What counts as a 'good' person?
Every person has a different definition of what is moral.
Even then, people still disagree. Some think it is okay to tell 'white lies', while others think it is wrong to tell any lie…
The case for the Bible’s divine authority moves from science to legal-historical reasoning: if God exists and Jesus is God, then His endorsement of Scripture affirms it as God’s word.
The Bible doesn’t shy away from scrutiny. It claims to be a truthful record of real events witnessed firsthand—statements that open the door for legal-style examination of its reliability.
The Bible doesn’t just tell stories—it claims to be the very words of God. But can those claims stand up to scrutiny? This article examines how and why we can trust its divine authorship.
Morality and ethics are not just about survival or social order — they speak to something deeper. Our sense of justice, goodness, and beauty suggests that there is a Source beyond ourselves. The Moral Argument points to this: that the existence of moral values requires an all-knowing, all-good Lawgiver — God — who not only created what is good, but also calls us to live by it.
The cosmological, teleological, and moral arguments all point to the existence of an all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-good God. The world’s existence, its purposeful design, and our innate sense of right and wrong together suggest a Creator who not only made all things but also communicates with us—laying the foundation for believing the Bible is His word.
God not only created the universe but designed it with purpose, seen in the fine-tuned systems of nature and life. This intentional design points to a Creator who seeks to communicate with us—laying the foundation to trust the Bible as His word.
Before accepting the Bible as God’s word, we must first be convinced that God exists. The intricate order of creation—from galaxies to subatomic particles—points to a powerful Creator. Scripture and reason alike testify to a universe that is not random, but intentionally designed by an all-knowing, all-powerful God.
Learning God’s word requires more than just access to material—it takes motivation, method, and a clear purpose. Without conviction in the Bible’s divine authority, many lack the drive to study it deeply or apply it skillfully.
Can we truly trust the Bible as God’s inspired word—or are we merely taking it at face value? If we claim to follow Scripture, we must first be sure it’s worth following.
Even with abundant Bible resources today, motivation remains the key challenge. If we’re not fully convinced it’s God’s word, why would we strive to master it?
To be skilled in God’s word is to interpret it rightly and apply it faithfully. Scripture calls us to treat the displaced and the stranger with compassion, remembering we too are sojourners seeking a better home.
What sets true disciples apart? Here’s how Scripture shapes every part of a Christian’s life—and why handling God’s word well still matters today.
The Law of Moses could never remove sin or justify the sinner. But works of obedience—done humbly and in faith—are essential for salvation by grace. Scripture affirms that true faith is made complete by such obedience.
The Law of Moses taught about sin but could never justify the sinner. Only through faith in Christ—and not works we can boast of—can righteousness be accounted to us by God’s grace.
The Bible clearly distinguishes between works of human boasting and works of obedient faith. While the Law of Moses cannot justify, God's grace saves those who obey His commands by faith—without expecting merit or reward. True faith is made perfect by such obedience.
Faith is not a substitute for obedience—it is made perfect by it. Scripture harmonizes the role of grace, faith, and works in salvation, showing that while no one is justified by works alone, no living faith exists apart from them.
Do passages like Romans 3:27-28 and Romas 4:2-5 teach that baptism it not a necessary step to salvation?
