What is it that awaits the righteous (the believer)? An inheritance that is said to be ours – intended for us – (Acts 20:32) (Galatians 3:18) (Colossians 3:24)  (Hebrews 9:13-15) (1 Peter 1:3-5). This inheritance is part of God’s predetermined will for us. So just as God predetermined that those in Christ would receive a place in His heavenly family (Ephesians 1:5), so He also predetermined that His sons/daughters would receive an inheritance, and get this, they would have it forever (Ephesians 1:11-14). How does one get …

(Romans 3:10-18)…..As it is written: “There is none righteous, no, not one; ¹¹ There is none who understands; There is none who seeks after God. ¹² They have all turned aside; They have together become unprofitable; There is none who does good, no, not one.” ¹³ “Their throat is an open tomb; With their tongues they have practiced deceit”; “The poison of asps is under their lips”; ¹⁴ “Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.” ¹⁵ “Their feet are swift to shed blood; ¹⁶ Destruction and misery are in their ways; ¹⁷ And the way of peace they have not known.” ¹⁸ “There is …

(Acts 26:8)….”Why should it be thought incredible by you that God raises the dead? Note the present tense of this verse. It does not say God previously raised the dead or God will only raise the dead in the future. Think about this…..our God is “I AM” – not “I WAS” or “I WILL BE” (Exodus 3:14). In other words, God is always the same, yesterday, today, and forever, and He can raise anyone from the dead at any time without breaking a sweat. (John 5:21)…..”For as the Father …

(Romans 8:32)…..He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?

Most people approach prayer as an exercise in convincing God to help. They think they must twist God’s arm, or promise to do something, in order to get God to give them something. The New Testament paints a different picture. God not only is a willing giver, but has already given! He is not holding back on us in any way! When …

One of my favorite passages in God’s word is (Psalm 2). This Psalm speaks to the eternal, powerful, unchanging rule of God. (Psalm 2) is a Messianic Psalm, that is, it is a prophesy of Jesus Christ the Messiah hundreds of years before He was born into this world. This psalm not only spoke powerfully in the day it was written, but it speaks powerfully and prophetically to us as the Church today. No matter how dark the times, how wicked nations become, we can rest with assurance that Jesus …

(Ephesians 3:21)…..To Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

God Himself must reveal his glory to us; then alone are we able to know and glorify Him aright. There is no more wonderful image in nature of the glory of God than we find in the starry heavens. The telescopes, which are continually made more powerful, have long proclaimed the wonders of God’s universe. And by means of photography, new wonders of that glory have been revealed. A photographic plate fixed …

(1 Corinthians 4:1-5)…..Let a man so consider us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. ² Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful. ³ But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by a human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself. ⁴ For I know of nothing against myself, yet I am not justified by this; but He who judges me is the Lord. ⁵ Therefore judge nothing before the …

(Hebrews 10:19-20)…..¹⁹ Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh….. I can remember when I first came across this verse in my studies of Hebrews. I love how Christ Himself is the veil between the Holy God, and sinful people. How the veil of the temple was only a type or picture of Christ Himself. He being that veil only goes to show that unless …

( 1 Corinthians 11:2-16)…..Now I praise you, brethren, that you remember me in all things and keep the traditions just as I delivered them to you. ³ But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God. ⁴ Every man praying or prophesying, having hishead covered, dishonors his head. ⁵ But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for that is one and the same as if …
