How was He sinless? Jesus walked the path that God the Father laid out before Him - not the wide path but the narrowest of all. His faithfulness did not end at the cross, it continues today.

The resurrection of Christ is anticipated throughout the Old Testament in both prophecy and pattern. David declares that God would not leave His Holy One in the realm of the dead nor allow Him to see corruption (Psalm 16:10), a statement the New Testament directly applies to the Messiah’s resurrection. Isaiah likewise foretells that after the Servant suffers and dies for the sins of the people, “He shall prolong His day...

Baptism in the Bible has its roots in the Old Testament but takes on its full meaning in the New Testament.

In the Old Testament, Israel practiced many forms of ritual washing. These washings were commanded for purification from uncleanness, for priestly consecration, and for approaching God in worship. They symbolized cleansing, repentance, and readiness to stand before a holy God. By the time of Jesus, Jewish converts from the ...

The idea that everyone will be raised from the dead is rooted in several key passages of Scripture. Jesus teaches in John 5:28–29 that “all who are in the graves will hear His voice and come out,” showing that resurrection is universal, involving both those who have done good and those who have done evil. Daniel 12:2 echoes this when it says that many who sleep in the dust will awake, some to everlasting life and ...

How did we get to where we are today? The Bible warns of false teachers, false prophets, false apostles, and deceptive doctrine.

The Bible gives its clearest and most detailed rules for kings in Deuteronomy 17:14–20, a passage that lays out God’s requirements for any future king of Israel. These rules emphasize humility, obedience, and dependence on God rather than military power, political alliances, or wealth.
