1. Why does obedience matter?

The choice to do physical exercise is an option that comes daily to us. We can either choose to do it or avoid it. Avoiding exercise may give us more time to rest—a short-term benefit. Yet we know when we choose to sacrifice rest by regular exercise, our body can become fit, we can live longer, and we can be free from sickness. A healthier body allows us to pursue the things we want to do and even help friends, family, and others around us.

Note: Benefits of obeying yourself and exercising and walking regularly are given at the bottom of this page.

What are the Gospels?

The Bible, the holy book of the Christians, has four books known as the Gospels. These books are about the life of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour. The four Gospels are the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The four books of the Gospel are within the New Testament portion of the Holy Bible. Many devout Christians read the Gospels multiple times a year.

What is the importance of the Gospels?

Only through Jesus do we have salvation and eternal life. Hence, reading and reading again provide us with fresh understanding and revelation to build and strengthen our faith. Only by believing in Jesus are we saved into freedom and eternal life. We read all these in the Gospel. We need to believe in the begotten Son of God and accept His death on the cross for the cleansing of our sins and iniquities. We ought to believe in His resurrection from death as our foundational belief in Jesus Christ – the very basis of Christianity. We are saved, and we become righteous by believing – no action is required.

Why should we read the Gospels?

Reading the Gospels periodically makes our belief in Jesus Christ a strong foundation. Just like practice is important for any sport, reading, reading aloud, remembering, and speaking aloud are important for the Gospels to keep one’s faith secure. The earlier we read and try to retain the truths in our minds and make them part of our lives, the better.
