The Son of Man came to seek and save that which was lost. It is Jesus' favorite title of Himself. I chosen this title because Jesus loved this title of Himself. We ought to never forget that Jesus is fully God and fully man: two natures in One Person. He is the God-man, the Incarnate Second Person of the Trinity. May we mediate on His life, death, burial, resurrection and ascension that we may be conformed to the image of the divine Son of Man! This blog web site will be a Christian defense of the Reformed doctrines of the Incarnate Son of Man. May all glory be to His name!

Hearken to the Narrow Gate


You must enter the narrow gate:  “Strive to enter through the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able” (Luke 13:24 NASB). Those that cannot enter the narrow gate were not drawn by the Father.  Those who are drawn by the Father enter the narrow gate.  It is essential:  “Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it” (Matthew 7:14 NASB).  Once you are through the narrow gate, it is an indication of being saved.  If God grants you to truly come to Him, you will never truly be forsaken (see Hebrews 13:5) nor will He cast you out.  Once a person is in Christ “there is…no condemnation.”  (Romans 8:1 NASB).  To one person the gospel of Christ is the fragrance of death, and to another person the gospel of Christ is the aroma of life (see 2 Corinthians 2:14-16 NASB).  Believe the eternal Son of God:  “…but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name” (John 20:31 NASB).  God’s people who believe, who have received Him, become the children of God (John 1:12).  Moses asked, as do I, “…Who is on the LORD's side?...”  (Exodus 32:26 KJV).
