Salvation is a free gift. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, and we all sin, but the GIFT of God is eternal life. What do you have to do for a free...

Judges 9:4 - 5
I think the answer is pretty obvious. If we read Matthew 6:7-14 (also in Luke) we find the Twelve asking Jesus for advice on how to pray, and Jesus instructs...

The leper's response has always been a bit curious to me, as well. Maybe the leper was acknowledging that he was in the presence of the Lord who does...

Kenneth, Salvation is a one-time event. Eternal life with God is not a revolving door--sometimes you're in, sometimes you're out. Rom 10:9-10 tells us what...

Kenneth, That's the whole point of grace. We don't deserve it because we remain sinners as long as we are here on this earth. The Bible never says we go back...

If I am interpreting the question correctly, I would say that swimming in a public pool (or any similar setting, such as a beach) would not be a sin in and...

The basic question here is salvation a process or is it a one-time event? Salvation isn’t always guaranteed regardless of human behavior. Apostates (those...

I am a parent; how can I let go of my adult children?
I would say that, although God would certainly be capable of speaking to people through dreams or visions today, there might not be as much need for Him to...

We all sin, First John 1:8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. That is why Jesus had to die for us. Once we believe,...

In my opinion The Rich Man and Lazarus is not a historical account of two individuals’ literal experiences in the afterlife. It’s only a parable – one of the...

If we die before repenting of a specific sin, we are still saved. Why? Because if we have faith in Christ, then God looks at *Christ's blood* and is appeased...

This is why the cycle of sin, repentance and forgiveness is a lifelong process which without the Holy Spirit very few would succeed at. You can't be saved...

Oh, boy, Kenneth. If being saved means never sinning, none of us are going to make it! None of us is perfect, even after being saved and receiving the Holy...

I do believe the case can be made for eternal punishment, and hell being a place of torment. Luke 16: 23 And in hell he lifted up his eyes, being in...
Why do dreams seem to help us know God’s will today? (Judges 7, esp. verse 15) -- 13 Gideon arrived just as a man was telling a friend his dream. “I had a...

What makes us a peculiar people is that we know we have eternal life because we have believed the gospel of our salvation. Peter is writing to the Hebrew...

Thank you, Ariel, I find his very helpful. I wonder, though, do the Jewish people today still have this "ethnic-based" view of salvation? Your discussion...

Such a great in-depth answer. I know it was typed a while ago but we'll said. Nick.
In my opinion, the leper's statement was indicative of 1) his faith in the ability or power of Jesus to heal him of his disease; 2) the respect that was due...
