By: Gary L. Hutchens The apostle Paul wrote, “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” (Eph. 2:8-9). We cannot save ourselves. It is totally, and only, by God’s grace that we can be saved. But, does God expect any response on our part to His offer to save us by His grace, and does our response have anything to do with our salvation?
By: Gary L. Hutchens God is good! One day, I received an email that included the statement, “God is good, all of the time.” That statement was more significant in that the email gave a report of a family member of the sender who had been diagnosed with cancer. The truth is, God is good all of the time! Even when things seem to be going badly for us, God is still good. Even when we pray to God for deliverance from a difficult situation, and His answer is “No” or “Wait awhile,” God is still good.
By: Gary L. Hutchens Numerous volumes have been written, countless sermons and Bible classes have been taught, and conversational references are continually made in reference to The Grace Of God. But what do we mean when we speak of God’s grace?
By: Gary L. Hutchens There may be no more important Bible topic than that of God’s grace. These days a great deal of emphasis is being given to teaching on the grace of God. Unfortunately, most of the emphasis seems to be very narrowly focused. As a result, much of what is being taught on the subject is short-sighted, some of it is outright wrong!
By: Gary L. Hutchens “And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment,” (Heb. 9:27). This succinct verse of scripture states two realities. First, unless the Lord comes again first, everyone is going to die a physical death. Second, and far more consequential, after death everyone will stand before our Lord in judgment. Death is certain, and the day of judgment is already appointed by God (Acts 17:30-31).
