In the economy of God’s revelation, some truths remain veiled until the time appointed for their disclosure. The plan of salvation—God’s design to redeem fallen humanity through Christ—is perhaps the greatest “mystery” in Scripture. Join us as we explore how God intentionally veiled aspects of His redemptive plan, revealing it fully only in Christ, and…
“And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.” – Romans 6:18 (NKJV) Given how highly we value our personal freedom today, the Apostle Paul’s words in Romans 6:18 may sound strange. Who wants to be a slave to anything? Yet Paul presents us with an interesting idea: true freedom comes through…
Did Judas Hang Himself Or Die of a Fall? The death of Judas Iscariot is one of the most sobering epilogues in biblical history. The New Testament provides two accounts of his death: Matthew’s direct narrative and Luke’s record of Peter’s description in Acts. While sceptics have often pointed to these accounts as contradictory, a…
Deep in every Christian’s heart lies a profound question: “Am I truly a child of God?” This isn’t just about belonging to a religious group or holding certain beliefs. It’s about something far more intimate—our adoption into God’s family as His sons and daughters. The desire to know our spiritual status isn’t just a human…
EXPLORING THE PILGRIM THEME IN SCRIPTURE—FROM EDEN TO ETERNITY Hebrews 11:13-16 speaks of the faithful who “confessed they were strangers and exiles on the earth.” These weren’t just wanderers lost in their circumstances—they were pilgrims who’d caught a glimpse of something greater. That familiar ache of not quite belonging, that persistent sense of homesickness…
In Revelation 19, the Apostle John beholds Christ in His triumphant return as the conquering King. Among the striking details of this vision, one particularly mysterious element stands out: “He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself” (Revelation 19:12). This declaration comes in a chapter replete with names and…
In modern Bibles, we encounter a curious phenomenon: verses that seem to skip numbers or appear in footnotes—rather than in the main text. The most notable among these is Acts 8:37, but it’s not alone—13 other verses share a similar status: Matthew 17:21, 18:11, 23:14; Mark 7:16, 9:44, 9:46, 11:26, 15:28; Luke 17:36, 23:17; John…
“Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.” These words of Jesus, recorded in John 14:12, have puzzled many throughout church history. How could Jesus claim His followers would do…
The Apostle Peter’s words in 1 Peter 2:9 are striking: they include one of the most profound declarations of Christian identity in all of Scripture. Writing to scattered believers facing trials and persecution in the first century, Peter reaches back to the language of Exodus and applies it directly to the church. This wasn’t mere…
What do Seventh Day Adventists believe, and how does it differ from traditional Christian teaching? Seventh Day Adventism (SDA) parted ways with the Millerite movement of the 1840s, following the “Great Disappointment” when William Miller’s predictions about Christ’s return failed to materialise. Today, SDA has evolved into a global denomination with millions of members. While…
