Rom.10:12,13 – For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him; for “WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED.” In this passage we see the call of God to all mankind so that …
Rom.4:3-5 – For what does the Scripture say? “ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS CREDITED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS.” Now to the one who works, his wage is not credited as a favor, but as what is due. But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his …
Isa.48:6,7 – You have heard; look at all this. And you, will you not declare it? I proclaim to you new things from this time, Hidden things which you have not known. They are created now and not long ago; And before today you have not heard them, So that you will not say, ‘Behold, …
Eph.5:31,32 – FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND HIS MOTHER AND BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE, AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH. This mystery is great; but I am speaking with reference to Christ and the church. The mystery that Paul was describing boggles the mind, especially the mind of …
Isa.25:6 – Now the LORD of armies will prepare a lavish banquet for all peoples on this mountain; a banquet of aged wine, choice pieces with marrow and refined, aged wine.

Rom.1:1 – Paul, a bond-servant of Christ Jesus, called as an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, I like to stop and take notice of the little things Paul said at the beginning and ending of his letters. On second thought those little things may be quite important when we see them from …
Gal.1:15,16 – But when He who had set me apart even from my mother’s womb and called me through His grace was pleased to reveal His Son in me so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, Paul’s letters, and even his sentences, are absolutely loaded with divine revelation. How could they not, they …
Heb.3:1 – Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession: Jesus; Over the last several years there has been a widespread drift toward worldly attitude and behavior throughout the church; maybe the troubles that became more widespread since 2020 have set in on God’s …
Jn.3:16 – For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
