Salvation is a pure gift. I would like to quote Barclay in one of His statements, "Grace is a gift." Why? When we study the concept of gift in the theme of salvation, the apostle Paul understood it as a favor (Eph 2:8). The greek word Xaris (charis) some text translated it as a "charity" has many emphases. However, when we talk about salvation in its theological aspect we could never find a single verse that would support salvation as a reward. The bible is clear that we are saved by grace (chariti) through faith. I would like also to give emphasis that the term charis should be understood in the light of its context. Yes, not all charis should be translated as grace. But all of them are related to gifts. If you want more insights about gift and grace, feel free to read it further here.

A man and woman have been living together for several years as husband and wife, raising children, but without following the church’s protocols for marriage. Given that they understand and are committed to each other, would this be considered adultery? How does God view this type of relationship? Additionally, why do pastors sometimes refuse to bless such unions, and why not allow the couple to formalize their marriage in the church?

Good day/evening, Pastor Densing. I’d like to ask a question that’s been on my mind for quite a while now. I’d appreciate it if you took the time to read and answer my question even if it might sound nonsensical, for I don’t really know how to put my thoughts together properly. Thank you and God Bless! In Jesus’ time, His disciples would call Him ‘Lord’, right? It’s a secular term that they would use to show respect for Jesus as they recognize Him as the master or owner of their lives and the world. Same with God, the Jews would call Him ‘Lord’ because they thought that His real name, YHWH, was too holy to be spoken by mere humans. My question is this: Is the name ‘God’ considered to be a title as well? People, then and now, would usually use the word ‘god’ if they are describing someone powerful. In Christian definition, God is the creator and ruler of the universe and source of all moral authority; the supreme being. In other religions, a god is a superhuman being or spirit worshiped as having power over nature or human fortunes; a deity. Like in Greek and Egyptian mythology, they have their own gods; the god of the seas, the god of the underworld, and such. It’s obvious that they use the word ‘god’ as a title; to acknowledge their power and authority, so is it the same for our God? Is ‘God’ considered as a title or is it really God’s identity; one that should solely belong to Him?
