Many on this forum are quick to point out that the new covenant promise was only for the house of Judah and the house of Israel but can never come to terms with the fact that only the house of Judah remained in the 1st century. All the disciples of Christ were most likely from Judah or Benjamin...

Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. For he that is dead is freed from sin - Rom. 6:6,7. Whenever sin is mentioned in the scriptures it is seen by the vast majority as this bad deed or that bad...

Paul's relation to the law in Romans can be very confusing to the casual bible student. It is confusing because Paul will uphold the law in one passage and then condemn it in the next. To add insult to injury he speaks of the law of the Spirit and the law of faith and the law of commandments...

Paul states point blank that Christ is the end of the law for righteousness for everyone that believes - Rom. 10:4. Belief or faith is the only requirement under the gospel which sweeps away all the works of man. The glorious good news of the gospel is that Justification is a universal and...

But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter Rom. 7:6. We established back in chap. 2 that the law of God is broken up into the letter and the spirit and here this teaching is...

What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: Rom. 7:7. Once again the true purpose of the law is to reveal sin. The law of God has two faces. When the law encounters the believer in Christ filled with the love of God it smiles with happy...

Many Sabbath/law proponents are very vocal in their belief that Sunday keeping is the mark of the beast. While most mainline Christians who have no set teaching on this see legalism or a fall from grace as the worst sin a Christian can commit. So please vote and share your thoughts.

Love is often diminished by Christians who see it as little more than a second rate emotion or fickle human passion but not so by the NT writers. Jesus said the new commandment by which all will know we are his disciples is love. Paul the great champion of faith said that without love faith is...

Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh...

Jesus mentions the gospel going to all the world in the last days and many are familiar with the message of ‘Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved’ but few are familiar with the gospel message of ‘Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ because you have already been saved’. This is...

In Romans 4, belief or faith is contrasted with working to pay off a debt. Grace that is received by faith is wholly unmerited by the sinner and this is where the ‘unmerited grace of God’ is defined by scripture. Grace goes against everything we have ever been taught by the world. In the...
