Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 07016 Glorification is the final act of God’s saving work. It is the moment when everything that salvation promised is fully and finally delivered, when the believer receives a resurrection body, is freed at last from the presence and possibility of sin, and is completely conformed to the image of Jesus Christ. It is…
Reading Time: 6 minutesQuestion 12046 Christian Nationalism has become one of the most discussed and divisive terms in contemporary Christianity, particularly in the United States but increasingly in broader Western discourse. Some advocates present it as the faithful application of biblical principles to national life, while critics warn that it dangerously merges the gospel with political power. Before…
Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 12050 Climate change has become one of the most contentious issues of our time, generating passionate responses across the political spectrum. Christians find themselves caught between competing claims, uncertain how to think biblically about environmental concerns. What framework does Scripture provide for navigating this complex topic?

Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 8045 The capacity of Satan and his agents to perform supernatural signs is something Scripture addresses plainly, though not always in terms that modern readers find comfortable.

Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 8026 Paul’s question in 1 Corinthians 6:3 stops readers short: “Do you not know that we are to judge angels?” It is tucked into an argument about Christians resolving disputes in secular courts rather than within the church, but its implication reaches far beyond that immediate context. It is one of those verses that…
Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 8017 Revelation 9:11 introduces a figure who stands in sharp contrast to the named holy angels of Scripture: the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in both Hebrew and Greek means one thing — Destroyer.

Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 8018 Revelation 9:14-15 describes four angels bound at the great river Euphrates, held at the ready for a moment so precisely appointed that Scripture describes it in terms of a specific hour, day, month, and year.

Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 8019 Among the most striking descriptions in all of prophetic Scripture are the living creatures of Ezekiel’s inaugural vision and John’s throne-room vision in Revelation 4.

Reading Time: 4 minutesQuestion 04057 The resurrection of the dead is at the heart of Christian hope, and it is easy to speak of it in terms of God’s power without attending to the specific way the New Testament describes how that power operates.
