An Inverview with Justin Alfred

On Wednesday, we delivered an exciting announcement, introducing our newest blog contributor, Justin Alfred. We thought it would be a great idea for you to get more acquainted with Justin, so we spent a moment with him and asked about his background, his studies, and his passions for Jesus, the Bible, and biblical languages.

Let Us Adore Him Who Is Able

Now to him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you without blemish before the presence of his glory with rejoicing, to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and for ever. Amen. (Jude […]

God's Word on God's Word – Part 5

We find the Bible assuming itself to be the Word of God in the special terms that it uses to describe itself. In this blog series’ fifth installment, we consider a few more of these terms: “Moses and the Prophets”, “The Oracles of God”, and “’Covenant’ (Testament).”

Jesus "Gave Himself For…"

We have a God who gives, and He gives the greatest gift of all—namely, Himself.

There are seven places in the New Testament where the words “Gave Himself for,” are distinctly associated with Christ’s substitutionary work. In each case the Greek preposition, “Huper,” translated “for,” occurs. “Huper” means to act on behalf of another,as […]

Jesus, the Wisdom of God

“Everyone who hears these words of mine…”

In the Book of Proverbs, wisdom is often personified as a woman who stands alongside the Lord (Proverbs 1:20-33). She claims that those who heed her call will live in safety (Prov 1:33). Centuries Later, Jesus echoed these same words, taking them straight from wisdom and putting […]

FAQ: The Believer's Relationship to the Mosaic Covenant

At the Blue Letter Bible, we consistently receive questions on tithing, on which, if any, of the often “strange” Levitical laws (e.g., Do not weave two kinds of fabric together) apply to the believer today, on when to celebrate Old Testament feast days, et cetera. These are all questions borne out of an inadequate […]

God's Word on God's Word – part 3

5.The Book (Scripture) Of Truth

In Daniel, we find the written Word […]

The Past and Present Walk of the One Who Now Believes in Christ

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” (2 Corinthians 5:17)

Paul tells the Corinthian church that every Christian is made anew—a “new creation”. The old is gone and the new is come. What is this old nature that […]
