The Good News Gospel, by Jay Quine

Woodcut of the Augsburg Confession, Article VI... Beacons of Good News, Jay QuineRomans 1:1, 16 The Best of Good News!
Can you remember the last time you heard some good news? This is Dr. Jay Quine. Today, I want you to remember the word, and that word is, Good News. The word “gospel” literally means “good news.” If you heard you won the lottery it would be good news. If you hear you were free from cancer, that would be good news. The bible uses the word Gospel to tell us the good news that through faith alone in Christ alone you can have eternal life. The free gift of salvation by faith, is indeed good news. It is a word to remember.

Jay Quine on Certainty

Romans 4:16 "Certain"
A man said to me we could not be certain about anything. I asked, “Really, are you sure?” We can’t even say we can’t be certain about anything unless we are certain about what we are saying. My grade school teacher taught me the ABC’s. I trusted her integrity, and am certain she was right. The Bible describes God as being wholly trustworthy because he has absolute integrity. He knows all things, and can do all things, so we can trust what God says with certainty. It is for this reason it is by faith, in accordance with grace, in order that the promise might be certain. Let me, Dr. Jay Quine, remind you to trust the Lord with all your heart, and enjoy the certainty of faith.

Jay Quine Comments: The Word "Baptized"

Moses Pleading with Israel, as in Deuteronomy ...Identified with Moses! Post by Jay QuineRomans 6:3-4
Once a graduate, you are forever identified with your college. We don’t say it this way, but we could say you’ve been baptized into your alma mater! The bible doesn’t always use the word “Baptized” for being dunked in water. While that is its original meaning, the word Baptism was also used to show a connection or identity. The people of Israel were baptized into Moses—they identified with Moses. So to, by faith Christians are baptized into Christ; identified with his death, burial and resurrection. Remember this word with me, Dr. Jay Quine. As a cloth is with colored dye, you are as identified with Christ’s experience so that you should now live with Him.
