“And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight.” —Colossians 1:20-22

In this verse, the apostle affirms the divinity of Christ as not only Savior but Creator of all thingsin heaven, on earth, visible and invisible. All things came to be “in Him,” “through Him,” and “for Him.”

In Colossians 1:14, the apostle Paul gives to us an empathetic declaration of two things: 1) the one who paid the price for our redemption, and 2) the means of this redemption—death on the cross.

In Colossians 1:9-10, Paul’s desire for the Colossae Christians is that they “might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding,” and, “increasing in the knowledge of God.”

In Colossians 1:9, the apostle begins by stating that he does not cease to pray for them. His prayer for them is that fruit would continue and that false doctrine would not be heeded but thrown aside

Paul writes the epistle to the saints in Colossae, a city in Phrygia in the Roman province of Asia, which is now a part of modern Turkey, and about a hundred miles to the east of the city of Ephesus. The church there was founded by Epaphras, a disciple of Paul.

The story of Enoch is one of the most interesting stories found in the Bible. Actually, his story should be read and understood by all believers.

 I’ve said before that as a boy, I always knew that my dad was different. I couldn’t describe then exactly how he was different; it was more of something I sensed. But all these years later, I can say with surety that the something I sensed was God setting my Dad apart—apart from other men, other preachers, even other Bible scholars.

Abraham’s journey of faith had been long, and it was filled with great victories, great revelations, and also great failures, as it is with us all.

In this story of Abraham and his petition before the Lord concerning the destruction of Sodom, we see the power of the righteous concerning their petitions before the Lord. Actually, this is a study in intercessory prayer.

March 2025

Last month, we dealt with progressive revelation as God revealed Himself to Abraham as El Shaddai, meaning “Almighty God.” This month, we want to look at the second part of Genesis 17:1, “walk before me, and be thou perfect.”

Abraham was now ninety-nine years of age, and it had been about thirteen years since the Lord had spoken to him. No doubt that during those thirteen years, he thought Ishmael was the promised seed of God as Genesis 17:18 seems to imply.

In the twelfth and fifteenth chapters of Genesis, we find what is known as the Abrahamic covenant. This covenant guaranteed the promise of the possession of land as well as the promise of a people to occupy the land, and the promise of blessing, which would be fulfilled in its truest sense in the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.
