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*…

Luke 8:17 – For nothing is hidden that shall not become evident, nor anything secret that shall not be known and come to light. A Christian should never have anything that needs to be hidden in their lives, nothing. There should be no regular or even periodic activity in the believers life that they would…

Are you saying that a Christian is expected to be perfect and never sin again once saved? Unfortunately, that is the common charge made against anyone who preaches a strong holiness message. So let me put it this way, I am not saying that a Christian won’t ever be tripped up as a result of…

Rom 1:16 – For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. It is often thought that when you hear the phrase “Preach the Gospel” or “Don’t be ashamed of the…

Matt 24:12 – And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. It is God’s desire and will that we, who are called by His name, would always have and maintain a close connection to and warm fellowship with Him. That our pursuit of Him in the day to day would result…

2 Cor 5:9 – Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. Think of this passage for a minute, re-read it and let it sink in. The Apostle Paul here declared that he continued to “labour” for God’s acceptance, and by extension that we should to. The word “labour”…

Rom 7:18 – For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. There is a very popular viewpoint in Christian theology and teaching about the 7th chapter of Romans that the…

Rev 21:7 – He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. The promise of the Kingdom of God is for those who overcome. Seven times, for each of the seven Churches in Revelation chapters 2 and 3, the promise was granted “to he who…

God is Love, so his actions are always motivated by that love, even in judgment. In Old Testament times, when he allowed wicked kings to rule over Israel and oppress them, it was for one reason, to humble them and bring them to repentance. When Israel repented and turned back to God, he relented and…

John 14:6 – Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Matt 7:14 – Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Jesus did not refer to himself…
