We are told that we are saved by grace through faith.  Ephesians 2:8-10 “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.  For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared […]

It is indeed sad when a person does not feel loved.  A child that doesn’t feel loved will probably not develop normally and may become suicidal or rebellious.  A spouse that doesn’t feel loved may become cold and indifferent and may seek a divorce.  Any individual who feels loved is happier and life has more […]

Many Christians and non-Christians do not appreciate the love that God has for us.  Since we don’t hear the sound of His voice or see His face, He may seem distant and uncaring.  But John told us in 1 John 4:7-11 “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who […]

God has truly loved us.  John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”  Perhaps the greatest demonstration of His love is when He sent His beloved Son so that we may have everlasting life. However, let […]

“God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” (James 4:6, 1 Peter 5:5) Pride is not of the Father but is of the world.  1 John 2:15 “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For […]

“God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” (James 4:6, 1 Peter 5:5) I remember one time that I proudly said that I don’t have a problem with pride.  How far from the truth that was.  Of course I have a problem with pride!  I don’t have to be a braggart and make […]

“God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” (James 4:6, 1 Peter 5:5) Do you remember what happened to King Nebuchadnezzar because he was proud and took all the glory for his greatness upon himself?  Daniel 4:30-37 “The king spoke, saying, ‘Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for a royal […]

What is death?  From the world’s perspective, when a person dies they cease to exist; death is the end of the person.  But physical death is not the end.  John 5:28  “Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice and come […]

It seems obvious that for one to be a Christian, one must believe in God.  Hebrews 11:6 “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”  But God has chosen to justify […]
