In general, Gnosticism was the belief that matter itself is evil and spirit is good, the body being a prison of the soul. Philosophers who tried to combine this belief system with Christianity insisted that Jesus could not have had a human body (since bodies are evil) and therefore could not have been crucified.

The eleventh chapter of Hebrews, known as the great Hall of Fame of Faith reciting the faith and resulting action of many Old Testament heroes, begins with a description of what faith is

The division (concerning Jesus Christ, the Son of God) is life or death, light or darkness, heaven or hell, Christ or antichrist… and the choice is ours!
Drinking Well Water

This unusual name for a well means “well of the living one who sees me.” The chapter deals with Hagar when she fled from Sarai’s presence (v.6). The “angel of the LORD,” like a shepherd, found Hagar by a well in the wilderness (v.7). This is the first explicit reference in Scripture to the Lord’s messenger—the “angel of the LORD.”

“So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first” (Matthew 20:8).

Because Christ is God, this “gospel of Jesus Christ” (Mark 1:1) is surely the one true “gospel of God” (Romans 1:1). This is the gospel which we have been commissioned by Christ to preach “to every creature” (Mark 16:15), so we need no other.
Tragic Ignorance

May God deliver each of us from tragic ignorance of our need before Him. We should pray with the psalmist, “Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting” (Psalm 139:23,24).
The Test of Expedience

Christians are saved by the grace of God, not by works of righteousness. Therefore, in a sense, they are free to do whatever they please. “All things are lawful unto me.” The Christian, however, is under a higher law, the law of love and of seeking to please and honor his Savior and Lord.

Should we not carefully consider giving thanks to God for those things generally hid from our eyes; the crippled and maimed war veteran, the faith of a dying loved one, the crushed by hopeful wife of a fallen police officer, the physically extended doctor and nurse, the parent wasting away in some nursing home, the young person scorned for remaining pure, the wanting missionary, that special school teacher, mentor or uncle who cared and still, many others?
Fruitless Trees and Fruitless Lives

The fig tree was an object lesson on barrenness, typifying the Jewish nation’s condition in spite of their privileged heritage. This type of hypocritical fruitlessness receives condemnation (vv.20,21), exhibits a lack of faith (vv.22,23), and hinders our prayers (vv.24–26).
