“LOVE…REJOICETH IN THE TRUTH” I Corinthians 13:6 As believers, we are bound to love our neighbours and even our enemies. But the special bond of brotherly love which we hold for our fellow-believers is the truth. The truth of the gospel is the foundation of reciprocal Christian love. We do not love each other because […]
WE LOVE HIM, BECAUSE HE FIRST LOVED US I John 4:19 We may differ on many points. But in this one thing every true child of God is like every other child of God-“We love him”. We do not love him as we desire. We do not love him as we know we should. We do […]
“Herein is Our Love made Perfect” 1 John 4:17 “Herein is our love made perfect.” Those words, as suggested by our translators in the margin of our Bible, might be better translated, “Herein is his love with us made perfect.” John is not talking about us loving God perfectly or loving one another perfectly. […]
The Treasure In Earthen Vessels 2 Corinthians 4:7 The treasure God’s servants carry through the world is the gospel of his grace, by which he communicates to chosen sinners all the blessings of grace and salvation in Christ (Eph. 1:3-14). But the preachers who carry this treasure are only “earthen vessels,” clay pots, worthless and meaningless in […]
Our Fellowship I John 1:3 There are few words in the vocabulary of a believer‑ more precious, than these two. Our fellowship is that sweet communion of brethren dwelling together in unity. Our fellowship is the joyful agreement of the church family. Our fellowship is the oneness of heart which God’s saints enjoy by the […]
Preachers Needed and Sent Romans 10:13-17 In order to hear the gospel, someone must preach the gospel to you. — “How shall they hear without a preacher?” God will not reveal the gospel to men by supernatural agencies. Someone must make the truth known to men. They cannot learn without being taught. So, let us carry the […]
“Whence Hast Thou That Living Water?” John 4:11 The Lord Jesus told this woman plainly that if she had known the gift of God and who he was, she would have asked of him, and he would have given her living water. I fully realize that she did not know the full implication of what […]
“He Leadeth Me Beside The Still Waters” Psalm 23:2 What a gentle word – “leadeth”! Gently, thoughtfully, tenderly, but effectually, the Lord Jesus leads his sheep, like Jacob of old, to the soft, deep, quiet, still waters, as they are able to bear it (Gen. 33:14). He leads me not to the noisy waters of strife, the […]
“Any Man” John 7:35 Nowhere in Holy Scripture do we read that Christ is the Saviour of every man. To say that he is is to say that the Son of God is a failure as a Saviour, for there are many who are not saved. But the Bible does declare that Christ is the […]
All of Grace by Don FortnerThe glory, bliss, and perfection of heaven, whateverit is and all that it includes, is but the consummationof salvation; and it is, in its totality, the gift and workof God’s free and sovereign grace in Christ. In heaven’s glory we shall forever adore and praiseour great God for the wondrous […]
