Theology Set Forth

• For God so Loved the World . . . OK, So What? - If you are a true believer in Christ, you should enjoy the peaceful assurance that when Christ returns you will not perish in God's fiery judgment of unbelievers. But true faith is grounded on facts, so for your confidence to be unshakable, you need to be convinced of the truth upon which it rests. In other words, you must be able to correctly and confidently answer the question, "Why will I not perish?" Read this article online - Download (USA) - A4 Download
  
  
• The Importance of Fearing the God You Love - "Aside from atheists and people in false religions, most people would argue that God should be loved. Jesus went so far as to say that the obligation to love God is the foremost commandment in Scripture (see Mark 12:29-30). What is not universally agreed upon is whether or not God should be feared."

• WHAT IT MEANS TO PRAY IN THE NAME OF JESUS - "If you ask anything in my name," Jesus promised, "I will do it." (John 14:14). What incredible confidence this should infuse into our prayers! But do we tap the power and potency of heaven simply by tacking the words "in Jesus' name" onto the end of our prayers? No. There's more involved.

• Global Warming: The Great Understatement - "According to widely publicized scientific studies, the carbon emissions from cars, power plants, and factories are causing our planet to lose its protective layer of atmospheric ozone.

• Why I Long for Eternity - "I love thinking about eternity. My favorite thoughts, however, are not of the heavenly city with its gold streets and jeweled walls (cf. Rev. 21:18-21). That city will be impressive, to be sure, but it is not all there is to our future existence."

• I Believe in the Resurrection "The resurrection of Jesus Christ has been called the central teaching of the Christian faith, the heart of the Gospel, the cornerstone of our theology, and the basis of our hope as believers. Perhaps that explains why the truth of the bodily resurrection of Christ has been under attack since the very day the tomb was discovered to be empty (Matthew 28:11-15)."

• The Mighty Hand of God - "'Hand' is anthropomorphic language, used to describe something not human as having human form or attributes. God's "hand" is the power He possesses and uses to accomplish His sovereign will."

• What and When God Remembers - "Though the concept may seem strange, the Bible occasionally declares that God "remembers" one thing or another. But we must not assume that God has "forgotten" something for a time-and then suddenly "remembers" it again. When God "remembers," He has simply determined that the time for action is at hand."

• Understanding the Fall of Man - "Basic Truth" series, #5 "Adam and Eve were the only two human beings (apart from Christ) to enter into life with a will that was truly free.

• Understanding Man's Inability - "Basic Truth" series, #6 "The Bible speaks of two kinds of people: those who have been "born again" (John 3:3, cf. James 1:18), and those who remain in their sinful corruption—the "natural man" (1 Cor. 2:14). Only the person who understands the gospel and believes in Jesus Christ will be saved. But which kind of person truly believes? A better question might be this: Which kind of person is able to believe?" Read this article online - Download (USA) - A4 Download

• Understanding the Death of Christ (Part 1) — "Basic Truth" series, #8 "As important as faith is in salvation, when a person believes and is justified, it is not faith that saves him—not even partially. Faith cannot appease God's wrath. Only the blood of the perfect sacrifice can accomplish that."

• Understanding the Death of Christ (Part 2) — "Basic Truth" series, #8, part 2 "It is futile to attempt to prove that Jesus secured these benefits for all people. The fact is, if a person is never justified, his justification was never secured by Christ. If a person is never reconciled to God, his reconciliation was never secured by Christ.

• Understanding the Ascension — "Basic Truth" series, #10 "God has always held ultimate power, and Jesus is God. But Jesus is also fully man. No man (or angel for that matter, including Satan) has ever held absolute power or been the ultimate sovereign over heaven and earth—that is, until the resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ. Jesus, the God-man, now sits at the right hand of God (a biblical figure of supreme power and authority; cf. Eph. 1:20-21; Heb. 1:3-4; 1 Pet. 3:22). Having saved His people, He rules over all things for their sake."
