False Teachings
The word doctrine means “teaching.” Christian doctrine is the central body of teachings about God, the gospel, and the Christian faith. These doctrines are the truths passed down through the generations as “the faith that was once for all entrusted to God’s holy people” (Jude 1:3). Scripture provides the litmus test believers can use to judge doctrine as either true or false. If a belief or teaching agrees with the Word of God, it is sound doctrine. If it contradicts Scripture, it is a false doctrine.
The Bible tells us that God, by His character, is truth—He is entirely truthful and trustworthy (Deuteronomy 32:4; 2 Chronicles 15:3; John 14:6, 17; 1 John 5:20). God’s Word is truth (John 17:17; Psalm 18:30; 119:151). He cannot tell a lie (Hebrews 6:18; Numbers 23:19). The Bible also reveals that God is unchanging and unchangeable in His nature, His plan, and His being (Malachi 3:6; 1 Samuel 15:29; Hebrews 13:8; James 1:17). Because God does not change, believers can trust that truth will never change, and neither will doctrine based on truth. It can always be relied upon as the foundation of the principles and beliefs of our faith. We can defend our faith and build our lives on God’s rock-solid, unchanging truth.
The standard for discerning truth from error has always been the Word of God. When the people of Isaiah’s day were tempted to heed false teachers, the prophet pointed them to Scripture: “Look to God’s instructions and teachings! People who contradict his word are completely in the dark” (Isaiah 8:20, NLT). The objective measure of God’s Word is how we judge doctrine as either true or false.
Sadly, many churches construct their doctrinal positions on shaky ground. Erroneous teachings occur when the Bible is ignored, dismissed, or mishandled, in whole or in part. We must carefully consider the Scripture’s whole teaching on any given subject. Understanding the context includes studying the literal meaning of the words, placing them in their proper historical and cultural setting, and comparing the teaching with other related passages in the Bible.
Misapplied teachings are nothing new. Jesus rebuked the scribes and Pharisees for “teaching as doctrines the commandments of men” (Mark 7:7, ESV; cf. Isaiah 29:13). False doctrines were rampant in New Testament times, and the Scriptures tell us they will continue to be taught (Matthew 7:15; 2 Peter 2:1; 1 John 4:1). Paul warns, “For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear” (2 Timothy 4:3).
Paul was astonished by those in Galatia who were “turning to a different gospel—which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse! As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God’s curse!” (Galatians 1:6–9).
If our doctrine is based soundly on Scripture, we can know we are walking in the path God designed for us. However, if we do not study the Word of God for ourselves (2 Timothy 2:15), we risk being led easily into error. Paul taught that an elder of the church must hold firmly to God’s truth “so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it” (Titus 1:9, ESV; see also Titus 2:1). Those who do not hold to sound doctrine should be quickly spotted by their ungodly actions (Titus 1:16; 1 Timothy 1:10).
The Bible includes a solemn warning not to add to or remove anything from God’s Word (Revelation 22:18-19). Instead, Paul urges us to “hold on to the pattern of wholesome teaching you learned from me—a pattern shaped by the faith and love that you have in Christ Jesus” (2 Timothy 1:13, NLT).
Sound biblical doctrine refers to teachings that align with the revealed Word of God, the Bible. False doctrines are ideas that add to, take away from, contradict, or nullify the teachings given in God’s Word. For example, any teaching that denies Jesus Christ’s virgin birth is a false doctrine because it contradicts the clear teaching of Matthew 1:18–25. We can judge doctrines that refute the existence of hell as false based on Revelation 20:15, 2 Thessalonians 1:8, and Christ’s own words in Matthew 10:28 and 25:46. Teachings that claim there are many paths to God are directly opposed to the truth that Jesus is the only way of salvation (John 6:35; 10:7; 11:25; 14:6).
The better we know God’s Word, the more equipped we will be to judge doctrine and discern whether it is true or false, sound or in error (Matthew 22:29; Romans 15:4; 1 Peter 2:2; 2 Timothy 3:15). We should be discerning, as the Bereans were in Acts 17:11: “They . . . examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.” When we follow the lead of the first Christians, we will go far in avoiding the pitfalls of false doctrine. Acts 2:42 sets the standard: “They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.” Such devotion will protect us and ensure we stay on the path Jesus set for us.
Valse Onderrig
Die woord leerstelling beteken “onderrig”. Christelike leerstelling is die sentrale liggaam van leerstellings oor God, die evangelie en die Christelike geloof. Hierdie leerstellings is die waarhede wat deur die geslagte oorgedra word as “die geloof wat eenmaal en vir altyd aan God se heilige volk toevertrou is” (Judas 1:3). Die Skrif verskaf die lakmoestoets wat gelowiges kan gebruik om leerstellings as waar of vals te beoordeel. As ‘n oortuiging of leerstelling ooreenstem met die Woord van God, is dit gesonde leerstelling. As dit die Skrif weerspreek, is dit ‘n valse leerstelling.
Die Bybel sê vir ons dat God, volgens Sy karakter, waarheid is—Hy is volkome waaragtig en betroubaar (Deuteronomium 32:4; 2 Kronieke 15:3; Johannes 14:6, 17; 1 Johannes 5:20). God se Woord is waarheid (Johannes 17:17; Psalm 18:30; 119:151). Hy kan nie ‘n leuen vertel nie (Hebreërs 6:18; Numeri 23:19). Die Bybel openbaar ook dat God onveranderlik en onveranderlik is in Sy aard, Sy plan en Sy wese (Maleagi 3:6; 1 Samuel 15:29; Hebreërs 13:8; Jakobus 1:17). Omdat God nie verander nie, kan gelowiges vertrou dat die waarheid nooit sal verander nie, en ook nie leerstellings wat op waarheid gebaseer is nie. Dit kan altyd as die fondament van die beginsels en oortuigings van ons geloof vertrou word. Ons kan ons geloof verdedig en ons lewens bou op God se rotsvaste, onveranderlike waarheid.
Die standaard om waarheid van dwaling te onderskei, was nog altyd die Woord van God. Toe die mense van Jesaja se tyd in die versoeking gekom het om na valse leraars te luister, het die profeet hulle na die Skrif gewys: “Kyk na God se instruksies en leringe! Mense wat sy woord weerspreek, is heeltemal in die duister” (Jesaja 8:20, NLT). Die objektiewe maatstaf van God se Woord is hoe ons leerstellings as waar of vals beoordeel.
Ongelukkig bou baie kerke hul leerstellige posisies op wankelrige grond. Foutiewe leringe vind plaas wanneer die Bybel geïgnoreer, verwerp of verkeerd hanteer word, in geheel of gedeeltelik. Ons moet die hele Skrif se lering oor enige gegewe onderwerp noukeurig oorweeg. Om die konteks te verstaan, sluit in die bestudering van die letterlike betekenis van die woorde, die plasing daarvan in hul behoorlike historiese en kulturele konteks, en die vergelyking van die lering met ander verwante gedeeltes in die Bybel.
Verkeerd toegepaste leringe is niks nuuts nie. Jesus het die skrifgeleerdes en Fariseërs bestraf omdat hulle “leerstellings geleer het wat gebooie van mense is” (Markus 7:7; vgl. Jesaja 29:13). Valse leringe was algemeen in Nuwe-Testamentiese tye, en die Skrif sê vir ons dat hulle steeds geleer sal word (Matteus 7:15; 2 Petrus 2:1; 1 Johannes 4:1). Paulus waarsku: “Want daar sal ‘n tyd kom wanneer die mense die gesonde leer nie sal verdra nie, maar in plaas daarvan ‘n groot aantal leraars sal versamel, volgens hulle eie begeerlikhede, sodat hulle kan sê wat hulle ore wil hoor” (2 Timoteus 4:3).
Paulus was verbaas oor diegene in Galasië wat hulle “tot ’n ander evangelie gewend het – wat eintlik glad nie ’n evangelie is nie. Blykbaar bring sommige mense julle in verwarring en probeer hulle die evangelie van Christus verdraai. Maar al sou ons of ’n engel uit die hemel ’n ander evangelie verkondig as die een wat ons aan julle verkondig het, laat hulle onder die vloek van God wees! Soos ons reeds gesê het, sê ek nou weer: As iemand aan julle ’n ander evangelie verkondig as wat julle aangeneem het, laat hulle onder die vloek van God wees!” (Galasiërs 1:6–9).
As ons leerstelling stewig op die Skrif gebaseer is, kan ons weet dat ons die pad volg wat God vir ons ontwerp het. As ons egter nie self die Woord van God bestudeer nie (2 Timoteus 2:15), loop ons die risiko om maklik in die dwaal te lei. Paulus het geleer dat ‘n ouderling van die kerk vas moet hou aan God se waarheid “sodat hy in staat kan wees om onderrig in die gesonde leer te gee en ook om die wat dit weerspreek, te bestraf” (Titus 1:9, ESV; sien ook Titus 2:1). Diegene wat nie aan die gesonde leer vashou nie, moet vinnig raakgesien word deur hul goddelose dade (Titus 1:16; 1 Timoteus 1:10).
Die Bybel bevat ‘n ernstige waarskuwing om niks by God se Woord te voeg of daarvan weg te neem nie (Openbaring 22:18-19). In plaas daarvan spoor Paulus ons aan om “vas te hou aan die voorbeeld van gesonde leer wat jy van my geleer het, ‘n voorbeeld wat gevorm word deur die geloof en liefde wat jy in Christus Jesus het” (2 Timoteus 1:13, NLT).
Gesonde Bybelse leerstellings verwys na leringe wat ooreenstem met die geopenbaarde Woord van God, die Bybel. Valse leerstellings is idees wat byvoeg tot, wegneem van, weerspreek of die leringe in God se Woord nietig verklaar. Byvoorbeeld, enige lering wat Jesus Christus se maagdelike geboorte ontken, is ‘n valse leerstelling omdat dit die duidelike lering van Matteus 1:18–25 weerspreek. Ons kan leerstellings wat die bestaan van die hel weerlê as vals beoordeel op grond van Openbaring 20:15, 2 Tessalonisense 1:8, en Christus se eie woorde in Matteus 10:28 en 25:46. Leringe wat beweer dat daar baie paaie na God is, is direk teenstrydig met die waarheid dat Jesus die enigste weg van verlossing is (Johannes 6:35; 10:7; 11:25; 14:6).
Hoe beter ons God se Woord ken, hoe beter toegerus sal ons wees om leerstellings te beoordeel en te onderskei of dit waar of vals, gegrond of verkeerd is (Matteus 22:29; Romeine 15:4; 1 Petrus 2:2; 2 Timoteus 3:15). Ons moet onderskeidend wees, soos die Bereane in Handelinge 17:11 was: “Hulle het … elke dag die Skrifte ondersoek om te sien of wat Paulus gesê het, waar was.” Wanneer ons die leiding van die eerste Christene volg, sal ons ver kom om die slaggate van valse leerstellings te vermy. Handelinge 2:42 stel die standaard: “Hulle het hulle toewyding aan die leer van die apostels en aan die gemeenskap, aan die breking van brood en aan gebed.” Sulke toewyding sal ons beskerm en verseker dat ons op die pad bly wat Jesus vir ons gestel het.

Bible Teaching of the Day
Jesus Lifted Up ?
If I be lifted up is part of a statement by Jesus Christ in John 12:32: “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me” (John 12:32, KJV). A better understanding of these words can be gained by reading more modern language translations of the Bible like the English Standard Version, New International Version, or the New Living Translation, which renders it as, “When I am lifted up.”
Further explanation of what Jesus meant when He said, “If I be lifted up,” is given by John, the author of the gospel. He added a comment in the next verse to clarify that Jesus said this “to show the kind of death he was going to die” (John 12:33). The “lifting up” of Jesus would be literal—Christ would be lifted up on a cross and die by crucifixion.
This section of Scripture follows right after the Lord’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Some Greeks who were present in the city for the Passover feast were drawn to Jesus and sought to speak with Him. Jesus took the occasion to speak of His impending death and its results. The crucifixion moved to the forefront of Christ’s focus. Jesus knew His death would bring life to many, but His heart was troubled. He declared His concerns in prayer, asking the Father to glorify His name through His crucifixion (John 12:20–28).
Suddenly a voice from heaven answered Jesus: “I have glorified it, and will glorify it again” (John 12:28). The crowd heard the thundering sound, and Jesus explained that the heavenly message was for their benefit, because God was getting ready to judge the world. Once Jesus died by crucifixion, victory over death and over the ruler of this world (Satan) would be complete. By being lifted up on the cross, Jesus would draw all people to Himself (verses 30–32).
Jesus wasn’t implying that every person without exception would put their faith in Him for salvation. Clearly, many did not. Jesus meant that people of all ethnic groups and from every part of the world would be drawn to Him through His exaltation in death. The “all people” included the Greeks who were seeking Jesus right then and listening to His voice.
When Jesus said, “I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself,” His primary reference was to the cross, but His words also include the resurrection and ascension in its meaning. Christ’s death, resurrection, and ascension are all linked to His glorious exaltation and the drawing of sinners to Himself (Romans 6:9–10; 1 Peter 3:18–22; Revelation 1:18). But it is the cross that is the centerpiece of the gospel and the magnetizing force of Christianity. Jesus Christ’s death on the cross, in all its magnitude of meaning revealed by the power of the Holy Spirit to human hearts, appeals to the whole wide world. No class, social status, race, nationality, sex, or age group is excluded from its attraction.
At the cross, we encounter God’s justice through the judgment of sin, God’s love and mercy through the forgiveness of sinners, and God’s power through His defeat of Satan (Romans 3:21–26; Colossians 1:13). At the cross, Christ brings salvation to those who believe and judgment to those who refuse to believe. In God’s wisdom and holiness, the cross opens the only way to the Father for sinners (John 14:6). At the cross, Jesus sets us free from the chains of sin. The lifting up of Jesus on the cross is the captivating influence that pulls human hearts to Him.
Earlier in John’s gospel, Jesus had said, “Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him” (John 3:14–15). The bronze snake raised up in the wilderness became a type—a prophetic symbol—of Jesus Christ’s crucifixion. As the serpent on Moses’ staff was raised up to offer deliverance and healing, so, too, would Jesus eventually be lifted up on a cross to offer eternal life. The snake was elevated on a pole so that all of Israel could see it and be healed, just as Jesus was lifted up on the cross so that all might see Him and be drawn to Him for salvation.
Bybel Lering vir die Dag
Jesus Verhoog?
“As Ek verhoog word” is deel van ‘n stelling deur Jesus Christus in Johannes 12:32: “En Ek, as Ek van die aarde verhoog word, sal almal na My toe trek” (Johannes 12:32). ‘n Beter begrip van hierdie woorde kan verkry word deur meer moderne vertalings van die Bybel te lees, soos die Engelse Standaardweergawe, Nuwe Internasionale Weergawe of die Nuwe Lewende Vertaling, wat dit vertaal as: “Wanneer Ek verhoog word.”
Verdere verduideliking van wat Jesus bedoel het toe Hy gesê het: “As Ek verhoog word,” word gegee deur Johannes, die outeur van die evangelie. Hy het ‘n opmerking in die volgende vers bygevoeg om te verduidelik dat Jesus dit gesê het “om te wys watter soort dood Hy sou sterwe” (Johannes 12:33). Die “verhoging” van Jesus sou letterlik wees – Christus sou aan ‘n kruis verhoog word en deur kruisiging sterf.
Hierdie gedeelte van die Skrif volg direk na die Here se triomfantlike intog in Jerusalem. Sommige Grieke wat in die stad teenwoordig was vir die Paasfees, is na Jesus getrek en het probeer om met Hom te praat. Jesus het die geleentheid gebruik om oor Sy dreigende dood en die gevolge daarvan te praat. Die kruisiging het na die voorgrond van Christus se fokus verskuif. Jesus het geweet Sy dood sou lewe vir baie bring, maar Sy hart was ontsteld. Hy het Sy bekommernisse in gebed verklaar en die Vader gevra om Sy Naam deur Sy kruisiging te verheerlik (Johannes 12:20–28).
Skielik het ‘n stem uit die hemel Jesus geantwoord: “Ek het dit verheerlik en sal dit weer verheerlik” (Johannes 12:28). Die skare het die donderende geluid gehoor, en Jesus het verduidelik dat die hemelse boodskap tot hulle voordeel was, want God was gereed om die wêreld te oordeel. Sodra Jesus deur kruisiging gesterf het, sou die oorwinning oor die dood en oor die heerser van hierdie wêreld (Satan) volledig wees. Deur aan die kruis opgehef te word, sou Jesus alle mense na Homself trek (verse 30–32).
Jesus het nie geïmpliseer dat elke persoon sonder uitsondering hul geloof in Hom vir verlossing sou plaas nie. Dit is duidelik dat baie nie gedoen het nie. Jesus het bedoel dat mense van alle etniese groepe en van elke deel van die wêreld na Hom getrek sou word deur Sy verhoging in die dood. Die “almal” het die Grieke ingesluit wat Jesus op daardie oomblik gesoek het en na Sy stem geluister het.
Toe Jesus gesê het: “Ek, as Ek van die aarde verhoog word, sal al die volke na My toe trek,” was Sy primêre verwysing na die kruis, maar Sy woorde sluit ook die opstanding en hemelvaart in sy betekenis in. Christus se dood, opstanding en hemelvaart is almal gekoppel aan Sy glorieryke verhoging en die trek van sondaars na Homself (Romeine 6:9–10; 1 Petrus 3:18–22; Openbaring 1:18). Maar dit is die kruis wat die middelpunt van die evangelie en die magnetiserende krag van die Christendom is. Jesus Christus se dood aan die kruis, in al sy omvang van betekenis, geopenbaar deur die krag van die Heilige Gees aan menslike harte, spreek die hele wye wêreld aan. Geen klas, sosiale status, ras, nasionaliteit, geslag of ouderdomsgroep word van sy aantrekkingskrag uitgesluit nie.
Aan die kruis ontmoet ons God se geregtigheid deur die oordeel van sonde, God se liefde en genade deur die vergifnis van sondaars, en God se krag deur Sy nederlaag van Satan (Romeine 3:21–26; Kolossense 1:13). Aan die kruis bring Christus verlossing aan diegene wat glo en oordeel aan diegene wat weier om te glo. In God se wysheid en heiligheid maak die kruis die enigste weg na die Vader vir sondaars oop (Johannes 14:6). Aan die kruis bevry Jesus ons van die kettings van sonde. Die opheffing van Jesus aan die kruis is die boeiende invloed wat menslike harte na Hom trek.
Vroeër in Johannes se evangelie het Jesus gesê: “Net soos Moses die slang in die woestyn opgehef het, so moet die Seun van die mens opgehef word, sodat elkeen wat glo, die ewige lewe in Hom kan hê” (Johannes 3:14–15). Die brons slang wat in die woestyn opgerig is, het ‘n tipe – ‘n profetiese simbool – van Jesus Christus se kruisiging geword. Soos die slang aan Moses se staf verhef is om verlossing en genesing te bied, so sou Jesus uiteindelik aan ‘n kruis verhef word om die ewige lewe te bied. Die slang is aan ‘n paal verhef sodat die hele Israel dit kon sien en genees kon word, net soos Jesus aan die kruis verhef is sodat almal Hom kon sien en na Hom getrek kon word vir verlossing.
Today’s Devotional
Your Wisdom need to be from God ONLY
The word divination comes from the Latin divinare, meaning “to foresee” or “to be inspired by a god.” To practice divination is to uncover hidden knowledge by supernatural means. It is associated with the occult and involves fortune-telling or soothsaying, as it used to be called.
From ancient times, people have used divination to gain knowledge of the future or as a way to make money. The practice continues as those who claim supernatural insight read palms, tea leaves, tarot cards, star charts, and more.
God tells us His view of divination in Deuteronomy 18:10: “There shall not be found among you . . . anyone who practices divination or tells fortunes or interprets omens.” First Samuel 15:23 compares rebellion to the “sin of divination.”
Practicing divination is listed as one of the reasons for Israel’s exile (2 Kings 17:17). Jeremiah 14:14 spoke of the false prophets of the time, saying, “They are prophesying to you a lying vision, worthless divination, and the deceit of their own minds.” So, compared to God’s truth, divination is false, deceitful, and worthless.
As Luke traveled with Paul and Silas in the city of Philippi, he recorded an encounter with a diviner: “We were met by a slave girl who had a spirit of divination and brought her owners much gain by fortune-telling” (Acts 16:16). The girl’s ability to penetrate mysteries was due to a demon that controlled her. Her masters received “much gain” from their slave. Paul eventually exorcised the demon (verse 18), freeing the girl from her spiritual bondage and angering the slave owners (verse 19).
Divination in any form is sin. It is not harmless entertainment or an alternate source of wisdom. Christians should avoid any practice related to divination, including fortune-telling, astrology, witchcraft, tarot cards, necromancy, and spell-casting. The spirit world is real, but it is not innocent. According to Scripture, those spirits that are not the Holy Spirit or angels are evil spirits.
Christians need not fear the spirits involved in divination; neither are Christians to seek wisdom from them. The Christian’s wisdom comes from God (James 1:5).
Vandag se Bemoediging
Jou wysheid moet Net van God af wees !
Die woord waarsêery kom van die Latynse woord divinare, wat beteken “om te voorsien” of “om deur ‘n god geïnspireer te word”. Om waarsêery te beoefen, is om verborge kennis deur bonatuurlike middele te ontdek. Dit word geassosieer met die okkulte en behels fortuinvertellery of waarsêery, soos dit vroeër genoem is.
Van antieke tye af het mense waarsêery gebruik om kennis van die toekoms te verkry of as ‘n manier om geld te maak. Die praktyk duur voort soos diegene wat bonatuurlike insig beweer, palms, teeblare, tarotkaarte, sterrekaarte en meer lees.
God vertel ons Sy siening van waarsêery in Deuteronomium 18:10: “Daar mag niemand onder jou gevind word nie … wat waarsêery beoefen of fortuinvertellers of voortekens uitlê nie.” 1 Samuel 15:23 vergelyk rebellie met die “sonde van waarsêery”.
Die beoefening van waarsêery word gelys as een van die redes vir Israel se ballingskap (2 Konings 17:17). Jeremia 14:14 het van die valse profete van die tyd gepraat en gesê: “Hulle profeteer vir julle ‘n leuenagtige gesig, waardelose waarsêery en die bedrog van hulle eie gedagtes.” Dus, in vergelyking met God se waarheid, is waarsêery vals, bedrieglik en waardeloos.
Terwyl Lukas saam met Paulus en Silas in die stad Filippi gereis het, het hy ‘n ontmoeting met ‘n waarsêer opgeteken: “Ons is teëgekom deur ‘n slavin wat ‘n waarsêende gees gehad het en vir haar eienaars groot wins deur fortuinvertellery bewerkstellig het” (Handelinge 16:16). Die meisie se vermoë om geheime te deurgrond, was te danke aan ‘n demoon wat haar beheer het. Haar eienaars het “groot wins” van hul slaaf ontvang. Paulus het uiteindelik die demoon uitgedryf (vers 18), die meisie van haar geestelike slawerny bevry en die slawe-eienaars kwaad gemaak (vers 19).
Waarsêery in enige vorm is sonde. Dit is nie onskadelike vermaak of ‘n alternatiewe bron van wysheid nie. Christene moet enige praktyk wat verband hou met waarsêery vermy, insluitend fortuinvertellery, astrologie, heksery, tarotkaarte, nekromansie en towerspreuke. Die geesteswêreld is werklik, maar dit is nie onskuldig nie. Volgens die Skrif is daardie geeste wat nie die Heilige Gees of engele is nie, bose geeste.
Christene hoef nie die geeste wat betrokke is by waarsêery te vrees nie; Christene moet ook nie wysheid van hulle soek nie. Die Christen se wysheid kom van God (Jakobus 1:5).

Tweede Beste ?
Lea het waarskynlik die hele nag wakkergelê en gedink aan die oomblik as haar nuwe eggenoot wakker word en haar gesig sou sien. Sy het geweet dit was nie haar gesig wat hy sou verwag nie, maar Ragel s’n. Jakob is bedrieg en toe hy besef dat hy ń slagoffer van bedrog was, het hy gou ń nuwe ooreenkoms met Laban aangegaan om die vrou wat aan hom beloof is, te verkry ( Gen 29:25-27 ).
Het jy al ooit onbelangrik of tweede beste gevoel ? Arme Lea het so gevoel. Dit word gesien in die name wat sy haar eerste drie seuns gegee het ( vs 31-35 ). Ruben beteken my smart raakgesien, Simeon beteken hoor en Levi verbonde wees.
Hulle name was woordspeling op haar gevoelens van verworpenheid en die feit dat Jakob haar nie liefgehad het nie. Met die geboorte van elke seun het die hoop opgevlam dat sy Jakob se liefde kon verdien. Maar gaandeweg het Lea se houding verander. Haar vierde seun Juda, se naam beteken lofprysing. Alhoewel sy steeds gevoel het dat sy nie die liefde van Jakob geniet nie, het sy besef dat God haar baie liefhet.
Ons kan nooit die liefde van God verdien nie, want dis nie afhanklik van wat ons doen nie. Om die waarheid te sê, die Bybel vertel ons dat Christus vir ons gesterf het toe ons nog sondaars was ( Rom 5:8 ). In God se oë is ons kosbaar en Hy gee ons die beste wat die Hemel kan offer, die gawe van sy kosbare Seun.
Niks spreek duideliker van God se liefde vir ons nie, as die kruis op Golgota.
Vroue in die Bybel—Wat kan ons by hulle leer?
Vandag – Maria Magdalena
Wie was Maria Magdalena? Sy was ‘n lojale dissipel van Jesus.
Wat het sy gedoen? Maria Magdalena was een van verskeie vroue wat saam met Jesus en sy dissipels gereis het. Sy het haar eie fondse vrygewig gebruik om in hulle behoeftes te voorsien. (Lukas 8:1-3) Sy het Jesus tot die einde van sy bediening gevolg, en sy het naby gebly toe hy tereggestel is. Sy het die voorreg gehad om onder die eerstes te wees wat Jesus gesien het nadat hy opgewek is.—Johannes 20:11-18.
Wat kan ons by Maria leer? Maria Magdalena het Jesus se bediening vrygewig ondersteun en ‘n toegewyde dissipel gebly.

What did she do? Mary Magdalene was one of several women who traveled with Jesus and his disciples. She generously used her own funds to help care for their needs. (Luke 8:1-3) She followed Jesus till the end of his ministry, and she remained close by when he was executed. She had the privilege of being among the first to see Jesus after he was resurrected.—John 20:11-18.
What can we learn from Mary? Mary Magdalene generously supported Jesus’ ministry and remained a devoted disciple.

SECRET MEETING: Saudi Defense Minister Visits Trump, Sees ‘Eye-to-Eye’ on Israel and Iran
Read Now
Saudi Arabia’s Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman met with US President Donald Trump on Thursday in a secret meeting at the White House, which covered Iran de-escalation talks, a Gaza ceasefire, hostage release, and Israel normalization.
Khalid, the brother of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, focused on strategies to encourage Iran to come to the negotiating table following a 12-day war during which Israel and the US damaged the country’s nuclear facilities.
The meeting also covered ending the war in Gaza and securing the release of 50 hostages, alive and deceased.
The agenda also included discussions about normalization with Israel and what steps were necessary to allow Saudi Arabia and Israel to establish diplomatic ties.
Sources also said, “There was progress and optimism on all fronts.”
The Saudis and the United States are in the process of finalizing a defense and trade agreement, and sources report that the two sides “see eye-to-eye” on all issues.
During a Middle East trip in May, President Trump compromised on an earlier demand that the Saudis normalize relations with Israel as a condition for civil nuclear cooperation talks between the US and Saudi Arabia.
Republican senator Lindsey Graham criticized the move at the time on social media and emphasized the need to push for normalization between Israel and Saudi Arabia.
“I have been working on and supportive of normalization between Saudi Arabia and Israel for years. This historic agreement would effectively end the Arab-Israeli conflict and allow the region to march toward the light and away from darkness, building on the historic Abraham Accords,” Graham wrote on X.
He continued, “However, I would like to make it crystal clear that I will never support a defense agreement with Saudi Arabia or other elements of a proposed deal that does not include normalizing the relationship with Israel as a part of the package. Normalization between Saudi Arabia and Israel is an essential element.”
