Jesus of Nazareth died so that man could be empowered to obey God’s Law and live in holiness, thereby qualifying for salvation. Romans 8:3,4 summarizes this situation perfectly: “For what the (stone etched) Law could not do, in that man could not obey it through his own fleshly power, God, by sending His Son to […]

In Romans 6:1-13 the Apostle Paul tells church people that they CANNOT CONTINUE TO SIN (vs 1)–to break God’s Law (1 Jn. 3:4). Being “dead to sin,” they can no longer live with sin in their lives, but are to live unto God by making Jesus the LORD (MASTER) OF THEIR LIVES (vs 11). If […]

In Romans 6:33 the Apostle Paul noted that the penalty for sin IS eternal death. In 3:23 he notes that we all HAVE SINNED (past tense). Therefore, we all deserve eternal death for breaking God’s Ten Commandment Law. For this reason Christ came to earth with the intention of dying so as to erase man’s […]

Critics of God’s Truth claim that Law-keepers believe that man is saved by obeying the Ten Commandment Law of God. Not so. Man cannot be saved THROUGH the Law. As the Apostle Paul wrote in Ephesians 2:8, salvation is BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH in God’s Word (Truth–Jn. 17:17). Romans 6:14 assures us that we are […]

The first question one must ask relative to the true Christian walk concerns the Truth that is only found in the Holy Scriptures–all of the Scriptures, not just the headlines. God’s “headlines” are true, but only as they coincide with His “fine print.” For example, Jesus was talking to His disciples (Jn. 8:31) when He […]

In the 24th chapter of Matthew’s Gospel we find Jesus warning His disciples about what would soon be sweeping across the surface of the earth. He labeled this passage of time “the beginning of sorrows” (vs 8) which, as anyone can see, the world has been wallowing in for the past 2000 years. He then […]

Each Sunday billions of people gather for their weekly worship service. With rare exception, the various factions that comprise professing Christendom mark Sunday as their official day of rest and worship because it is “the Lord’s Day.” When church people are asked why Sunday (the 1st day of the week), not Saturday (the 7th day […]

What was THE ONE AND ONLY message Jesus Christ preached and instructed His messengers to preach until His return? Ask any professing Christian and the answer will likely be “the Gospel.” Which is true. Ask what the Gospel is about and one will be told that the Gospel is about Jesus Himself, His birth, His […]

If the righteous go to heaven when they die, from where will the Lord’s “firstfruits” rise when He returns? We are told that the righteous dead will rise first to meet Him in the clouds. How is this possible if the righteous dead–those who died “in Christ”–have been in heaven since the instant of death, […]

That voice belongs to Almighty God. He speaks to us in that voice through His Holy Spirit in the case of those who are His, and through people and circumstances in the case of those who, though they are not His true saints, are part of His general church system. Read 1 Peter 4:18 and […]
