Key-verse: "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under Heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved" (ACTS 4:12). Salvation is the theme of this great key-verse; but what is meant by the term "salvation"? When anyone is saved does it simply mean that he is saved from…

Key-verse: "For God so loved the ~world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (JOHN 3: 16).

Scripture Portion: 1 Thessalonians 3: 1-10 Anyone who reads Paul’s two letters to the Christians at Thessalonica will be impressed with the fact that the Apostle was deeply concerned for the welfare of these new converts.

Scripture Portion: 1 Peter 4: 1-11 God calls us His servants, but He also calls us His stewards. There must therefore be a distinction between a servant and a steward.

Scripture Portions: John 14: 26; 15: 26-27; 16: 7-15 Reference is made to the Person and work of the Holy Spirit no less than six times in these two Letters.

Scripture Portion: Acts 9:1-22 A subtitle for this study would be “What God can do with a man”, for in 1 Timothy 1:16 Paul speaks of his conversion as “an example for those who would believe on him…” The word ‘example’ is a very interesting one. The Greek word conveys the idea of a pencil sketch which…

Key-verse: "I, even I, am He that blotteth out thy transgressions for Mine Own sake, and will not remember thy sins" (Isaiah 43: 25). If you were to visit a jeweler’s shop and ask to see a diamond, the first thing the jeweller would do would be to place a black cloth over his counter, and he would then…

Scripture Portion: Acts 20: 17-38 In this passage of Scripture, which contains the record of Paul’s charge to the Ephesian elders, we have the portrait of a true servant of the Lord. God has not only made us members of His family, calling us His children (Romans 8:16), but He has called us into His service…

Scripture References: Hebrews 11:31: Joshua 2:1-24; Joshua 6:17,20-25 The Heroes of Faith in Hebrews Eleven were far from perfect. There were failures and inconsistencies in their lives, but their names are included because of their faith. Our sins and our follies are always wrong and must always be…

Key Verse: “Submit to God and be at peace with Him; in this way prosperity will come to you.” (Job 22:21) In Job 22:21-29, which section of scripture is introduced by our key verse, we are told of the good, the blessing, the benefits which will come to us if we really know God. Of course, there is a…
