No Separation

The steadfast love of Christ is an unerring love that cannot be separated from us, even in the midst of suffering, death, or hardship. We are more than conquerors through Him who loved us, and nothing can or will separate us from God's love, including death, life, angels, demons, or any other power in creation. [... more]

Case Closed!

The finished work of Jesus provides security and salvation despite past, present, or future sins. The Bible teaches that Christ's atonement on the cross satisfies God's justice, and He is able to save completely, covering all sins past, present, and future.

Elders (Part 1 of 3)

Establishing effective church leadership is crucial for the health and attractiveness of a congregation. The Bible teaches that leadership is a priority, and that elders must be appointed in every town as directed by Paul. The qualifications for elders include being above reproach, having a good reputation, and being able to teach sound doctrine. Leadership in the church is a noble task, but it requires a plurality of individuals to ensure that no one person has too much authority. The New Testament emphasizes the importance of humility and accountability in leadership, and that leaders must be subject to the leadership of Jesus. [... more]

The Chain of Salvation (Part 2 of 2)

The doctrine of election is a biblical concept that explains how God chooses to save people, but it's often misunderstood as a complex and difficult topic. Alastair Begg explains that God's foreknowledge and predestination are not about forcing people to believe, but rather about God's sovereign plan to save those He loves. He emphasizes that salvation is not about human effort or understanding, but about God's initiative and grace, and that the gospel is a free and unrestricted offer of salvation to all people.

Help in Our Weakness (Part 1 of 2)

There Is a Hope…

The groaning of creation and humanity is not a sign of despair, but rather an expression of expectation for the redemption of our bodies and the restoration of creation. This hope is rooted in the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the promise of eternal life, which will bring about a new creation free from the bondage of decay and sin. [... more]

Our Present Sufferings

The Bible teaches that suffering is a natural part of life, but Christians have hope in God's promise of redemption and a new creation.

The Spirit of Sonship (Part 2 of 2)

Genuine Christianity is radically different from formalized religion, and it's characterized by a deep sense of intimacy with God, who is referred to as Father. This intimacy is a result of being adopted into God's family through faith in Christ, and it brings with it a sense of sonship and inheritance. However, this adoption also means that Christians must learn to deal with their sinful nature and put to death the misdeeds of the body in order to live a truly life. The Spirit of God is the witness to this adoption, and he testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. Ultimately, our inheritance is Christ himself, and when we have him, we have everything we need. [... more]

The Indwelling Spirit

Believers have a new identity, mentality, and destiny due to the presence of the Spirit of God within them. This reality is distinct from the natural human condition, where the mind is hostile to God. The Christian life involves a radical transformation, where the believer is no longer controlled by the flesh but is alive in the Spirit, with a new set of beliefs and behaviors. This transformation is not just intellectual but is deeply rooted in the believer's core being, resulting in a new view of mortality, which is not one of morbidity but of reality and hope in the resurrection of the body.

Two Differing Mindsets

Men and women are often unaware of their total depravity and inability to fix their sinful nature, but the Bible teaches that those who live according to the Spirit have a new mindset, a different way of thinking, and a new destiny. This contrast is crucial, and there is no middle ground between living according to the flesh and living according to the Spirit. Those who live according to the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires, and they enjoy the privileges that accompany that, including the opportunity to enjoy a vigorous faith, live in the light of a bright hope, and find increasingly in their hearts a fervent love for Christ, for His word, for His people, for His world.
