romans-6:23

Romans 1:4 (1 Corinthians 15:1,12-22,45; 2 Corinthians 5:14-18). "Declared to be the Son of God with power by the resurrection from the dead." The word 'declared' or 'designated' there is the verb horizo, i.e., "horizoned the Son by resurrection". In resurrection Christ is declared or made the horiz... Read More

"...the gospel which I preach..." (Gal. 2:2). "Now I made known unto you, brethren, the gospel which I preached unto you..." (1 Cor. 15:1). "For I make known to you, brethren, as touching the gospel which was preached by me, that it is not after man" (Galatians 1:11). "The gospel which I preach". "T... Read More

"But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end eternal life.

We are considering the greatness and glory of the Lord Jesus Christ as represented in the ark of the covenant, and we now leave the wilderness and come to the crossing of the Jordan. Thus we have open before us the Book of Joshua, especially the first three chapters. Here we are in that great forwar... Read More

For, indeed, this is the key of the m... Read More

We now proceed to consider the nature of the corporate life of the Church, and we want to note first of all one or two quite elementary facts which, nevertheless, always carry a freshness of meaning to those who are spiritually alive to the Lord, and the first simple truth is this, that the term, th...

"Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and spake forth unto them, saying... This is that which hath been spoken through the prophet Joel, And it shall be in the last days, saith God, I will pour forth of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, an...
