What Is Grace?
Our only hope for redemption is grace: “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). The subject of grace is quite an important topic in the Bible; unfortunately, it is one that many in the religious world misunderstand and even among the church, we seem to neglect this topic […]
No Greater Sin
If I were to ask you, “What is the greatest sin in the world,” there is no doubt some of you would say murder. But Paul, who was responsible for the murder of many Christians, was saved and in turn, became a remarkable Christian (1 Timothy 1:12-17). The crucifiers of Christ were murderers, but it […]
God is Satisfied
Suppose that a man rented a large field from a landowner and promised to pay a thousand dollars for the rental at the end of the year. The agreement is signed. If the harvest has been poor because of drought, pests, storms, poor fertilizing, etc., the man who rented the field may wish he had […]
The Arm of the Lord
Isaiah 52:9-12 reads, “The Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God. Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye […]
Why I Cannot Convert My Neighbor
A question that has always plagued me is, “Why can’t we be more effective in teaching our friends and neighbors in the gospel of Christ?” We hear sermons impressing us with our duty and some go out and make an honest effort to convert the lost. Why are we no more successful than we are? […]
A Divided Body
In 1 Corinthians 1:10-15, Paul tells us one of the issues that the Corinthian brethren were dealing with. It says, “Now I exhort you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you agree, and there be no divisions among you, but you be made complete in the same mind and in the […]
God’s Plan for Man’s Salvation
Before you begin reading this, I ask you to write down the answers to the following questions: Have you been saved? How were you saved? When were you saved or in other words, how old were you when you were saved? Have you been baptized? If so, were you immersed, or did you have water […]
Some Who Are Not Christians
A lot of people will tell you they are Christians. Jesus said in Matthew 7:13-14, “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which […]
Are We Looking for Questions of Answers?
A lot of Christians have encountered Christians (particularly younger ones) who are experiencing a great deal of doubt. A disciple of Jesus, Thomas, had an issue of doubt. Jesus did not rebuke him. Instead, He gave him the opportunity to have his questions answered (John 20:24-29). This account opens up the reality that there is […]
Are We Saved by Grace Alone?
We are not saved by grace alone, nor are we saved by faith alone, but Ephesians 2:8-10 says we are saved by grace through faith, both are required in order for man to have redemption from his sins. The very fact that God loved us enough to put into action a plan to redeem man […]
