Time Consciousness Bars Eternal Life

July 2, 2022May 7, 2017 by Jun P. Espina

Be enslaved, therefore, by time consciousness and consider timelessness as a prominent symbol of ignorance or academic mediocrity. Or, think about the soul as just the brain; and God, the natural product of malnutrition or sleeplessness or the analgesic of the poor.

God’s Word Proves Faith in Christ Versus Bible Ignorance

February 15, 2020April 1, 2017 by Jun P. Espina

Liberal theologians are now advancing the false teaching of believing in Christ without necessarily taking the entire Holy Scriptures as God’s Word. You may have heard someone saying “I do believe in your Christ, but I don’t believe in your Bible.” Without a shadow of a doubt, if examined through the revelations of the Scriptures, such a doctrine is misleading and distorted. God’s Word proves that real faith in Christ only happens after a hugging conviction of the Bible’s truthfulness and dependability. Wrote the apostle Paul that “faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.” (Rom. 10:17)

Flawed Belief System Before Learning Real Christianity

February 15, 2020March 28, 2017 by Jun P. Espina

Of the judgment after death (mentioned in Hebrews 9:27) versus our typical flawed belief system. The second part of Hebrews 9:27 teaches that “after this [death] comes judgment.” We find three important points from this Scripture, namely: 1) That there will be a JUDGMENT; 2) That there will be a JUDGE, and; 3) That there will be LIFE AFTER DEATH to be JUDGED. Amazing, indeed! For only four words namely, “after this comes judgment,” we discover three very satisfying truths about who we are and what will become of us. True, there is life beyond the grave awaiting divine judgment and, of course, there will be a Judge.

Grace Plus Faith in Christ Needed to Live Forever

God’s love continues to overshadow our hearts and beings even if we deliberately ignore or reject Him. Termed as God’s common grace or undeserved love and kindness that is not salvific in form, He provides rain or the sunshine to both believers and unbelievers; to the righteous as well as to the unrighteous.

Understanding Physical Death & the Life Beyond

Death is a cruel master. He has the power to kill a janitor or a senator. Understanding physical death from the teachings of Jesus Christ and the Holy Scriptures is, therefore, second to none as to its significance.

For we walk by faith, not by sight (2 Cor. 5:7), since faith in God is faith in the unseen. Paul said that we need to walk or live by faith, not by sight. This admonition tells us not just to believe, but to keep on believing in God’s Word and to make it a way of life.

Daniel walked through faith in God. He worshiped Him daily against all odds until he was “cast into the lions’ den” because of his beliefs.

Genuine faith is just like the sun that shines continually beyond the dark, moonless night in some parts of the earth.

The Apostles did not pray to revive their faith (as if it were dead!), but to increase it to maturity.

Scriptures show that Stephen’s faith in our Lord Jesus was strengthened by the rain of stones that killed him.

To walk by faith thus is to live a life based on the “conviction of things not seen” (Heb. 11:1)—and the hope of eternal life in heaven through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Faith in God is faith in the Unseen.
