john-13:1

The prayer now before us really forms the closing part of the salutation and benediction of verses 4 and 5 of Revelation 1, in which "grace and peace" are sought from the triune God in His distinct persons: (1) "from him which is, and which was, and which is to come," that is, from Jehovah as the se...

PROFITING FROM THE WORD 10. THE SCRIPTURES AND LOVE In earlier chapters we have sought to point out some of the ways by which we may ascertain whether or not our reading and searching of the Scriptures are really being blessed to our souls. Many are deceived on this matter, mistaking an eagerness to... Read More

STUDIES ON SAVING FAITH Part III COMING TO CHRIST By way of introduction let us bring before the readers the following Scriptures. (1) "Ye will not come to me, that ye might have life" John 5:40.

The Antichrist CONCLUSION In bringing to a close this book on the Antichrist, we are conscious that "there remaineth yet very much land to be possessed" (John 13:1).

THE ATTRIBUTES OF GOD 15. THE LOVE OF GOD There are three things told us in Scripture concerning the nature of God. First, "God is spirit" (John 4:24).

It is one of the excellencies of the Creator which distinguishes Him from all His creatures. God is perpetually the same: subject to no change in His being, attributes, or deter... Read More

The Redeemer’s Return THE BENEFICIARIES OF THE REDEEMER’S RETURN OR THE SCOPE OF THE RAPTURE Chapter 7 "The coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints." 1 Thess. 3:13 We Come now to a phase of our subject which has given rise to much controversy.

When the Psalmist gave utterance to these words, his spirit was dejected and his heart was heavy within him. In the checkered career of David there was not a little which was calculated to sadden and depress: the cruel persecutions of Saul, who hunted him as a partridge upon the mountains, the treac...

Why Four Gospels? 4. THE GOSPEL OF JOHN As we turn to the fourth Gospel we come to entirely different ground from that which we have traversed in the other three. True, the period of time which is covered by it, is the same as in the others; true, that some of the incidents that have already been lo... Read More
