Sabbath School Study Hour

'God calls us to witness for Him. Witnessing is not a special spiritual gift that only a select few possess. Witnessing is the divine calling of each Christian. For God, what matters isn’t so much what you have, but rather, what you do with what you have.'

'As we witness for Jesus, it is crucial to remember that we are cooperating with the Holy Spirit. He is there before us, preparing hearts to receive the message of the gospel.'

'When we pray for others, we become a channel of God’s blessing to them. He pours out the river of the water of life from heaven’s throne through us to them. Satan’s whole host trembles at the sound of earnest intercession.'

'By watching the way Jesus worked with people, we learn how to lead others to a knowledge of salvation through Jesus Christ. He saw each one through the eyes of divine compassion.'

'Why is knowing Christ personally so essential to our being able to witness about Him?'

'Why witness? When we understand who He is and have experienced the marvels of His grace and the power of His love, we cannot be silent.'

'The best method of studying the Bible is of no use if we are not determined to live by what we learn from Scripture. What is true for education in general is also true for studying the Bible in particular: you learn best not just by reading or hearing, but by practicing what you know.'

'In the Bible are many mysteries that finite human beings find difficult to comprehend and that are too deep for us to explain fully. This is why we need a humble mind, and should be willing to learn prayerfully from Scripture.'

'Prophecy provides an internal and external mechanism to confirm the accuracy of God’s Word.'

'The Bible is constituted in history. Biblical history moves in a linear direction from an absolute beginning, when God created all things, to an ultimate goal, when He will restore the earth at His Second Coming.'
