(1 Corinthians 15:54-57) “So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; […]
The Resurrection of the Dead
There will be a resurrection of the dead. Some of the Corinthians were not so sure. They were more than doubting, they were saying that there would not be a resurrection of the dead. Paul had preached that there would be a resurrection of the dead when he first came to Corinth. He had preached […]
“God is Real and can be Trusted”
George Mueller (27 September 1805 – 10 March 1898) _“He cared for 10,024 orphans during his lifetime, and provided educational opportunities for the orphans to the point that he was even accused by some of raising the poor above their natural station in British[1] life. He established 117 schools which offered Christian education to more than 120,000.” […]
Jesus as the Good Shepherd
I started to write about Jesus as the Good Shepherd, but there is so much to say about Jesus the Good Shepherd, so I am going to try to write about Jesus the Good Shepherd who is the servant of the sheep. (John 10:14) “I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known […]
“Be Not Deceived”
(1 John 1:8) “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” The Bible warns us over and over about being deceived. Being deceived is very dangerous. The reason that being deceived is dangerous, is that if one is deceived he will not know that he is […]
Herein is Love
(1 John 4:10) “Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.” I want you to understand the word for “love” that is used in this verse. The word in Greek is agapē. It is a noun. The Greek word agapaō […]
Weak in the Faith
(Romans 14:1) “Receive one who is weak in the faith, but not to dispute over doubtful things.” What is it to be “weak in the faith?” There is a difference between “weak in the faith” and “weak in faith”. Abraham was not “weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he […]
Walking in God’s Calling
(Ephesians 4:1-3) “I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.” (Romans 12:9-10) “Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor […]
The Fear of Death
Most people think that if one dies it is the worst thing that can happen to a person. And this is not true if he is in Christ, but if he is not in Christ, it is the worst thing that can happen to anyone. This is sad, for if things do not change everyone […]
What Is Living By Faith?
As I studied chapters 10 and 11 of Hebrews, I came to realized that the whole chapter 11 of Hebrews is about faith, and also about living by faith. Everyone named in chapter 11 is an example of people who lived their lives by faith. (Hebrews 10:38) “Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man […]
