Jesus is referred to in the New Testament as both the Son of God and the Son of Man. Truly, Jesus is the God-Man; fully God and at the same time fully Man. We can see this clearly as we look at the Virgin Birth, at Jesus’ miracles, at Jesus’ claims about Himself, and at the qualities of humanity.
READ MORESovereignty means God is in complete control over everything He created. Unbound by time and space as we are, God sees past, present, and future all at the same time and can exist everywhere at the same time. The sovereignty of God, in its entirety, is impossible to fully understand because God is infinite, and we are finite. Yet, in God’s sovereignty and omniscience, He chose to give us some idea of the definition of sovereignty in His Word. For example...
READ MOREGod is holy, righteous, and just. Man is sinful, unrighteous, and unjust. Light has no fellowship with darkness. Light and dark cannot occupy the same space at the same time. Therefore, something had to be done about sin; someone had to mediate between God and Man. So, Jesus stepped in.
READ MOREUnconditional love may sound impossible to most people, but unconditional is the only measure by which God chooses to love. The Bible shows us repeatedly how God’s love is both undeserved and impossible to earn; it is the gift of grace.
READ MOREThe cities of refuge in the Bible are spoken of at length in Numbers chapter 35 and in Joshua chapters 20 and 21. These cities were part of the cities given to the Levites, the priestly tribe, to protect a person who caused the death of another accidentally or without vicious intent. Three cities were located on the east side of the Jordan River and three cities were on the west side of the Jordan River—six cities in all.
READ MOREThe Trinity is God. As mere men we cannot fully understand or explain God. Yet, in His infinite wisdom, God gave us glimpses of who He is in His Word that He might reveal to us His nature and His essence. God clearly reveals Himself to us as a triune being: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—three distinct personalities operating in unity as one true God. Let’s see what His Word says about that.
READ MOREIf Jesus weren’t a friend to sinners, He wouldn’t have had any friends on Earth. We’re all sinners and we all need Jesus to be our friend and to be our Savior. That’s why He came—to save us and make us able, once again, to be friends with God. Let’s look at what Scripture says about this.
READ MOREThe term “saved by grace through faith” is used to describe the foundational truth of salvation in Christ Jesus. To better understand this term, let’s look to Scripture. Ephesians 2:8-9 says, “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is a gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” Now, let’s break that passage down.
READ MOREIt is a beautiful thing to experience God’s presence personally, and it’s something every Christian has the potential to do. Our God is a personal God, not a far-away or out-of-reach God. He even tells us, “I will never leave you nor forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5). God desires to make His presence known to each of us, and here’s how...
READ MOREWhat does the Bible say about life and death? The first thing we are told in Genesis 2:7 is that God gave us life. The life God gave to us was meant to be eternal. However, man later sinned against God (Genesis 3:6), and death came because of sin (Romans 5:12). Sin and death posed a problem for Man that Man could not solve. But God...
