Unlocking the Bible: Today's Key on Oneplace.com

We cannot separate Christ's Lordship from His salvation of us. It is a fundamental misunderstanding of the gospel to think that you can receive what Jesus offers and at the same time resist what He commands.

In Adam, we all die. But if we are joined to Christ by faith, we shall be made alive!

The multiple theophanies that occurred in the Old Testament were pointing forward to a time when the Lord himself would come in human flesh.

God took the initiative in sending Christ to be born of the virgin Mary. He did not wait for a Deliverer to arise from us, He came to us in the person of Jesus.

Being faithful to God does not necessarily mean that we must sacrifice success in this world.

As Christians, we are in the world, but our citizenship is in Heaven. What does it mean to be a part of two kingdoms?

In the Bible, there are many examples of bad shepherds of God's People. But Jesus is the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for the sheep.

If God moves you to do something for Him, you can know that He will be with you in it!

The prophet Ezekiel was a man who had many hopes and dreams just like us. But his dreams were shattered. Where do we turn when that happens to us?

Jesus suffered, and he is called a “man of sorrows.” What a comfort it is to know that the Lord himself understands what it means to feel sadness and pain, and that He is with us in our sorrow.

Your difficulties break your heart, and they cause you to cry out to God. It is good to know that the tears of God's people are precious to Him.

The Book of Lamentations is a book of sorrow. Thank God that the Bible speaks to us in our pain.

When Nicodemus came to Jesus, Jesus told him that he needed to be born again. What does that mean?

After King David sinned, he asked God to create in him a “clean heart.” This should be our prayer as well.

There are many attributes of God which are revealed to us in the Bible. The Bible says “God is love” but it does not say “God is anger.” Anger does not come naturally to Him. It must be provoked.

Elijah's prayer brought the fire of God onto the sacrifice and not on the people. This points to the cross where God's judgment was poured out on Jesus, who became the ultimate sacrifice for us.

The claim of the Bible is that God's Word is true. We can stand on that claim because Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

The kingdom of Heaven will not be like the earthly tabernacle where the presence of God came and went; instead it will be a place where God and men are together forever.

In the Old Testament, the tabernacle, and then later the temple, was where God met with men. But now, that “meeting place” is a Person—the Lord Jesus Christ.

The stones that built the temple in Jerusalem point to believers who are called “living stones.” And God is building His people up for an eternal inheritance.

How we respond when someone calls us out for our sin reveals whether or not our heart is in the right place with God.

In former times, God spoke in a variety of ways and through many different means, but once Jesus came, God spoke to us through His Son. And Jesus has given us everything we need.

The authors of Scripture did not make things up as they went. Rather, they were “carried along by the Spirit” to write the Bible. That fact differentiates the Scriptures from every other book.

The world tells us to find our self-esteem, but as Christians, we find our worth in Christ and what He has done. We can lift our heads with Christ-esteem!

Kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall, but God's kingdom and God's throne shall stand forever!

Sometimes men think they are going to do something great for God, but God has other plans. When that happens, what is your attitude? If it is bad, were you doing it for God or for yourself?

In the Bible we see that human kings fail all the time. But Jesus is a king you can put your trust in because He always rules with truth, righteousness, and grace.

God desires leaders to be men of character who put Him first in their lives.

God Himself is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, but His people desired another king. The result was not pleasing to God and it was disastrous for Israel.

The judges of Israel delivered the people time and again from wicked foreign rulers. But Christ is a better deliverer because He saves us from sin and the evil one.

Idolatry is powerfully attractive, but at the same time it is deeply offensive to God. How should we treat the idols of our hearts?

During the time of the judges in Israel, the people had lost the knowledge of God and His wondrous works. But thankfully, that knowledge would eventually be restored.

The Gospel is free, but there is a cost to follow Jesus. We are called to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Him.

It's easy for us to think that our comfort is the thing that matters most. But God has not called us to a life of convenience; Christ died for us that we should no longer live for ourselves, but go out and do His will.

God calls His people to be brave and to trust Him. When we don't, the result is never good.

One of the greatest problems plaguing mankind is the guilt of our sin. But in Christ, our guilt is removed and our souls are cleansed.

On the Day of Atonement, the “scapegoat” carried the sins of the people on itself. Christ was a scapegoat for us as well.

If you find yourself in a court of law, you'll need an attorney to speak on your behalf. In the Old Testament, the priests represented the people. But if you come to Jesus in faith, He is your High Priest and He intercedes for you.

The sacrifices of the Old Testament were types and shadows of a much greater sacrifice which was to come. The sacrifice of Christ Himself.

Through faith, we enjoy the credit of Christ's righteousness to our account. That is the basis of our standing before God.

The account of Noah in the Bible teaches us to be ready. Christ will return someday. Will you be ready when He does?

The devil uses many traps to ensnare people, but one of his greatest traps is the temptation to distrust and disbelieve God's Word.

We are both created by God and sustained by God. This truth both humbles and dignifies us.

Abraham and the patriarchs in the Bible were saved in the same way that we are, by faith in the Lord Jesus. Abraham believed God, and it was counted as righteousness.
