God rewards faith, love, and courage when He finds it. Ruth is a beautiful example of someone who entered God's family from a background of idolatry and sin and was blessed.
The story of Zacchaeus is about the salvation of a soul. What Jesus did for him, He can do for each of us.
The early Christians aimed to not only be correct in doctrinal beliefs but also to be intense about living a Christ-like, holy life. Our goal, like theirs, is to balance belief with upright and holy behavior.
Simeon and Anna, two old saints of God, were among the first to recognize the baby Jesus for who He was. To them the Messiah's birth was truly glad tidings of great joy.
One of the recurring themes of the Bible is praise to God. Why is this?
When Jesus appeared to John in a vision He left him messages for seven of the churches of Asia. From these letters we see that God does not close His eyes to good or evil and that while the messages were to specific churches, they still apply to us today.
