La palabra “ira” en la carta a los Romanos
En mi último artículo, hablé sobre el hecho de que la palabra “salvación” en Romanos no significa salvación del infierno, sino salvación de las consecuencias negativas de nuestros pecados aquí y ahora. Una situación similar se produce con la palabra “ira” y en este artículo, me gustaría examinarla. A menudo, al oír la expresión “la […]
Christians Denying the Lord (Mark 14:27-31)
By Ken Yates One of the many strange things we hear Christians say is that a true Christian will never deny the Lord. Of course, when this is said the hearer almost always thinks of Peter. Peter clearly denied the Lord three times. What about him? The answer that is often given is that Peter […]

Faith That Moves Mountains (Mark 11:20-26)
Kenneth W. Yates EDITOR I. INTRODUCTION In Mark 11:23 Jesus makes an astounding promise to His disciples: “For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will […]
El Fruto del Espíritu No Es Sobre Ti
No nos hagamos vanagloriosos, irritándonos unos a otros, envidiándonos unos a otros. (Gálatas 5:26). A menudo nuestras propias tradiciones y cultura nos ciegan. En mi opinión esto sucede cuando hablamos del fruto del Espíritu. La mayoría de nosotros hemos memorizado el fruto del Espíritu (Gálatas 5:22-23) en algún momento pasado e incluso lo cantamos de […]

In this blog, I would like to look at the word “wrath.” A similar situation exists with this word. Often, […]

Es la recompensa que se dará en el Tribunal de Cristo cuando el Señor recompensará a los creyentes fieles por su obediencia. Me he preguntado frecuentemente qué significado tendrá esta recompensa particular […]
