A Reading on Ephesians 1

John Nelson DarbyYou get that word "faithful" added in the first verse of Ephesians and Colossians. "Saints" means that God has sanctified them; but "faithful," that is what they were; they were in the exercise of faith towards God and our Lord Jesus Christ. It is having faith, but at the same time it practically co... Lee mas

Acts 5

John Nelson DarbyAlthough a man may be truly a Christian, yet the flesh always remains in him, which is just as ready to shew itself in the assembly as in the world. The desire to have a good reputation among men may arise in the heart, although such a reputation may merely be sought for among Christians. Thus too i... Lee mas

Christ and His Reconciliation Colossians 1

John Nelson DarbyThere are two ways in which we may approach the gospel of the grace of God: firstly, the conscience convicted, and seeing how God has met the condition of man, as in Romans 1-3; and, secondly, the counsels of God from which it all flows. We may trace Him up from the poor sinner in his need, or we ma... Lee mas

Colossians 1 Rochdale

John Nelson DarbyThe epistle to the Colossians was written more expressly to Gentiles; that to the Ephesians was, too, but Colossians exclusively so. The saint is here viewed as risen, but still on earth, and his hope is laid up for him in heaven; that gives a character to the epistle. And inasmuch as he is on earth... Lee mas

Notes of a Reading on Colossians 1 (1879)

John Nelson DarbyThe word "Lord" is often used by people in a vague way; but here (v. 3) we find those names of God and of Christ which represent relations. If we say "Father," we speak as children; if we say "Lord," we speak as servants of the Lord Jesus. The title Lord applies to Christ as Man in the glory. "What ... Lee mas

On Hebrews 2

John Nelson DarbyThe first four verses refer to the previous chapter. Christ's divine nature is looked at in Hebrews 1, then in Hebrews 2 He is looked at as Man. In chapter 1 it is the divinity of His Person, in chapter 2 His humanity. In these first four verses the apostle warns us not only not to disobey, but not ... Lee mas

Remarks on Failure

John Nelson DarbyGalatians The title of this paper was given by the Editor: G. V. Wigram. The leading subject of the Epistle to the Galatians, as is manifest, is the correction by God's Spirit, of the first form of error by which the doctrine of Christ began to be corrupted; and, it may be observed, there is a sever...

The Eternal Sonship of Christ

John Nelson DarbyThough I have ever held this verse, to say the least, to be very doubtful from the course of the meaning, it is not to discuss this at present I write, but another point of importance - the use of the term Son. There are those who, objecting to the term Son as applied to the divinity of our Lord, st... Lee mas
