I think the first time I asked myself this question was when I heard an ETS presentation in which the speaker was talking about beauty. He suggested that the reason we have billions upon billions of planets and stars is because God loves beauty. His entire message consisted of Biblical proofs that God loves beauty. […]
In 1 Timoteo 6:12 Paolo dichiara: “Combatti il buon combattimento della fede, afferra la vita eterna alla quale sei stato chiamato e in vista della quale hai fatto quella bella confessione di fede in presenza di molti testimoni”. Timoteo, come tutti i credenti, aveva già la vita eterna. Allora perché Paolo gli avrebbe comandato di […]
En 1 Timoteo 6:12, Pablo dijo: “Pelea la buena batalla de la fe, echa mano de la vida eterna, a la cual asimismo fuiste llamado, habiendo hecho la buena profesión delante de muchos testigos”. Timoteo, como todos los creyentes, ya tenía vida eterna. Entonces, ¿por qué Pablo le mandaría que echara mano de ella? ¿Y […]
Sa 1 Timoteo 6:12, sinabi ni Pablo, “Makipagbaka ka ng mabuting pakikipagbaka ng pananampalataya, manangan ka sa buhay na walang hanggan, na dito’y tinawag ka, at ipinahayag mo ang mabuting pagpapahayag sa harapan ng maraming mga saksi.” Si Timoteo, gaya ng lahat ng mananampalataya, ay mayroon ng buhay na walang hanggan. Kung ganuon, bakit siya […]
Many catchphrases that get tossed around the church today have caused confusion. One such expression is, “No root, no fruit.” The idea is that if a person is not producing spiritual fruit––meaning that they are not living righteously and following the Lord in obedience––then they have not truly been born again. If there is no […]
Domnul a spus în Apocalipsa 2:25-26: „Numai ţineţi cu tărie ce aveţi până voi veni! Celui ce va birui şi celui ce va păzi până la sfârşit lucrările Mele, îi voi da stăpânire peste neamuri.” Aceste versete fac parte din scrisoarea adresată bisericii din Tiatira. O femeie care pretindea că este prorociță, Izabela, îi amăgea […]
Większość ludzi słyszała o czterech Ewangeliach: Mateusza, Marka, Łukasza i Jana. Wielu sumiennych czytelników Biblii odnosi się do Księgi Izajasza jako piątej Ewangelii. Czy określenie „Ewangelia” nie jest przesadą? Jest wiele powodów do traktowania Księgi Izajasza jako ewangelii. Podobnie jak Ewangelie Mateusza, Marka, Łukasza i Jana, Księga Izajasza mówi o życiu Chrystusa. Księga Izajasza przepowiada […]
Certain chapters in the Bible are known to proclaim a particular theme. The creation chapters are Genesis 1–2. The love chapter? 1 Corinthians 13. The Millennium chapter? Revelation 20. The repentance chapter? Luke 15. While Jesus resurrection is reported in all four Gospels and Acts and in nearly every NT book, there is one chapter […]
《启示录》2:25-26中主说：“但你们要持守已有的，直到我来。那得胜又遵守我命令到底的，我要赐他权柄制伏列国。” 这段经文是写给推雅推喇教会的信。当时有位名叫耶洗别的假教师正在误导部分信徒。“持守”的劝诫正是针对被假教导带偏的危险而发出的。 与神相交的信徒必须持守真道，将来得胜的基督徒必要与基督一同作王，但前提是他们必须通过持守真理来持续得胜。 詹米森（Jamieson）、福塞特(Fausset)和布朗(Brown)注释： 持守——无论假教师如何企图夺走，都不可松手。 直到我来——那时你们与邪恶的争战将终结。希腊原文暗示主再来的具体时间未知（《全圣经注释》卷二第558页）。 兰斯基(Lenski)指出： “持守神的道抵挡一切错谬教义和危险行为，是我们唯一的责任”（《启示录注释》第121页）。 瓦森达克(Vacendak)的深刻见解： 主应许那些刚强的信徒”不再加别的担子”，即不新增要求，只需继续抵挡错谬教导、”持守到底”直到基督再来（指教会被提）。 2:26基督给得胜者（见2:7注释），即一生“遵守祂命令到底“之人，的应许极其荣耀：将赐予“制伏列国的权柄”。那些听从并顺服神话语的信徒，将来要与基督一同掌权（参《罗马书》8:17；《提摩太后书》2:12）（《恩典新约注释（TGNTC）——〈启示录注释〉》第1265页）。 我们务要持守纯正教义及由此产生的敬虔实践。这在第一世纪至关重要，今日更是如此——尤其当错谬教导泛滥成灾之时，持守真道显得尤为迫切。 持续关注恩典
I received an email question from Tim: “Does God love everyone equally?” He went on to express his ideas: “God obviously loves the whole world (John 3:16), but are there degrees to His love that He gives to different people? Does He love the righteous more than the wicked?” Those are great questions. Great care […]
