A veces la gente dice que la fe que salva es la confianza en una persona. ¿Qué significa eso, exactamente? John W. Robbins explica a continuación cuándo esta expresión tiene sentido y cuándo no: “Mucho antes de que los teólogos neo-ortodoxos pensaran en decir que la fe es un encuentro con una persona divina en […]
In the last blog, we explored Luke’s purpose in writing his Gospel, and I suggested it was quasi-apologetic—meant to stabilize or to reinforce faith in Christ. Now we can ask a second question: what was Luke’s method in writing his Gospel? The prologue gives us five clues. Inasmuch as many have taken in hand to […]
Hoy voy a contestar a una pregunta que preocupa a muchos. ¿Qué debe hacer una persona que está confiando en la muerte y resurrección de Jesús, pero no tiene la seguridad de su salvación? Lauri escribe: “Me crié en un hogar cristiano por dos hermosos padres cristianos. Recibí la vida eterna a la temprana edad […]
“Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill” (Matt 5:17). Jesus said that He came to fulfill the Law and the Prophets. In other words, the Lord was giving a purpose statement for His ministry, and whenever someone does that, you […]
Unwittingly my parents enrolled me in a cult when I was six. It wasn’t until the start of my senior year in college that I came to faith in Christ and escaped the clutches of the cult. Every religion has cults. A cult is a group that deviates from the fundamental teaching of that religion. […]
Recuerdo una vez en los años noventa, tal vez alrededor del 1996, estuve en el centro de Dallas en la oficina de Zane Hodges. Le mencioné algo acerca de la confianza. Creo haberle preguntado, “¿Tú crees que confiar es un buen sinónimo de creer en Jesús? En ese momento, pensaba que sí, pero quería oir […]
One of the most interesting things about studying the book of Romans is how Paul uses the word “righteousness.” It is used over 35 times in the book. And that is counting just the noun, not the verb. Sometimes the word is translated “righteousness,” and other times it is translated “justification.” Most famously, it is […]
People write books for specific reasons, and understanding those reasons can help you understand a book as a whole. So why did Luke write his Gospel? What was his purpose? Consider a contrast: John’s Gospel was written with what you could call an evangelistic purpose, where the “good news” is about how to be individually […]
¿Qué significa estar seguro de mi salvación?” Esa es una pregunta que me hacen a menudo. La gente quiere tener la seguridad de ser salva, pero a menudo está confundida. ¿Qué significa seguridad? ¿Cómo puedes tenerla? ¿En qué se basa? ¿Hay alguna diferencia entre la seguridad falsa y genuina? Y si es así, ¿entonces qué? […]
A friend named Ken sent me this intriguing email in response to a blog I wrote: I agree with you that modern evangelistic methods are wrong in their approach to the invitation to receive eternal life. I think Jesus made the invitation very simple and easy to grasp. I’m seeing something in the corner of […]
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...
