The Pre-eminence of Christ

The theme of the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Colossian Church is “the pre-eminence of the Lord Jesus Christ.” The word pre-eminence means “surpassing all others” That is, superiority. Paul identifies  seven characteristics of Christ to substantiate His pre-eminence, which he identifies and lists in Colossians 1:15-20. Also, let’s keep in mind that Christ is the Head of the Body—The Church, where all believers are members. Paul states: “For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one Body . . . For the body does not consist of one member, but many” (1 Corinthians 12:13,14). This speaks for the Church […]

Why Christmas?

What is the meaning of Christmas? Why do Christians celebrate this annual event? Some may ask. And we born-again believers in the Lord Jesus Christ have the answer. Christmas is a most joyful occasion for Christians around the world to observe and celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. The birth of Jesus is an announcement of God’s plan of salvation for humanity. The celebration of Christmas goes back over 2,000 years ago when an angel announced: “For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord” (Luke […]

The All Sufficient Christ

Salvation delivers Christians from the dictates and practices of the old sinful nature, which cannot please God. Writing to born again Christians in Rome, the Apostle Paul puts it this way, “For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God’s law; indeed, it cannot. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God. You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit dwells in you” (Romans 8:7-9). Therefore, no Christian has anything to fear or doubt, neither can anyone condemn us because […]

The Pre-existence of Jesus Christ

Does the Bible mention that the Lord Jesus Christ actually existed before His human birth? And, is there sufficient evidence in both Old and New Testaments to support this view? Let’s read on.  The fourth Gospel clearly states, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, snd without Him was not made anything made that was made. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us” (John 1:1-3,14). Doesn’t this sound very familiar with the “beginning of beginnings” […]

Christ — The Christian’s Life

Accepting Jesus Christ as Savior is not just attending Church on Sundays, or becoming a member of the church, or getting to go to heaven, and having some thoughts about religion. It’s much, much more than that. Coming to know Jesus Christ as one’s Savior is only the beginning of the Christian life. One is saved to become a disciple of Christ. This means having a personal relationship with Christ each and everyday. The Bible says, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has past away; behold the new has come” (2 Corinthians 5:17). […]
