Word of Truth Ministries

Welcome to Word of Truth Ministries (WOTM)

If you have arrived here intentionally, or by quiet curiosity, know this:

  • What you believe about God and salvation matters more than anything else in this world.
  • Christianity is not a religion. It is not a system of rules, rituals, or traditions created by men. Christianity is a relationship with God through Jesus Christ, based on grace, not works. Christ did all the work. God came to man.
  • The message of salvation is simple and direct and carries permanent and eternal consequences. Therefore, the following will be the most important words you will read in your life…

“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved.”

Acts 16:31

“He that believes on the Son has everlasting life: and he who believes not shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains upon him.”

John 3:36

“But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that by believing you may have life through His name.”

John 20:31

THE BOTTOM LINE:  

Jesus Christ, the perfect God-man, died for our transgressions, was buried, and rose again and ascended to Heaven to be at the right hand of God the Father in glory.

He just wants you to believe it.

Belief in Christ removes God’s wrath from you (John 3:36 above) and replaces it with everlasting life. Salvation is not earned, maintained, or proven through effort, ritual, or rule-keeping. It is a gift, received by faith.

In religion, a person works to get to, or to please, a god or the God.

In true Christianity, the Living God did all the work for us. Christ’s death on the cross was the only way to please the Father, to satisfy His perfect justice, and to give us a way back to God after sin separated all of us from Him. God knew sinful humanity could do nothing to win their salvation, so God came to man.

No religion claims this. No figure in any religion or faith offered to die for you. In fact, all those people who started all the different religions are dead. And none of them have come back from the dead either.

Christ conquered sin and death for you—He simply asks you to turn from your disbelief (repent) and turn to belief in the saving work of Christ on the cross.

It all happened. It’s all true.

Ephesians 1:7: “In him (Christ) we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace.”

Why This Site Exists

This site exists to make biblical truth clear, without pressure, without manipulation, and without religious bias. Religion was created by men to control people. Christianity exists to save them.

Walk away from religion. Walk away from bondage. Accept Christ today.

What This Site Contains

Word of Truth Ministries preserves the lifetime work of Bible Teacher and Scholar C. S. Craig, and contains hundreds of in-depth entries—Bible studies, doctrinal explanations, meditations, reflections, and poetry—written to encourage thoughtful study and spiritual growth.

Whether you seek truth or have studied Scripture for years, this site is designed to serve as a comprehensive resource rather than a brief introduction.

Over 700 entries are available across studies, meditations, and topical resources. More studies have been found and will appear with a “NEW” tag at the end of the title as they are posted.

Any translations referenced in WOTM studies were not produced by C. S. Craig or anyone else here. The expanded explanations of Scripture were primarily drawn from the work of R. B. Thieme Jr., who taught through rigorous exegetical and categorical studies of the Word. He graduated Summa Cum Laude from Dallas Theological Seminary in the 1940s with majors in Greek and Hebrew. Thieme spent more than 60 years studying the King James Version alongside the same types of Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic manuscripts that the KJV translators used in 1607. These manuscripts are ancient copies—not the original writings themselves—but they still exist today and form the basis of traditional English Bible translation.¹

Every word of the Bible is true. Bar none.

¹ The translators of the 1611 King James Version relied primarily on the Masoretic Text for the Hebrew Old Testament and the Textus Receptus for the Greek New Testament. They also consulted readings from the Septuagint, earlier English translations such as Tyndale’s Bible and the Geneva Bible, and the Latin Vulgate. These sources still exist today, but they’re only copies made from earlier copies, not the original writings of the biblical authors.

      “My goal through WOTM (and my daily, real-life experience) is to do my part, to have an impact in helping others find answers to their disbelief and to their questions, ones which block their first steps into a spiritual journey with Christ.” — C. S. Craig

      Thank you for visiting. May your search for truth be guided by the clarity, peace, and assurance found in Christ alone.

WOTM does not claim immunity from criticism nor assume automatic acceptance by its readers. We offer good reasons for the hope that is in us.
