What’s the Deal with the Genealogies? (Luke 3:23-38) 

February 13, 2024 by Ken Yates in Blog - Adam, Gentiles, Matt 1:1-17, Theophilus
Both Matthew (Matt 1:1-17) and Luke (3:23-38) include the genealogy of Christ in their Gospels. I’m pretty sure that most readers read over all those names fairly quickly, or even skip those verses all together. These verses have to win the prize for each book’s most boring section. We can’t even pronounce 80% of the

Духовная трансформация происходит в нас, когда мы рождаемся свыше?

February 12, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Бесплатный дар благодати - 1 Коринфянам 5:17, Духовная трансформация
В кругах евангельских христиан можно часто услышать, как проповедник говорит что-то на подобие: «Если Ваша жизнь не показывает, что Вы были трансформированы, то этим Вы показываете, что не обладаете спасительной верой». Многие понимают 2 Коринфянам 5:17 как то, что человек становится духовно зрелым непосредственно в момент веры. Все его плохие привычки уходят. Мгновенно. Алкоголик? Больше

Il fedele Creatore dei sofferenti

February 12, 2024 by Kathryn Wright in Grazia Gratuita - 1Pt 4:19, 2Pt 3:10-13, Nuovi cieli e terra, Sofferenza
In Is 9:6, il profeta fornisce un elenco di titoli per il Signore, tra cui Consigliere Ammirabile, Dio Potente, Padre Eterno e Principe della Pace. Tuttavia, questo incredibile elenco rappresenta solo una goccia nel mare. Nelle Scritture, Egli è chiamato anche la Parola, l’Alfa e l’Omega, il Re dei re, il supremo Pastore, e così

Is Forgiveness of Sins Synonymous with Having Eternal Life? 

February 12, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Forgiveness and everlasting life, the wages of sin is death
I sent Grant my blog in which I responded to his question about forgiveness and salvation. He wrote this in reply: Thank you so much for the quick reply. I see what you are saying—Jesus repeatedly promised that anyone who believes in Him has everlasting life and He didn’t mention that they necessarily have the

新耶路撒冷的大门(启22:14)

February 12, 2024 by Ken Yates in 聚焦恩典 - 启21:9-27, 奖赏, 约14:3
在启 21:9-21 中,约翰描述了新耶路撒冷。它将是信徒在永恒国度中的居所。耶稣在告诉门徒他要去为他们预备地方时提到了它(约翰福音 14:3)。它将是一座巨大的城市,约翰告诉我们,城墙上将有十二座门。这些门都是大珍珠。这就是人们有时在提到永恒时使用的 “珍珠门(pearly gates) “一词的由来。 新耶路撒冷的异象对约翰产生了巨大的影响。他说,来自王国各地的人们将来到这座城,把万国的 “尊贵和荣耀 “带进这座城(第 27 节)。 那么,这幅图景就是主的国度里的每个人都将进入新耶路撒冷。我们可以称它为主的国度的首都。它将是一个美不胜收、活动丰富的地方。 然而,当约翰结束《启示录》的写作时,他又为这座城市的大门添加了新的内容。他说,能够进入这些城门的人将是那些遵守耶和华诫命的人。使用这些门的特权取决于是否服从。这将是一种奖赏。 这似乎有矛盾。约翰说万民都要进城,但又说只有顺从主的人才能从城门进城。有些人会说,所有信徒都顺服主,因此所有信徒都会从城门进城。这种观点否认了在即将到来的王国中会有奖赏,因为它认为所有信徒都是忠实的。 然而,《新约》明确指出,并非所有信徒都顺服。并非所有信徒都会得到同等的奖赏。最好把启22:14 看作是对某些信徒的奖赏。 但这意味着什么呢?看来,这座不可思议的城市将有许多进入的途径。不过,有十二个门是专门为忠实的信徒准备的。使用它们将是一种荣耀。 我在军队服役时,某些建筑物有特别指定的门。门上往往写着 “指挥官入口“。这意味着只有上司和某些工作人员才能使用这扇门。使用这些门的人可以避开交通繁忙的区域,更快地到达办公室。其他人则必须绕过大楼才能进入。使用这扇门是当权者的特权。有时,这些门通向会议室。在这间会议室里,指挥官和参谋人员会定期开会,计划部队要做的事情。 在《旧约》中,人们在城门口处理事务。长老们会在那里召开会议,做出重要决定。城门是掌权的地方。 约翰描述的就是这种情况。这些珍珠门将是所有永恒的获奖赏信徒进入这座奇妙之城的必经之路。这将是主承认这些信徒忠诚的众多方式之一。 我猜想,这些门也将是那些与基督一同掌权的人讨论和计划主希望他们做的事情的地方。祂的王国将一直扩张。会有许多事情需要完成,许多决定需要做出。君王会授权他们做出这些决定。涉及这些决定的讨论一般也将在新耶路撒冷的珍珠门进行。 那会是什么样子呢?问题可能有很多。约翰对这座城市及其城门的描述只是让我们对它的样子略知一二。但我们知道,对于那些有资格的人来说,这将是一个巨大的特权。

¿Nos transformamos cuando nacemos de nuevo?

February 9, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Su Gracia Gratuita - 2 Corintios 5:17, Transformación
Es común en los círculos evangélicos que un predicador o escritor diga algo como: “Si tu vida no muestra que has sido transformado, entonces muestras que no tienes una verdadera fe salvadora.” Muchos entienden que 2 Corintios 5:17 significa que una persona llega a ser espiritualmente madura en el mismo momento de la fe.

Tayo Ba Ay Nabago Nang Tato Ay Ipanganak Nang Muli?

February 9, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Ang Tinig ng Biyaya
Madalas sa mga sirkulong ebanghelikal na sabihin ng isang mangangaral o manunulat, “Kung ang iyong buhay ay hindi nagpapakitang ikaw ay nabago, pinakikita mo lamang na ikaw ay walang tunay na nagliligtas na pananampalataya.” Maraming nauunawaan ang 2 Cor 5:17 na nangangahulugang ang isang tao ay naging sakdal espirituwal sa sandali ng pananampalataya.

Lessons from Lot’s Wife 

February 9, 2024 by Kathryn Wright in Blog - Genesis 19, Lot, Lot’s wife, Luke 17:32-33, Sodom and Gomorrah
In Genesis 19 we read the account of Lot and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. In this famous story, Lot, his wife, and their two daughters are unwillingly dragged out of their hometown by the angels sent from God. They are given the opportunity to be saved from the coming judgment on the city.

How Can Someone Be Saved Without Being Forgiven? 

February 8, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Acts 2:38, Acts 22:16, Forgiveness and salvation
Grant, a listener to our Grace in Focus podcast, asks a super question: I have a question about the recent podcast that was done concerning Acts 2:38. Towards the end of the answer to the question, Bob said that Saul (Paul) needed to be baptized to receive the forgiveness of sins, but that he had
