A preacher said it's okay for Christians to gamble, based on the soldiers who were gambling for Christ clothes on the day of his crucifixion and when the disciples were choosing the twelfth to replace Judas! So, is it right for a Christian to gamble? (United States)

No, God does not condone nor bless gambling. The soldiers at the cross crucified, beat and mocked Jesus. Their behaviors were cruel and unrighteous. Their gambling was vulgar. Those soldiers are not examples of God’s holy will.God intended there to be only 12 Apostles [...]

My question is do Christians who are saved still sin, and if they do from time to time after repenting is there anything else we should do? This has been something that has bothered me for some time now. Because to repent is to ask for forgiveness and not sin anymore. (United States)

Yes, Christians do sin. The great Apostle Paul struggled with personal sin. Romans 7:15, 17-25 (ESV), 15 "For I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. ... 17 So [...]

If a person consecrates and attempts the narrow path to heaven as a new creature rather than the wide path/highway to live in "heaven on earth," then later realizes he is as human and sinful as the next person and decides to change his goal, will that person enter second death? And if so, where is the grace in that?

Our decision to follow in Jesus' footsteps is a very serious one. This is why Jesus said to “count the cost.” Luke 14:27-30,33 (NKJV), "And whoever does not bear his cross and come after me cannot be my disciple. For which of you, intending [...]

What should I do to be holy? (Germany)

1 Peter 1:15-16 (NKJV), “as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, ‘Be holy, for I am holy.’” To be holy is to be dedicated to righteousness, love, and justice. It is godliness.  Our [...]

Can law and grace mix? (Liberia)

Grace is unmerited favor from God. We cannot merit or earn any blessings. We are sinners. Everyone is under the death penalty. All of our blessings, especially our salvation, is through God's grace. Ephesians 2:8 (NKJV), “For by grace you have been saved through [...]

Can you expound on 1 Peter 5:10 (KJV), “But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.”? (United States)

How is the Christian perfected (or “adjusted,” Rotherham), established, strengthened and settled in Christ? We realize we have a great work before us. Of necessity, we must be sober, vigilant and steadfast! This is a life work - the mighty foe intrenched in our [...]
