Our Custodian (Galatians 3:15-25)
One of the characteristics of God is that He does not change. We can take great comfort in this. How tragic it would be if all our lives we did our best to do God’s will, only to find out that what pleased Him in the past is the very thing which brings His anger […]
The Basis Of Justification (Galatians 3:1-14)
Do we trust in our own good works to save us from our sins, or do we rely on the work of God to do so? In his letter to the churches in the Roman province of Galatia, Paul forcefully stated that the followers of Christ are not obligated to keep the Law of Moses. […]
Not By Observing The Law (Galatians 2:11-21)
The first people to become followers of Christ were Jews. When non-Jewish people wanted to follow Him, the question arose whether they would have to obey the Law of Moses in addition to following Christ. In his letter to the churches in the Roman province of Galatia, the Apostle Paul argues that the gospel is […]
No Compulsion To Circumcise (Galatians 2:1-10)
Suppose that you wish to travel to a certain place. If there is only one path by which you can reach that place, it is obvious that anyone who points you to a different way is leading you astray. If you follow what they say, you will not reach your destination. This is why the […]
The Revealed Gospel (Galatians 1:11-24)
Some decisions are not that important. For example, it probably won’t make much difference what color of shirt you decide to wear today. On the other hand, what we decide in regard to salvation is of extreme importance. How tragic it would be to stand before God at the judgment only to find out that […]
No Other Gospel (Galatians 1:6-10)
From where does the impulse to seek salvation come? Is it from within ourselves, or does God call us? How can we obtain salvation? Through our own efforts, or by the grace of God? In his letter to the followers of Christ in the Roman province of Galatia, the Apostle Paul emphatically insists that it […]
Apostle of Good News (Galatians 1:1-5)
Perhaps the most important question we can ask is how to be at peace with God. We might ask the same question in other ways, such as, “How can I go to heaven?” or, “How can my sins be forgiven?” No matter how we ask it, the basic concern is what will happen to us […]
Called to Belong to Jesus Christ (Romans 1:1-6)
We pay attention to what someone tells us only if we believe that he knows what he is talking about. To put it another way, we don’t listen to people whom we believe are ignorant about the subject under discussion. For example, if someone who has no experience in building tries to tell us how […]
Introduction to Paul’s Letter to the Romans
Most of the books in the New Testament are inspired letters written to a person or church to address a specific situation or problem. A question would arise about a particular issue and the church would ask an Apostle to clarify the matter. For example, the church at Corinth had some questions regarding marriage, food […]
God’s Provision
One of the interesting things about the book of Jonah is that it discloses a different perspective than we normally have concerning God’s character. Jonah repeatedly uses the same Hebrew word to describe God’s actions. Chapter one verse seventeen says that, “Yahweh prepared a great fish…” In chapter four and verse six, “Yahweh God prepared […]
