A personal record of Teachings from Bible
 
“…..So I will save you, and you will be a blessing.” Zechariah 8:13

When I came across this verse I understood two things clearly
1. We need someone to save us.
2. We cannot be a blessing to others by nature (Someone has got to make us a Blessing!).

Inarguably, we know that GOD is the person who can save and make us a Blessing. Who is this God? Bible and many other historic and theological scriptures confirm that this God is none other than Jesus! Now, coming to the crucial question, will he make us a blessing for nothing? Or is it a reward for obedience to His word? 

Undoubtedly every Blessing mentioned in the bible is followed by a command. Here is a command which is vital to make every human being’s life meaningful.  Zechariah 8: 16, 17 (NIV) says,

Do’s
These are the things you are to do: “Speak the truth to each other, and render true and sound judgement in your courts;” 

Don’ts
“Do not plot evil against each other, and do not love to swear falselyI hate all this,” declares the LORD.

These are  simple commands one has to follow to be a blessings to others! Pour out your heart to your creator and ask him to make you a blessing today!

God Bless You!
