The four gospels - Matthew, Mark, Luke and John - were chosen from dozens of early Christian gospels to be included in the biblical canon. Each gospel was written for different audiences and with different purposes. Matthew emphasizes Jesus' words and appeals to Jewish audiences. Mark stresses Jesus' deeds and was written for Romans. Luke focuses on Jesus' perfect humanity and was written for Greeks. John provides evidence of Jesus' deity through his signs and words and appeals to all people. While the gospels display some differences, these are evidence of independence and do not undermine their reliability.
Here are some reasons why God gave four Gospels instead of just one:
1) To give a more complete picture of Christ. While the entire Bible is inspired by God (2 Timothy 3:16), He used human authors with different backgrounds and personalities to accomplish His purposes through their writing. Each of the gospel authors had a distinct purpose behind his gospel and in carrying out those purposes, each emphasized different aspects of the person and ministry of Jesus the Christ..

While some traditions like egg hunts derive from pagan spring rituals, the focus of Easter should be on Christ's resurrection and its significance for believers. Debate exists around celebrating Easter versus Resurrection Sunday and whether Christian families should participate in secular traditions, but the Bible emphasizes remembering Christ's resurrection as something to be celebrated daily, not just once a year on Easter.

The document discusses the importance of discipline among believers by examining how Moses either obeyed or disobeyed God's instructions, and the consequences. It emphasizes avoiding pride, idolatry, evil things, tempting God, and murmuring based on 1 Corinthians 10:6-12. Discipline and obedience are necessary to receive God's blessings and avoid pitfalls like Moses faced when he struck the rock instead of speaking to it.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
