Jn. 14:26 – I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; I love to look at Bible words. This verse contains a classic example of looking at shades of meaning in the original Greek New Testament. In this passage Jesus is teaching His disciples …
Jn. 15:7 – If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. Oneness, that is what our hearts are crying out for and that is what Jesus is describing through this powerful illustration of the Vine and the branches. He is the …
Jn. 15:1 – I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. This picture of the grape vine falls in one of the most critical places in all of scripture. God’s revelation of Himself in Christ is coming to a climax. Jesus has just served the Last Supper to His disciples, washed their …

Rom. 10:10 – for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. How do you know if someone you know or maybe a new friend that you meet is actually saved? Or even more disturbing, how do you know if you are saved? Many will …
Jn. 4:13,14 – Jesus answered and said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again; but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.” Jesus loved …
