John 1:29 29 The next day he *saw Jesus coming to him and *said, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! Jesus has come in the flesh...not to cover sins but take them away...remove them. The Greek word Airo is used to describe what Jesus does with sins.... Other...

Sunday morning sermons, Bible studies, personal devotions, they’re all a waste of time. Why? Because these sorts of activities try to teach us about the peculiar sort of life Jesus called his followers to live. While that may sound like a good and important endeavor, it’s really a waste of time...

Joh 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Joh 1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. Joh 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us...

I "lifted" this from another site I'm on. It goes a long way in explaining the actual reality of salvation. Salvation Salvation is a large concept in scripture. Noah was “saved” from the floodwaters but 350 years later he was not saved from death. David was saved many times from Saul but...

Romans 6:18 and having been freed from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. Do we think we are free from the consequences of sin...or from sin itself? Are we truly bondslaves of Jesus Christ..or do we just exploit Jesus for the benefits without the full surrender? 1401 doúlos (a masculine...

I am starting this thread for those who wish to post about their own experiences in reaching out to the lost...the rejected ones of society. I am doing this first for brother Dave but for any one else who wishes to share of their experience. Has anyone ever ministered to the lost,,,either...

...is basically the same as the world...both going down in a downward spiral. Is the answer more of man inspired evangelism we see so much of? Who brings more furniture into a burning building? Or perhaps we think the fire will be put out from the wind as Jesus spits the church out of His...

People are always looking for the easiest way...the way that is easiest for the flesh to emulate. Romans 8 is very misunderstood by most. We have some great exhortations that are missed...but stand as real markers to the standard of the risen in Christ. Rom 8:10 And if Christ be in you, the...

Who has an ear to hear what Jesus is saying to the church in our own time? Rev 3:14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; Rev 3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold...

It seems this forum is like a magnet to the lawless ones who reduce Jesus Christ to an anarchist who tolerates sin...even dies to protect our right to sin. In this scheme men don't change or convert...GOD DOES! So the law or anything that shows the truth...is abolished. What a time we are living...

Gal_5:4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. I think very few Christians understand this verse. they think this doesn't happen to Christians...in spite of the fact that Paul was writing this to a new testament church. It...

We are living in a time where the "state of grace" is unknown and not even believed in let alone understood. When we walk in the Spirit we cannot sin. When we abide in Christ we show Christ to the world...it is no longer we who are doing the living out. Now many will agree with the bible...

We live in oerilous times. Life is easy...and the flesh is catered to at every turn. Even in the church. Actually especially in the church! Jesus laid out the cost of discipleship...to forsake ALL things for Him. But in most Christian circles this cost is not even considered. It simply is not...

"The fear of God and the peace proceeding from the love of God need to coexist in the believer's heart because the peace of God by itself cannot induce repentance in the sinner's heart and thus, no salvation. And on the other hand, the fear of God without His love creates despair.Therefore, a...

David said... Psa 119:47 And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved Psa 119:48 My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes. Psa 119:142 Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is...

Greetings to all! How much potential do we have as new creations in Christ to do exploits for God? How many potential Paul's and Peter's are there among us? Jesus said... "Verily, verily I say unto you, except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: But if it die it...

1. We are saved from past sins and then empowered to not sin through grace? 2. We are positionally saved from sin in advance since no one can ever stop sinning while in the present bodies? Sin is no longer an issue? 3. We must try really hard to stop sinning by our own efforts? Which option...

Here is a question that seeks to reveal the true direction of the people here on this forum. What say you!

The words "born again" are bantered about quite regularly in today's world, and this at a time when we see less and less power in the lives of those who profess this new birth. Is there something missing from our understanding of what it means to be born again (born of the Spirit, born from...
