One of the incredible privileges for believers of the modern age is the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. This ministry is unique to the modern age and will never be provided again once the Rapture takes place.
Why does the Holy Spirit indwell Christians?
Most of the Bible is made up of Old Testament Scriptures, and the vast majority of them teach either the history of Israel or the future of Israel in prophecy. Yet modern Christians keep the Old Testament as part of the faith.
Why do Christians today need the Old Testament?
Many times in the Bible, God is said to desire that mankind draw near to Him for fellowship. Some Christians believe that they must invite God into their lives for this fellowship to take place, but careful study reveals that we don't need to invite Him, because He invites us.
What does the Bible say about receiving an invitation from God?
In the New Testament, a whole different way of living and worshipping God is commanded for believers. To enable us to live by these new standards, God presented a mystery doctrine which had thus far been unknown by all creatures up to this point.
What is the mystery doctrine and why is it important?
The Bible continually exhorts believers to walk in the truth and the light. And yet, there appear to be many issues of doctrine on which various groups disagree, giving rise to denominations and sects.
Are there legitimate differences in doctrine, and how should they be handled?
As all believers know, the way to receive salvation is to have faith alone in Christ alone; believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved; through faith in Him, we will be in heaven forever. It is therefore important to know what this really means.
How does one believe in Christ?
Personal sins can be categorized into three categories, those done by the mind, by the body, and by the mouth. While many focus on the sins of the body due to their visibility, the Bible teaches that verbal sins are far worse.
What horrible things come from the tongues of man?
Throughout history, governments have come to power that either elevate or oppress the religious freedoms of their people. But even in times of freedom, Christians are continually placed under pressure by the world system because of our beliefs. For some, this has led to civil disobedience or revolution or worse.
How are Christians supposed to live in relation to government?
The most prominent command to believers in The New Testament is to love: to live in it, to show it to others, and to honor Christ through it. Only by having love can a Christian know that he is doing the will of God in his daily life.
What does it mean to love your neighbor?
One of the great commands to God's people throughout all of scripture is to give thanks. Both Old Testament and New Testament believers are to express gratitude toward God for His marvelous blessings and Grace continually, not just before meals or at certain times of year
Why is giving thanks so important?
In an age of instant worldwide communication, the Good News of Jesus Christ is reaching further and faster than ever before. Modern believers may question if ancient peoples also received the knowledge of the salvation of God since they did not have these new technologies.
What does the Bible teach about the worldwide spread of the Gospel?

Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Ephesians 6:11-12
