Abstract

Romans 6:14 mentioned of the moral law and grace of God and is one of misunderstood texts. This research uses the methodology of theological study and analysis to elucidate the correct meaning of Romans 6:14. Paul understood that humans are no longer under the condemnation of the law, but under gracious dispensation and still under the jurisdiction of the law. Under grace means that men are justified by faith and redeemed from the curse of law through Christ. Christians living under the dispensation of grace are enabled to have victory over the dominion of sin as the Holy Spirit guided the life because law has now been written in the hearts of believers. The Ten Commandments does not provide salvation or remove sin, but it can lead the sinners to seek a remedy for guilt, to point out sins and at the same time point to Jesus.

Abstract

This article exegetes the eschatology of Malachi 4:1-6. Most studies mention the subject in passing leaving the eschatology of the text opaque. The issue compounds when studies apply incomprehensive methodologies. The impact of this exegetical hole shows up in divergent views of fulfilment. A major area of interest among studies of prophetic texts. The article utilizes a multifaceted prophetic exegesis. The method incorporates various aspects of text analysis to define the eschatology within the text. It touches historical and literary aspects. It analyses issues related to typology. It’s focus leads the exegete to give due attention to fulfilment of prophetic texts. It uncovers the eschatological substructure imbedded in the text. The approach demonstrates that Malachi 4:1-6 contains eschatological features in the immediate context. These features transcend the immediate context when the person of John the Baptist and Jesus enter the biblical narrative. Beyond these two biblical figures. The study considers eschatology in light of the NT. At the end, the article summarizes and key findings

Abstract

While the mission motif of Isa 61:1-11 seems to be passed over in silence, this study investigates the passage using linguistic analysis and discovers the theological significance of the motif of mission. The study indicated how YHWH relates to His mission, through the Speaker—identified as the Messiah, and His redemptive purpose for all humanity. Mission is centered on YHWH’s empowerment of the Speaker to deliver comforting messages and give hope to the discouraged, accelerate the freedom of prisoners, and console the grieving since their anguish and sadness is about to be converted into cheer. The focus is on Israel, though the nations will witness and glory in Israel’s salvation and righteousness. In effect, there will be a sprouting forth of YHWH’s righteousness and praises from the peoples of all the nations—an expression that has the worldwide salvific mission of the speaker in view.

Abstract

For centuries, the word "κατα μιαν σαββατων’ " which meaning "first day of the week" in 1 Corinthians 16:2, has been a contentious term in Christianity. Many Christian scholars have accepted the phrase "first day of the week" as proof that early Christians observed Sunday as a day of worship. On the other hand, due to the context of the text, some scholars consider that this statement does allude to retaining Sunday as a day of worship, but for a different reason. As a result, the study's goal is to figure out what day early Christians worshiped and what it means today. In order to comprehend the meaning of the phrase "κατα μιαν σαββατων" and avoid misunderstanding among Christians, the author attempted to analyze the meaning and intent of that phrase through research. The meaning of each Greek word in the texts, the grammatical and syntactical structure of the texts, the broader context of the problematic phrase, and the use of extra Biblical study. The finding of the study shows that that the meaning of "first day of the week" refers to Sunday as the first day of the week, since in Greek Sabbath also means a week. However, the language of 1 Corinthians 16:2 does not mention worship; rather, it instructs members to lay aside an amount for the Jerusalem collection on the first day of the week at home .
