The 3 Responsibilities Of Christ’s Bride

In his teaching, Paul delineated a clear link between the God-instituted union of one man and one woman (Genesis 2:24) and the relationship between Christ and His bride—the church. Whether you’re married here on Earth or not, if you’ve placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Savior, you have the amazing blessing of being known as the Lord’s bride. What an honor and joy we have knowing we are united with the God of the universe and will one day live with Him forever!

The 3 Responsibilities Of Christ’s Bride

Devotionals

Anne Graham Lotz: Bible Study — Ready to Leave

The Bible teaches that all followers of Jesus are to prepare for a “trip.” This trip not only signifies when we move to Heaven following our death, but it also takes place at the end of human history as we have known it. We are told that followers of Jesus in the last generation will not experience physical death but will be caught up in what is called the rapture—the “snatching away” to meet Jesus in the air—and be reunited with loved ones who have gone before us. It will be the trip of a lifetime—a trip that is truly out of this world. Are you ready?

Greg Laurie: Faithful To The End

Paul’s warning resonates especially powerfully today because we’re living in what I believe to be the last days. And one of the prophetic signs we sometimes forget about is that in the last days, there will be a great apostasy, meaning that people will fall away from the Lord. According to 1 Timothy 4:1, “Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons.”

Skip Heitzig: Jesus Takes The Invisible God And Makes Him Visible

Jesus takes the invisible God and makes Him visible. Jesus is “the brightness of His [God’s] glory, and the express image of His person” (Hebrews 1:3). Jesus is the exact representation of His person.

Greg Laurie: An Unforgiving Christian Is A Contradiction In Terms

An unforgiving Christian is a contradiction in terms, an oxymoron. To say that you’re a follower of Jesus Christ and yet harbor unforgiveness in your heart is simply wrong. This reality brings us to our final amazing truth in this week’s devotions: You are never more like God than when you forgive.

Ray Comfort: Saving Souls from Death

Yet every precious life saved from death is only a temporary fix. They will still die. But in the gospel, we have a different story. Jesus didn’t lower Himself from a helicopter. He lowered Himself from Heaven. He lowered Himself from God to become a lowly human being, one who walked the shores of Galilee and felt fear, pain, and hunger. And He did so not only because human lives are valuable, but because His rescue wasn’t a temporary fix. I often wonder if we’ve even realized what God has commissioned us to do by taking the gospel to rescue those who are dying.

Steve Herzig: A One Minute To Midnight Moment

The phrase one minute to midnight originated with the Doomsday Clock, a representation of how close the world is to global catastrophe as a result of our own technological and scientific advancements and geopolitical conflicts. Scripture is filled with one minute to midnight moments. For instance, King David had such a moment when he stood face to face with the mighty Goliath with only a slingshot and five smooth stones. Moses’ moment came after serving as a shepherd for 40 years and, holding his staff, telling Pharaoh “let my people go.” Daniel’s moment came when he was thrown into a pit of hungry lions. Each of them confronted and overcame danger by the grace of God.

Skip Heitzig: Jesus Christ — The Centerpiece Of Scripture From Beginning To End

The Bible has a single message: Christ. There are 66 books, each written by different authors and for different reasons. But think about it. Genesis talks about creation and the fall, and then immediately in chapter 3, we see the first prediction of the solution for the fall (see v. 15). It's the first messianic prophecy.

Will Graham: Three Christians — Clinging To The Truth, Serving Others, Or Eager For Power

My guess is that you know Christians who are an absolute blessing to be around. They carry the joy of Christ wherever they go, sacrificially serving others while spreading the hope and peace of God. Conversely, you have likely also known people who call themselves Christians but are prideful, unhappy, scheming and always desiring to be first. These types of people bring despair to the whole church.

Why Are The Dead Sea Scrolls So Important?

In 1947, a Bedouin shepherd boy and a wayward goat made an amazing discovery in a nearly inaccessible cave in Qumran, Israel, forever confirming the accuracy of the Bible. When the goat wandered into the dark cave, the shepherd boy was curious and ventured inside to explore. He threw a stone into the cave and unexpectedly heard something crack. He returned later with friends to search the cavern, which eventually resulted in the discovery of a fantastic collection of ancient biblical scrolls in clay jars.

Greg Laurie: When The Letter From God Himself Goes Unread

What if you had a handwritten note sent to you from God Himself? Would you carry it around in your pocket for a couple of weeks and open it when you got around to it? I doubt it. You probably would tear it open as you’re thinking, “Wow, God spoke to me! What does He have to say?” The Bible is a written letter from God. Many people carry it around. They have it in different colors and sizes. They have it in different translations. They even have it on their phones and devices. But they never open it. A letter from God Himself goes unread.

Skip Heitzig: When A Secret Believer Steps Forward In Courage And Faith

I want to look at somebody who you rarely, if ever, hear a sermon about: Joseph of Arimathea. He was the man who buried Jesus, but we don't even know very much about him. Joseph of Arimathea is mentioned in all four Gospels. He is described as a rich man who became “a disciple of Jesus” (Matthew 27:57), “a prominent council member” (Mark 15:43), “a good and just man” (Luke 23:50-51), and “a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of the Jews” (John 19:38).

Our Deepest Need: Three Reasons To Trust Jesus

We live backstage in our own lives. We know what lies behind the façade. We know we have strayed from God’s ways and in the process burdened ourselves with sin. We sense what Ezekiel 18:20 says explicitly: “The soul who sins shall die.” His life affirms that our lives have meaning. His death paid for our sins. And His resurrection gives certainty to the promise of eternal life. World history is littered with the dead bodies of those who claimed to answer the human dilemma. But Jesus is not like them. Of all the individuals who ever lived, He alone answers our deepest needs.

Four Encouraging Truths While Navigating The Troubled Waters Of A Fallen World

When the waters grow rougher than we imagined, these truths remain: (1) our Guide is in the same boat with us, (2) He knows everything about the way ahead, (3) He is worthy of our trust, and (4) He has already defeated these waves. Even death is now survivable because Jesus is the victor.

Loving Holiness: Understanding God’s Grace, Mercy, And Punishment

Consider the love of parents, many of whom would jump in front of a car to save their disobedient children. It helps us understand God’s selfless love. This is the Good News: For those who trust in Jesus the Messiah, the punishment for all our sin was paid for on the cross—past, present, and future (Hebrews 10:14). “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus” (Romans 8:1).

Skip Heitzig: God’s Design — Abstinence Until Marriage, Fidelity Within Marriage, Then The Enjoyment Of Marriage

Sex within the context of marriage is like drinking pure water from a clear well. But sexual sin is like drinking polluted water from a sewer. One will delight you and the other will destroy you. One is a river and the other is a swamp.

Greg Laurie: Give Only Our Best To The King Of Kings

If God is important, then why do we give Him our leftovers? God certainly doesn’t want our leftovers. He makes that quite clear in Scripture. God said to Israel, “Cursed is the cheat who promises to give a fine ram from his flock but then sacrifices a defective one to the Lord. For I am a great king . . . and my name is feared among the nations!” (Malachi 1:14).

Jack Hibbs: The Power Of Refusal

Abram’s integrity was strengthened as he chose to rely upon the “Possessor of heaven and earth” rather than men. He believed God was faithful and had no need to take what Sodom offered, not even a thread of a sandal strap!

Skip Heitzig: What Does It Truly Mean To Be ‘In Christ’?

One of Paul’s favorite descriptions of Christians and of Christianity, was that phrase, “in Him,” or “in Christ.” In Paul’s correspondence, he used that phrase eighty-seven times. It's a good way to describe our relationship with God. And it’s unique to Christianity.

Greg Laurie: What Is Heaven Like? Common Questions Answered.

Have you ever felt a longing you couldn’t quite explain? Like birds, we have a “homing instinct.” We too have a desire to go to a place we’ve never been before. Of course, that place is called Heaven. Deep inside, we all long for something more. The Bible puts it this way, “[God has] has planted eternity in the human heart” (Ecclesiastes 3:11). But what exactly is Heaven like?

Ray Comfort: How Does the Bible Define Sin?

I am sometimes criticized as a heretic for telling sinners that they must turn from their sins. Some claim this teaches works-based righteousness. Nothing could be further from the truth. I am sometimes criticized as a heretic for telling sinners that they must turn from their sins. Some claim this teaches works-based righteousness. Nothing could be further from the truth.

How The Reality Of Hell Should Impact Believers’ Lives

The Bible warns that God is so holy and just that He will not only judge those who slaughtered innocent people but also liars, thieves, blasphemers, adulterers, and fornicators. Scripture says His judgment will be so thorough that it will grind to powder. When something is ground to powder, nothing remains untouched. So how should these truths affect me as a Christian? That was the challenging question. My conclusion was simple: if I truly believe in Hell, nothing else should matter more.

Would Paul Be Welcome In Your Church?

Picture this. You are in your church’s auditorium, and the musicians have just finished playing. As they return to their seats, you flip to a fresh page in your sermon notebook and open your Bible expectantly. The pastor introduces the special guest speaker and the congregation applauds as the man walks across the platform and sets his Bible on the pulpit. He looks at the congregation, a warm smile on his face, then says, “Thank you, my friends, thank you. It’s so good to be with you. Beloved, I come to you with grace and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. Now, about your sin problem….”

Skip Heitzig: The Need To Be Set Apart In Humility In A Self-Centered Culture

The supreme example of this lowliness of mind is the Lord Jesus Christ. This is how Jesus lived, and how we ought to live. “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men”

Greg Laurie: Righteous and Perfect Justice

God reveals Himself to us in His Word. We know that God is holy because in Isaiah’s vision of Him, heavenly creatures declare, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts” (Isaiah 6:3). We know that God is righteous and just because Psalm 11:7 says, “The righteous Lord loves justice.” Holiness describes God’s character; righteousness and justice describe how He deals with humankind.

A Challenge For Today: We Must All Spread The Gospel To A Dying World

It is easy to conclude from this verse that God was moving powerfully and uniquely in the early days of the church. While that observation is accurate, it doesn’t mean He has stopped moving in equal measure today.

Why Following God’s Will Doesn’t Mean ‘Smooth Sailing’

Many Christians are tempted to believe the lie that when we’re in the will of God, everything will be smooth sailing. But often just the opposite is true. Doors slam in our faces. Obstacles appear in our paths. Storms arise that threaten to drive us off course.

Understanding The Reality Of Satan And His Strategy Against Us

I’m convinced that one reason so many Christians are living defeated lives today is because they do not believe or they do not understand the reality of Satan and His strategy for their spiritual destruction. A knowledge of the enemy is essential for spiritual victory.

In-Depth: Who Do You Say That Jesus Is?

Jesus and His disciples journeyed to Caesarea Philippi. In the preceding two years, the Nazarene Rabbi’s reputation as a truth-speaker and miracle-worker had steadily grown, as news of His exploits and teachings had swept across 1st-century Judea and Samaria. Now, withdrawn into this remote and predominantly pagan region, with shrines to the Greek god Pan immediately behind Him and the breathtaking beauty of the woods and cliffs all around Him, Jesus turned to His disciples and posed a seemingly simple, straightforward question: “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?”

Greg Laurie: The Danger Of Neglecting Prayer

The Bible says, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God” (Philippians 4:6). It doesn’t say that we should only pray about some things or the big, scary things, but about everything.

God’s Strength Made Perfect In Weakness: Understanding Paul’s Thorn In The Flesh

The thorn’s purpose was to keep Paul humble because he had personally received great revelations from Christ. Without the thorn, Paul might have become exalted or filled with pride and lauded it over others (2 Cor. 12:7).

Skip Heitzig: Our Worship Should Reinforce, Not Undermine, Biblical Truth

Worship is an intelligent and obedient response to God. You read the Scriptures, you understand, and you worship accordingly. This is why Jesus said, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength” (Mark 12:30). Worship is not a frenzy or an emotional outburst. Worship is a lucid, sober-minded response to truth.

Jack Hibbs: Through Christ, We Are Free Indeed

Jesus came with good news for those whom the world overlooks—the downcast and brokenhearted. I will never forget the day God provided the perfect analogy of this truth. I was speaking to hundreds of inmates at Ironwood Prison, and as I was preaching, sparrows flew in and out of the fences, free as can be. I told the men, “Stop and watch. These birds are not held captive by their environment, and you don’t need to be either. That is what Jesus Christ can do in your heart right here, right now. In a single moment, you can be set free from the prison that is inside of you, the captivity that landed you in this place.”
