One-Year Bible Notes and Daily Bible Reading

And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” ~ Mark 2:5
What is the most important need of humanity? The Christian gospel provides a unique benefit that surpasses all others. This benefit directly addresses humanity’s greatest need, setting Christianity apart from all other religions. It is the only faith that tackles this fundamental need. Other religions may offer ethics, morality, social responsibility, family values, and some degree of love, peace, fulfillment, and happiness. But what is humanity’s most pressing need?
Plainly put, humanity’s greatest need is to avoid the eternal punishment of God in hell. This need is critical, and only Christianity, through the Christian gospel, provides the means to escape this wrath. It is only through the Christian gospel that anyone can find a way to avoid the eternal consequences of sin in hell.

Jesus Heals a Paralytic
Summary
Jesus Heals Many, Jesus Preaches in Galilee, Jesus Cleanses a Leper, Jesus Heals a Paralytic
Mark 1:27. And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.
It was the authority of his preaching which first astonished them; and then the authority with which he wrought his miracle, and subdued the world of demons. Blessed be God. Christ has not abdicated his authority. He is still the great Messenger of God, full of divine authority to save men, and to deliver them from the power of Satan. ~ John MacArthur
Mark 02 – J Vernon Mcgee – Thru the Bible
Grace to You
Listen to John MacArthur on today’s scripture below:
What sends people to hell? You say sin. No. It’s not sin alone that sends people to hell. It is unforgiven sin. It is unforgiven sin that sends people to hell. Hell is only occupied by people whose sins have never been and will never be forgiven. Heaven, on the other hand, is occupied by people whose sins have all been forgiven; therefore, what causes people to escape the wrath of God in eternal hell is the forgiveness of their sins. That is man’s greatest need, to move him from hell to heaven.
Christianity alone offers that very benefit, the forgiveness of sins. The greatest need of every soul is divine forgiveness of all sin, and the greatest benefit of Christianity, then, is the provision of that complete forgiveness.
What is man’s greatest need? There is one great benefit that the Christian gospel offers that transcends all other benefits and leads to all other benefits. It is a benefit, frankly, that corresponds directly to man’s greatest need, and that is where Christianity marks itself out from all other religions on the planet. It alone addresses man’s greatest need. There are religions that offer ethics and morality, and social responsibility, and family values, and a measure of love and peace, somewhat a measure of fulfillment, satisfaction, maybe even a certain measure of happiness. But what is man’s greatest need?
The greatest need of man, simply put, is to escape the wrath of Godpoured out on sinners eternally in hell. The greatest need of man is to escape the wrath of God poured out eternally on sinners in hell. Only Christianity, only the Christian gospel offers the benefit that meets that need. Only through the Christian gospel can anyone escape the wrath of God poured out on sinners eternally in hell. ~ John MacArthur

You Need to Know the Bible for Yourself
Everybody needs to know what the Bible really says: what it says about God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, salvation and eternity, etc. Don’t depend on what a church or some famous preacher tells you. If you depend on Hollywood, the History Channel, or a magazine for the most important information you will ever need to know. You may end up lost forever not knowing what God has written down for you. He wants you to spend eternity with Him.
You need to know Jesus before you can be saved. The bible is all about who Jesus is and what He has done for you. He has a gift for you and it is completely free. But if you don’t know Him, you will not be in the Kingdom of God with Jesus who gave His very life for you.
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. “Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ “And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’ ~ Matthew 7:21-23
There is an absurd amount of very bad information out in the world today about the Bible. You will only know the truth if you study the bible for yourself. And if you study the bible and ask The Holy Spirit to open your eyes to the truth He will and it will change your life forever.
