In "Loving the Scriptures," Steve Gill explores the valuable riches of truth revealed in the Bible. This podcast explains how these truths apply to our every day lives, and will challenge, encourage, and exhort Christians to walk in accordance with the written Word.
In this episode, we talk about Jesus' exhortation in John 12 to His audience to believe in the light while they have the light. What does it mean to believe (or walk) in the light? And what are the consequences of not doing so? And how is this call connected to many of the things we see in the book of John regarding how people have or have not received Him?

In this episode we continue our discussion from John 12 regarding Jesus' own words on His intention of giving His life for the world. We also talk about how the cross has a victorious effect over the unbelieving world and Satan himself.

In the days of Jesus and for some time beyond, the Jews did not really fathom the reality that God had an equal intention of drawing Gentiles to faith just as He did to to them. Even the disciples, as we will see in this episode, didn't fully understand the eventual unity that Jesus would initiate between believing Jews and believing Gentiles through His death and resurrection. We will explore what Jesus Himself said about this during the Feast, and how this was part of the purposeful plan of God in redeeming His people.

In this episode, we talk about the triumphal entry as recorded in John 12 and the external attitude of the people who gathered around Jesus to welcome Him into Jerusalem. While there seemed to be an acknowledgement of His Messiahship and His position as king, is the praise that the people exhibited something that can be taken at face value? We will explore this question, as well as the significance of this event as it relates to the fulfillment of Scripture.

After Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead, some people who witnessed the miracle believed in Him; yet others still continued to persist in unbelief. In this episode, we talk about how this persistent rebellion and unbelief leads to a finalized plot to kill Jesus, and how it also leads to a prophecy being spoken through the mouth of Caiaphas, an unbeliever. How are we to understand that?

In this episode, we talk about the emotional display of Jesus Christ, as He is moved by the weeping and mourning of those people who were grieving Lazarus' death. What do those emotions tell us about our Savior, especially given the fact that He is going to raise Lazarus from the dead? Also, we will talk about the matter of faith in light of who Christ is and what He is about to do in this miraculous sign of raising Lazarus.

In this episode, we explore how Jesus sets the stage for one of His greatest signs: the raising of Lazarus from the dead. Why did Jesus delay for two days after He heard that Lazarus was ill?

In this episode, we talk about how Jesus, in the midst of a situation where people are seeking to kill Him, shows them how He can legitimately make claims to being God and how they have no rightful reason to want to stone Him. We also talk about the opposite reaction from people who surrounded Jesus after He escaped stoning, who believe in Him. What can account for the different responses from these two groups of people?

Can a Christian lose their salvation? While there are beliefs on both sides of the issue, John 10 makes clear that the true believer (Christ's sheep) is fully protected in the hand of God. Why can we be so confident in such security? We answer that question and address other things in this episode as we continue our study of John.

In this episode we look at the last section of John 8, where we see the unbelieving Jews ready to take stones to stone Jesus.

When Jesus said to His enemies, "You are of your father, the devil," it may sound to our ears like He is dishing out an insult. But we know better. In tihs episode, as we continue to work our way through John 8, we explore the unbelieving Jews' deluded belief of being children of Abraham and God, and how Jesus lays forth a theological truth regarding who they, as unbelievers, really belong to.

What does it mean to abide in the words of Christ? What does it mean to be set free by the truth? And how did Jesus' enemies miss the meaning of these terms so that they were still considered slaves to sin? This and much more we discuss in this episode, as we continue our examination of John 8.

In this episode, we take a break from our study of John and look at the wrath of God from our "Attributes of God" series. While God's wrath is a topic people may shy away from, what we see in this study is that when you take away the wrath of God, you no longer have the God of the Bible. Additionally, we talk about how God's holiness demands that God judge sinners, as well as how there is a link between God's wrath and our salvation. Take a listen to find out how so.

What does it mean for someone to die in their sin? And what are the consequences of dying in sin? Jesus declares to His enemies that they will die in their sins, but their belief is that they are morally better than Him. In this episode, as we continue our study of John, we talk about dying in sins (not to be confused with dying "to" sin), and what Jesus says to His enemies that demonstrate that He is higher (INFINATELY higher) than they are.

In many modern English translations of the Bible, the first eleven verses of John 8 (the account of the woman caught in the act of adultery) are said to be verses that do not appear in the earliest Greek manuscripts. So how do we explain its inclusion in later Greek manuscripts? And does this mean that this passage is not inspired? We answer these questions in this episode, while exploring some of the basics of textual criticism to help us understand things like John 8.

After telling His enemies that where He is going they cannot come, Jesus gives a call to the thirsty to come to Him and drink. What was the significance of His words given the context of being on the last day of the Feast of Booths? And how did the people in general respond to what He said?

In this episode we continue to look at Jesus' words to His enemies at the Feast of Booths in John 7, and talk about the confusion that the Jews had about Him (at no fault of Christ), as well as what Jesus has to say about excluding the kingdom from those enemies. In those words of exclusion, we may tend not to think of such words coming from Jesus, but as we will see, as a sovereign God, Jesus reserves the right to speak on this exclusion.

The crowd that Jesus fed in John 6 seemed to receive Him enthusiastically, and even showed indications that they wanted to follow Him. But as we are about to see in this and future episodes, their hearts were not really aligned to the Lord in a saving way.

This is not a verse by verse or section by section examination like we did before on this podcast (see Eps. 359, 360, & 361 for this), but it is a discussion of how Jesus engaged with this woman and how His example can be applied in evangelism today.

Because Jesus Christ is God, He deserves to be glorified, just as the Father is glorified. But Jesus' Jewish enemies were offended by His claim of being God, so they did not give Him that glory.

When a significant claim is being made, many people would want eyewitness testimony to back up that claim. When Jesus claimed to be God, one might wonder if anyone else can testify to the truth of that claim. In John 5, Jesus provides His audience wth the testimony from the Father that Jesus is the Son of God. In this episode we examine this testimony that Jesus lays out to His enemies.

If Jesus Christ is God, as He Himself claimed to be, then it should stand true that He possesses authority. How does Jesus describe that authority? That's what we explore in this episode as we continue our exploration of John 5. Here we will talk about how Jesus describes His authority in regeneration, the resurrection of the body, and the judgment He executes at the end.

In this episode, we begin to look at Jesus' discourse in John 5, on the heels of His healing of the invalid in verses 1-18. Here we unpack what Jesus says regarding His identity as God and His unity with God the Father in nature, work, and ministry. In these words, we will see why Jesus' enemies are out of place to object to His work on the Sabbath and His self-identification as God.

In this episode we explore Jesus' healing of the invalid at the Bethesda pool in John 5. This story is more than an account of a healing, but it is also a message...both of who Christ is, and of the man's need for his greater need for spiritual healing. We will talk about how this is determined from the text and how this sets the stage for Jesus' discourse in the following verses about Himself.
