The Law: Its Meaning, Purpose, and Fulfillment in Christ

The concept of "the law" in Scripture is foundational to understanding God's character, human sinfulness, and the need for a Savior. The law reveals God's standard of righteousness and the reality of our inability to meet it. This study will explore what the law is, the distinction between ceremonial and moral law, why Jesus fulfilled the law, and how the law points us to Christ for salvation. What Is "The Law" in the Bible? The term "the law" in Scripture often refers to the commandments and instructions given by God, primarily through Moses. The books most commonly referred to as the...

Sin is the fundamental issue separating humanity from God. It is not a minor flaw but a total failure to meet God's perfect standard of righteousness. While the world often celebrates human goodness, Scripture reveals that all fall short of God's glory and need the perfect sacrifice found only in Jesus Christ. Humanity Loves to Praise Their Good Works It is human nature to exalt personal goodness and self-righteousness. People often compare themselves with others to justify their moral standing. However, the Bible makes it clear that our "good works" fall far short of God's standard of...

The idea of making a covenant with our eyes originates from Job 31:1, where Job declares, "I have made a covenant with my eyes; why then should I look upon a young woman?" This profound statement reveals Job’s commitment to purity and integrity. In this study, we will explore the implications of this covenant, what it means to guard our hearts and minds, and how we are refreshed through the renewing of our minds in Christ. The Eyes: The Window to the Soul The Bible emphasizes the significance of the eyes as more than just physical organs—they are intimately connected to the condition of...

As believers, we are called to honor God in every aspect of our lives, including how we treat our bodies and minds. The question of whether a believer should smoke marijuana to get high must be approached with Scripture as our guide. While the Bible does not mention marijuana specifically, it speaks extensively about being sober-minded, avoiding drunkenness, and seeking the Holy Spirit’s influence above all else. Being Sober-Minded and Spirit-Filled The Bible repeatedly commands us to be sober-minded and not to be under the influence of anything other than the Holy Spirit. Ephesians 5:18...

The question of when life begins is foundational to any discussion about reproductive technologies like in vitro fertilization (IVF). Scripture is clear that life begins at conception, and any action that destroys or disregards human life is grievous in the eyes of the Lord. As believers, we must approach this sensitive and deeply personal issue with both compassion and an unwavering commitment to God’s Word. Life Begins at Conception From the very beginning, Scripture affirms that life is sacred and begins at conception. In Psalm 139:13-16, David declares, "For You formed my inward...

Abortion is a deeply polarizing topic in our world today, but as followers of Christ, we look to the Word of God for truth. What does the Bible say about life, the unborn, and our responsibility as believers? Let’s explore Scripture, scientific evidence, and the ethical reality of abortion together. God’s Image in Every Human Life The Bible begins with a profound declaration in Genesis 1:27: "So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them." This truth defines our value as human beings. We are made in God’s image, distinct from all...

Let’s begin with the source of our morals. Where does our sense of right and wrong come from? Morality is not subjective or based on personal feelings; it’s objective, grounded in the very nature of God. The Lord has given us a moral law that defines what is right and what is wrong. It is written in Scripture and in the conscience of every person (Romans 2:15). God’s moral law is the standard by which we live, and His design for marriage and sexuality is clear: marriage is between one man and one woman. God's Design for Marriage From the very beginning, God established marriage as a...

Let’s dive in today and talk about love—the kind of love that’s far deeper and more powerful than what the world often thinks. You see, biblical love isn’t just an emotion or a warm, fuzzy feeling. It’s not something that comes and goes based on our mood, like a Hallmark movie. It’s a choice, an action, and it’s rooted in the intentions of our hearts. Jesus made this clear when He said, “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends” (John 15:13). Real love sacrifices. It serves. It acts. The Different Types of Love in the Bible In the New Testament, we...

The sanctity of life is a deeply rooted principle in the Christian faith, grounded in the belief that every human being is made in the image of God. This divine truth shapes our understanding of life’s inherent worth, beginning at conception and extending to all stages. In today’s discussion, we’ll explore what it means to be created in God’s image, how Scripture confirms the personhood of the unborn, and why Christians must stand firm in defending the value of life. Created in God’s Image: A Special Creation Genesis 1:26-27 declares, “Then God said, ‘Let Us make man in Our image,...

In an age where truth is often seen as subjective and shifting, Christians hold fast to a different understanding: Truth is objective, unwavering, and personified in Jesus Christ. Jesus declared, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me” (John 14:6, NKJV). This profound statement encapsulates not only who Jesus is but also sets the foundation for understanding truth itself. What Is Truth? In its purest form, truth is that which aligns with reality as determined by God, the Creator of all things. It is not shaped by human perspectives or changing...
