Chapter three verses fourteen through nineteen: Here the Apostle Paul, as he often did, reminded the church that there were (are) no guarantees when it come to salvation, that salvation is a process that begins at the time of one’s conversion and ends with one’s final breath.

Chapter three verses seven through eleven: One of the most enduring fallacies put forth by Satan to convince the church into rejecting Bible Truth is the notion that strict, demanding, My-way-only God the Father was the Dictator over Old Testament Israel while His sweet, gentle, any-way-you-want-it Son is the Persuader of New Testament Gentiles.

Chapter two verses 1-4: Verse one contains a dire warning to all who would embrace the Lord and keep himself in that atoned position until the end (Mat. 10:22).
