The gospel to everyone who believes is that by nature, we are all sinners under God’s judgment. Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. Jesus is real man and fully God, the only one able to deliver us. Redemption has been accomplished by Him and He saves, giving and applying His righteousness & life to the redeemed.

Jesus is the gospel to us - He Himself is the good news. He is made unto us righteousness and sanctification- believe on Him for salvation!

There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God. - 1 Samuel 2:2

I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.

And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.

For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.

Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God?

Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.

He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.

Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:

But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

- Isaiah 40:27-31

He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.

Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.

Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.

Proverbs 9:7-11

09/03/2026

The Triune God is Creator of the universe, and He has made everything to revolve around Jesus Christ as Colossians 1 teaches.

Everything coheres and is united in Jesus Christ. In Him we have our identity and purpose. Because Christ is the foundation of life, the perspective of our education has significance. While learning and pursuing truth, humbly submit to God’s revelation first. Understand & believe the central importance of Christ and His kingdom!

My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.

Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things.

Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long.

For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off.

Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way.

- Proverbs 23:15-19

Is there no escape from God’s righteous wrath on us because of our sin? The good news of the gospel is that God Himself has provided the way of salvation and life.

Do not underestimate the requirements of God’s justice, which must be satisfied. No human attempts even to keep His law are sufficient. The law only shows us the curse of sin and the penalty of death. The way of salvation is the end of the law, Jesus Christ. Embrace Christ and the righteousness which is by faith in Him!

Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. - 1 Timothy 4:15

08/30/2026

For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.

The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.

But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.

- Psalm 5:4-7
