Gospel of Matthew verses

always saved theology. I 'll get to that one a little later on. 2. John 6:39 Wesley, I agree with most of what you said here. I definately believe that this verse indicates that Christ will never ever lose those that His father sends Him. Again, though, I think that this verse speaks mostly to the character of the Christ. When I look at this verse in context, I don 't see evidence that "those who do fall away were not among those given to…

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God…And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us” (John 1:1, 14, English Standard Version). In this verse, it states that Jesus was God, and was with God from the beginning. He then came down and lived on earth as a man. Many years ago this actually happened. It is a fact written in history. Jesus was a man. Jesus came down from heaven. The deity and humanity of Christ is one of the most important parts of the Christian…

season of Lent. What sacrifice will we make this season to help us focus on the cross? How will we use these 40 days to draw closer to the one who created us and gave His all for us? In the past, how much different my life might be if I memorized one verse a day for the next 40 days. Would that cause me to consider my Savior more if I immersed myself in His word and hid it in my heart? Will you consider the lent season? How will you prepare your heart for Easter? Is there something you must…

same time. Only a perfect human could die for human sins, and only an eternal God can provide eternal forgiveness of sin. For that reason, the virgin birth was necessary to fulfill the requirements of the Savior-man. Ryrie speaks of this saying, “Matthew carefully guarded the fact of the Virgin Birth in the genealogical table of our Lord (Matt. 1:16). He recorded that Joseph was the husband of Mary, but that it was by Mary only that Jesus was born. The pronoun “by whom” is feminine singular,…

The reformation’s revolt against the Catholic Church’s theology, practices, and hierarchy climax in a disagreement with the sacramental system which was categorized by these things. Quarreling among reformation leaders was initiated through disagreement about the understanding of Sacraments especially the Lord’s Supper. The leading disagreement of the Lord’s Supper between Luther, Calvin, and Zwingli is Christ’s materiality and presence during the Eucharist. In order to understand the stances…

accountability Erickson uses Deuteronomy 1:39. “And the little ones that you said would be taken captive, your children who do not yet know good from bad—they will enter the land. I will give it to them and they will take possession of it.” In this verse Moses addresses the idea of age of accountability because he tells the Israelites that the sinning they have done will affect them but not the children who do not know what they are…

To place Christ as part of the divine with a singular God was to deny the emperor his power and influence. Facing these tidal headwinds coming from the emperor, the promotion of Christology was viewed as useful propaganda by early Christians. It became a useful guide to explain many of the mysteries surrounding the human nature of Jesus, his good deeds, and his subsequent resurrection into Heaven. While trying to convince an audience couched in Greek philosophy, practitioners of Christology…

Before we can begin a discussion about our need to turn our nation back to God, we must address the relationship between God and the person of Jesus Christ. The Bible is clear that Jesus is God’s only begotten Son. I believe this to be fact. Jesus, however, is also God. I know this is a tough concept to grasp. How can Jesus be God if He is also the Son of God? First and foremost, we cannot attempt to constrain God to the laws of physics that we are subject to. He created these laws and by…

Martin Luther King, Jr. is instilling that with the peace of America, God would see all as his children. This reference can be found in Matthew, chapter 5, verse 9, which reads, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.” One of the strong and powerful lines Dr. King uses comes in paragraph seven. He states, “Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from…
