GOD’S GLORIOUS GOSPEL The gospel of the glory of God in the salvation of sinners is the most wonderful, the most amazing, the most marvelous, and the most glorious “Good News” which ever fell upon human ear. It is in every way characteristic of its Author (God-like!) and suitable to the desperate need of spiritually […]
GRACE AND TRUTH CAME BY JESUS CHRIST Grace and truth are fitly and inseparably joined together. We cannot have grace without truth, nor truth without grace. Those who reject grace, reject truth; and those who reject truth, reject grace. “Grace reigns through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord” (Rom. 5:2l). The grace […]
Eternal life is to know the living God and Jesus Christ whom He hath sent. It is to have the LIFE of Christ, the PRESENCE of Christ, the SPIRIT and MIND of Christ, and the very GLORY of Christ begotten, created, and formed in us. CHRIST IN YOU is the hope of glory. Until the […]
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 […]
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 […]

EXEPT YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS “For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:20) The Scribes and Pharisees were the most righteous men, outwardly, who ever lived. They lived by the ten commandments. According to […]
“The son of the bondwoman SHALL NOT be heir with the son of the freewoman” Don’t do it my friend, oil and water don’t mix, neither do works and grace! So much of what is called worship, good doctrine and church growth is just that old bondwoman trying to force her way into the kingdom […]
ALLEGORY OF LAW AND GRACE Galatians 4: 21-30; 5:1 Many who profess faith in Christ also believe that they must do their part by adding their law keeping to Christ’s work. Those who were bewitching the Galatians were teaching just that. They were not openly denying that salvation is by Christ Jesus, they were doing […]
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil (Matt. 5:17). Clearly, the Lord Jesus Christ is setting before us the reason of His coming into this world as the sinner’s Substitute and as Jehovah’s Messiah. He came to fulfill, which means: […]
