Can we Loose our Salvation
While this is a subject of study all its own, there are just a few points that will be considered here….

A primary reason why God gave the Law was so that we recognize that we are sinners, unable to attain salvation by any merit of our own…
Bee-Coming Like Us
As we consider the title Son of Man, there is more to say about how it brings out His power and humility. In this book of Mark, let’s consider the great emphasis on the word hand. He is going to be handed over into the hands of humanity. We remember how He used His hands to deliver, save, and heal so many from disease. Do you remember the manner with which He cured people since the beginning of the book?
Let No Man Separate what God Has Put Together

The Covenant of Salt
This is why salt is good. For everyone will be salted with fire. We can think of the concept of common grace where everyone will be given a chance to attain salvation; everyone will be salted with the fire of cleansing and given the ability to make a decision. But this is not available forever.
Betraying the Hands which Heal
As we consider the title Son of Man, there is more to say about how it brings out His power and humility. In this book of Mark, let’s consider the great emphasis on the word hand.

The Betrayal Begins
Anti-Semitism has been and is now growing in churches today. Support for Israel is dwindling at a very fast pace, and dislike for what is Jewish is also growing today, especially among young Christians. This movement is the precursor of the formation of the world religious system described in Revelation 17, which will be utterly anti-Semitic…

The Incarnation: God’s Dwelling With Man
As Yeshua comes down the mountain, His focus is at first on the disciples.

Standing Amazed
Why was the crowd amazed since Yeshua had not done any miracle or taught anything as of yet since His descent from the mountain?
