Pathway to Eternal Life 2 By Ivan Ho 27 Oct 2020   Recently, someone said to me: “Isn’t it unfair that no matter what people have done in their lives, if they believe in Jesus they go to heaven, and if they don’t believe in Him they go to hell?” If that is your question as well, let me say this: “To believe in Jesus means you believe in who Jesus says He is, that He is the Son of God who came to earth about 2000 years ago and died for the sins of mankind, and that He was resurrected 3 days after. However, just because Jesus died for the sins of the world does not mean that everyone is saved automatically. Jesus says: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life” John 3:16 He goes on to say: “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does...

Pathway to Eternal Life 1 by Ivan Ho 26 Oct 2020   Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”John 3:3   When Jesus says “cannot” he means “can’t, no way, not possible…”. Unless a man is born again in his spirit, he cannot see the kingdom of God. If he cannot see the kingdom of God, he cannot enter in either. If he cannot see the kingdom of God, he is still in darkness. It doesn’t matter if he attends church regularly, sings in the choir, joins bible study classes, graduates from a seminary… if he is not born again, he does not belong to God’s kingdom. Nicodemus was a Pharisee, a religious group who try to adhere to the rules and regulations in the scriptures (plus rules they make up), but like most if not all Pharisees, he wasn’t yet born again....

Let Faith Arise by Ivan Ho 24 Oct 2020 By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised. Hebrews 11:11   FAITH is personal and not everyone has the same measure of faith. Faith is something that can be developed in a person. When Sarah was told she would give birth to a child at her old age, she initially laughed at the idea. She even caused much pain and troubles by setting up Hagar to have child with Abraham. But ultimately she too was vindicated by her faith in giving birth to Issac. A person who has no faith in the beginning can develop faith if he holds fast to the word spoken over his life. Without the word of God, there is no substance to base our faith on. God is not impressed by the abundance of religious activities we involve ourselves in, nor is he impressed...

Natural man vs spiritual man by Ivan Ho 23 Oct 2020 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.I Corinthians 2:14    A natural man (or woman) is one who relies on his natural senses to make judgement on things. He is basically a soulish person rather than spiritual irregardless of whether he is a believer of Christ or not. Every day we are bombarded with information from the natural world that influences our mindsets and emotions. Unfortunately a soulish person’s thinking and emotion is dictated by what he sees, what he feels, what he analyses through his natural senses. Eve “saw” that the tree was good for food, that it was “pleasant to the eyes”, and a tree “desirable” to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate....
