Through the New Covenant, that everlasting promise which God has made to us through His Son Jesus, it is promised to us, “that He would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve Him without fear.” [Lk 1:74] Through Jesus alone, for He is the only Savior, …

Bearing Sweet Fruit
For every man, whether young or old, rich or poor, free or bond, Jew or Greek – there is one, single source of satisfaction and life. That source is Jesus Christ, who says, “I am…the life.” [Jn 11:25] “In Him was life,” and He is “The Prince of Life.” [Acts 3:15] Jesus our Lord “is …
The Total Surrender of The Passover Lamb
One of the greatest typologies in The Bible of Jesus is The Passover Lamb. When John saw Jesus, he said, “behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world;” [Jn 1:29, 36] and Paul writes, “Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us.” [1 Cor 5:7] Just as God told Israel to, …
An Outpouring of Grace
Though in Catholicism, Mary is lifted up above normal men and women, nearly crossing over into divinity, the scriptures do not paint such a picture. The last recorded words of Jesus’ earthly mother in God’s word are, “whatsoever He saith unto you, do it.” [Jn 2:5] This word spoken of Jesus Christ is very fitting; …
Being an Extension of Christ’s Grace
Noah Webster defines grace in a few ways. Among other definitions, he says grace is, “favor; good will; kindness; disposition to oblige another;” or, “the free unmerited love and favor of God, the spring and source of all the benefits men receive from Him.” [Webster] And favor, a close synonym to grace, means, “kind regard…support; …
Marriage: The Husband’s Greatest Ministry
Though we are often tempted to categorize the things in our lives as spiritual and holy versus fleshly and worldly, much, if not all, of what we possess, whether tangible or intangible, can be used for The Lord’s service. Speaking of the Millennium, a time when Christ rules literally and bodily upon the earth, (Him …
The Husband’s Lifelong Service
In the Gospel of John, Jesus gives His disciples, and us, a very important command. In his epistle, John names this both “an old commandment which ye had from the beginning,” and, “a new commandment.” [1 Jn 2:7-8] The reasoning he gives is, “because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.” [1 …
A Righteous and Good Covering
There came a point in David’s reign where, “satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel.” [1 Ch 21:1] And so, having been prodded on by satan, who wished to get the advantage over Israel, it came to pass that, “David said to Joab and to the rulers of the people, Go, …
Approaching Him Freely & Safely
Jesus’ love for us is one of the most pleasurable things in life, and something that ought to provoke us not only to praise and thanksgiving, but also unto sacrifice, as Paul says, that we “which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto Him which died for them, and rose again.” [2 Cor …
A Godly and Christ-like Attitude
When Christ cried out from the cross, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? Which is, being interpreted, my God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me,” [Mk 15:34] it was not the first time in history those words were heard. Long before Jesus came from heaven to earth, this sentence was prophesied. The Spirit speaks through David …
