Does God know every single thing about what will happen next in our life on earth? If he knows, then does it means he knows our destiny (that we will go to heaven or hell)? (Ethiopia)
Isaiah 46:10 (CSB), "I declare the end from the beginning, and from long ago what is not yet done, saying: my plan will take place, and I will do all my will.” In 1 John 3:1-2, the Apostle John is addressing the Sons of God, those who are spirit-begotten Christians. Verse 20 reads, “For if our [...]
Does God know what we are thinking and what we are about to do? (Zambia)
The answer is yes. God is all-knowing. He knows the end from the beginning. He can read our hearts and know the true motives for why we do the things we do. For example, God knew what Cain was planning to do before he did it, and counseled him against it. But out of jealousy, [...]

If man’s law is in opposition to God’s scriptures, we must obey God. Meeting with fellow believers is directed by God. Hebrews 10:24-25 (RSV), “let us consider how to stir [...]
Please explain the parable of the hidden treasure and the parable of the pearl. (Zambia)
Matthew 13:44. These two parables are similar in nature, both refer to something precious, yet there are differences.
