1 CORINTHIANS 15 Now if Christ is preached that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? (1 Cor. 15:12). One of the most critical questions asked of Christians is the inquiry concerning life after death. People want to know whether there … Continue reading “LIFE AFTER DEATH”

ALL STAND GUILTY
ROMANS 3 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). Yesterday we studied how natural man denies the existence of God and refuses to worship Him. During the next six studies we will examine objections people raise in denying the truth of Christianity. One of the most frequently asked … Continue reading “ALL STAND GUILTY”
CHRIST THE ONLY WAY
JOHN 14 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me” (John 14:6). Yesterday we affirmed that all men stand guilty before God because they have transgressed His law. Once people admit to this guilt, they often question why Christ is the … Continue reading “CHRIST THE ONLY WAY”
NARROW IS THE WAY
HEBREWS 2 How shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation … (Hebrews 2:3a). Continuing our study of common objections to the faith, another question that closely follows “Why is Christ the only way?” is “Why is God so narrow-minded that He would provide only one way?” To answer this question we must … Continue reading “NARROW IS THE WAY”
THE PURITY OF GOD’S WORD
PSALM 12 “The words of the Lord are pure words, like silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times” (Psalm 12:6). Psalm 12 most likely refers to a time when David was fleeing from Saul. The circumstances appear extremely difficult because even the faithful have turned away. David’s cry that the godly are … Continue reading “THE PURITY OF GOD’S WORD”
“GOD’S CHOICEST WINES”
PSALM 13 But I have trusted in Your mercy; my heart shall rejoice in Your salvation. I will sing to the Lord, because He has dealt bountifully with me (Psalm 13:5–6). Samuel Rutherford wrote, “When I am in the cellar of affliction, I look for the Lord’s choicest wines.” In Psalm 13, David describes what … Continue reading ““GOD’S CHOICEST WINES””
HARDENED BY SIN
PSALM 14 The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, they have done abominable works; there is none who does good (Psalm 14:1). When man rejects true religion and denies the very existence of God, moral decay is sure to follow. This psalm probably refers to a desolate and … Continue reading “HARDENED BY SIN”
GIVING GOD THE GLORY
PSALM 9 But the Lord shall endure forever; He has prepared His throne for judgment. He shall judge the world in righteousness; and He shall administer judgement for the peoples in uprightness (Psalm 9:7–8) Returning to the Psalms, we study Psalm 9, in which David exalts the righteous power of God. David celebrates victory over … Continue reading “GIVING GOD THE GLORY”
TRUSTING GOD AMID EVIL
PSALM 10 Break the arm of the wicked and evil man; seek out his wickedness until You find none (Psalm 10:15). Psalm 10 accurately captures the distress of the righteous man continually facing the atrocities of a wicked society. The ungodliness that abounds around him even causes him to despair that God is not involved … Continue reading “TRUSTING GOD AMID EVIL”
FORTIFIED BY FAITH
PSALM 11 In the Lord I put my trust. How can you say to my soul: “Flee as a bird to your mountain”? (Psalm 11:1) In Psalm 10, David was tempted with despair when he observed the overwhelming ungodliness around him. In Psalm 11, he again is tempted to doubt God but this time due … Continue reading “FORTIFIED BY FAITH”
