It is common knowledge among believers that the greatest gift ever given is the gift of eternal life. This gift is available because God was willing to give, as a gift to the world, His only begotten Son. This is what the scripture is talking about when it says, “Thanks be unto God for His unspeakable gift (1 Cor. 9:15). There is no debate over this issue, it is unquestionably accepted that this is the...read more
This is the time of the year when everyone is in the holiday spirit. People are giving and receiving gifts, families are getting together for celebration feasts and the kids are eagerly looking forward to waking to find out if they have been naughty or nice.

When it comes to becoming a Christian, we have to say that it is all God’s work. He is the initiator, He is the one who reached out first to mankind. It is He who made the way clear so that we could be saved. If it were not for this initial work of God in reaching out to man, there would be no salvation and man would forever be doomed to live and die...read more
I think that sometimes we need to take a fresh look at salvation and all that is involved in it. We know that salvation is by grace through faith. It is also the free gift of God that no man can earn by works or deeds. (Eph. 2:8-9) If salvation is a free gift that is not earned or deserved, then why does this verse say that we are to work out our salvation? It...read more

I was fascinated by the sounds, colors and smells that always accompanied a campfire.After finally going to bed, the very first thing that I did when I woke up the next...read more

He didn’t give us a list of arduous tasks to perform, or a certain number of years that we had to work so that we could attain our salvation. He made is plain and simple. He gives it to us as a gift that we can neither earn nor deserve.It is amazing to...read more
I get so tired of hearing the skeptics and the doubters talk about how that God wants His people to barely get by. For some unknown reason to me, they cannot find it in themselves to believe that God is not only good, but that He delights in blessing His children.The devil has really done a snow job on some people. He has them thinking of God as a mean old miser who has plenty,...read more
Upon initial consideration of this verse, most of us would say, “Oh yea, I know what that means.” To a degree, that would be correct. The first and obvious truth that jumps out at us is that Jesus is found to be the Savior and the door through which we enter into eternal life.As true as this is, there is so much more to discover in this small verse. First, and foremost, we find that...read more
