“We are not under law, but under grace!” This reflects a serious misunderstanding of both law and grace. It misrepresents the religious system we are under today, for some argue the Christian is not subject to sacred law, freeing him to make his own rules. Jude says this is a perversion of God’s truth (3,4).
God saves only those who obey Him (Heb 5:8-9). All who once were sinners who become “obedient from the heart to that form of teaching” are “made free from sin and become servants of righteousness” (Rom 6:17-18). Jesus said, “Not every one that says unto me Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but
The Pharisees loved to pray, but their prayers were not acceptable (Mt 6:5; 15:7-8). They prayed long for men’s praise. “Let us love God not with words — but with action and in truth” (1 Jn 3:18). Love of God is proven when we believe in Jesus and obey His commandments (I Jn 2:1-5). This
Should you be baptized again? Acts 19:1-5 tells about some men who had been converted to Christ. They had been taught and believed in Jesus Christ. But when Paul later came through Corinth where they lived, he asked about their conversion: “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed? They answered, ‘No, we have
When a woman marries, she accepts “the law of the husband” (Rom 7:2). This serious choice binds her under this law for life. Only at death is she freed. Only God, the designer of marriage, can define her obligation. She was created for man as his helper (Gen 2:21; I Cor 11:9). In consequence of
Millions have asked this question. The answer is in Romans 16:16. Jesus said, “Upon this rock I will build my church” (Mt 16: 18). Christ built His church when 3,000 became Christians and were added to it (Acts 2:38-47). The church of Christ was built upon the foundation of Jesus (I Cor 3:11). JESUS CHRIST
There are over 1400 commands from God in the Old Testament. When a specific command is given and obeyed, God blesses. When disobeyed, punishment follows. These are “written to teach us” (Rom. 15:4). 1. King Saul was commanded to kill the Amelekites and all they had (I Sam 15); he disobeyed and lost the kingdom.
You may be asking about the Mormon Church because presidential candidate Mitt Romney is prominent in that religion and contributes million$ to it. The Mormon Church (Latter Day Saints) was organized by Joseph Smith on April 6, 1830 at Fayette, NY. At the age of 14 he began to have hallucinations (visions). When 17 he
Jesus of Nazareth, without money, science, learning or arms, conquered more millions than Alexander, Caesar, Mohomet and Napoleon. He shed more light on things human and divine than all philosophers and scholars combined. Without the eloquence of schools, He spoke words of life as were never spoken before or since, and produced effects which lie
If no fault had been found with the first covenant (the Old Testament), no place would have been sought for another (Heb 8:7). Please notice several better things about the New Covenant: 1. Better High Priest. Jesus is the High Priest of the New Testament dispensation (Heb 78,8,13). He offered His own blood once for
