SLAVES AND MASTERS Ephesians 6.5-9 The slavery is very controversial issue among world societies, but not in the Bible. The Bible characterizes slavery as a part of the other layers of society and considered as a class of social structure and social order with its own rules and regulations...

IMITATORS OF GOD Ephesians 5.1 1. "Therefore, be imitators of GOD as beloved children," It seems like very simple statement, but it contains a lot. Indeed, if you are a true Christian, you should live your life exactly as Christ lived His Life. It means strictly follow His Teachings and His...

I agree with you to a certain point. The Written Law of course still relevant, but mostly for those who are beginners in Christ, for younger generation, for those who just started to be a Christian, for the children in Christ who need Spiritual milk, as Paul once wrote. But for well experienced...

Thank you.

WORTH AND UNITY Ephesians 4.1-4.12-13 "To walk worthy of the calling." (1). This may look like insignificant statement but has very large and important meaning and application. "To walk" means to live, even more, to live according to the Gospel of Christ - according to the Spiritual...

Thank you for your reply. Some people mistakenly think that deceitful serpent was actually Devil himself. But as you mentioned Genesis 3.1 "Now the *serpent was **more crafty than any other beast of the field which the Lord GOD had made." (KSB), this certainly shown that serpent was just like...

THE MYSTERY OF CHRIST Ephesians 3.2-5 What actually Paul meant by words, "My inside into the Mystery of Christ?" First of all Paul is the master of suspense, symbolism, and presentation of the imagery in metaphors. Paul usually starting from the things that hard to understand at first and then...

THE PRINCE OF THE POWER OF THE AIR Ephesians 2.2-3 No doubt that here Paul depicted the Satan without calling him by his name, but instead Paul called him "prince." Indeed, the Satan has been the prince of the Earth since fall of Adam and Eve and still continue to rule over the Earth, until the...

GOD AND FATHER OF JESUS CHRIST Ephesians 1.3 Here again Paul returned back to a very important matter of hierarchy in the Highest between GOD Father and His Son. The Words "GOD and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ" reflect and indicate that Christ as a GOD also has the GOD above Him, His...

SPIRITUAL CHURCH Galatians 6. In verse 1 Paul called brethren of the church as Spiritual. GOD Father, His Son Jesus Christ, teach Spirituality from the very beginning which means to be Spiritually wise, Spiritually intelligent, Spiritually prudent. These Spiritual qualities are not the same as...

In my point of view adaption as a son of God, or heir of GOD'S Kingdom, and all similar statements related to our belonging to GOD are all our Rewards for our Spiritual dedication, loyalty, love and faith in our GOD. We can argue endlessly about a single word or a statement of the Bible, but...

RUNNING THE RACE Galatians 5.7 7. "You were running well, who hindered you from obeying the truth?" This is very interesting expression of Paul than he compared missionary work to a sport of running and boxing. Actually it could be any sport, but the point is that it is a race. We have many...

Thank you for your reply, it was very interesting. I agree with the context of your message; you had done very good research. Concerning Adaption, I view Adaption as sons and as daughters of GOD not as a privilege but as a Reward. Privilege is given for many different reasons, and those reasons...

Thank you for your reply. Very much every Spiritual Issue (Love, Faith, Hope, Mercy, and so on...) can be approached from the number of different positions, point of view, and meanings. Just like a person cannot be save by only one Commandment of GOD, or by one Statute, or by one Regulation, or...

SPIRITUAL ADOPTION AND HEIRS OF GOD THE OLD AND THE NEW COVENANTS Galatians 4. 1-10 In these verses Paul compares Israel to a "child" that does not yet inherit the Estate of his Father, but the...
