Speak His Word Only

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.” Ephesians 1:3 (KJV) 1. The Structure of the Verse “Blessed be God…” – This is a doxology, a statement of praise. Paul begins his letter not with requests but with worship. The word blessed here means to speak well of or to praise . Paul magnifies God as the source of all blessings. “The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ” – Paul roots blessings in relationship. God is revealed not in abstract terms but as the Father, through whom Christ mediates all grace. “Who has blessed us…” – Notice the past tense . The blessings are already given, secured in Christ. Believers do not strive for them as future promises only, but live in the reality of what Christ has already accomplished. “With all spiritual blessings…” – This shows the richness and completeness of what is granted to the believer. Nothing is lacking. These blessings are spiritual, not...

 Genesis 7:1 And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation. Genesis 7:2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.  Genesis 7:3 Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.  Genesis 7:4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.  Genesis 7:5 And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him. Genesis 7:1–5 — God Commands Noah to Enter the Ark Why did the LORD command Noah and his household to enter the ark? What does God’s statement about Noah’s righteousness reveal about Noah’s relationship with Him? Does the text teach that Noah’s family was saved because of No...

 Introduction Genesis 5 records the family line from Adam through Seth to Noah. At first glance, the chapter may appear to be only a list of names, ages, births, and deaths. Yet it carries an important theological message. God had created humanity in His image, but sin brought death into the human experience. The repeated words “and he died” confirm that the warning given in Eden was true. Nevertheless, God’s purpose continued from one generation to another. In the middle of the genealogy, one man breaks the repeated pattern: Enoch walked with God, and God took him. His testimony demonstrates that intimate fellowship with God was still possible in a fallen world. The chapter closes with the birth of Noah, whose name became connected with the hope of comfort from the toil produced by the cursed ground. Genesis 5:1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; Genesis 5:2 Male and female created he them; and bless...

“And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Kerenhappuch.” — Job 42:14, KJV Introduction Kerenhappuch was the third daughter named in Job’s household after his season of suffering. Scripture tells us little about her individual life, but it gives two details about Job’s daughters together: they were known for their beauty, and Job gave them an inheritance among their brothers. Her story belongs within the ending of Job. God restored Job’s fortunes after profound loss, yet the closing chapter does not pretend that his earlier grief never happened. Kerenhappuch’s birth marks a new chapter in his family’s life. Historical and Biblical Background Job had lost his children during the calamities described in Job 1. After God addressed Job and his friends, the LORD restored Job’s fortunes. Job 42:13 records that he had seven sons and three daughters. Unlike the sons, the daughters are each named: Jemima, Kezia, and Kerenhappuch....

“Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah.” — Genesis 25:1, KJV Introduction Keturah enters the Genesis account near the end of Abraham’s life. Scripture names her as a wife and records the six sons she bore to Abraham. It then distinguishes between the gifts Abraham gave to the sons of his concubines and the inheritance he gave to Isaac. Keturah’s account is brief, but it helps us read Abraham’s family history carefully. Many descendants came from Abraham, while God’s specific covenant promise continued through Isaac. Historical and Biblical Background Genesis 23 records Sarah’s death, Genesis 24 tells of Isaac’s marriage to Rebekah, and Genesis 25 turns to Abraham’s later family and death. Genesis 25:1 calls Keturah Abraham’s wife . Verse 6 refers to “the sons of the concubines which Abraham had”; 1 Chronicles 1:32 specifically calls Keturah Abraham’s concubine. These passages use different descriptions of her place in Abraham’s household. They should both be acknowle...

“Salute Philologus, and Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints which are with them.” — Romans 16:15, KJV Introduction Julia appears only once in the New Testament, in Paul’s greetings at the close of his letter to the Romans. Scripture does not record her words, her occupation, or the work she performed. Yet Paul names her among believers whom the church was to greet. Her brief mention invites us to notice something easily missed in Romans 16: the early church was a community of people known by name. Julia belonged among the saints, and Paul wanted his greeting to reach her. Historical and Biblical Background Paul closes Romans with greetings to many believers in Rome. Some are described by their service or suffering. Others, including Julia, are named without further explanation. Men and women appear throughout the chapter as members of the Christian community. Romans 16:15 places Julia alongside Philologus, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas. Paul also greets ...
