Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it.

For behold, the day is coming, burning like an oven, when all the arrogant and all evildoers will be stubble. The day that is coming shall set them ablaze, says the Lord of hosts, so that it will leave them neither root nor branch.

Is it okay for believers to imitate the apostolic method of finding Jesus in the Old Testament, or should we only use those references explicitly mentioned by the New Testament authors?

See the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve him. Malachi 3:18

Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, and do not be harsh with them.

This makes Jesus the guarantor of a better covenant. The former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office, but he holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues forever.

Within the nation of disillusioned rebels there is a group of true worshipers who fear God and esteem His name.

The New Testament does not command a certain level of giving because the emphasis is now on loving willingness rather than constraint.

BIG Question: "Does the teaching on tithing in Malachi 3:9-10 apply to us today?"

If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins.

But who can endure the day of his coming, and who can stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner's fire and like fullers' soap.

The children of Israel give a defense of their behaviour saying, “God blesses the wicked and allows injustice to go unchecked. How can He expect to be revered as holy and sovereign when this is the case?”

Must all Christian marriages produce children? If so how many is enough or how many would be too few? In this age of birth control options, who makes the final decision?

What role does individual happiness play when the marriage is difficult and divorce seems like the best option for everyone involved?

Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

If you extend your soul to the hungry And satisfy the afflicted soul, Then your light shall dawn in the darkness, And your darkness shall be as the noonday. Isaiah 58:10

He is able to save to the uttermost [That is, completely; or at all times] those who draw near to God through him.

The law appoints men in their weakness as high priests, but the word of the oath, which came later than the law, appoints a Son who has been made perfect forever.

How important is holiness in the life of a believer? Do we love the world and the things of the world too much?

The man who had died came out, his hands and feet bound with linen strips, and his face wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.” - John 11:44
