Ok, so here it is the very first WordofTruth blog Bible Tip!!!
Did you know that every scripture in the bible is linked together or connected in the Spirit? Well it is! Just like the internet connecting links from one website to another, the scriptures in the bible are connected to each other!
"It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life." -John 6:63
Some times you will often see a scripture from the bible quoted by itself. It is a very important meaningful scripture, but there is always a much deeper meaning than what we see at first glance. When we learn how to prayerfully look at the references associated with that scripture then we will be able to grow in a deeper way with God!
"Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you." -Proverbs 1:23
Here is a good example of two different scriptures that can work together to make a strong and meaningful point.:
"And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart." -Jeremiah 29:13 ...and:
" 6But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." -Hebrews 11:6
Do you see how both of these scriptures are linked? They are both encouraging us to look for God? He promises to reward us when we do! The reward is finding God!

It really makes a big impact and a difference in the lives of people when we think of others. Even the ones out there in blog land who we may not know. So thank you, whoever you are.

21For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." -Matthew 6:19-21

Matthew 6:24-34
" 24No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
25Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
26Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
31Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." -Matthew 6:24-34
25Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

Connection between John 7:38 and Hebrews 11:6
"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." -Hebrews 11:6
There is a connection that I would like to point out between these two scriptures John 7:38 and Hebrews 11:6. Since I was writing a little about John 7:38 yesterday with the emphasis on believing in God as the scripture says.
A lot of people know that the Bible tells us to pray. But we are not to leave it at that. When we look at Hebrews 11:6 we see that it is encouraging us to diligently seek him. So if we are obeying John 7:38 then we are going to put more into our prayer time when we also take Hebrews 11:6 to heart.

More about John 7:38
More about John 7:38 and what it means to believe in God as the scripture says.
So what does the scripture say. We can start with the deity of Jesus Christ, His work, Life, and ministry which includes His death, burial, and resurrection. The Bible says in the gospel of John 1:1 that in the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Then in the same chapter verse 14 it says, the Word became flesh and dwelt among men. This is speaking of Jesus, that He is God born of a virgin. The scripture goes on to say all the other things I mentioned above about his life and ministry. If we know and believe that He is the Son of God then we should take His teachings to heart as such. We should believe that everything He says is true. In fact "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." -John 14:6
All these things that the bible says about Jesus, we must accept as pure truth. When it says He rose from the grave after three days of being dead and buried. It means just that. He physically came back to life and came out of the grave! I believe it!
These are just the simple basics of beginning to believe in God as the scripture says. There are many more things that we can learn about as we live our lives choosing to believe in Him and following after Him. He loves us so let us not ignore that. Lets respond to that love by giving our lives to listening to Him.
It really is not hard to believe the way God wants us to.
