Jesus Christ is often the ‘Jehovah’ of the Old Testament. This can be shown many ways by comparing Old Testament passages and prophecy with events and quotations in the New Testament. A detailed written study on this topic can be found here.

The most important and fundamental office that Jesus Christ holds is that of God. In John 8:58 Jesus said: “Before Abraham was, I am.” This is a proclamation that he was indeed God, for in Exodus 3:14 we read: “And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I…
In this section of our statement, we find that there may be a better way of stating our beliefs. Again we have a few discussions on the accuracy and clarity that is contained in the old statement. The main focus is that God has one purpose – to gather all things in Christ, but has two places – heaven and earth. For…
When we talk about living the life of Christ that you received at salvation, there are several verses that are key in understanding exactly how to do that.
When one reads a verse like Gal 2:20: ” I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me,” the question becomes HOW? How can you make the…

God’s Purpose is to bring all things together in Christ. The two places that He is going to do this are heaven and earth. A basic way to rightly divide the word of truth is to recognize which place is being spoken of in any particular book or verse. God’s earthly purpose was centered around the nation Israel. God’s heavenly purpose is…
Man’s righteousness is unacceptable to God. Both Jew and Gentile have been declared guilty before Him. Therefore for anyone to attain eternal life, God must give them His righteousness. Jesus Christ was the only man to live his entire life by patient continuance in well doing seeking for glory and honour and immortality of the Father. Because he did that, the Father…
