September 23, 2022January 22, 2013 by Jun P. Espina

The preacher’s lecture that God’s love “is unaffected by man’s behavior” leads to the Hyper-Calvinists’ controversial doctrine on God’s Sovereignty and Irresistible Grace.

Jesus Christ: Who is He?

Who is Jesus Christ and why is He either worshiped or hated? Well, no single person on earth is truly qualified to answer this question. As conceived by Mary, He was without a human father. The Holy Bible is our primary source of information about Christ. Micah 5:2 (NASB) says, “But as for you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, Too little to be among the clans of Judah, From you One will go forth for Me to be ruler in Israel. His goings forth are from long ago, From the days of eternity.” Jesus existed before Mary gave birth to Him!

Saved Eternally and Assuredly from God’s Wrath

November 8, 2022December 5, 2012 by Jun P. Espina

God said that we are old outwardly only, or that outwardly we are wasting away, getting older, weaker. Inwardly, however, we are renewed day by day. Wrote the Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 4:16: “Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day.” We are saved eternally because of our faith in Jesus Christ, God the Son. It is our Christian hope that is pointed out daily in our walk with God through the inner witness of Christ’s Spirit inside of us. Saved eternally, also known as the eternal security of believers, is a Bible teaching that is sown in our hearts since God “also sealed us and gave us the Spirit in our hearts as a pledge” or guarantee that we are His (saved from sin and the wrath of God!) forever.

God’s Fellowship With Humanity is High in His agenda

March 22, 2020December 2, 2012 by Jun P. Espina

God’s fellowship with man is one compelling truth. Every passing moment God is interested in our closeness to Him. Intimacy absorbs Him as He called Adam to fellowship with Him even during Adam’s first ever disobedience. “Where are you?,” (Gen. 3:9) was God’s language of concern when Adam and Eve rebelled against Him. “We will come to him and make Our abode with him,” was Christ’s teaching on God’s designed union with humankind. (John 14:23b) It is God’s blueprint for the loving Creator-man relationship: making our body God Spirit’s temple. (cf. I Cor. 6:19) Wrote the apostle Paul: “Christ liveth in me.” God’s fellowship with humanity starts here in this life.

The Devil’s Tranquilizing Man’s Pierced Conscience

The devil’s tranquilizing man’s guilt is just a necessary part of Satan’s primary agenda to deceive us all. Taught our Lord Jesus Christ that heaven declares adultery even on a minor lustful look. Observed Matthew 5:27-28: “But I say to you, that everyone who looks on a woman to lust for her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.” The devil disagrees. “It is just a ‘venial sin,’” was his usual soothing pill.

Death Penalty is Anti-God?

March 15, 2020November 24, 2012 by Jun P. Espina

Death penalty is one issue that has severely divided the brilliant opinions of our day. The moralists and self-righteous ones, including the so-called religious and intellectuals, have joined forces in ringing so loudly the bell of protest that the unlearned and poor-minded become easy captives of their eloquence. “End to the death penalty,” they cried vehemently, “for humanitarian reasons; for we are pro-life!” What a slogan is it? Indeed, the deaf in spirit will want to hear it. A loud and clear sympathy for life, “anti-death penalty” is a cause worthy of everyone’s support!
