Salvation And Rewards

May 1, 2014 by GES Webmaster in Grace in Focus Articles
By C. I. Scofield1 The New Testament Scriptures contain a doctrine of salvation for the lost and a doctrine of rewards for the faithful services of the saved.

May 1, 2014 by Kenneth Yates in Grace in Focus Articles
By Ken Yates, Lt. Col. (ret.) One Judgment or Two? Many people believe that all of mankind will one day stand before God in a final judgment. At this judgment, God will either cast each person into the lake of fire, or allow them into His Kingdom. This appears to be the majority opinion of

We Believe in Rewards

Among the very last recorded words of our Lord Jesus Christ are these: “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work” (Rev 22:12; italics added). This is a clear and definitive statement on the subject of rewards by the Lord Himself. Not

The Rich Entrance and the Idle Workers (2 Pet 1:8-11 & Matt 20:1-16)

May 1, 2014 by Bill Fiess in Grace in Focus Articles
Have you ever noticed the similarity between Matt 20:1-16 and 2 Pet 1:1-11? I didn’t at first. Of course, Peter was one of the recipients of Jesus’ teaching in Matt 20:1-16 (see Matt 19:27-30). In fact, it is the question Peter posed to Jesus (Matt 19:27) that prompted Jesus’ response in the succeeding verses. We

Initial Assurance or Reassurance? (1 John 5:13)

May 1, 2014 by John Niemelä in Grace in Focus Articles
Question: If assurance is of the essence of saving faith, why does 1 John 5:13 imply that these believers might never have known that they had everlasting life? Answer: Does the text really imply this? What we know is that John desired that they possess absolute certainty of their everlasting life. Does he suggest that
