The Father’s Love and God’s
We have already seen that all who have been born of God and have believed on the Name of the SON, have been given the right by Him to take their place as children of God, and that the HOLY SPIRIT witnesses with their spirits that they are the children of God. We must now consider them in relation to... Read More

The Father’s Name
Descending in a cloud the Lord proclaimed to Moses the name of JEHOVAH; and somewhat of the wealth of that name is found in Exodus 4:5-7; also the value of it in the experience of others in a multitude of Scriptures which follow (Ps. 86:15; Jon. 4:2, etc., etc.). Previously the Lord said to Moses, “... Read More

The Father’s Name for Preservation
Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God; and those who own Him to be the Christ, the Son of the living God, have not learned this from flesh and blood, but the Father has revealed it to them. This we learn from the Lord’s words to Simon Peter, in Matthew 16. Upon this rock the ... Read More

The Father’s Name in Manifestation
The Father’s Name has been manifested by His Son in the world—manifested in pure and sovereign grace. Of old He was revealed as the Creator, as the Almighty, or as the All-sufficient One, and as Jehovah; but by the Son the ineffable Name of Father has been manifested. Until the Son came to reveal Hi... Read More

The Father’s Name Made Known
“O righteous Father, the world has not known Thee: but I have known Thee, and these have known that Thou hast sent Me” (John 17:25). Everyone that the Father has given to His Son will come to Him; and He has said, “No man can come to Me, except the Father which has sent Me draw Him”; also, “They sha... Read More

The Fear of the Lord
“Be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long,” is a healthy and necessary word. The grace of God has done much for us: it has saved us, it has justified us freely, it has redeemed and reconciled us to God, and we do well to respond to the exhortation, “Wherefore, we receiving a kingdom that can...

The Fight of Faith
Some time ago a strange-looking preacher was seen and heard in a city market place. He stood on the Spot where the glad Gospel of God’s Son had won many a triumph, and taken many a trophy from the slavery of sin and Satan—trophies that still tell by life and lip of the forgiving and preserving grace...

The Five Unfoldings
The Holy Spirit gives us in the Gospels a complete fourfold picture of our Lord Jesus Christ; but He adds, through Luke, a further disclosure of Him, giving us a most necessary and wonderful complement to what is termed “The former treatise” (Acts 1:1) which had been set out “with method” or “order”...

The Gift of the Spirit
Answer to Correspondence—Why was the gift of the Holy Spirit made so prominent in the early preaching? The question raised is an important one. Prominence was necessarily given to the gift of the Spirit at the beginning, for that had been the subject of prophecy, and godly souls rightly expected thi... Read More

The Head of the Body, the Assembly” (1)
Colossians 1:18 There is much laudation of the church and its activities in Christendom, but where is heard the praise of its Head? Many voices and pens proclaim the worth and works of the churches, but where is to be discovered the Holy Spirit’s grace which glorifies Him who is the Head of the body... Read More

The Head of the Body, the Assembly” (2)
What can be more important today, for those who truly belong to the church—to the assembly which is Christ’s body, than the right understanding of their relationship to the One who is Head of that assembly? For this, the place that our Lord Jesus Christ has, as our living, exalted Head, must be know... Read More

The Highway for the Saints of God
“As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in Him” (Colossians 2:6). Prayer and the Word of God go together; we cannot dispense with either if we are to grow in the truth. As we read the Word prayerfully, the Spirit of God will unfold to us the meaning of the words, and we cann... Read More
H.J. Vine
The Holy Spirit of Promise
The work of the Holy Spirit of God finds a large place in the Epistle to the Ephesians. This might be expected where the mystery concerning Christ and the assembly is so prominent, for the Spirit’s special mission in the world during the present period is immediately connected therewith. He is desig... Read More

The Holy Spirit’s Witness and God’s Children
We have previously seen that the right to take the place of the children of God has been given to us by THE SON. To those who are born of God and have believed on His Name, He has given this right. THE HOLY SPIRIT too bears witness that this same relationship is ours. And we are invited to behold ho... Read More

The Kingdom and the Returning King
Notes of an address in Edinburgh on Daniel 7:13-14; Matthew 13:36-52; 16:28; 17:1-8 It may be well to commence with taking a wide view of the truths that belong to the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ and particularly of the kingdom as presented in Matthew’s Gospel. In this gathering there will be pre... Read More

The Liberty of Grace
“No longer I . . . but sin” (Romans 7:17-20). What a great relief it is, and what a lift it gives us when we realize that we are the subjects of the grace of God, that we are “justified freely by His grace”—saved by it—and freed consequently from the dominion of sin, for we are “not under law but un...

The Living One
Believers have come to a living Saviour! The Lord upon whom we call is a living Lord! The Head of the assembly to which we belong is a living Head! He can never die! He ever lives! The Lord Jesus Christ, though still refused by the world, is precious to God. He is the living Stone, rejected by the r... Read More

The Lord’s Coming, as it will Affect the Assembly
“For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God; and the dead in Christ s... Read More

The Lord’s Return
“Behold, He comes!” These words still await their fulfilment. When on earth, Jesus said, “I will come again!” And from heaven He has said, “Surely I come quickly!” and these are His last words to us in the inspired Book. “By the word of the Lord,” Paul said, “the Lord Himself shall descend from heav...

The Lord’s Supper
The supper of remembrance was instituted by the Lord, that His own might have a very definite way of remembering Himself together during the time of His rejection, and of announcing His death until He returns. The special instruction in regard to it, given by the Spirit to us who are called out from... Read More

H.J. Vine ( - )
H.J. Vine was involved in the early Plymouth Brethren movement. The Plymouth Brethren are a conservative, low church, nonconformist, Evangelical Christian movement whose history can be traced to Dublin, Ireland in the late 1820s, originating from Anglicanism.Among other beliefs, the group emphasizes sola scriptura, the belief that the Bible is the supreme authority for church doctrine and practice over and above "the [mere] tradition of men" (Mark 7:8). Brethren generally see themselves, not as a denomination, but as a network (or even as a collection of overlapping networks) of like-minded independent churches.
