May 1, 2025 by John Niemelä in Grace in Focus Articles
By John H. Niemelä Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God. Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen

Father, Son, and Spirit: The Key to John 3

March 1, 2025 by John Niemelä in Grace in Focus Articles
By John H. Niemelä John 3:16 is the most famous quotation from Jesus. Some would take issue with that statement. Some think the idea that Jesus said those words is an urban legend of the New Testament.1 Actually, that charge itself is fake news. A veritable war exists between Bible translations (which generally treat John

Over 99 percent of Christians would assert something like the following: “Matthew 11:2–3 is clear about John’s struggle at the end of his life. He developed an Elijah complex as he collapsed

Kto jest w stanie zagwarantować życie wieczne?

December 7, 2023 by John Niemelä in Jedynie Wiara, czyli darmowa łaska w centrum uwagi
Ewangelia Jana przedstawia Jezusa jako mesjańskiego Syna Bożego, który został ukrzyżowany i zmartwychwstał, aby zagwarantować życie wieczne wszystkim wierzącym. Ci, którzy postrzegają Jezusa jako zwykłego człowieka, lekceważą wszelkie wyobrażenia, że mógłby On zagwarantować komukolwiek życie wieczne. Zwykłe ludzkie istoty nie mogą obdarzać innych życiem wiecznym. Czy to oznacza, że musimy z konieczności najpierw przekonywać ludzi

Does the Word Gospel Equal Jesus Christ’s Death and Resurrection in 1 Corinthians 15?

May 1, 2023 by John Niemelä in Grace in Focus Articles
By Dr. John H. Niemelä First Corinthians 15’s definition of the word gospel is important.1 For brevity’s sake, I assume the view that saved in 15:2 refers to sanctification, not regeneration. Lowery writes, “As the former message was an essential element in the Corinthians’ experience of ongoing salvation (the pres. tense of the verb saved

September 1, 2022 by John Niemelä in Journal Articles
John H. Niemelä1 Message of Life Knoxville, TN I. INTRODUCTION Amen, amen, I tell you, the one who listens to My word and believes the One who sent Me has everlasting life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life (John 5:24). Do not be shocked at this, because an

We are His Masterpiece (Ephesians 2:10)

August 29, 2022 by John Niemelä in Grace in Focus Articles
By John H. Niemelä For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them (Eph 2:10). Perseverance theology has treated this verse as a prooftext for Calvin’s infamous 1547 dictum: “It is therefore faith alone which justifies [cf. Eph 2:8-9], and yet the

September 1, 2020 by John Niemelä in Journal Articles
John H. Niemelä Message of Life Ministries Aurora, Colorado I. INTRODUCTION Is faith the gift of God? John MacArthur gives a standard Reformed statement that it is: For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no
