Jesus is the savior of all. The scriptures say “For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive” (1 Corinthians 15:22). (All means all and that’s a promise). “Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people, [...]
Jesus gave a clear explanation of what qualifies one to become a Christian in Matthew 16:24, "Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me." What does this [...]
“This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as [...]
We believe that one reason for the “disconnect” you spoke of may be the element of sacrifice that “works” involves. It is far easier to believe that faith alone is all that is needed in order to enter heaven. Although faith in Jesus’ incredible sacrifice [...]
We believe that in order to go to heaven a person must be seeking the Lord and righteousness and believe that Jesus was the Messiah who died so that the entire human race would have a chance for salvation either in heaven or on [...]
Our belief is that hell is not a scriptural concept, and that salvation is available to all of humanity, but that availability exists on two levels, heavenly and earthly. The subject of the two parts of salvation is basic and crucial for understanding God’s [...]
God created man in his “image” (Genesis 1:26-27), which means that man has the ability to reason and to make choices. God could have made man a robot to always do what is right, but then he would not be in God’s “image.” God could [...]
“For we that are in this tabernacle [earthly body] do groan, being burdened [oppressed by the evil influence of the world]: not for that we would be unclothed [lose our imperfect human bodies in death], but clothed upon [be clothed with our heavenly dwelling], [...]
“Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before whom heaven must receive until the [...]
We have every reason to expect the world's conversion to Christ not many years hence, but perhaps this work will be brought about in an entirely different way and manner than is usually supposed. The Scriptures clearly foretold that the world would be far [...]
Acts 3:25 states, “And you are heirs of the prophets and of the covenant God made with your fathers. He said to Abraham, ‘Through your offspring all peoples of the earth will be blessed.’” This promise was given to Abraham in Genesis 22:18 and [...]
The Scriptures abound with illustrations which were intended to portray the varying conditions of the Christian's experience, and, unless we give careful attention to the details of these word pictures, we are liable to become confused as to their true significance. In the conversation [...]
From the Genesis statement (`Gen. 5:22-24`) and the Apostles' words in the 5th verse of this 11th chapter of Hebrews, (`Heb. 11:5`) we are inclined to believe that the Lord translated Enoch that he should not see death; that in some way Enoch's life [...]
The answering of this question involves the consideration of the doctrines of "Election" and "Free Grace," both clearly taught in the scriptures, as all Bible Scholars recognize. It is only within recent years that the beautiful harmony existing between these two doctrines has been [...]
The term "regenerated" is equivalent to the expression of being "born again." There are only two places in the Bible where the expression "regeneration" occurs. In Titus 3:5, it is used to represent the reforming and justifying influences of faith in the Redeemer, the [...]
1 Timothy 2:4-6, "Who will have all men to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time." God will have all men [...]
The word "paradise" signifies "a delightful garden, park or pleasure ground." The Garden of Eden was the original paradise, where man dwelt before disobeying the Divine command. Because of disobedience, he lost this paradise (Genesis 3:22-24).When the race of mankind again comes into harmony with [...]
If ignorance were a basis of salvation, then all should have been left in ignorance, for then all would have been saved. And if the heathen are saved through ignorance, then also all of the babies and children who have died before attaining years [...]
The Word of God does not support the idea that one cannot lose their salvation, which is the concept of "Once in grace, always in grace". Please consider the following verses: JOHN 15:6, "If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth [...]
The "kingdom" in this scripture represents those who become true followers of Jesus. "Keys" are a symbol of power to open. Jesus gave the Apostle Peter the authority to first open (or preach) the message and work of the gospel to the Jews, and later to the Gentiles. [...]
