentations 3:18;
Job 7:6), and in death there is no hope (Isaiah 38:18; Job 17:15). The righteous who trust or
put their hope in God will be helped (Psalm 28:7), and will not be confused, ashamed or
disappointed (Isaiah 49:23). The righteous, who have confident hope in God, have frequent
confidence in God's protection and help (Jeremiah 29:11) and are free from fear and anxiety

I asked God to guide me on this path to bring his message of love and to be able to save souls in the
darkness.

It was God who put that light of hope in that place and the correct path to follow as a true Christian.

Every day I prayed that that light in the desert would shine and that light of hope would never go

But we have a much more special “Bread” that “has come down from Heaven

Who taught us to ask for “our daily bread.” He is that Living Bread that came
