By Ken Yates INTRODUCTION Almost all of us have heard a story or two about “Johnny in Sunday school.” Such stories usually involve the teacher’s asking little Johnny a Bible question, which he answers innocently and incorrectly. His answer is the punchline of a joke. One such story relates the teacher’s asking Johnny, “What is […]

By Bob Wilkin GES promotes the view that to be born again a person must believe in the Lord Jesus Christ for everlasting life that cannot be lost, or the equivalent (e.g., everlasting salvation, guaranteed home forever in Christ’s kingdom, permanent justification). Recently I’ve been seeing a lot of pushbacks from people within Free Grace […]

By Anneka Mulleri In 1 John 3:16-17, John uses psychē and bios, two Greek words that can mean “life.” John writes: By this we know love, because He laid down His life (psychē) for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives (psychē) for the brethren. But whoever has this world’s goods (bios), […]

By David M. Renfro As discussed in the Introduction to the Plagues in the January-February 2025 issue, the first nine plagues can be viewed as three cycles of three plagues each. The plagues in each cycle become increasingly severe and life-threatening. These first three plagues caused much irritation and disruption in the lives of the […]

Что нам нужно, чтобы держаться до прихода Христа?

Господь сказал в Откровении 2:25-26: “но крепко держите то, что у вас есть, до тех пор, пока Я не приду. Побеждающему и исполняющему Мою волю до конца Я дам власть над народами.” [НРП] Это стихи из письма церкви в Фиатире. Лжеучитель по имени Иезевель вводила некоторых верующих в заблуждение. Указание “держите то, у вас есть” […]

Voli li Bog cijeli svijet?

Riječ “svijet” (grčki kosmos) pojavljuje se 213 puta u Novom zavjetu. Kalvinisti imaju poteškoće sa stihovima poput Ivan 1:29; 3:16 i 1. Ivanova 2:2 zato jer ti stihovi ukazuju na to da je Krist umro za grijehe cijeloga svijeta i da Bog ljubi cijeli svijet. Oni imaju vrlo domišljat način objašnjavanja zašto ti stihovi zapravo […]

What is the way of righteousness in the Bible

The expression the way occurs a lot in the Bible. It occurs 39 times in the NT and 215 times in the OT. Occasionally, the way refers to Christ. He said, “I am the way…” (John 14:6). Five times in Acts, Christianity is called the Way (Acts 9:2; 19:9, 23; 24:14, 22)—capitalized in the NKJV. […]

El calvinismo tiene una caja de versículos misteriosos

El Señor dijo en Apocalipsis 2:25-26: “pero lo que tenéis, retenedlo hasta que yo venga. Al que venciere y guardare mis obras hasta el fin, yo le daré autoridad sobre las naciones”. Estos versículos forman parte de la epístola a la iglesia de Tiatira. Una falsa maestra llamada Jezabel estaba desviando a algunos creyentes. Retener […]

ano ba ang dapat nating panghawakan ng matibay hanggang sa pagdating ni cristo?

Sinabi ng Panginoon sa Pahayag 2:25-26: “Gayon ma’y ang nasa inyo’y panghawakan ninyong matibay hanggang sa ako’y pumariyan. At ang magtagumpay, at tumupad ng aking mga gawa hanggang sa katapusan, ay bibigyan ko ng kapamahalaan sa mga bansa.” Ang mga sitas na ito ay bahagi ng sulat sa simbahan sa Thyatira. Isang huwad na gurong […]

Can we have assurance of eternal life

Ben Shapiro is a conservative political commentator. He is an orthodox Jew and takes his religious faith seriously. As a result, many on the left wing of the political spectrum have made him a target. They defame him regularly. He has often been in physical danger. Shapiro is impressive. He has a brilliant mind and […]
