The Rewards

by

The Rewards Passages speak of these rewards as being crowns. The Greek language has two words meaning “crown.” One is the word diadem, which is a king’s crown, the crown of a sovereign, a person who is royal by his nature and by his position. This is the kind of crown that Jesus wears. The second Greek word translated “crown” is stephanos, a crown given to an overcomer, a victor, one who has won a race. This kind of crown is available to believers because they overcame in the spiritual warfare and are now crowned at the Judgment Seat of …

FAITH AS A GRAIN OF MUSTARD SEED

by

In Matthew, chapter 18, verse 20, it says, “If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Be removed and cast into the sea, and it shall be so’.” At first glance, this verse could appear to mean that we should have the power, by faith, to ‘move mountains’ or anything else we desire. But, of course this is not in accord with the rest of scripture. So why does Jesus say this to His disciples?   The context of this verse is in regards to faith. He says to them that if …

What is the human condition? According to the Bible, the human condition is: There is no one righteous, not even one; there …

“O that I knew where I might find Him!”—Job 23:3.

by

“O that I knew where I might find Him!”—Job 23:3. IN Job’s uttermost extremity he cried after the Lord. The longing desire of an afflicted child of God is once more to see his Father’s face. His first prayer is not “O that I might be healed of the disease which now festers in every part of my body!” nor even “O that I might see my children restored from the jaws of the grave, and my property once more brought from the hand of the spoiler!” but the first and uppermost cry is, “O that I knew where I might …

Living in Grace

by

Living in Grace 2 Corinthians 5:17 17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. Before the apostle Paul’s conversion, if someone had suggested that he would impact the world for Jesus, he’d probably have laughed. In fact, his original goal was to rid the world of Christians (Acts 22:19-20). God’s grace can impact anyone; no sin is beyond the reach of His forgiveness. This amazing gift of redemption changes lives. Contrary to what many think, being a Christian does not mean adding good deeds …
