- God is disposed towards the salvation of people, so he made a way for us to know God and to understand our need for him to save us from our own darkened hearts. The gift is given freely – that is, in the true sense of the word “gift,” God does not expect anything in return except our faith.

Oct 2, 2013 · On the extent of who will be saved, the Bible makes two clear points: God desires that all sinners be saved (1 Timothy 2:4; 2 Peter 3:9; Ezekiel 18:23; Matthew 23:37).

A scene in one of my favorite movies, Return to Snowy River, depicts Mr. Patton, a banker, talking with a British officer. Their discussion involves the ancestry of the movie’s Harrison family. According to Mr. Patton, the Harrison family certainly could not have come from such aristocratic stock as he; they were obviously inferior. After asking a ...
Paul begins in chapter 4 to answer the three questions he has raised at the end of chapter 3. These questions begin to interpret and apply Paul’s teaching in the first three chapters of Romans and serve as an introduction to what follows. Those three questions are: 1. Where is boasting? (3:27-28) 2. Is God the God of the Jews only, or of the Gentil...
In the Old and New Testament, Abraham113 is named in 230 verses. References to Abraham (or Abram) in Genesis 11–25:10 disclose biographical incidents in the life of Abraham.

27 Where then is boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith. 28 For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law. 29 Or is Godthe God of Jews only? Is He notthe Godof Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, 30 since indeed God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircu...
1 What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, has found? 2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about; but not before God. 3 For what does the Scripture say? “And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.” 4 Now to the one who works, his wage is not reckoned as a f...
9 Is this blessing then upon the circumcised, or upon the uncircumcised also? For we say, “Faith was reckoned to Abraham as righteousness.” 10 How then was it reckoned? While he was circumcised, or uncircumcised? Not while circumcised, but while uncircumcised; 11 and he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith whi...
17 (as it is written, “A father of many nations have I made you”) in the sight of Him whom he believed,even God, who gives life to the dead and calls into being that which does not exist. 18 In hope against hope he believed, in order that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, “So shall your descendants b...
If anything is clear in this chapter it is this: Abraham’s justification by faith is precisely the same as that which the gospel offers to all men, Jew or Gentile, today. It is justification based upon the person and work of God, believed by faith, accomplished by imputation. It is a free gift, available to those who are uncircumcised and who are n...
Sep 25, 2017 · Does God ultimately sustain our faith, or do we? Pastor John unfolds 1 Peter 1:4–5 to show how God guards us to the end.
Aug 23, 1998 · One (verse 16) is that the gospel is the power of God to save believers. If we have faith in him we will live and not perish. The other is that the way God saves believers is by revealing (in that gospel) the righteousness of God as a gift “from faith to faith.” The righteousness he demands from us (Habakkuk 1:13) he freely gives to us.
Jan 1, 2008 · Because the new birth by its nature cannot be reversed any more than natural birth can be reversed, it points to the fact that a Christian who is saved by God can have assurance of salvation for time and for eternity. Having received a new nature, however, a believer retains his old nature as well. The Baptism of the Holy Spirit.
