Jesus Christ Our Prince-Ruler, Our Ruler-Prince During His First Advent, Christ (Messiah) earned the title “King of kings and Lord of lords” (1 Timothy 6:15). Our Lord Jesus Christ defeated satan at the cross. For winning the strategic victory in the angelic warfare, God the Father gave Him the title above all titles and caused the humanity of Christ to…
A daily study of God’s Word is imperative. It is commanded in Scripture. “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Romans 12:2). “Our inner man is being renewed day by day” (2 Corinthians 4:16). “Be renewed in the spirit of your mind” (Ephesians 4:3). “Man shall not live on bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of…
The doctrine of The Deity of Jesus Christ the Son of God is the most important doctrine in the Bible. A study of the deity of Christ cannot exceed God’s own presentation from His divine viewpoint, which is manifested in Scripture. Therefore, the Word of God must be presented and accepted as inerrant, literally alive, and therefore the absolute representation…
The Deity and Humanity of Jesus Christ is the most important doctrine in the Bible. Occultism surrounds the deity of Christ as Eternal God, and failure of the occult to distinguish between the Deity of Christ and the Humanity of Christ. Satan always attacks the Deity of Christ and the Cross of Christ. The Person of Christ as true Humanity and…
God’s perfect character is His holiness – His absolute integrity. His integrity consists of His perfect righteousness and His perfect justice. Because God is absolute, He is perfectly faithful. Jesus Christ (the Son) satisfied the righteousness and the justice of the Father on the cross. This satisfaction is called “propitiation.” When Jesus died for you, He paid your penalty (death-sentence)….
The Doctrine of God – A Systematic Approach The Bible assumes the existence of God; it does not attempt to prove God’s existence – it simply states “In the beginning God” (Genesis 1:1; John 1:1). God’s existence is presupposed. “The fool has said in his heart, ‘There is no God,’” (Psalm 14:1). Denial of God is due to moral depravity,…
Grace Glorifies God We cannot even begin to know our Great God and Savior until we understand grace. The word grace in the Greek is charis. Charis means limitless and/or measureless. Grace is God’s plan for believers before, during, and after salvation, as outlined below: Basically, there are three parts to God’s plan for mankind. Part One: Salvation – positional…
God reveals Himself in many ways, such as His Son, His Holy Spirit, His Word, creation, and recorded history. But, He also proves Himself by the future through prophecy. God’s mighty works and power are everywhere displayed. God is the only accurate prophet. A God that transcends time and space is incomprehensible. But, God is not beyond our natural senses….
Grace defined – (several factors involved): Grace is all that God is free to do for mankind because of Christ – His cross sacrifice. FACTORS: God is free to express His love toward us because of Christ and what Christ accomplished on the cross. The important thing in divine love is character, NOT sentimentality. God loves us because of who…
How can I express the inexpressible? Perhaps… silence? If I listen to music, music expresses itself. If I watch and listen to creation all around me, creation expresses itself; if I look closely, I see beautiful expressions inexpressible. I perceive that the inexpressible must, by necessity, express itself. We must learn to look and listen to the inexpressible. God is…
Bible doctrine enters the mind as knowledge. By faith, it is transferred to the believer’s human spirit and becomes wisdom. Wisdom then gives us God’s own divine viewpoint, feeding our spirit and nourishing and refreshing our soul. God’s perspective gives us power and vision to make Godly decisions. Through His Holy Word, God’s perfection enters us in this life. In…
A Summary of the Seven Metaphors 1. The Sheep and the Shepherd. a. This is the leadership metaphor. b. The chief shepherd leads by means of his voice. The mind-thinking of Jesus Christ is now preserved in the completed canon of Scripture. c. The leader has the best intentions for the church – abundant life. d….
MAN IS THE RECIPIENT AND BENEFICIARY OF GRACE BECAUSE OF CHRIST Second only to the Doctrine of the Deity of Christ, the most important study we will ever undertake is the Doctrine of Grace – God’s graciousness. We cannot even begin to know our Great God and Savior until we metabolize His grace. The word grace in the Greek is…
It is extremely important that we understand the uniqueness of our Lord. He is our Savior. Who could ask for anything more? But God, without asking anything more, gave us so much more in the unique person of His Son, even when we were not alive to earn it or to ask for it. The grace of God is freely…
Genesis 1:1 through 2:8 is like a target with concentric lines leading to a bullseye; a beginning point between man and God; a place where truth becomes reality and reality becomes false. God’s Plan centers around Christ, the Personification of Truth. Each facet of Scripture is designed as a directive, pointing to the bullseye – Christ. Humanity has a sin…
Webmaster’s Note: A deeper understanding of both God and the Word comes not only from accurate Bible study materials and proper instruction, but also from you. When you take your time, meditate upon key points, and look up given verses for yourself, your walk with the Lord takes on a whole new meaning. We encourage you to enjoy your time…
God is the mature believer’s superhero on the stage of human history. Threads of spiritual heritage from the wisdom of ages are sewn together to form the mosaic of God’s love throughout the ages. God’s love for us was poured out for us in eternity past, with the result that our love for God is poured out toward God in…
Jesus did not think of His deity as more important than our souls. The very nature of deity precluded the fact that any member of the trinity could be judged for sin. Eternal life can neither be born, nor die; holiness cannot have anything to do with sin; omnipresence cannot be reduced to one point (the cross); immutability cannot change….
Humanity is anointed. Deity is Eternal God. Blasphemy is rejecting Christ. God came to rescue humanity from sin-darkness, which is separation from God. Jesus, in His humanity, is the long awaited Messiah – the Davidic Messiah of Israel. Jesus is the anointed one, sent from God, baptized for power by the Holy Spirit of God the Father, thereby uniquely empowered…
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1). When we see the moon, the sun, the stars, and all of creation, it is with physical sight. When we reflect on Hebrews 11:1 as we look upon all creation, it is spiritual insight – the meeting of sight and insight, thus proving…
