No one can read the Bible without being reminded of the displeasure of the Lord with those who deliberately refuse to walk in his ways. What is said of the punishment meted out to the ungodly antediluvians, and the wicked inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah, shows how he deals with sin. While he is...
There is no such thing as sanctification without the blood of Christ, for in Hebrews 13:12 we read: “Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.” It will thus be seen that the blood of Christ, shed for the remission of sins, plays its part...
There should be no question about the necessity of the rite of baptism. When Jesus sent forth his apostles to teach or disciple all nations, he directed that penitent believers should be baptized “into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost” (Matthew 28:19). He also declared, “He...
We are told that “without faith it is impossible to please God” (Hebrews 11 :6), and that “he that believeth not shall be damned” (Mark 16:16). Paul and Silas said to the jailer: “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved” (Acts 16:31 ). Does it, then, follow that one can...
Nicodemus, a ruler among the Jews, and a man of some distinction, heard much about the preaching and work of Jesus, and one night called on him, evidently seeking information regarding his claims. Jesus at once presented, for his consideration, one of the fundamentals of his teachings, saying: “Except a man be born of...
In the process of conversion, as set forth in the New Testament Scriptures, there is a divine part, as well as a human part. Man performs the human part, while the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, look after the divine side. The lack of this very necessary distinction, when treating the subject...
The Bible is divided into two general divisions-the Old Testament and the New Testament. The former, beginning with Genesis and closing with Malachi, covers the whole period of the world’s history from the creation to within about 400 years of Christ. For centuries it has been held that the first five books of the...
The Bible not only supplies the spiritual cravings of man, but it bears upon its face the unmistakable evidence of an Inspired Volume. It is made up of sixty-six books, written by half as many men, who lived at different periods of the world’s history, and in different parts of the earth. They wrote...
Repentance means a reformation of life. It further means to “cease to do evil; learn to do well” (Isaiah 1:16, 17). Jesus makes repentance imperative, and what he once said, regarding those who were killed by the falling of the tower of Siloam, applies to all: “Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish”...
In some of the chapters, already given, frequent reference has been made to the Trinity, the union of the three Persons–Father, Son, and Holy Ghost–in the one Godhead. As presented to us in the Scriptures, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are equally divine, and also personally distinct from each other. In a certain,...
