Running a race towards God.......

St. Paul says, 'I have done my best in the race, I have run the full distance and I have kept the faith.

Jesus says, 'I am the way, the truth and the life; no one goes to the Father except by me.' We are running a race towards God through the way of love and salvation that Jesus has shown holding fast the baton of faith.

Salvation is complete only if we reach the finishing point of death with the baton of faith. It is possible that we lose the baton on our way. Turning back we should retain the baton of faith and resume the race to the Father until the last moment of our life.

What does the Bible say about the Word of God?

The Word of God did not come by the will of men but by the Holy Spirit, who moved the holy men of God to speak out (2 Pet. 1 :21).

The Word of God endures for ever. It is the same Word which was preached by the gospel (1 Pet. 1 :25).

Each word of God is to be obeyed. "Whoever keeps the whole law and yet violates one, disobeys the whole. For He who said "Do not commit adultery", has said, Do not murder" (James 2:10).

Hence be doers of the law and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves (James 1 :22).

The Word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of thoughts and intents of the heart (Heb. 4:12).

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction and for instruction in righteousness. By this, the man of God is made perfect and thoroughly occupied for every good work (2 Tim 3:16:17)

JesusYouth-A Missionary Movement at the Service of the Church

Jesus Youth is an international Catholic youth movement with a Charismatic spirituality. It had its beginnings in Kerala (India), but is now active in many different countries throughout the world. Jesus Youth is an initiative of young people themselves, who, filled with the Holy Spirit try to reach out toother young people.

The strength of the movement is its special focus on a life centred on the Lord Jesus Christ; beginning with an experience of God, nourished by prayer, the Word of God, the sacraments and fellowship, and sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ with others.
