The Need for Repentance
God wants us to change our minds about our sin. If we do that, if we stop glorying in our sin, then we will turn away from our sin and replace it with living for Jesus according to his will as revealed in the New Testament. This in turn will lead to salvation.… Read More The Need for Repentance
Hebrews: The God of Peace
God is certainly “the God of peace” (cf. Romans 15:33). One of the blessings of being a Christian is the privilege of taking everything to God in prayer and receiving “the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding” (Philippians 4:6-7). This peace comes because Christians have been reconciled to God through the death of Jesus (Romans 5:10). Praise the Spirit of God who “brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus” (cf. Romans 1:4)! Jesus is indeed the Christian’s “great shepherd” (cf. John 10:11; 1 Peter 5:4). It is through his blood, “the blood of the eternal covenant” of the New Testament, that salvation is offered to all (cf. Matthew 26:28; Titus 2:11-12). Anyone can receive that salvation when they believe in Christ, repent of their sins, and are baptized into Christ for the forgiveness of their sins (Mark 16:15-16; Acts 2:36-39; 22:16; Galatians 3:26-27). That is how one becomes a Christian.… Read More Hebrews: The God of Peace

Consider everything in this life which changes and the uncertainty and stress those changes bring. Families change. Governments change. Jobs change. The economy changes. Our health and the health of those whom we love changes. Sometimes even Christians change and lose their love for God (cf. Revelation 2:4-5). Yet Jesus the Christ – the Anointed of God, the Messiah, our Savior, Lord and King – never changes. That’s basically the theme of the whole book of Hebrews. … Read More Hebrews: Jesus Christ Never Changes
Hebrews: The Lord Is My Helper
Quoting the Lord’s promise to always be with Joshua (Joshua 1:5), the Hebrew writer applies it to Christians also. This is why we can “confidently” join with Hebrews in quoting Psalm 118:6: “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?” Friends, this is one of the greatest blessing Christianity offers us. God is our constant source of aid and comfort (2 Corinthians 1:3-5). He will always be with us, and what a wonderful relief that is!
