    Paul refers again to how he already knows that the Gentiles are not circumcised when he says, “Listen! I, Paul, am telling you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no benefit to you” (Galatians 5:2). Paul is making it clear that the Gentiles are not circumcised and he is also telling them that just because they are circumcised does not mean that they will be closer with Christ. Instead, he wants the Gentiles to realize that believing in Christ is enough and that being circumcised is just a law and nothing more. Paul goes on to say that people will try to compel the Gentiles to become circumcised but that they should turn it down.…

Our philosophical point of view inevitable inquiries can be molded and shaped by the Holy Scriptures found inside the Bible. Paul puts forward the establishments of the Christian confidence in the book of Romans, and we will incredibly upgrade our confidence by keeping near to these establishments. Aside from confidence, we have no trust in life.

    1 Thessalonians is agreed by most scholars to be Paul’s first epistle written to the Thessalonians from Corinth in AD 51. The purpose of this letter was to defend Paul’s integrity, encourage the church to endure persecution as well as live holy lives, and to comfort and teach the church about Christ’s return. In chapter two and three, Paul is mainly concerned with defending his integrity so he can renew the trust of his readers not only to encourage the believers in Thessalonica but also to ensure that they will listen to the moral instructions he intends to give them in the following passage. In this passage Paul is writing to the church of explicit moral…

In his letter to the saints, Paul details the responsibility of the home, the church, and spiritual leadership in engaging in spiritual warfare to see the glory of God lived out in everyday life. It is within this great letter of exhortation, encouragement that readers find one of the most applicable and needed passages in the entire New Testament. In the sixth chapter, verses ten through twenty, Paul makes real, the active war going on between the people of God and the Christian enemy.

    (7-10) (Ro 9:31 NKJV) “…but Israel, pursuing the law of righteousness, has not attained to the law of righteousness.” - That’s what Paul means when he says “Israel has not obtained what it seeks…” - The Jews sought after Righteousness thru the Law says Paul - Yet the only ones who receive Righteousness are those of the “elect”... all others says Paul have been “blinded” - Like Pharaoh – God has “given” the Jews “blindness” - God’s only responding to their hard hearts, because when a Jew chooses Jesus as Savior…they’re no longer blind…but they can see! NB – some are chosen and some called, and the call is made evident by their choice - While others are left to perish in their unbelief due to their hardened hearts Matthew Henry - “The sun softens wax and hardens clay”…
