Sinclair Ferguson on the Importance of Christology
“We all unanimously teach that our Lord Jesus Christ is to us one and the same Son, the self-same perfect in Godhead, the self-same perfect in manhood; truly God and truly man … acknowledged in two natures, unconfusedly, unchangeably, indivisibly, inse…
Calvin on John 10:27-30
My sheep hear my voice. He proves by an argument drawn from contraries, that they are not sheep, because they do not obey the Gospel. For God effectually calls all whom he has elected, so that the sheep of Christ are proved by their faith. And, indeed,…

Sproul on John 3:16 and the Ability to Choose God
The Bible teaches that we were predestined to be adopted into the family of God (Ephesians 1:5). Jesus says that whoever comes, He will not cast out (John 6:37). Considering these passages, we see that John 3:16 says that “whoever believes in Him (Jesu…
Getting John 3:16 Right
The world’s most famous Bible passage happens to be John 3:16, which says:For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life (LSB).For those who do not believe in God’s s…
What If There is No Hell?
The Doctrine of Hell is one where most people can never accept. There are even some Christians who say that a loving God can never send people to Hell. We have some who profess the name of Christ saying that God did not invent Hell, we did. Some would …
All Authority Belongs To Jesus
“All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.” This is a truth which is declared by Paul to the Philippians: God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name (Philippians 2:9). It is a truth which in nowise t…
A Sermon Series on the Cessation of the Revelatory Sign-Gifts

Why Do We Not Have Sacrifices Anymore?

2 Chronicles 7:14 Has Nothing to Do with America
For most Americans, they have probably went to a church that prayed for their country. There is nothing wrong to pray for the nation you live, but we, in the United States, have a tendency to grab one verse out of the Bible and claim it as if we were W…

Why The Cross is Fertile Soil for Fearing God?
The cross is the most fertile soil for the fear of God. Why? First, because the cross, by the forgiveness it brings, liberates us from sinful fear. But more than that: it also cultivates the most exquisitely fearful adoration of the Redeemer. Think of …
Martyn Lloyd-Jones: Test Your View of the Cross
The Cross does not merely tell us that God forgives, it tells us that that is God’s way of making forgiveness possible. It is the way in which we understand how God forgives. I will go further: how can God forgive and still remain God? — that is the qu…
Feelings is Not A Means of Grace
We must never forget that good feelings alone in religion are not the grace of God. We may know the truth intellectually. We may often feel pierced in conscience. We may have religious affections awakened within us, have many anxieties about our souls,…
Sin is Lifting Ourselves Against God
Sin is not just the foolish mistakes you have made or the way you have brought trouble to your life or that to others. When you confess your sin, you are admitting that you have lifted yourself up against God. You are acknowledging that you have refuse…
Grace Divorced from Wrath is Meaningless
Grace loses its meaning when it is divorced from the gospel revelation of the wrath of God against sin and the sufferings of Christ on the cross to atone for sin. Peace loses its meaning when it is no longer seen as a precious gift purchase for us as a…
