The Covenant of Grace in the Old Testament – Martyn Lloyd-Jones [Part 1]

This sermon by MLJ clarifies that the Bible is unified by its covenants. Furthermore, the most important covenant is the covenant of grace which was hinted at in Genesis 3:15. It is established fully via the duration of the Bible, in the various other covenants. If you have been under the impression that there are two peoples of God; or that the Old and New Testaments reveal differing ways of salvation…; then this sermon will show you the errors of such thinking that abounds in our society because of the man-made doctrines of dispensationalism.

Why Was Jesus Baptized?: Things Unseen with Sinclair B. Ferguson

This post contains a 6-minute video by Pastor Sinclair Ferguson, one episode of his podcast, Things Unseen. His 5 episodes of last week were about various aspects of baptism. He was focusing on the deeper meaning of baptism which did not get into the common areas of dispute among believers. He said something in this video that I had not heard in the 20 years I’ve been a Christian, as he explained how it is that Jesus’ baptism is a picture of the gospel. In the process, he explained what the reformers meant when they called believers to ‘improve’ their baptism.

What is the purpose of the Mosaic Law? – Got Questions Ministries

Subjects such as this may seem a real bore to some Christians, but they provide fundamental understanding that can enable one to escape the clutches of many unbiblical teachers in our day. I am thinking chiefly of dispensationalism, which is unbiblical and based on the ideas of men.  But there are more blatant forms of false teachings out there floating around in the contemporary church. Many are written on in this blog: the prosperity gospel; the mystical gospel; the gospels that have been adapted to CRT and LGBTQ.  Other man-made gospels include the JW’s and the LDS versions…. If you read the Bible, then it will be made clear to you how these and other false systems err. Don’t be a victim of false Christian teaching; know what God says on the matter via His word.

Philippians 3:9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own… Albert Barnes’ Commentary

This post uses the commentary of Albert Barnes to consider Philippians 3:9 “and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith.” This topic is foundational to the Christian life, Romans and Galatians are about it. From my own struggles, and writing about the false teachings that pervade the 21st century church, I am certain that most Christians do not understand this doctrine sufficiently well, such that they are certainly relying only on the imputed righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation. If you cannot say with certainty that you do, then take a few moments and get some helpful insight.
