Do not look to yourself, but away to Jesus... You will find Him away from yourself (2MCP, 808). This means surrender pride, worry and anxiety and problems, sinfulness. This means trust Jesus. Persevere. Surrender and trust as you study your Bible, surrender and trust as you fast. Surrender and trust as you hit rock-bottom. Fix your eye on the Sun of righteousness. He has the victory, He has the virtue, He has the strength - He has you in hand and His everlasting arms are about you (2MCP, 809)!

No volume ever written has been more loved and quoted, and its words, sometimes simple and sometimes mysterious, should always be studied carefully.

Welcome to Bible Answers Live, providing accurate and practical answers to all your Bible questions.

This broadcast is a previously recorded episode.

To receive any of the Bible resources mentioned in this broadcast, call 800-835-6747.

Now, Here's your host from Amazing Facts International, Pastor Jean Ross.

Hello friends, how about an amazing fact.

In 1967, the United Nations adopted an International Outer Space Treaty forbidding all nations from claiming the Moon or any part of space as territory.

However, the treaty failed to mention anything about private individuals claiming ownership to other planets or moons.

So early in the 1980s, Dennis Hope from Nevada sent letters to the United Nations, the United States, the Soviet Union and informed them that he was claiming ownership to all lunar surfaces in our solar system aside from the Earth.

He even gave them an opportunity to respond if they had objections But he never heard a word from them.

For nearly 40 years now, Hope has been selling land plots on the moon and Mars for the price of about $20 an acre.

He has been pursuing this not just as a novelty sale, but as a serious real estate transaction, complete with land titles, covenants and bylaws.

Although others are now in the same business, Hope has earned more than $10 million selling land on planets he has never visited.

It seems that selling land out of this world is a profitable business venture.

But did you know, friends, that the Bible teaches that you can own heavenly real estate for free?

Jesus said, In my Father's house there are many mansions.

If it were not so, I would have told you.

I go to prepare a place for you and if I go and prepare a place for you I will come again and receive you unto myself that where I am they you may be also." John 14 verse 2 and 3.

You know Pastor Carlos It's amazing how people are willing to buy something that they've never seen on another planet, in particular here, the moon.

And it seems like the person who is selling property on the moon is making real good money.

Whether that's actually going to stand up in court, I don't know, but at least for now, He's making a lot of money.

Yeah, and then Jesus is offering us something for free, and many people reject that.

A lot better than a piece of land on the moon or on Mars, right?

He's offering us a mansion made in heaven.

And the Bible tells us that the New Jerusalem is a splendid city, something that we can't even begin to imagine.

The streets are made of gold, beautiful gates, and there is a mansion, a home, specifically made by Christ for the redeemed.

You know, we have a free gift that we want to share with anyone who calls and asks.

It's about this reward that Jesus is preparing for those that love him.

And it's a book called Heaven, Is It For Real?

All you need to do is call and ask for that.

Again, the book is called Heaven, Is It For Real?

And you can call the number 1-800-835-6747 and you can ask for offer number 189 or just ask for the book by name, Heaven, Is It For Real?

You know the good news is that we get to travel through space, past the moon, past Mars, Past the planets when Jesus comes and we take that heavenly journey to the New Jerusalem.

Before we go to the phone lines, my name is John Ross.

Pastor Doug is out this evening, but we're open for your Bible questions.

If you have a Bible-related question, the number here to the studio is 800-463-7297.

We'll also give you another number that is a free offer.

And if you have a Bible-related question, we'd love to hear from you tonight.

Pastor Carlos, though, before we go to the phone lines, let's start with a word of prayer.

Father, we thank You for just the privilege and the honor of coming together and spending time in Your Word.

And we know there are many people with many questions, we ask that they come join us and we ask that your spirit guide us to give them the biblical answers for the many questions that may arise.

And so we thank you again for this privilege and this honor and we ask this in Jesus name, Amen.

All right, well I think our phone lines are open.

I'm calling in a question for my husband.

Specifically, the question comes from verse 17 to 19.

So, when Jesus was asked, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life in verse 17, and in 19 he responds or replies with, to know the commandment, and he lists 6 of them.

The 10 commandments are divided into 2 parts.

The first 4 of the 10 commandments have to do with our relationship with God.

Have no other gods before him, don't worship idols, don't take his name in vain, remember the Sabbath to keep it holy.

The last 6 of the 10 Commandments have to do with our relationship with God.

Have no other gods before Him, don't worship idols, don't take His name in vain, remember the Sabbath to keep it holy.

The last 6 of the 10 Commandments have to do with our relationship with our fellow man, which is honoring our parents, not murder, Don't commit adultery, don't lie, don't steal, and don't covet.

Now the commandments that we find mentioned here, Jesus is not addressing any of the first 4 commandments, but he's pointing out the last 6 that has to do with his relationship with his fellow man, because it appears that that seems to be the sensitive area, a part of his life that he was struggling to let go of, because he responds in verse 20 and he says, "...all of these things I've kept from my youth." But then Jesus narrows in and he says, "...one thing you lack, go sell what you have and give it to the poor and you shall have treasure in heaven." So quite possibly the sin that this rich young ruler was struggling with was pride.

He was rich, he was young, he was a ruler, so he had influence and power.

And Jesus is emphasizing that in order to truly keep the law, it's not just an outward behavior but it has to do with the heart.

Love for God, love for our fellow man is the motivation for obedience to God's commandments And that was the point that he was lacking love for his fellow man.

And that's why Jesus mentioned those last 6.

You know, we do have a lesson called Written in Stone and it's all about the 10 Commandments and we'll be happy to send it to anyone who's wondering about the law of God.

Is it still binding and relevant for Christians today?

The number to call for that is 800-835-6747 and you can ask for 1 of the Amazing Facts study guides.

We'll be happy to send it to anyone in North America.

If you're listening outside of North America, just visit the Amazing Facts website, just amazingfacts.org.

You'll be able to read that lesson for free.

You can even sign up for the Amazing Facts free online Bible course, and you will be blessed.

My question comes from 1 Samuel 1, verse 11.

Alright, it says, Then she made a vow, and she said, O Lord of hosts, if you will indeed look upon my affliction or the affliction of your maidservant, and remember me, and not forget your maidservant, but will give your maidservant a male child, then I'll give him to the Lord all the days of his life and no razor shall come upon his head." Yes, so this sounds like Samuel was going to be raised by Hannah as a Nazarene.
