We can know for certain if we apply ourselves.

Proverbs 22 v 17 Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge.
18 For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips.
19 That thy trust may be in the LORD, I have made known to thee this day, even to thee.
20 Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge,
21 That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that
 send unto thee?

Not everyone will humble themselves and really listen. God requires our full attention so we may know him. Only when we
 truly come to know the Lord, are we able to develop a relationship with him; that leads to a heart change. We can know for
certain the way of salvation. When questioned about our faith we can boldly speak the truth in love.

Proverbs 1 v 5 A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:

Proverbs 12 v 5 The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.

Isaiah 25 v 1 O LORD, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of
 old are faithfulness and truth.

2 Timothy 2 v 15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

When we rightly divide the word of truth, and get things in there correct context, we are more able to understand doctrine.

1 Peter 3 v 15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason
 of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

When Christ Jesus has his rightful place in our hearts, our lips will automatically want to share the good news of the gospel.
When ministering or listening to anyone at all, lets not forget the meekness and fear of the Lord!

PSALM 83.

Psalm 83 v 1   (A Song  or  Psalm of Asaph.) Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. 2  For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. 3  They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. 4  They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from  being  a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. 5  For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee: 6  The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes; 7  Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre; 8  Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah. 9  Do unto them as  unto  the Midianites; as  to  Sisera, as  to  Jabin, at the brook of Kison: 10  Which  perished at...

"THE GREATEST TRANSACTION" by AMRIK

The Greatest Transaction  The greatest transaction that a person can make; involves no hand phone, no internet connection, no dealing cost, no sales tax, it’s absolutely free! You may have made a vast fortune in stocks and shares like Warren Buffett but have you missed out on the real deal!  Matthew 16v26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul. The price for the greatest transaction ever made available to man was paid on the cross of Calvary. 2 Corinthians 5v21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.  What an offer!  Jesus took our sins on the cross and those who believe the Gospel receive the righteousness of Christ. Romans 5v18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgement came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification o...

BIBLICAL REPENTANCE AND SALVATION.

John 16 v 7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. 8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 Of sin, because they believe not on me; 10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; 11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. The Comforter also referred to as the Spirit of truth in John 16 v 13 is quite clearly the Holy Spirit. To reject Jesus and his atonement for salvation is a sin that cannot be forgiven. Jesus rose from the dead and ascended into Heaven because he alone lived a perfect, righteous, sinless life. To the natural man it is not clear who the prince of this world is. A look at Ephesians 2 v 2 and 2 Corinthians 4 v 4 will help us clearly identify him. Acts 20 v 20  And  h...
