Having we hope now determined who specifically the Mediator is we would now like to address our last question, where and when does this mediation begin?
More to the point where (or with whom precisely is the new covenant mediated) and when will this mediation commence?
“Behold the days are...
Luke 13:20,21 - "To what shall I liken the kingdom of God? It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal till it was all leavened."
Much like light that exposes, or salt that preserves, leaven influences its surroundings in a subtle but overpowering way. So it is with...
We continue once again with our forth question, who specifically is the Mediator?
In this study we would like to take a quick look at the “Testator” to see how this is related to the Mediator.
Testator: a person who has made a will or given a legacy.
“And for this reason he is the Mediator of...
Who specifically is the Mediator?
As we had stated at the end of our last post the typical answer to this question is Christ, but who is THE Christ? What say the Scriptures?
“For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also...
2 Samuel 5:20, "So David went to Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there; and he said, "The Lord has broken through my enemies before me, like a breakthrough of water."
David is speaking about his experience with the Lord's breakthrough. He describes it like an outburst of waters that is...
Once again our question: Who are the parties in dispute who require mediation?
The Scriptures indicate that the two parties are God on the one hand and the “sons of disobedience” on the other; those not yet reconciled to him, “children of wrath”, out of harmony both with himself and with his...
Who are the parties in dispute who require mediation?
In the general sense we have already addressed this question by affirming that the dispute is between God and the “sons of disobedience” (Eph 5:6), that it is these two parties who have need of mediation in order to facilitate...
Hebrews 4:12 - "For the Word of God is living and powerful.........."
For one who has faith in the Word of God, there is nothing impossible. There are no impossibilities when there is faith..........and there are no exceptions.......
Our faith in God's word is not just an abiding faith; it is...
The Lord(Spirit) never looses control of steering those that are His.
Acts 27:1-44 And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus' band. [2]And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we...
Why is a mediator necessary?
“The need of a Mediator arises out of the fact of sin. Sin interrupts the harmonious relation between God and man. It results in a state of mutual alienation. On the one hand, man is in a state of enmity to God (Rom 5:10; 8:7; Col 1:21). On the other hand, God is...
Romans 10:18 -- "But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their SOUND went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world."
The Helper, the Holy Spirit, is also ready to give us the double portion of His sound or voice. For those who welcome the Holy Spirit, He will give a...
A common and erroneous thought held by many professing Christians today is that the Lord is (presently) engaged in the work of mediation, mediating the New Covenant between God and the Church. They imagine that this New Covenant went into effect during our Lord’s first advent when it is assumed...
2 Corinthians 4:13 - "We have the same spirit of faith as he (the psalmist) who wrote, I have believed and therefore have spoken. We too believe, and therefore we speak."
TO SPEAK BY FAITH IS SIMPLY TO SPEAK WORDS THAT AGREE WITH THE WORD OF GOD INSTEAD OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES AROUND YOU. IT'S...
What is the darkness? Pride, arrogance, hated, oppression, condemnation, haughtiness, respecter of persons, absence of love, absence of grace, absence of mercy. Absence of Christ. Nowhere in the fruits of the Spirit listed in the word of God is there any of these listed as fruit. The fruit comes...
Genesis 15:3-4
[3] And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir. [4] And, behold, the word of the Lord came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.
"Out of...
The Special or Great Salvation
“Let us now take a glance at the other salvation; the special one called in Scripture, “THE salvation,” “YOUR salvation,” “OUR salvation,” “so GREAT salvation,” and etc. (Luke 3:6; Eph 1:13; Phil 2:12; Rom 13:11; Heb 2:3; 1 Pet 1:10). Like the other, this...
Revelation 19:14 - "And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses."
In this passage a wonderful picture is painted of the armies of Heaven following Christ into battle. These armies have been washed in the Blood of the lamb. These...
A failure to clearly discern the distinction between, first: the sacrifice which Jesus gave for our sins, on account of which we have been granted repentance and remission of sins, and second, the sacrifice we have been called to make with Christ as sharers of his sufferings and to fit us to...
Matthew 17:14-21, "...A man came to Him, kneeling down to Him and saying, 'Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is an epileptic and suffers severely; for he often falls into the fire and often into the water. So I brought him to Your disciples, but they could not cure him.' ... And Jesus rebuked...
