*DAILY DEW 17TH/AUGUST/2021* *PROVE ALL THINGS* _Key Bible Text:_ *Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.* (2 Timothy 2:15-16 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ Preacher: There's a difference between everlasting life and eternal life. Everlasting life is the life you have before you come into eternal life. Me: The difference is in the spellings. They mean the same essentially - both are derived from same word in the Greek. Whatever is everlasting is also eternal. Preacher: There's a difference between hardship in ministry and hardness in ministry. Hardship is suffering and being in lack while hardness is about the workload of ministry. (A commentary on 2 Timothy 2:3) Me: Well, the difference is in the bible versions. KJV uses hardness, but if you read some other translations, you find hardship used. Both mean the same. Preacher: There's a difference between Holy Ghost and Holy Spirit. The Holy Ghost is the one that dwells in every believer while the Holy Spirit is specially assigned to Jesus. Me: Well, there was no difference until you mentioned it and even now there's still no difference. The same Spirit we have received is called the Spirit of Christ, and the Spirit of the Son! (Romans 8:9; Galatians 4:6) Preacher: There's a difference between children of God and sons of God. Children of God applies to every believer while sons apply to those who have grown up. Me: Children are sons and sons are children. We are all children of God and sons of God according to the bible. No difference. The bible says WE ARE ALL SONS OF GOD by faith in Christ Jesus (Galatians 3:26; Galatians 4:6-7). Preacher: There's a difference between Saul and Paul. Saul was the Old man while Paul is the New man. Me: Not really. Saul was his Hebrew name while Paul was his Greek name. It's the same way Jesus is Joshua in the Hebrew language.
