John 3:16 For God soloved the world, that Hegave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. John 3:16 is the world's most famous verse. And I am sure that you have some knowledge of it. But what does this verse teach us? 1). This verse teaches us God has a Son. This Son is described as "the only begotten Son", o...

1Corinthians 15:3-4 says, "Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures." The Biblical testimony concerning the bodily resurrection of Jesus from the dead is very clear. In Luke 24:5-6 the angel said to the women who came to Jesus' grave, "Why do you seek the living One a...

Is God really God? You say, "what kind of question is that? What does that mean?" In Isa.40:18 the LORD asked, "To whom then will you liken God? Or what likeness will you compare with Him?" Let me ask another question : what do you mean when you say, "God is God"? The Biblical answer is that God is the Sovereign God. That means God is the absolutely, infinitely, completely...

In Acts 1 Luke tell us that after Jesus rose from the dead, He appeared to His disciples several times over a period of forty days. Luke said Jesus "presented Himself alive by many convincing proofs." (vs.3). After His resurrection Jesus was not a spirit being but a real "flesh and bones" person. This is clearly seen in Lk.24:36-43 where we are told Jesus ate a piece of f...

Gen.1:1 says, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." "In the beginning" points to the beginning of time and creation. The point to note here is that if God was already there in the beginning, then God precedes the beginning. If God precedes the beginning, then God is eternal. Moses is the author of Genesis and Psalm 90. Psa.90:1-2 says, Lord, You have b...

In this article I want to take up the subject of the Biblical account of God's creation of mankind. That account is recorded for us in Gen.1:26-31 2:7-9, 15-25. Both accounts deal with God's creation of mankind on the sixth day. Take careful note of how I have set out the reading of both chapters. 1:24 Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth living creatures after thei...

Let us consider the following : 1). God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, and according to Our likeness." This is an astonishing truth. Man is made to reflect in a finite manner what the infinite God is like and to have fellowship with God. It must be emphasized that all men and women, without exception, are equally made in the image of God. The image of God is every p...

I want to begin this article by setting before you the following sampling of verses. Exod.20:11, "For in six days theLordmade the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day." (cf. 31:17). Psa.33:6, "By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, And by the breath of His mouth all their host." Psa.96:5b, "the LORD made the heave...

"In the same region there weresomeshepherds staying out in the fields and keeping watch over their flock by night.9Andan angel of the Lord suddenlystood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were terribly frightened.10But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people;1...

Heb.11:6 says, "And without faith it is impossible to pleaseHim, for he whocomes to God must believe that He is andthatHe is a rewarder of those who seek Him." God is. God exists. The writer to the Hebrews is not speaking about just any god. He is speaking about the God who revealed Himself to the fathers (Israel's ancestors) through the prophets. He is speaking about the ...

From time to time, when talking with people about the claims of the gospel, they would reject the gospel and say, "When I stand in the final judgment, all I want, from whatever God there is, is justice." The basis of this statement is generally based on the following : (1) all men are basically good and capable of good works; (2) the final judgment, if there is one, will b...

Isaiah 43:25 - "I, even I, am the One who wipes out your transgressions for My own sake, and I will not remember your sins." ...

Col.1:13-14 says, "For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins." A corresponding passage is Acts 26:18 where Paul said the Lord Jesus sent him to the Gentiles "to open their eyes so that they may turn fromdarkness to light and from the dominion ofSatan to God, that ...

Choices. We face them every day. We make them every day. Some choices are easy to make. Some choices are more difficult and we need to gather information and think carefully before making the choice. And then there are those choices we wish we did not have to deal with. Some people tend to ignore them with the hope that they will go away. In the Bible we have the record...

Psalm 123. To You I lift up my eyes, O You who are enthroned in the heavens! 2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, As the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, So our eyes look to the LORD our God, Until He is gracious to us. 3 Be gracious to us, O LORD, be gracious to us, For we are greatly filled with contempt. 4 Our soul is g...

Psalm 65:1, "To You praise is due, O God, in Zion; To You a vow is performed." (NICOT Psalms). The opening lines in this psalm begins with "To You". The LXX (Septuagint or Greek OT) translated "praise is due" as "praise is fitting or proper." Why is it fitting to praise God? Firstly, praise is fitting because God is the hearing-prayer-One. Vs.2 says, "O You who hear pr...

Acts 2:22-24 says, "Men of Israel, listen to these words:Jesus the Nazarene,a manattested to you by God withmiracles andwonders andsigns which God performed through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves know23thisMan, delivered over by thepredetermined plan and foreknowledge of God,you nailed to a cross by the hands ofgodless men and putHimto death.24ButGod raised Him ...

Phil.1:6 says, "For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus." The context of this verse is Paul's thanksgiving. Paul thanked God for the Philippians. Paul thanked God for their fellowship with him in the work of the gospel. Paul's third point of thanksgiving is found in vs.6. Let us examine this ...

"I do not not believe in evolution." Your first reaction to this sentence will be to correct it by removing one "not". You will assert that this is not correct English. And you will be right. However, if this statement was written in Greek, it would be correct because it would be regarded as an emphatic declaration. The Greek New Testament has many examples of this "not no...

Titus 2:11-14 says, "For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, 12instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age, 13looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus, 14who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed...

The apostle Paul described the Christians in Rome as "beloved of God" (Rom.1:7). He described the Thessalonian Christians as "beloved by God" (1Thess.1:4) and as "beloved by the Lord" (2Thess.2:13). In all three instances it is proper to say that Christians are God's beloved people. In Rom.1:7 "beloved" is a verbal adjective with a passive sense. Firstly, the adjective sa...
