Who will be justified before God? I recently asked a local religious leader who would be justified before God at the judgment seat of Christ (John 5:21-22)? To which he replied, “I believe all good people will be in heaven.” To which I said, “What is the basis or root cause of goodness?” The religious […]
How Do I Obtain This Freedom? John 8: 31-36 As the Lord preached the gospel “many believed on him”. But as soon as the Lord spoke of being made free those who did not believe, protested, saying, “We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be […]
A BELIEVER’S PEACE Where does a believer find real and genuine peace? On what foundation can we rest and say in truth, “It is well with my soul?” I’ll tell you; it lies in this, that we are justified by faith and not by works. Christ Jesus stood in my place before God. I was […]

OUR RIGHTEOUSNESSThere is but one human righteousness, and it is Christ, His Person and work. When we speak of “our Righteousness,” we are speaking of Him, for He is eternally, the Lord our righteousness (Jer 23:6). In this regard, as in all others, nothing can be added to, nor taken away from Him. Our gracious, loving Father has brought […]
“Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life.”John 6:68Men and women attend churches for many reasons. To some, the local church is nothing more than a social club, where its members are kept busy with activities that make them feel as though they are doing something profitable for God. To […]
Deliverance For the Wretched Chris CunninghamO wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 7:24-25)Paul answers his own question, and what a question! One all believers have asked themselves time and again. This is precisely the mourning our Lord spoke […]
When the children of God see, hear, and are confronted with the “damnable heresies” of false prophets (2 Peter 2), they should have thoughts of pity and compassion, both for the deceivers and the deceived. And when these pitiful, perishing religionists will not receive us, nor our doctrine, nor our sovereign and gracious Lord, it […]
We should be in a bad condition indeed, if our salvation was suspended on conditions of our own performing. God’s everlasting love, His decree of election, and the eternal covenant of redemption, are the three hinges on which the door of man’s salvation turns. When man fell from God, infinite justice put a lock upon […]
“WHERE THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS, THERE IS LIBERTY” Of all bondage and slavery in the world, there is none more horrible than the bondage of sin. Tell me of Israel in Egypt preparing their tale of bricks unsuppled with straw; tell me of the slave beneath the lash of his cruel task-master, and I […]
