Title: The Greatest Counseling
Paul in today's text gives just one word of counsel to this Philippian jailer. “Believe on the Lord Jesus, and you and your household will be saved” is a simple answer. The truth lies in the simplicity. If the church does not give clear and simple answers to the world, it is because we are not convinced of the truth. Those with marriage problems will need professional marriage counseling, and those with business problems will need professional business advice, but on a more fundamental level, everyone believes in Jesus Christ as their Savior and has a relationship with Heavenly Father and God. Getting into the right relationship is important. Whether it is business, marriage, children, education, the first thing to do is that if I can enter into a right relationship with Heavenly Father through Jesus Christ, that can be the key to all other problems. Hallelujah.
So what if life's problems seem complicated among you? Life is inherently complicated. But you have to know that solving it starts with something simple. At the most basic level, am I relying on God today? Am I in Jesus or out of Jesus? “If I go away from the Savior Jesus, I will fall into sin.” Have I left the Savior Jesus? We must return to Jesus. 'I am very glad that I relied on the Savior Jesus, and I have no doubts because it has been granted.' We believe that it is the beginning of our lives, the beginning of help, the beginning of blessings, and the secret to a successful life. Hallelujah.
