The Word was God

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, and without Him nothing was made that was made.   John 1:1-3 In a previous article (In the Beginning), we had established that John is demonstrating Jesus’ deity as he opens his gospel and throughout the book of John.   We have seen through the study of just the first six words of his gospel “In the beginning was the Word” that: As we begin to look at the remainder of our text, it is important that we get a good working definition of the word ‘God.’  This may seem strange and unnecessary as we all know who God is, but do we understand the basic title ‘God’ as found in our passage and other parts of the Bible? ‘God’ is too often mistaken as being the Almighty Father’s name. Yahweh is the name our God expresses as His in Exodus when talking with Moses at the burning bush.  This name is His covenant name with the people of Israel.  The word ‘God,’ in the New Testament and the Septuagint is derived … Read more

The Prepositions Of Christ

The smallest words can be the most important ones. All scripture is inspired of God and represents the words the Spirit guided the apostles to write to communicate the mind of God to us. This fact makes each word significant. This is especially true in regard to the propositions chosen by the Spirit of God to describe the relationships of men and women to Christ Jesus. Even two letters can make the difference of how our life here is lived and where we will spend eternity. Which ones describe your present relationship to Him? In this broadcast of Let the Bible Speak, we learn about some of the Prepositions of Christ.

Excuses, Excuses

Real reasons or empty excuses? One of the oldest habits of mankind is to justify decisions and actions that would otherwise meet with disapproval. Jesus knew that His kingdom offer would be met with rejection and illustrated the fact with a story about people who were invited to a great supper. Their cold rejection of the gracious invitation was softened by the excuses they all began to make. The master’s response was a warning to all who make excuses for not doing the will of God even today.

Reconciled To God

Many have suggested that every Christian is an ambassador of Jesus Christ and represents the Lord before the unbelieving world. The Apostle Paul had something else in mind when he said to the Corinthian church that “ambassadors for Christ” were entrusted with the “ministry of reconciliation.” In this broadcast of Let the Bible Speak, we learn the significance of both phrases and how they actually relate to we who were lost in our sins.

Did Peter And Paul Preach Different Gospels?

The great Apostle Paul was a pillar in the church throughout the Greek world. This ambassador of King Jesus was dispatched to carry the message of the Heavenly Monarch to the Gentile nations. Was the gospel he was entrusted with different from that of Peter and the other apostles who were there when the gospel was first preached to the Jews on the Day of Pentecost? Some allege that Peter was given the gospel of repentance and submission to the Lordship of Christ, whereas Paul was given the gospel of grace and that modern Christians should look to Paul and not Peter for instruction. In this broadcast of Let the Bible Speak we ask did Peter and Paul preach different gospels?
