Christ’s Promised Eternal Life Versus Salvation by Works

Jun P. Espina June 1, 2017February 13, 2020

Eternal security is one teaching our Lord affirms firmly in His Word. Teach it, and you will produce real born-again Christians. In John 6:37 Jesus made this truth so clear that “the one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out.” And in John 10:28 He said, “and I give eternal life to them, and they shall never perish; and no one shall snatch them out of My hand. ” Once saved, always saved! But Christ's promised eternal life won't fit into the framework of man-made Theology that was conceived and intended to glorifying man and giving him...

Spiritual Stability of Those Applying Christ’s Word

Jun P. Espina May 31, 2017February 11, 2020

What is spiritual stability? This query seems unimportant or irrelevant for the unsaved floods of people. They don’t have time for the God of the Bible—not until hunger, disease, or the mystery of death breaks through their lives! Their obsession with the cares of this life deceives them to love themselves more than God.

Heavenly Residents Because of Christ

Jun P. Espina May 26, 2017February 14, 2020

One good news we love to listen again and again is that we will be heavenly residents assuredly in the hereafter because of Jesus Christ. Paul, the Apostle, wrote about it: "For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ." (Phil 3:20) It does not matter if one had been living the life of a thief or a murderer for a long time before one followed our Lord. It does matter if one is a stick-in-the-mud sinner because all human beings in heaven since time began were true blue sinners...

Christian Holy Week Observance Examined Biblically

Jun P. Espina April 14, 2017February 14, 2020

One significant question is that if we are real born-again Christians, do we need to celebrate or observe the Holy Week? In just a mouse click away, we could google dozens of the list of religious holidays (or holydays?) The Jewish religion, Islam, Catholicism, Seventh Day Adventism, among other religious groups observe "holidays requiring absence from work beyond existing Statutory Holidays." What is the meaning of the Christian Holy Week observance among the Catholics and other Christians denominations?

Promised Immortality to Christ’s Truly Regenerated Followers

Jun P. Espina March 27, 2017February 15, 2020

Promised immortality to Christ's truly regenerated followers. 1000 years life on earth is a pale comparison with the Christian promised immortality .... A brief life that is devotedly faithful to Jesus Christ as Lord and personal Savior is better off than a hundred years of a Christless existence. Leonardo da Vinci once said that "a life well-spent is a long life." This thought, profound as it may appear, is still inadequate if used to describe the Christian hope of eternal life in heaven with God. Set side by side with the promised immortality through faith in Christ, a thousand years...

broken spirit leads to god contrite heart

Broken Spirit Leads to God and Faith in Jesus Christ

Jun P. Espina March 17, 2017February 15, 2020

We are closer to God only when we seem broken inwardly --- in the spirit. It is the meaning of Psalm 51:17: "The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; A broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise." Hence, trials are necessary for a balanced life! They are God's will for us to believe and humble ourselves before Him. They are divine mechanisms to remind us of our dust origin. God is near to those experiencing a broken spirit and having a contrite or repentant heart.
