Hello @VictoryinHim Forgive me, for I can see that I have indeed confused you, I am sorry. I don't see how I can really rectify it, except to take away the underlining, and ask you to read it as it stands, without emphasis on anything in particular. If you find it still causes confusion...

'And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. .. But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, .... He that raised up Christ from the dead ...... shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit...

'Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.' (Matthew 22:28) 'I AM - .. the God of Abraham, and .... the God of Isaac, and ...... the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.' (Matthew 22:32) Hello @marks...

Hello @Ronald Nolette, With respect, please look at Matthew 22:28, and the word, 'in the resurrection'. It is only the power of the resurrection that can raise us to life. Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @VicroryinJesus, Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I am glad that you have the joy of going to sleep with the word of God on your mind. How necessary it is to have the word of God dwelling in us richly, isn't it? For the Holy Spirit is able to use those moments of quiet, to bring to...

(12) For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day. (13) Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in...

Hello, @VictoryinJesus, Thank you for your response. I so love the thought that God 'keeps' or guards us, as in Philippians 4:6-7 where it is our hearts and minds that He keeps. We doing our part in the outworking of that peace by doing what is said in Philippians 4:8-9. You mention 2...

'For God, Who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.' (2Co...

'And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He did...

'That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us. This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.' (2 Timothy 1:14) Hello @VictoryinJesus (& @Hidden In Him) Thank you for this...

'For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day. Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love...

Hello @Backlit, When I think of the finished work of Christ, the first chapter of Ephesians comes to my mind, where everything that has been accomplished for us is spoken of in the past tense. It has been done. We are indeed 'complete' in Christ (Colossians 2:10). This refers to our...

Hello again, @Hidden In Him, At the end of the Old Testament, in Malachi, warning was given of the wrath to come. The promise in that same prophetic book was of the One Who was to come, and the one who would herald His coming. Then came the gospel record which offered the means of escape from...

Hi @Hidden In Him, The post I was responding to was as follows:- * I do not believe that God's suggested difference of approach to mankind in the New Testament to that in the Old Testament is because He was speaking to two different classes of people. He was speaking to Israel in the Old...

Hello @MattMooradian, God is a Holy God, Righteous and yet Just. He is able to justify those who come to Him for salvation ONLY on the basis of the blood shed by His only Begotten Son, who Himself was without sin, so could take upon Himself the sins of the whole world and die in the place of...

Hello @shinethelight32, Thank you for sharing your knowledge concerning these things. I agree with you absolutely. With love in Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Hidden In Him, With respect to you, I do not believe this to be true. God is reaching out His arms in grace and love now, in sending His Son the Lord Jesus Christ as the Saviour of the world, He sent Him not to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved, from the...

@Backlit @Hidden In Him Hello there, I quote my post (above) because it was referred to by 'Backlit'. In Ephesians, I believe that the 'choosing' of God, which took place before the foundation of the world, was not to salvation itself, but to 'the calling' that was being revealed to them in...

Hello @Hidden In Him, Thank you. 5) Now Moses, in the law, commanded us that such should be stoned. But what do You say?” * This law referred only to a 'betrothed damsel. (Deuteronomy 22:24),and to show that the Lord knew their thoughts, and knew also that this was another man's 'wife', He...
