Casi todos conocemos este dicho: “Solo se vive una vez”. Pero tenemos que formularnos la pregunta más importante: ¿Qué sucede con nosotros después de que morimos? Ahora mismo tal vez estés muriendo de sed, pero no tienes por qué hacerlo. Del mismo modo, quizá el pecado te abrume, pero no tienes por qué morir en tus pecados. Hay algo que puedes hacer ahora mismo, para asegurar que cuando mueras tengas vida eterna y felicidad.

Some people might think that Easter is about family get-togethers and the Easter Bunny. It is not. Therefore, this text, while focusing primarily on the prophecies of the Prophet Isaiah and especially on those that explain why Jesus was crucified, also discusses prophecies written by other Old Testament prophets. In the first three parts of this text, nine passages from the book of Isaiah will be examined leading up to the crucifixion of Jesus. Those passages are Isaiah 1:18, Isaiah 64:6-7, Isaiah 7:14, Isaiah 9:6-7, Isaiah 42:1-7, Isaiah 41:27-29, Isaiah 61:1-3, Isaiah 50:4-9, and Isaiah ...

The Bible teaches that there are seven separate judgments. This book was written about the first one, which was the judgment of Satan and sin by the cross of Jesus. It starts with Satan sinning in heaven and being cast to the earth. It carefully analyzes the Garden of Eden environment and the whole theology around what happened when Adam ate fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. It considers several logistical questions concerning his sin, the consequences of his sin, and the resulting physical and spiritual separations from God. Once those topics have been addressed, some ...

Luis de Molina's Concordia liberi arbitrii (Harmony of Free Will), first published in 1588, is a landmark work in 16th-century philosophy and theology. Emerging from the revival of Iberian scholasticism during the Reformation era, it grapples with the perennial question of reconciling human freedom with divine grace, providence, foreknowledge, and predestination. This complex problem ignited the fierce De Auxiliis controversy, a major doctrinal dispute within the Catholic Church. This volume presents Part 1: On the Power of Free Will, where Molina lays the essential groundwork for his ...

Is God distant, untouched by our world—or is He actively engaged in it, responsive to our prayers, and personally invested in our stories? Can a timeless Creator actually change course in light of human choices? And what does it mean for that same God to take on flesh, walk among us, and suffer as one of us? God in Motion delivers two powerful books in one volume that pull back the curtain on two of Christianity’s most profound ideas. This accessible and captivating guide invites readers to explore a God who doesn’t merely reign from afar—but moves, responds, and dwells within ...

In an effort to persuade the Calvinists, a fellow minister who used to believe in Calvinism frequently used the term "enabling grace". This prompted the author to write an article on the subject and other topics on Calvinism. With the help of other ministers, by the grace of God, that fellow is no longer a Calvinist. The Calvinists would often make mention of terms such as sovereign grace, efficacious grace, irresistible grace, etc. to mean something different or to emphasize their doctrine. When a Calvinist speaks about "enabling grace", he meant that God's grace cannot be resisted. This ...

This shout of joy is a celebration of the transformative power encapsulated in the name of Jesus. It echoes through testimonies of lives touched by miraculous ...

This book speaks about how we will be saved by God to the ends of the Earth. It shows us boundless faith, a voice of salvation for all our loved ones. This book talks about faith, a living faith that knows no limits, free from prejudices and not constrained by theological traditions; a faith that must flow in all its forms and directions and that can be perceived not only by our intellect but also by all our senses; a faith that liberates all those whom we desire, as long as we dare to believe in Jesus in everything he teaches us in the Gospels. A faith that is not limited by life or death....

El hombre es esencialmente un ser espiritual; eso significa que su existencia no termina el día que sea desprendido del cuerpo mortal que lo retiene en esta tierra. Pero el caso es que el hombre hereda una muerte espiritual desde su concepción; y así nace, muerto en sus delitos y pecados. Afortunadamente, Dios hizo la provisión a fin de resolver ese problema, que el hombre era incapaz de solucionar. Dios envió a su Hijo, al Señor Jesucristo, a que pagara el precio de la muerte en la cruz del Calvario; y una vez justificado, el hombre estuviera en paz con la justicia de Dios y fuera ...

The doctrine of the atonement lies at the heart of the Christian faith. In this book, the doctrine is examined through the lens of the social world of the first century in order to contextualize it, and answer objections to the doctrine of the atonement.

The term “Ordo Salutis” is a Latin phrase meaning “the order of salvation.” The Ordo Salutis is a theological construct of what is believed to be a logical sequence of events in God’s work of saving a sinner and bringing that saved sinner to heaven. The Ordo Salutis as generally conceived begins with God’s choices concerning salvation. The Ordo Salutis I propose begins with God’s decision to create the universe and why he decided to create: to manifest his glory. That beginning affects the way the entire Ordo Salutis is viewed. The focus of this book is more than words, it is ...

This is the most important decision a person will ever make. Eternal destiny is on the line and at stake. The idea bears repeating. God takes the time in Scripture to repeat Himself numerous times. This is the good news of Jesus Christ. This is of the utmost importance as stated by the Apostle Paul. This is the priority. As believers in Jesus Christ, we should draw a line in the sand and stick a flag in the ground over this issue. If a person does not get the issue of the gospel of Jesus Christ right, big time eternal problems. Jesus Christ died. He was buried. And He was raised. This is ...

"There is not and has never been tension between God's sovereignty and man's free will." How can God's absolute sovereignty coexist with genuine human freedom? For millennia, this central free will dilemma has challenged Christian philosophy and theology. It forces rigorous thinkers to confront the tension between God’s foreknowledge/predestination and the human experience of making real choices. Must we compromise God’s power or human agency? Many discussions comparing Calvinism and Arminianism end here, suggesting an irresolvable paradox. Resolving the Free Will Dilemma argues ...

This is a booklet on the topic of assurance of salvation, or, in other words, the certainty of the individual Christian believer that he or she is eternally saved. A practical and pastoral guide to the biblical doctrine of Assurance of Salvation for Christians with citations from Holy Scripture by Rev. Riley Fraas, the Pastor of Hope Congregational Church in Bethune, Colorado.

Committing the sin which can never be forgiven. Looking at what the Bible teaches as the unpardonable sin.

John 17:20 “Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;” In the powerful statement above, we read about Jesus putting His seal of approval on the apostles whom He entrusted to carry on His message after He ascended into heaven. Jesus was able to do this because of His foreknowledge of their future. If they would have strayed from His original intent for them to preach His unadulterated Word, He would have foreknown it, and accordingly would not have directed us to believe on Him through their word. Knowing this important truth, we can ...
