Being Erased from the Book of Life? – Revelation 3:5

May 1, 1989 by Bob Wilkin in Grace in Focus Articles

I recently received the following question from a GES News reader regarding Revelation 3:5. Dear Bob, Revelation 3:5 is one passage that has been very hard for me to understand and clarify.

Judged According to Our Works — A Doctrine That Doesn’t Contradict the Gospel

May 1, 1989 by GES Webmaster in Grace in Focus Articles

by Brad McCoy The motto of Grace Evangelical Society, “Faith Alone in Christ Alone,” summarizes the Biblical truth that the reception of eternal life is based solely on the work of Christ and is received solely by personal faith in Him alone.

April 1, 1989 by GES Webmaster in Grace in Focus Articles

By Alfy Austin “True Christians won’t practice sin.” These words from an authoritative and respected pastor stuck in Len’s mind, often haunting him. What was wrong with him? He still sinned.

James Inglis* Among other important parts of Scripture, that which teaches and illustrates the discipline which God maintains in His own house, and His jealous care over the purity of the Church, is often overlooked and misunderstood. Apart from the doctrine of Scripture, no inconsiderable portion of the history and narratives contained in the Old
