he “reasoned … from the Scriptures” (v. 2). That Paul “reasoned” is something the evangelical church especially needs to hear today since we have a tendency to denigrate reason. We say, sometimes on supposedly theological grounds, “If the Holy Spirit is the one who has to bring men and women to faith, then it doesn’t...
“knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.” (Romans 6:9–10, AV 1873) He conquered death and sin. “But ye are not in the flesh, but...
I highly recommend reading the whole of the post from which this is an excerpt. Raymond Ortlund Jr. has tried to imagine the church without the gospel. “What might our evangelicalism, without the evangel, look like?” he asks. “We would have to replace the centrality of the gospel with something else, naturally....
Jesus is the Word of God. Of that we have no doubt. What some do doubt is that Scripture is God’s Word. Some even deny it. Why do some think that Jesus being the Word of God and Scripture being the Word of God are mutually exclusive propositions? Do you wish for the short...

For He was not, as might be imagined, circumscribed in the body, nor, while present in the body, was He absent elsewhere; nor, while He moved the body, was the universe left void of His working and Providence; but, thing most marvelous, Word as He was, so far from being contained by anything, He...
The discussion of Jesus’ humanity and ignorance is an important discussion. The whole issue is one of balance and humility. It is an issue of balance because of the need to remember that Jesus is both God and man. The two natures of Christ are neither mixed nor separated within Him. He is one...
“I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will...
The Incarnation of The Son of God “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and...
