gospel

Through the reading of the scriptures it is evident, that in no place therein is there any mention of the action it behooves us to do for reception of everlasting life, except to believe, apart from works, in the promise Christ made to give everlasting life to the one who believes in Him for it...

It is unknown by many that the truth of the gospel essential for saving the one who believes it, is that whoever believes in Jesus Christ, and not in the merits of their own human efforts, before or during or after the moment they initially exercise faith, that very believer has eternal life...

Whoever believes in the Lord God Jesus Christ of the New Testament in the Bible, the one who gives eternal life, who died on the cross for the sins of the world, was buried, and rose again the third day, has eternal life. Eternal life is irrevocable; otherwise it is not eternal. But of course...

God’s promise to Abraham (formerly Abram) is the reversal of Adam’s curse, and sets up the narrative drive for the whole Biblical storyline. Genesis 12:1-3 Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go forth from your country, And from your relatives And from your father’s house, To the land which I will...

I am in my 3rd Pastorate. Been at this church for 5 years. My own mistake - I "assumed" the church had a constitution and bylaws, as it was organized in 1880. We are now (apparently again) harvesting the "fruit" of the lack of such documents. I only found out officially that there was no...

Is it not true, that so sufficient was the blood of Christ, it is able atone for all sin, enabling God to grant everlasting life to all who believe the gospel, for their sins being purged, and through the righteousness of Christ imputed to them, because all are sinners, and presently sin, none...

According to some forms of dispensationalism, in the church age alone is salvation offered freely, obtained through faith in the gospel of the grace of God, but according to other views, salvation has always been offered freely, acquired through faith in Jesus Christ: in the former ages by faith...

Scapegoat - Who or What does this represent? Leviticus 16:8 KJB - And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the LORD, and the other lot for the scapegoat. Leviticus 16:10 KJB - But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat, shall be presented alive before the LORD, to...

Watch for the Lamb! (Behold the Lamb! Behold the man!) John 1:29 KJB - The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. John 1:36 KJB - And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God! What does it...

Having asked of God a revelation of the sense of the Book of Romans, having asked Him also for power in my brain for the training of concentration; in my painstaking study of every word that is contained therein, I say, from Chapter 1 to Chapter 4, with force of effort for concentration, plagued...

I know I posted drafts of this a few times already. Please forgive me for that. I just want to know two things: Is there any audience for which it is effective? Will anyone be brought to Christ through it? Avoiding the Wrath of God God, in judging according to righteousness, was going to judge...

Can one be saved when believing the gospel even if they don't hear a Bible verse? I wrote a piece which I wish I could call a homily, sharing the gospel with certain particulars, and not quoting the Bible once. If those who read it do not hear a Bible verse, will they remain being lost?

what do you all think of sharing Jesus with people on other online platforms? And by that I mean actively going into tags (like on Tumblr or Twitter) and just putting out the Gospel there to those who might come across it? I have created a blog specifically for sharing Jesus on Tumblr and if you...

The debate between cessation and the continual of the gifts of the Holy Spirit is lacking a proper recognition that those who usually defend the continual gifts of the Holy Spirit are defending the other phenomenon known as the "second blessing" which has occurred later on in life of a believer...

Of all the verses in the bible that describe God's requirement for man to receive salvation what percentage of them use the words "Faith", "Believe" or "Repent" as opposed to "Ask Jesus into your heart" or even praying a prayer for that matter? I'll help you out, Faith and Believe are found the...
