According to the Bible, peace with God is a gift that can only be achieved through faith in Jesus Christ. The sinful nature of humanity separates us from God, but God's initiative in sending Jesus Christ to the cross bridges the gap, making it possible for us to have a right relationship with Him. This relationship is not based on our efforts or good conduct, but on our surrender to God and acceptance of His gift of forgiveness and peace. [... more]

Like Father Like Son

Salvation does not depend on who you are, but on who you know, and it is based on faith in Jesus Christ. The life of faithfulness is not one decision, but many, and it requires moments of faith, obedience, and courage. We can learn from the life of Father Abraham, who obeyed God's commands even without a good explanation, believed God's promises even if they seemed too good to be true, and stepped out in faith, which led to real problems, but ultimately, to true fulfillment.

Ruling Out the Law

The law is a tutor that points us to our need for the gospel, and we cannot earn salvation by keeping it. Instead, we must receive the gift of eternal life by faith, trusting in the unconditional promise of God's grace. This promise is not based on our works or religious rituals, but on the goodness of God's character, and it is available to all who believe, regardless of their background or heritage. [... more]

Forgiven . . . Forgotten

The concept of forgiveness of sin is explored through the lens of Scripture, highlighting the idea that God's grace is amazing and that forgiveness is available through faith alone. The doctrine of purgatory is examined and contrasted with the biblical teaching on justification by faith, which emphasizes the idea that Christ's sacrifice is sufficient for our sins. The scapegoat concept is also discussed, illustrating how Christ bore our sins on the cross, and the importance of understanding that our sins are forgiven and covered through faith in Him.

The Cover-up

The cover-up of sin is a common human tendency, often resulting in devastating consequences. David's story in the Bible serves as a powerful illustration of this, as he attempts to cover up his sin with Bathsheba, leading to the death of Uriah and ultimately, his own downfall. However, it is through confession and accountability that we can find true forgiveness and salvation, as exemplified by David's own testimony. [... more]

The Advent season is a time of hope and grace, a wake-up call to live in the light of Christ's return. As we await the coming King, we're reminded that judgment is real, but for those who are in Christ, there's no fear, only the promise of redemption and joy. Christ extends an invitation to sinners, saying, 'come to me, all you who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.' Through faith, we receive the perfect satisfaction, righteousness, and holiness of Christ, making our scarlet red sins pure white. [... more]

The Gospel War: Paul vs. James

The doctrine of justification by faith alone has been a subject of controversy throughout church history. Martin Luther's 95 theses sparked a theological battle that continues to this day. Paul and James, two key figures in the Bible, seem to be in disagreement on the matter, but a closer examination reveals that they are actually complementing each other's message. Paul emphasizes the foundation of salvation, while James highlights the fruit of salvation, demonstrating that faith without works is dead. [... more]

Rediscovering and Proclaiming the 5 Solas, Part 4

The Reformation's foundational gospel truths, particularly Sola Fide, emphasize that salvation is through faith alone, not works or performance. This doctrine is rooted in scripture and has been a cornerstone of Christian theology, providing comfort and assurance to believers. However, some interpretations, such as John Piper's two-stage salvation model, have been criticized for undermining the true meaning of Sola Fide and introducing a performance-based relationship with God.

The Great Divide

The Bible teaches that all humans are born with a sinful nature, and no amount of good works or personal effort can bridge the gap between humanity and a holy God. The only way to salvation is through faith in Jesus Christ, who has already paid the penalty for our sin. This concept is known as justification by faith alone, and it is the only way to achieve righteousness before God. [... more]

But… Now!

The doctrine of Sola Fide, or justification by faith alone, is a life-changing concept that answers the question of how a person can be right with God. According to the Apostle Paul, this doctrine has been the cornerstone of the gospel for centuries, and it is the key to understanding our hope for eternal salvation. Through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, God has provided for our salvation, and it is by faith in Him that we can receive this gift. The concept of Sola Fide is not something we provide for God, but rather something God has provided for us, and it is a message of hope for the hopeless, the depraved, and the sinful. [... more]

Monday, November 3rd | Children of the Reformation (Not “Reformed”)

Key doctrines of the Reformation include justification by faith alone, the authority of Scripture, and the forensic view of justification. The reformers disagreed on various issues, including the nature of God, the law, and church discipline, leading to different branches of Reformed theology, such as Calvinism and Lutheranism.
