Hi Brother, and always appreciate your replies and comments, they are encouraging--an often needed element for the believer. I'm glad I checked the full site, because for some reason it didn't show you replied at the top. I believe everyone reborn will "please God" (Phl 2:13). Just staying...

Are you maintaining a clear conscience (1Ti 3:9)? If not, we are not giving the Lord Jesus the glory for it! There is no reason for a saint to allow the oppositions (self, Satan and society) to produce guilt in ones thoughts. God knows the believer’s objective is ever to “please” Him, because...

Hi Brother, and thanks for the encouraging reply and comments! It's also very satisfying to know that the Lord Jesus makes us "worthy" (1Co 11:27-29; 2Th 1:5).

The most difficult thing within Christianity is the trials saints will bear; but God will not allow us to endure more than we are supposed to endure (1Co 10:13; Heb 12:4; 1Jo 5:3). Nevertheless, trusting God in all our “hardness” (2Ti 2:3) is the primary reason He takes us through every single...

Hi, and thanks for the comments! There are many immature believers that are being "worked" on (Phil 2:13) to bring them to maturity. Every believer is permanently saved, so every believer will be brought to maturity, if time allows; and everyone that should be saved, will be saved (Jhn 18:9).

Hi Brother, yes this type of information is always encouraging! Appreciate the reply, thanks for the comment and God bless!

Most believers are familiar with Romans 8:28, which is the most encouraging passage: “We know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” It’s my suspicion that many Christians do not have sufficient understanding...

Our Father would have us to “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2Pe 3:18). He lovingly carries this out by delivering us “unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the Life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh” (2Co 4:11). The natural tendency of...

Not a cloud of guilt, nor any evil power of control remains for the believer in the Lord Jesus! The "old man," at rebirth, has lost both its "condemnation" (Ro 8:1) and "dominion" (Ro 6:14) on the believer. The guilt is gone because Christ has taken its curse; and its power to cause the believer...

This article demonstrates the two levels of maturity in Christ; living on Him here via the “manna,” which indicates Christ’s Life when He was here. Or living on Him on the “corn of the land,” which indicates living on Him where He is now—big difference! NC There Is A Difference! The corn...

To be exalted (1Pe 5:6), we must first be aware that the “flesh” (old man; sin nature) is always a haughty and evil thing. There must be an experience of going through to know our evil before we can know the good, yea, the holiness of God; and there’s no doubt that this experience is worth the...

It may be one of the least interesting of things, but there is much growth in knowing God’s concerns for us when we are troubled, especially when in great difficulty! It is when we are going through a trial—regardless the size, that our spiritual growth increases the most. To know that God is...

Good post Brother! As long as we remember that regardless the size of mistake, if it's not intentional it is already forgiven. Those who sin willfully may either still not be matured enough in Christ, or they are still unbelievers.

Believers are either always forgiven for all sins, or not forgiven for any sins; Of course, the latter is never the case, and the prior is a truth of which there is no greater encouragement! A great truism is that God keeps believers in constant and continuous forgiveness (1Jn 1:9), and it’s the...

Confessing our sins to God is how we maintain fellowship with God. If we don't realize and "confess" our sins, we can't know God's forgiveness (1Jn 1:9). If we do know how to identify our sin, we are to ask God to show us our sin, so we can confess them and repent of them. Confessed sin is...
