Anyone who has trusted Jesus Christ as Savior is  “A new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come” (2 Corinthians 5:17). So says the holy Scriptures. Old refers to the old lifestyle—the corrupt sinful nature every human being is born with. No one is exempt. “For there is no distinction; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:22,23). Sin means “to miss the mark.” Anything that falls short of God’s glory is sin. The Bible also makes it clear that “None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All […]

How many of us have ever asked ourselves this question which is asked in the Scriptures? And the answer follows, which may not be what some of us care to hear. No mortal man or woman can guarantee his or her own life. The Scripture makes it clear, “Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit”—yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then […]

Every human being since Adam (God’s first created man) needs mercy and grace, whether it is acknowledged or not. The problem is that without exception, every human being has sinned. We read: “For there is no distinction; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:22,23). Sin means “to miss the mark,” that is, anything that falls short of God’s glory is sin. God’s word declares: “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned—every one—to his own way; and the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all” (Isaiah 53:6). In his commentary, William MacDonald wrote: “The […]

Which way is the right way in life? Generally, it can be said that there are people who think and believe that, in many situations, their way is always the right way or the best way. Remember Frank Sinatra of yesteryear fame of whom it was said, “he did it his way.” We have also heard it said of others, “It is either his way or the high way.” Some of us may have had to deal with this type of person. When it comes to heaven, how do you hope to get there? Well, you may ask, what that […]

The Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Eternal God, is the believer’s Great High Priest. The letter to the Hebrews states, “Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in […]
