“By grace are ye saved through faith.” (Eph 2:8)
It was from his Roman prison that the Apostle Paul wrote the Epistle to the Ephesians, one of the most beautiful of all his letters to the churches; full of deep spiritual instruction. Its keynote is “IN Christ,” this expression, or its...
Dream About The College Students:
I was with a couple of women, and we appeared to be in a cafeteria having a tea break. We were in a college. I was possibly a teacher, or maybe part of the staff, but definitely not a student. As we were chatting, I heard something that made me look towards the...
All who are called may take the second step—SANCTIFICATION
To sanctify is to set apart or separate to a special thing or use. God’s will is that all justified ones should be sanctified or set apart to his service as we read: “This is the will of God even your (believers) sanctification.” 1...
Justification, Sanctification, Redemption
These are the three steps by which we are to reach “the prize of our high calling“–glory, honor and immortality. Not one of these steps can be omitted by those who win the great prize, nor can they be taken in any way but their order as directed in the...
CROSS-BEARERS MUST BATTLE WITH THE FLESH, ALSO.
“While we pointed out, foregoing, that cross-bearing is quite separate from battling with the weaknesses of the flesh, nevertheless whoever has the mind of Christ, whoever is seeking to be a cross-bearer and to stand up as a representative of the...
IN WHAT DOES CROSS-BEARING CONSIST?
The Master’s cross-bearing did not consist in fighting the weaknesses of the flesh, for he had none; nor are these weaknesses of the flesh our crosses. Because all our weaknesses of the flesh are fully covered by the merit of our Lord’s sacrifice; our...
Continued from previous post.
“GOD KINDLY VEILS OUR EYES.”
“It is fortunate for us that in the outstart we do not, cannot, estimate or appreciate the full meaning of the words, sacrifice, cross-bearing, etc. If we could look into the future and see from the start the various trials and...
Continued from previous post.
“Some might be inclined to think that urging to accept the Lord and to seek to be his follower, with the thought that any other course would mean eternal torment, might be considered a deception which would work out benefit to the deceived ones – a deception which...
“If any man will come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.” – Matt. 16:24.
“Our Lord’s invitation to forsake all and follow him is presented in very different language from the usual invitations given in his name today; – the thought, the sentiment, is wholly...
THE CLEANSING MAINTAINED.
If our escape from sin and its condemnation is by a ransom for Adam’s sin,
What shall we conclude concerning errors, omissions and transgressions now committed by those who have escaped and who have been JUSTIFIED from Adamic sin?
Would not the least sin on our part...
ESCAPE FROM CONDEMNATION.
We got into condemnation without our choice, but cannot get out of it without our choice, but the conditions for escape are so simple and easy that all shall be without excuse. It is simply “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.”
But to believe on him means more than at...
FAITH AND WORKS.
The relationship between faith and works is simple and clear when seen from a scriptural standpoint, yet very obscurely recognized by the great majority.
Works can never justify us, nor so long as we are under the imperfections resultant from sin can God recognize works at...
The following is the most important aspect I found here in this discourse, as many, myself included have fallen prey to it, and more than once.
But “let him that thinketh he stands take heed lest he fall;” for sudden and sharp will be many of the tests applied to prove our continued...
In the visions of the Apocalypse (Revelation) we read of a wonderful scroll in the right hand of the great King who sits upon the throne of universal dominion. This scroll is a forceful representation of the divine plan, originally existing only in the mind of God, and which could not be made...
Let us now consider our previous question, viz.,
Why should God continue his blessings, of which life is the chief, to those who after knowing and being enabled to conform to his just requirements, will not do so?
It is just: because God is under no obligation to man. Man is already his debtor...
Emerging from that blackness of error called Calvinism (with its heaven of blessing for the "little flock" and its eternal torment for all others, as taught by good but sadly deceived men – John Calvin, Jonathan Edwards, Charles H. Spurgeon and others – ) into the glorious light of the goodness...
Destroying Your Temple—Your Body
There are many suicide lifeline and prevention agencies available out there who work tirelessly, ensuring that people get the right help they need, trained workers and health professionals who are ready to listen, chat and provide support for people at risk of...
What about the 120 years?
120 years prior to the flood the Lord warned Noah that the present age of mankind had but 120 years remaining before He would destroy them from the face of the earth (Gen 6:13). Noah then immediately commenced to warn his contemporaries of this impending judgement...
The following we add as a supplement to this study as it coincides with our study here. It was taken from our study on Matthew Chapter 24, “Our Lord’s Great Prophecy”
We would like here to present a bit more insight in regards to the “watches” mentioned in Luke 12:38, which we hope might aid...
"THEY WITHOUT US SHALL NOT BE MADE PERFECT."
– Heb 11:40. –
We remark, incidentally, that following the gathering of the Church to glory, as peviously outlined, will come the resurrection of the holy ones of the past, – "Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and all the holy prophets," whose resurrection...
