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

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.

What is atonement and why is it necessary for reconciliation with God?

Feeling sorry isn't enough to atone for sin. What is needed is a payment that only Christ can provide.

What is the role of the Holy Spirit regarding living a godly life in this world?

The purpose of God's law was not to show us how we may climb to heaven. Rather, it is the pattern that God set forth that we may know what righteousness looks like.

The 10 Commandments show us God's holy and righteous standard for our lives. To follow them is to live a godly life.

The Old Testament sacrificial system pointed forward to the time when the ultimate sacrifice would be made by Jesus Christ.

We must believe in God as He is, and not as we wish Him to be. To mold Him into our image is insulting to Him.

God is the only being who is self-sustaining. He alone eternally subsists!

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.

History shows us that sin spreads rapidly as people move away from God. Sadly, this is the case even today.

Noah's ark provides a type and a shadow for us of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Why was Noah favored in God's sight? Because God is full of kindness and compassion.

Though Adam and his progeny were cursed because of Adam's disobedience, Christ took that curse for us in His body on the tree!

Because of the Fall, mankind's knowledge of evil is more than intellectual, it is sadly experiential.

What are “theophanies”? Why does God appear in a way that people can see in the Old Testament?

What is the significance of being created by God? Since God created us, He is the titleholder of our lives.

The Lord calls all people everywhere to come to him. Won't you do so today?

After Adam sinned, work became a burden. But in the Kingdom of God, work will be a complete joy!

The Lord will someday bring about a New Heaven and a New Earth. What will it be like?

How wonderful is it that God thought of you as Christ was dying on the cross? He loves sinners so much, even those who had yet to be born.

Sin is like a huge burden on our backs. But Christ is able to remove it from us!
