1 Pet 1:7 – That the trial of YOUR faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ. The thing that distinguishes a believer from a nonbeliever is the exercise of faith, OUR…

Rom 10:9 – If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved. There is great controversy within many Christian circles today about the term “Lordship” salvation. It is centered around the question of whether or not a Christian is…

1 Pet 3:12 – For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil. This remarkable and pointed statement from the Apostle Peter, which is a direct quote from Psalm 34, comes immediately following a…

Ps 19:7 – The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. Gods law, which is His commands and precepts, has always been, and continues to be, absolutely perfect in every way. Even today, under the new covenant and in the age of…

Ps.127:1 – Unless the LORD builds the house, They labor in vain who build it. It’s been distressing lately to read and hear of so many once revered Christian leaders who have fallen in such a surprising and shameful manner. Oftentimes the details of their misdeeds are downright shocking and span years, and sometimes even…

Heb 3:19 – So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief. Faith and obedience go hand in hand, you cannot separate the two. Obedience to the Lord, his commands and his precepts, IS the measure of our faith. We cannot say we have a strong, vibrant faith and yet walk in…

Jn 8:12 – Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. Jesus pretty plainly states here that those who follow him shall not walk in darkness. Not “should” not walk in darkness, *shall*…
