The Written Word Of God Versus Fresh Revelation

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Aug 16, 2019

God's Desire For His People

Contributed by John White on Oct 3, 2019

To understand the full import of the words we will consider today we must apply the simple rules of Bible analysis. The letter is written by Paul to those who are saved, baptized and in fellowship in the assembly. But the letter is obviously a personal letter from God to His people.

GOD'S DESIRE FOR HIS PEOPLE I Thess. 4:13-18 "But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring ...read more
