This blog web site is for the in-depth, sound and basic exegetical study of the Bible in Reformed apologetics; that is, I shall expound upon the inerrant and infallible Word of God, the Holy Scriptures. There shall be biblical studies in world religions and non-Christian cults. I also quote and research reformed writers and I am happy to study from them. May the Lord bless everyone who reads this blog with spiritual riches in Christ which is His imputed merit by faith alone.
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!

The Gospel of the Life and Death of Christ Alone
We live in a society that is materialistic. We live in a society that is prone to false religion and also atheism. We live in a society that is naturalistic and evolutionary. We live in a godless society that only breeds the wrath of God upon us, because of wrong behavior that violates the moral law of God. There is a way escape and it is through our Lord and King Jesus Christ. He is the key and answer to all of life's troubles and circumstances; He is the key and answer to our sin problem; He is the key and answer to living right before God. We so desperately need Him in all affairs of our life. He is the key to spiritual redemption, because He saves the many. God the Son through His Spirit from God the Father's will gives His gift of His life and death alone to all the ones with the changed heart by His Spirit and His Word, because of His predestination of us as individuals to Himself. There is nothing that can take us out of His Almighty hand (John 10). No one can snatch us out of His hand. We are His people. We follow where He leads us though it may be a difficult road ahead. We follow where He takes us because He is perfection itself. We fall at times but its through His life and death alone that we stand forgiven. Once someone repents of their sins, it cannot be undone in anyway by anyone. Our Lord is a caring, merciful, kind and compassionate Lord that loves us to the end. He cares for us so, and He is concerned about our daily walk with Him. We all have fallen into sin but no man-made grace can help us, but we need the all-powerful grace of Christ to conquer sin. Out of life we see the most precious life of Christ shine like ten thousand suns, but out of the death of Christ we see a love that will never die. Out of the burial of Christ we see sin buried in His tomb in the depths of the sea, but by His resurrection we see our glorious justification unto life eternal. Yea, the riches and glory of the Lord; how unsearchable is His awesome righteousness! There is no counterfeit Christian who has and embraces the IMPUTED righteousness of Christ. Yes, they may fall into deep sin and seriously rebel against Christ, but His precious righteousness alone is our full and free and total acceptance before God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen and amen.
