The parable of the Sower. The message of the Gospel. Believe and be saved. JPT

I’ve only been shown someone’s opinion that is not founded on God’s word. 12 Those by the wayside are the ones who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.13 But the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive...

13 But the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who believe for a while and in time of temptation fall away. Luke 8:13 who believe for a while and in time of temptation fall away. If a person believes for a while, then no...

That's what Paul did. 6 Your glorying is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? 7 Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us. 8 Therefore let us keep the...

Yes sir! The promises are for believers! Not un-believers: ex-believers. JPT

16 “The law and the prophets were until John. Since that time the kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone is pressing into it. Luke 16:16 The Apostles were empowered to preach the Gospel to the lost. And when He had called His twelve disciples to Him, He gave them power over unclean...

A Christian who becomes lost is in danger of eternal death unless he repents. A Christian who becomes lost is a sinner in need of repentance: No longer justified [righteous before God] Brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back, 20 let him know that he...

What the parable reveals is: Jesus teaching His disciples Christians who go astray and become lost: The are as sinners in need of repentance of they will remain lost. This is also what the Apostle James teaches - Brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him...

Jesus is teaching about the forgiveness of sins, in the new covenant, that's the context. 21 Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?” 22 Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to...

Jesus is the Truth. His word is the Truth. Those who do not forgive will have their forgiveness of sins revoked and have to pay the penalty for their sins in hell. 32 Then his master, after he had called him, said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged...

As we grow and mature in the Lord, in which we are learning to walk according to the Spirit, rather than walking according to the flesh, we are certainly going to sin. The context of 1 John 1:9 shows us that John of course is speaking to children of God who are called to walk with the Lord, in...

Those are your words. The Lord has given us a way to have our sins forgiven, if we should sin. 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9 JPT

The is only one Gospel. The Gospel of the kingdom of God. The Gospel of God’s grace. JPT

That's exactly right. 32 Then his master, after he had called him, said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me. 33 Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?’ 34 And his master was angry, and delivered him...

Jesus teaches His disciples what it takes to restore a person who wanders away and becomes lost: Repentance. A Christian who wanders away from the truth, from the Lord, has become lost. Very simple. Is someone who is lost, facing eternal life or eternal death? There is nothing hidden...

Did Jesus say the older son was lost? The prodigal son returned to the father and was reconciled back to Him. He therefore was restored, in which he was found: alive again. JPT

The commandments are about love. Loving God and Loving people. If we steal from our brother, is that loving him or hating him? If we have other gods before the Lord, is that loving Him or hating Him? The way we love God is to obey His commandment to love our neighbor. 20 If someone...

The point that is being made by Jesus, is a person who wanders away and becomes lost, must repent, because they are now a sinner, who must repent to be saved and reconciled to God. Either they need to return to God, like the prodigal son, or be brought back to repentance by someone going after...

We are saved by grace through faith. There is a principle [law] of faith that governs how faith operates or not. The law of faith: Not the law of Moses! 27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but by the law of faith. 28 Therefore we conclude that a man is...
