In my last blog, I discussed that the word “salvation” in the Book of Romans does not mean salvation from hell. Instead, it refers to salvation from the negative consequences of sins here and now. In this blog, I would like to look at the word “wrath.” A similar situation exists with this word. Often, […]
You can discuss the timing of the Lord’s Supper in three different senses: frequency, intent, and Dispensation. First, you can discuss the timing of the Supper in terms of frequency. It would be nice if the Bible had direct teaching about how frequently you should celebrate it. But despite several passages devoted to discussing the […]
En Apocalipsis 2:17, Jesús promete dar a los creyentes vencedores en Pérgamo una piedrecita blanca. Claramente, esta es una recompensa por la fidelidad. Es la recompensa que se dará en el Tribunal de Cristo cuando el Señor recompensará a los creyentes fieles por su obediencia. Me he preguntado frecuentemente qué significado tendrá esta recompensa particular […]
Dr. Charles Ryrie was my professor for the doctrine of salvation. I remember him discussing 2 Cor 5:18-21 one day in class. This comment stuck with me: “Reconciled people need reconciliation.” In 2 Cor 5:19, Paul says, “God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed […]
Entonces Jehová dijo a Moisés: “¿Por qué clamas a mí? Di a los hijos de Israel que marchen. Y tú alza tu vara, y extiende su mano sobre el mar y divídelo, y entren los hijos de Israel por en medio del mar, en seco. Y he aquí, yo endureceré el corazón de los egipcios […]
We know that eternal life is a free gift—an extraordinary, extravagant gift—given simply on the condition of faith in Christ, totally apart from any works that we can do (Rom 6:23; Eph 2:8-9). But then what? What comes next? The short answer is: love. Freed from the burden of having to earn your salvation by […]
My friend Allen Rea is always reading inspiring Christian biographies, and I often ask him for recommendations. Frankly, although I read a lot, I do not read many biographies. But Allen inspired me to pick some up. For example, I’m currently reading a biography of Robert Chapman, who became influential among the Plymouth Brethren. Apparently, […]
Y Moisés dijo al pueblo: No temáis; estad firmes, y ved la salvación que Jehová hará hoy con vosotros; porque los egipcios que hoy habéis visto, nunca más para siempre los veréis. Jehová peleará por vosotros, y vosotros estaréis tranquilos. Entonces Jehová dijo a Moisés: ¿Por qué clamas a mí? Di a los hijos de […]
God is omniscient. That is, God knows everything that could be, would be, has been, is, and will be. But how does God know the future? Upon what does His knowledge depend? Some people (e.g., Calvinists) claim that God’s foreknowledge depends upon His foreordination. For example, Lewis Sperry Chafer said, “Nothing could be foreknown as […]
A regular reader of our blogs named John asks this insightful question: I just read your latest blog concerning Dead Spoken Faith Alone. In your point #10, you mention that assurance is essential to a faith that saves. I must admit that the thought of eternal conscious torment still frightens me. I believe in Christ, […]
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...
