Why the Lord Jesus Gave the Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven to Peter

Baffled From Reading the Bible

When I got up early in the morning, I made a prayer, then opened up the Bible to Matthew 16:19, where the Lord Jesus says to Peter: “And I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” Reading this passage of scripture, I became confused, thinking: “Peter didn’t do any great work nor were the epistles he wrote very famous. On top of that, when the Lord Jesus was arrested and stood trial, Peter denied Him three times. Why didn’t the Lord give the keys of the kingdom of heaven to other disciples, but only to Peter?” I searched and searched through the Scriptures, but nothing resolved my confusion. I had no choice but to go off to work.

Is There Any Biblical Basis for the Statement “Once Saved, Always Saved”

The sun sank into the west, and the last light of the sinking sun spread across the world as I walked back home after a meeting, thinking of what the pastor had said: “Once saved, then we are always saved, for the Bible says, ‘That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved. For with the heart man believes to righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made to salvation’ (Romans 10:9-10).

In order to eliminate religious beliefs, the atheist CCP government frequently adopts measures for surveilling Christians such as conducting stakeouts and tailing them in an attempt to make a clean sweep of them. The sketch Police Plots is about the collusion of evil CCP officers in disguise and an auxiliary officer, a donkey in a lion's skin, who carry out a stakeout to arrest Christians gathering at the home of Zhao Yuzhi. How will Zhao Yuzhi and her family deal with the Chinese police's sinister trickery? What troubles will befall them?
