Do Angels Live Forever?

'Personal' from John W. Ritenbaugh

The Greek term neos (G3501) relates to the concept of newness in the context of God's ultimate plan for creation. This term underlies the promise of a new heaven and a new earth, as described in Scripture, where no unrighteousness in any form, including angelic sins, will exist. The time is coming when sin will not even come to mind, and nothing will remind anyone of it, reflecting the pure moral and spiritual environment that God intends to establish.

Shrugging Off Scoffers (Part Two)

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

The Greek word *neos* (G3501) means new in time or origin, distinguishing it from *kainos*, which signifies new in nature or quality. While *kainos* describes something unaccustomed or unused, focusing on a transformation in form or essence, *neos* emphasizes the aspect of recentness or freshness in terms of when something came into being. This distinction helps clarify the nuanced ways Scripture addresses renewal and newness in various contexts.

God's Kingdom in the Parables (Part Four): The Pearl, the Dragnet, and the Householder

'Prophecy Watch' by David C. Grabbe

In the context of the eighth parable, a scribe who is a true disciple of the Kingdom brings forth good things from the treasury of his heart. These things are described as new and old, where "new" refers to character or quality, as denoted by the Greek term *kainos*. This is distinct from *neos*, which implies newness in terms of time. The disciple-scribe, therefore, delivers from his God-given understanding both what has come before and what is new in clarity and righteous application, emphasizing a higher quality of insight rather than mere temporal novelty.

Spiritual Renewal

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

Paul admonishes the Corinthians to resist contentions, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambition, backbiting, whispering, slander, conceit, and agitation.

His Eye Is on the Sparrow (Part Five)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh (1932-2023)

As the lives of the major biblical figures were predestined, so are our lives. God chooses, moves, and manages the lives of His servants.
