During my time at College in my pursuit of a Bachelors of Science in Religion and a Minor in Biblical Studies a question popped up from time to time, especially in Theology class. Will people who predate the Law given to Moses be redeemed and found in Heaven? The answer is found in Romans 5:13….

MEDITATIONS 11: EPHESIANS 5:1-20
“Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.” (Eph 5:1-2) NIV STUDY BIBLE (RED LETTER EDITOIN), (EPH 5:1-2) Follow God’s example, how the world would be different if we…
MEDITATIONS 10: THE LAW & GOSPEL
Blog about the Law & Gospel: What is the Law & what is the Gospel? How are believers affected by both? What does the Law and the Gospel mean to the unbeliever? Does the relationship between Law and Gospel change once a person becomes a believer? When reading through Galatians and Ephesians the concept of…

Chap 4: I find this chapter extremely difficult to parse down into a few paragraphs. A whole academic paper could be written about this chapter. Paul’s letters were directed at subjects brought to him by the civilizations he addressed. There is a small jump of subjects starting in Chapter 4, but the law is still…
MEDITATIONS 3: GALATIANS 3
Chap 3: Reading through Chapter 3 the reader finds Paul expands on the idea of Law vs. Faith. The most important part of Chapter 3 is verses 16 – 18, with strong emphasis on 18, “For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on the promise, but God in His…
MEDITATIONS 2: GALATIONS 2
Chap 2: Once again Paul opens up defending his authority and the truth of the Gospel. He brought the Gospel before the Saints seeking their approval of what he was teaching the Gentiles. Again, there seems to be an on going attack against the Gospel where other believers push those who believe the theology of…
