Does your church or tradition believe in the doctrine of eternal rewards? It is the key to so many subjects in theology and to so many passages of Scripture. For example, did you know that Jesus taught there would be different degrees of greatness in His kingdom? In the Sermon on the Mount, the Lord […]
Capítulo tres “Mas a todos los que le recibieron, a los que creen en Su nombre, les dio potestad de ser hechos hijos de Dios; los cuales no son engendrados de sangre, ni de voluntad de varón, sino de Dios” (Juan 1:12-13). El Príncipe Charles y Diana, la Princesa de Gales, estaban encantados al tener […]
Although Theophilus had been instructed about Jesus, he needed certainty. That is, he needed a more stable understanding of who Jesus is and what He did (cf. Luke 1:4). For example, maybe Theophilus heard rumors about Jesus’ unusual birth. What really happened? Luke tells the story. Sometime after Gabriel’s appearance to Zacharias, he had a […]
AF wrote to me wondering if I present two different and contradictory understandings of what it means to believe in Jesus: Youi wrote: So, what does it mean to “believe in Jesus”? Does it mean to believe that He existed? That He was born in Bethlehem? That He lives a sinless life? That He is […]
Capítulo Dos “Ésta es, pues, la parábola: La semilla es la palabra de Dios. Y los de junto al camino son los que oyen, y luego viene el diablo y quita de su corazón la palabra, para que no crean y se salven” (Lucas 8:11-12). Durante los años 1950, dos prominentes evangelistas eran conocidos por […]
In Luke 1:27, we read that God sent Gabriel to a virgin named Mary. At this time, Mary was probably a teenager. But despite her young age, as was customary, she was betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph. Betrothal meant they were legally promised to each other in marriage, but the wedding ceremony itself, […]
Capítulo Uno “Y creyó a Jehová, y le fue contado por justicia” (Genesis 15:6) Mis padres ya habían perdido toda esperanza. Aunque su primer bebé, una niña, llegó después de sólo unos años de espera, no fue hasta casi ocho años después, que tuvieron a su segundo bebé, otra niña. Siete años después, cuando mi […]
Dr. Charles Ryrie famously said, “If everlasting life could be lost, then it has the wrong name.” Everlasting life is ever-lasting life. Recently, however, I came across an article from a Free Grace friend arguing that there is no Greek expression for everlasting life. He says, “zōē aiōnios…is not endless life, but life pertaining to […]
The other day Shawn and I received the following email from BP who listens to our daily podcast: You said, “Well it is funny because I know some people in Free Grace circles who would say, ‘I know for sure I have everlasting life. It is simply by faith in Christ apart from works. I […]
Una de las cosas más interesantes sobre estudiar el libro de Romanos es la manera en que Pablo utiliza la palabra “justicia.” La palabra se usa más de 35 veces en el libro, y eso solamente se refiere al sustantivo, no al verbo. En algunos casos la palabra se traduce como “justicia” y en otros […]
We have all heard the expression “slicing the bologna thin.” It means that a person is examining something too closely, even to the point of obsession. It can be used positively: “He really...
