What Must I Do to Be Saved?

by

What Must I Do to Be Saved? If God has provided a wonderful salvation through Christ as revealed in the Bible, how can anyone be sure that he has received Christ and is the beneficiary of this marvelous grace of God? The question of what one must do to be saved was asked long ago by the Philippian jailor in Acts 16:30. Paul and Silas had been beaten and thrown into prison in Philippi, with their feet fastened in the stocks. In this painful condition they could not sleep, so they sang praises to God. Scripture records that at midnight, …

Some of these continue to exist today. The Gift of Teaching. One of the important gifts is the gift of teaching (Rom. 12:7; 1 Cor. 12:28; Eph. 4:11).

by

Do You Really Believe in Jesus? Have you ever really believed in Jesus Christ? I was talking to my five-year old son. He replied quickly, “Of course, dad.” “But have you ever really been saved? How do you really know you are saved?” He replied, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved,.” He ripped off the words as fast as his little mouth could phrase them. It was a verse he had memorized, and he had heard it explained so many times. Perhaps you would have answered just as he did. “Of course I am saved. …

The Galatian Solution

by

Reflections The Galatian Solution Christ is become of no effect unto you, whoever of you are justified by the law; you are fallen from grace. (Gal. 5:4) If Christ is of, “no effect,” to us, then from a practical standpoint, we may as well be separated from Him. Christ will not be our life. We will have carved out another life, based on law-keeping — it will be a natural, religious life. This is what happens when we replace CHRIST IN US with the keeping of laws as the means of living the Christian life. What could be more serious …
