GOD SPARED NOT In 2 Peter 2:4-7; several times the word of the Lord says, “God spared not;” the righteous and holy judgment of God fell without any mixture of mercy on many. The angels that fell were judged and cast out. The rebels in Noah’s day were judged and with the flood of God’s […]
OUR LORD’S PRAYER FOR US “I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou has given me; for they are Thine” – John 17:9 The prayer of the believer’s High Priest is like all His redeeming work, effectual, particular and satisfying to God. The intercession of the Lord Jesus Christ […]
CHRIST DIED FOR OUR SINS ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES “For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures” (1 Corinthians 15:3). The gospel is not just that Christ died. The gospel is how that He died for us according to God’s eternal […]
Who Will Be Justified Before God?I recently asked a local religious leader who would be justified before God at the judgment seat of Christ (John 5:21-22)?

Let Us Labor to Rest “Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest” (Heb. 4:11). Seems to be a contradiction in terms, labor to rest; but in reality, it is not. Let us eagerly strive and earnestly pursue to count all our works as “dung and filthy rags” and to “cease from our own […]
DESCRIPTION OF THE LORD’S PEOPLE Rom. 16:1-27 Tom Harding When we are reading Romans 16 there is a tendency to read over the first 24 verses and skip down to the doxology of praise in verse 25-27. We have not only in these verses the 36 names of some God’s elect chosen in Him before […]
What Is It To Preach The Gospel? Psalm 130:5-6 The Apostle Paul said, “Though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of” (I Cor. 9:16). What is it to preach the gospel?

Isaiah 42:4 Tom Harding “He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law” (Isaiah 42:4). To you who believe the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, this is one of the most precious promises in all scripture (2 Peter 1:4). The […]
