Day 20: One Must Be Saved As Authorized in Scripture

There is no Bible doctrine more important than salvation, for this concerns one’s spiritual condition, the state of one’s relationship with God and the eternal destiny of one’s soul.  This is not a matter that can be taken lightly, nor should we just assume that what others have told us is Biblically accurate.  There is only one place that we can turn…

Day 19: God Wants All People to Be Saved

You will not find two things that are more polar opposite than “God” and “sin.”  Sin is the most devastating disease on the face of the earth, because of who it afflicts and because of its eternal consequences.  “Sin” separates man from his “God,” because sin is contrary to the holy nature of God (Hab. 1:13).  Yet, even though man sins by…

Day 17: The Lord’s Church Still Exists Today

The church of the New Testament was vitally important and incomparably valuable to Jesus!  He had planned for it before the Creation (Eph. 3:10-11).  He came to this earth and promised to build it Himself (Matt. 16:18).  He ensured its coming by purchasing it with His own blood (Acts 20:28).  He sent the Holy Spirit to establish it in Acts 2 (2:32-47). …
