The Litmus Test of True Believers? – 1 Corinthians 12:3

January 1, 1993 by Bob Wilkin in Grace in Focus Articles

Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit. Just Saying the Words? This verse has puzzled many because it seems contrary to experience. Experience tells us that unbelievers are capable of

Praise the Lord!

November 1, 1992 by Bob Wilkin in Grace in Focus Articles

The command to praise God is a common one in the Old and New Testaments. Approximately 250 times in the Bible we read commands and declarative statements regarding praising the Lord. Yet as common as praising the Lord is in Scripture, it is much misunderstood. Many people mistakenly think that merely by saying or singing

Do Demons Really Believe? – James 2:19

November 1, 1992 by Bob Wilkin in Grace in Focus Articles

“You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe–and tremble!” The Question Over the years I have been asked about James 2:19 scores of times. I hold the view that faith is faith. Saving faith is not a special kind of faith. What makes saving faith saving is the object,

A Punishment Worse Than Death — Hebrews 10:26-31

September 1, 1992 by Bob Wilkin in Grace in Focus Articles

“For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries.

4For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for

“Soul Salvation,” Part 5 — Suffering Which Results in Abundant Life — 1 Peter 1:9

May 1, 1992 by Bob Wilkin in Grace in Focus Articles

“Receiving the end of your faith–the salvation of your souls.” This is the most difficult of the passages on “soul salvation” in the Bible, in my opinion. A casual reading of this text seems to suggest that eternal salvation is in view. This is suggested by the fact that the salvation in question is said
