An important part of Paul’s ministry was to keep in touch with Christians and churches, to encourage them in their faith and to help them avoid heresy or get persuaded to believe anything other than t...

God is so good that He made it possible for the very people who rejected Him, who crucified His Son, and who still mock Him to be changed and spend eternity with Him. God’s love for all people is the ...

Light is one of the many symbols of Christmas. Whether we light candles or place lights on a Christmas tree, glowing lights have a special place in our hearts during the holiday season. For Christ-fol...

Since Christ's work on the sinner’s behalf was the only work necessary for salvation, biblical Christianity is not a works-based approach to salvation. It’s all God. But Peter suggests that our salvat...

In both Matthew 5:44 and Luke 6:27, Jesus calls for believers to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. We can learn how to apply Jesus’ command in our own lives by following the fullne...

One of the great theological battles is whether we as humans have free will over our salvation, or if it is all dependent upon God's sovereignty. There are various schools of thought and both have str...

Belief in the gospel changes everything. Before Christ, we are lost in a sinless world with no hope, no satisfaction, and no purpose. With Christ, we have new life and new desires....

All those who have put their faith in the crucified and risen Jesus, and follow him as his disciple, have had their status changed from guilty to not guilty. But, so long as we live in the flesh,...

In submission Christians remember what God has done in saving, providing, protecting, and much more. Submission should well up from a heart of gratitude. Formerly enemies, God’s children were rescued ...

The Father’s abundant love is the root of his salvation. God’s saving work isn’t based on our worthiness but entirely upon his love. The same love which created all things compels him to restore what ...

We have already discussed the picture of the resurrection in Joseph’s life and considered its significance, as it pointed to the One Who would personally conquer sin and death. From there, the discuss...

Let’s look at some Bible quotes on faith and see if we can understand what it means to have faith when we can’t see God’s next steps for our lives....

But one of the most difficult things for unbelievers to grapple with is the account of the resurrection of Jesus Christ found in the Gospels. Claiming a man came back to life after a torturous death a...

What does God think about this? Does the Bible give us any guidance on whether or not our weight matters to Him? Are we spending our lives worrying about something that is irrelevant from an eternal p...

Easter is not simply about the physical death, burial, and resurrection of Christ, though it is that. The perspective of the participants is important too. Just imagine all the vantage points — for go...
