John begins his letter immediately, without introducing himself or greeting the recipients. He himself recedes into the background and speaks immediately of Christ. The letter seems to have a certain urgency. The “last hour” (ch. 2:18) had arrived, and various destructive teachings threatened to break in upon the believers. This had to

An Irresistible Argument

The text discusses 1 Corinthians 15:20, countering claims in Corinth that there is no bodily resurrection. It outlines seven witnesses to Jesus’ resurrection and seven implications for faith if He had not risen, affirming He truly rose.

From the beginning. An exposition of the first Letter of John.

The First Letter of John – Introduction

A brief introduction to 1 John: Early church testimony and its style link the letter to John the Apostle, written late in the first century (c. 96 A.D.). Facing rising false teachers and Gnostic errors about Jesus and eternal life, John warns believers, assures them they truly have eternal life, and describes its marks in practice.

Dependence in the Life of Jesus

The Example of Abraham—Are You an Armchair Christian or an Overcomer?

The text reflects on how worldly influences and reliance on money can undermine believers’ trust in God, using Abraham’s flight to Egypt as an example. It contrasts this with Jesus’ resistance to temptation and urges steadfastness in trials.
John 16:33

Commentaries

The Holy Spirit – His nature and working

The presence of the Holy Spirit on earth is one of the significant and characteristic features of the Christian era. Therefore, it is important to have a clear understanding of the person of God’s Spirit and His work. The New Testament shows Him to us as a person of the Godhead who came to this earth and dwells in believers.
Acts 2,1-4; John 16:5-14

The Gospel of Mark

The evangelist Mark presents the Lord Jesus especially as the servant of God. According to His own words, He did not come to be served, but to serve and to give His life as a ransom for many (Mark 10:45). Every reader who studies the perfect servant will be led to spiritual growth and motivated to faithful service. This commentary provides a good overview of the Gospel of Mark, yet remains thorough in its approach.
Acts 10:38

He taught them many things in parables

The parables of the Lord Jesus form a central part of His teaching. Through everyday images and short narratives, they address questions of faith, responsibility, and the nature of God’s kingdom. This commentary examines the parables in their historical and literary context, highlighting their structure, themes, and intended audience in order to support a careful and informed understanding of these texts.
Mark 4:2

Exposition of the letter to the Romans

A clear yet profound exposition of the Epistle to the Romans! F. B. Hole was a skilled Bible expositor. He knew how to present the main points of a chapter precisely and vividly. This series of expositions of the New Testament offers valuable assistance in understanding the Word of God, which is so urgently needed but often neglected in our time.
Romans 1-16

Can I lose My Salvation?

The question of whether a believer can be lost has probably occupied every Christian at some point. It is simply too important to be pushed aside. This book provides a clear answer to this question. The basis for all considerations can only be the Word of God, not experiences and events. That is why many Bible passages are explained and interpreted in their context in this book. This gives the reader a renewed impression of how great and mighty God’s salvation is. But the aspect of human responsibility is not neglected either.
