The Key To Righteous Living

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 15, 2014

Jesus came not to destroy the law, but to keep and fulfill it. We also are required to be obedient to the law - not indeed as a means of salvation (which it could never be) - but as an expression of our love and service.

THE KEY TO RIGHTEOUS LIVING. Matthew 5:17-20. 1. Jesus’ statement is emphatic:- “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill” (Matthew 5:17). The righteousness of God is the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the end of the law, the one to whom ...read more

The Letter And The Spirit

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 20, 2014

Having embraced the gospel ourselves, we are motivated to share it with others. How? Our sufficiency is in God.

THE LETTER AND THE SPIRIT. "We are not sufficient of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves;" says Paul in 2 Corinthians 3:5, "but our sufficiency is of God." Paul then goes on to contrast the ministry of the New Testament with that of the Old; the glory that shone in ...read more

This message encourages people to grow up and think for themselves. In the history of redemption, God’s people were once children in His eyes. Now, since Christ has redeemed us, we are adult sons, free from the guardianship of the law.

During that time, they were also preparing for a son’s birthday party. When Marian asked him whom he ...read more

Parting The Hoof And Chewing The Cud

Contributed by James May on Apr 7, 2004

The Old Testament Laws found in Leviticus still have relevance in our lives today. God still has laws that govern who is acceptable as profitable servants.

Seventh Commandment (8 Of 12)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022

I would like to remind you again of the importance of considering why God gave these ten commandments to Israel.

Why? God gave them to Israel before they entered the promised land as they were forming a new nation. He knew that the people needed laws to govern the people by. Every person could not just do as he pleased, when he pleased, to whomever he pleased. Today we would like to deal with the seventh ...read more
