In our previous post we were curious as to whether the work of being baptized into Jesus’ death was an instantaneous act performed when we first come to Christ and seek admission into “the body” or, a life work?
We answer it is both.
When we first come to God through Jesus, we covenant (enter...
But what is it to thus die his death. Is it simply to put “away the filth of the flesh,” that is to deny ourselves only such things as are sinful?
No, that would not be “being made conformable to his death.” “In Him [Jesus] was no sin;” consequently he could not put to death a sinful nature...
Before considering what constitutes Scriptural baptism, let us inquire whether it is essential. We have no hesitation in saying that it is indispensable, and that no one will have a part in the “little flock” or be of “The bride, the Lamb’s wife” who has not been baptized. Further, we have...
Who will develop, this higher nature – many or few of those who enter the covenant?
We answer: All of them, except those who openly ignore the value of the “blood of the covenant wherewith they were sanctified,” i.e., set aside and ignore the value of Christ’s death – as their ransom or...
Restitution signifies the restoring of a thing which was lost. You might give a person anything, whether he had once possessed it or not; but it would be quite improper to call it restoring unless he had once possessed and then lost it. The human family once possessed a perfect mental, moral and...
In ordinary times it is the privilege and duty of the children of God to shine as “the light of the world.” As in nature, the energies of everything that is germinated are directed to the building up and perfecting its own organizations, and thereby fulfilling its own mission in the realms of...
Calming The Storm In Jesus Name.
After praying for everyone the Lord asked me to pray for early this morning. I was out back at the time as Hurricane Vaianu swirled around my property, violently bending the trees. After praying, I saw a vision of the Lord commanding the storm at sea to be still...
Dream About The Puppies
I was in a house where the lounge had a ranch slider door to the outside. There were children with me, but I was not clear about who they were; I just knew they were there. I came into the lounge from another room and noticed a very tiny black puppy near the sliding...
We have seen that to every covenant to which there are obligations of two parties, there is a mediator, or one who stands between guaranteeing the fulfillment of its conditions. As under the covenant of the Law, Moses was the mediator, so is “JESUS THE MEDIATOR OF THE NEW COVENANT,” and to him...
“THE NEW COVENANT” is repeatedly mentioned in scripture.
It should not be misconstrued as being God’s covenant with us – “the seed;” no, that was part of the Abrahamic covenant, and although in harmony with each other, they are not the same, nor is the “new covenant” made with the church at...
A covenant is a ratified, unalterable agreement. God has made many covenants with man. (Gen 6:18; Jer 33:20 and etc.) Three, however, stand out very prominently, as in them have been bound up all the best interests of mankind.
FIRST: The Covenant of God to Abraham. This covenant seems to...
Vision Of The Babbling Waters
I was doing some admin work on CyB this morning when I had a vision. In this vision I saw a brook or flowing stream of water. In the middle of this brook, raised up a little, there appeared to be a shape of a face. It had a mouth and eyes. It looked harmless enough...
You can stand right next to Jesus… and still not be hearing Him.
Those words come at the end of a profound passage where disciples of Jesus have an encounter they’ll never forget. But they still don’t understand Jesus.
Isn’t that the story of life sometimes? You can be close to Jesus and still...
Again, we have found the word to teach that the Jewish age was given as a pattern, or shadow, or illustration of the Gospel age, and we have found it so. The latter being on a higher plane than the former, but otherwise its exact counterpart. It was 1840½ years from the beginning of the age to...
W. Now we will glance hurriedly at some of the evidences that we are NOW in “the days of the Son of Man.” I will not attempt to prove the points of time.
Q. I have followed you so far, and can agree with your position fully, but when you come to prove that Jesus is now present and ask me to...
“THIS SAME JESUS SHALL SO COME IN LIKE MANNER.”
Q. Now with regard to Jesus’ second coming, does not this text, ‘You men of Galilee, why stand you gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as you have seen him go into heaven’...
Q. If Jesus after his resurrection was a glorious spiritual body, how was it that the disciples never saw his glorious body? Why did he appear to them as he had done before his death?
W. If Jesus had appeared to them and shown his glory, they would probably have been so alarmed as to be unable...
A dialogue between brethren.
Questioner. – It is some time since we have had a talk together Brother W., and I have called now to make a few inquiries.
I want you to give me in a few words, your reasons for believing that Jesus is now present.
Watchman. – I am glad to talk with you upon so...
Dream About The Admins
Last night I dreamt that I was on someone’s forum (not CyB) and I counted 20 new admins that the owner had added to his team. (20 names written in red). I thought that this was not a good idea, as each admin will then deal with issues independently and not necessarily be...
Dream About The School Assignment
In this dream. I was at university, working with a group of others on an assignment that significantly contributed toward our final grade. I wrote down the course requirements along with other key notes in a notebook. Then suddenly, all our weeks of hard work...
