Truth For Life Blog

Dear Friend,

One of the benefits of living in Cleveland is being able to enjoy the seasons. Some days I feel envious of those who are in short sleeves while I’m adding another layer. Today the ground is blanketed in snow. There is hardly a hint of green and even the birds seem to be singing in a minor key. But beneath the surface there is life, unseen but real and growing. In a matter of a few weeks, it will be apparent as we enjoy the beauty of spring.

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.” Alistair Begg explains that the fear of the Lord is humility, trust, confidence, and obedience grounded in the love that He has shown us in Christ. Because the Lord Jesus is the wisdom and righteousness of God, true wisdom can only be found in knowing Him. The duty of Christian parents is to train children in godly wisdom so that they are equipped with a foundation for living and hope for the future.

Although too frequently we fail to admit it, the cry of the human heart is “Help!” Alistair Begg reminds us that the Christian’s help comes from God, whose knowledge, power, and ability to save are unlimited. Whether we are experiencing comfort or difficulty, we can be confident that in all of life, we can rest in the providential care of our Father, who works in all things for good.

Paul wrote to the Ephesians that their unity was grounded in “one faith,” but what does biblical faith look like? Alistair Begg explains that the Christian faith is more than confidence. Built upon the foundation of Christ’s work, faith is a gift of God received by the power of the Holy Spirit as a result of the faithful preaching of God’s Word, and our continuance in faith is evidence of our union with Christ.
