As part of His grand plan, God included the angels and mankind, and set the course of human history from the creation of Adam until the end of time, an event that is prophesized in the book of Revelation. God’s plan for the angels and mankind is called God’s Divine Decree. In His omnipotence, God foresaw every event that would ever occur, including the rebellion of the angels and the fall of man. He created a perfect sinless man and provided for his every need, giving him guidance and direction so that he could live a perfect, spiritual life in harmony with the will of God. He also gave man a free will, and gave him permission to use that free will even if it meant that he would disobey God. Sure enough, man did just that, and we all know the rest of the story. There are certain things about God’s power that many people, even some believers, don’t quite understand. It begins with the misguided notion that God doesn’t have everything u...

We should never take God for granted. He alone is worthy of praise and glorification. You cannot glorify God or praise God or appreciate God or have capacity to love God apart from Bible doctrine. As we grow in the spiritual life, we have the beginning of personal love for God, we have the beginning of true humility, and we have the beginning of sharing the happiness of God. All of these blessings are the result of consistent perception, metabolization and application of the word of God. The grateful believer understands that none of this is possible without God’s blessings. He or she appreciates God and understands that only God is worthy of praise and glorification. All creatures owe their very existence to God as their Creator. He has created all things, and all things were created for His pleasure. Wise is the person who understands this and who bows in worship before God. At the end of his life Paul understood this more than anyone and he instructed his young apprentice Timothy to have the same attitude. If Timothy taught doctrine without fully...

The Age of the Jews began with the exodus of the Jewish people from Egypt under the leadership of Moses. It saw the establishment of the Jewish nation and the rise of Israel to greatness under the leadership of kings David and Solomon. Later, as the Jewish people became more prosperous and less concerned about their relationship with God, their kingdom was divided and weakened. Around 600 years before the birth of Jesus Christ, the decline of the nation resulted in mass exile, a period of time called the Babylonian captivity. Much of what happened during their captivity is recorded in the Book of Daniel. Daniel was a young Jew who had been taken to Babylon when the Jews had been conquered by the great Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar. Daniel was blessed by God with the gift of prophecy, and as a result he rose to a position of great influence in the king’s court. In Daniel 9, he wrote of a vision that foretold the future and the end of the Jewish age. His prophecy is known as the 70 weeks of Daniel, and is recorded in Dan 9:24-27....

For example, we receive the baptism of the Spirit, regeneration (this is what “born again” means), the sealing of the Spirit, and many other spiritual gifts. God will never take away these things that we received at the point of salvation. These blessings flow down to us from the grace of God, and if we believe in Him, these blessings will help us lead a life of peaceful reliance on God. Grace, which in the original Greek is called charis, is the principle behind all that God does for us. Grace is everything that God has done for us, and we have to do nothing to earn it. It is a favor that is freely given and it depends only on who and what God is. In grace, everything depends on who God is and nothing depends on us. Grace is a very important part of the plan of God. The concept of grace explains to us that God is perfect and therefore His plan for us has to be perfect. How can a perfect God design a perfect plan...
