Romans 10:5, 6

Those who claim to be faith healers and miracle workers attract many people who seek signs from God and manifestations of divine power. But true faith does not seek after signs and wonders. Biblical faith lays hold of the promises of God, rests and relies on the finished work of Jesus Christ, and responds with joyful obedience and service.

Romans 10:3

Jesus Christ was God in human flesh- the physical manifestation of God's perfect character and righteousness. The Old Testament told all about him and pointed to him as Israel's Messiah. Yet the Apostle John wrote, "He came unto his own and his own received him not." Why did the religious leaders and people of Israel reject Jesus and the righteousness of God that comes through faith?

Romans 10:2, 3

We sometimes say you can't compare apples and oranges. But this is what many people do when they talk about the righteousness of God. They believe it is merely an exalted, perfected form of human righteousness. But God's righteousness is of a completely different category altogether. How does the Bible differentiate human and divine righteousness? Find out from Dr. Barnhouse on Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible.

Romans 10:1, 2

What is your heart's desire? You might hear many different answers to this question such as a loving marriage, a happy family life, a larger home, or a big promotion or raise. But the Apostle Paul was so filled with the love of God that his heart's desire was for the people of Israel to turn to their Messiah and be saved. Does your heart long for the salvation of those that do not know Jesus Christ? Listen as Dr. Bar...

Romans 9:25-29

The Apostle Paul reminded the Ephesians that at one time they were aliens from the Commonwealth of Israel, strangers to the covenants of promise, without Christ, and without hope in the world. This was the sad state of Gentile peoples before Jesus came. But now, Gentile believers, just like 1st century Ephesians, have been brought near to God by the blood of Jesus Christ. Has God performed His work of salvation in yo...

Romans 9:22-24

When tragedy strikes, many people lash out at God, accusing Him of cruelty and injustice. They cry out and say, "What did I do to deserve this?" We forget that we deserve nothing but judgment and condemnation, and yet God has dealt with us according to His love and grace, culminating with the atoning death of Jesus Christ on our behalf.

Romans 9:21

There are many people who are swing voters. They cannot decide whom to vote for and sometimes remain undecided right up to election day. Many evangelists portray unbelievers as spiritual swing voters. God has cast his ballot to save them, Satan has cast his ballot for their eternal condemnation and they must break the tie. But is this accurate? Listen to Dr. Barnhouse to find out what the Bible teaches about election on...

Romans 9:19-24

When the president brings a judicial nominee before Congress, they scrutinize the nominee's character and record and discuss his qualifications to serve as a federal judge or a Supreme Court justice. But God's suitability as a judge of the universe is not open for discussion. He alone is infinitely holy and wise and is able to execute perfect righteous judgment. Have you been acquitted for all your sin and guilt by t...

Romans 9:17, 18

When Moses delivered his people from bondage, Pharoah's stubborn resistance against God led to the destruction of the Egyptian army in the waters of the Red Sea. The Bible declares that Pharoah hardened his heart against the Lord, but the Bible also declares that God hardened Pharoah's heart. Christians are often confused by this seeming contradiction.

Romans 9:16

A man makes many decisions every day, but when he is dead, he cannot simply choose to become alive again. Many Christians assume that every person has the natural moral ability to exercise his or her free will unto salvation. But the Bible declares that every person is born spiritually dead in trespasses and sins and must be born again by the sovereign grace of God.

Romans 9:14

If ten guilty men are sentenced to prison and the Governor pardons one of them, he is not acting unjustly towards the others. The nine receive exactly what they deserve for their crimes, while the one who was set free receives undeserved mercy. Many people argue that the doctrines of election and predestination make God seem to be unjust, unfair, and unrighteous. How does Scripture answer this charge against the Lord? F...

In the early centuries of Church history as well as in our day, many cults and false teachings have denied either the full deity or the full humanity of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Jesus rebuked the Pharisees and Jewish religious leaders for pursuing the power and influence and seeking the accolades of men.

The Apostle Paul was moved with such compassion for his unbelieving countrymen that he was willing to be accursed of God for the sake of their salvation.
