He is able…Hebrews 7:25 Jesus continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood, Hebrews 7:24. Therefore, He is able to save to the uttermost…since He always lives to make intercession for us, Hebrews 7:25. Jesus is our High Priest. He is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners and has become higher than the heavens…Hebrews 7:26. Jesus has […]
By the trickery of men…Ephesians 4:16 The context of this statement is why Christ gave the church pastors and teachers, Verse 11. And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers. For this reason, we continue to teach sound doctrine. It is unsound—false—doctrine that leads people astray: that we should […]
After He offered one sacrifice for sins forever…He sat down; Hebrews 10:12 Verse 15: for by one offering He has perfected forever those who are sanctified. There is no need for any further sacrifices. It is finished. For some reason people are not satisfied with His one offering for sin. They want to do more. Perhaps […]

God inspires Paul to write about this truth several times in many of his letters to the churches; that is, you. In 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 and 1 […]
For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily…Colossians 2:9 Paul used this same word, Godhead, in Romans 1:20: Even His eternal power and Godhead… It is a single Greek word, NT2320. The word appears only twice in the New Testament, in Romans 1:20 and Colossians 2:9. It means deity. Which is how the NIV […]
All Scripture is inspired by God…2 Timothy 3:16 This means we are not allowed to pick and choose which verses we accept and which we reject. The Scriptures are the word of God; God-breathed. The same Bible that taught us we were sinners introduced us to our Savior. The same verse which speaks of “the […]
For His name’s sake…3 John 7 God’s name is sacred to Jews. So sacred they rarely use the biblical name of God in conversation or in writing. Instead, they would use other Hebrew words to refer to the name of God. HaShem is one of those words. John wrote his three letters in Greek. Because […]
