As God began with Israel, giving them the Law as a rule of life so He could show the earth He always has a separated people from most of the world, He also now gives “the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus” to show He still has a separated people from most in the world. We then should not...

Believers are ones who are convicted but guiltless—“through faith” in the expiating Blood of Christ (Eph 1:7; Col 1:14; 1 John 1:7). Thus confession does not procure forgiveness but manifests God’s forgiveness; and that He has “cleansed us from all unrighteousness! This is to understand that...

Reckoning does not produce the blessings of God but appropriates them into practice. Saints are not dead to sin by reckoning it so, because it’s the work of Christ that has effected this power within the believer at rebirth. But reckoning puts this truth into practice (same for all blessings)...

The moment we begin to rest our peace on anything in ourselves, we lose it. This is why so many believers have not settled peace. How can you have settled peace? Only by having it in the Father’s own way. By not resting on anything, even the Spirit’s work within (not on the fruit of our faith...

Thanks for the reply and comment Nancy! God bless!

Thanks and welcome!!

The Nature of Grace 1. Grace is the Father acting freely, according to His own nature as Love; with no promises or obligations to fulfill; and acting, of course, righteously—in view of the Cross. 2. Grace, therefore, is uncaused in the recipient: its cause lies wholly in the Giver, in the...

You too Sis!

Thanks A! Not as we see ourselves but as He sees us in the Lord Jesus!

That's okay, I understand. The articles I post are studies and do take extra time! God bless!

No man could have a better moral and religious record than Job in the Old Testament and Paul in the New; but both these men were brought into the presence of God (e.g. He spoke to both—NC), and each one found that his best bit was corrupt; and it was not just God’s estimate but their own...

Always appreciate your replies APAK! God's blessings to your Family, and God be blessed!!

To further explain concerning the spiritual growth of believers (which are those born again), all are at a certain level of learning to “walk in the Spirit,” and this learning will continue to progress until we’re taken out of the world. God has each on a preplanned course and are growing in...

Until we leave this life, the walk of a believer is always exactly at the place where God desires him at any given time, because He is using everything in our lives at all times to progressively “conform” our manner of life here. This means all that we encounter and obtain (no more and no less)...

Appreciate your reply WMC! Yes, God uses all believers that are desirous to serve Him in one type of ministry or another. Blessings!

Moses spent forty years in the house of Pharaoh; and while his sojourn there was not without its influence and value, yet it was as nothing when compared with his sojourn in the desert. The former might be valuable; but the latter was invaluable, and indispensable. Nothing can possibly make up...

In the passage of 2Cor 2:1, the term "bought" can also be in relation to the act of deliverance from natural difficulties, as in the Exodus of Israel from Egypt and during their wilderness wanderings, of which can considered a purchase of Israel. I also still find it an interesting note that...

Hi E, and appreciate your instructional input! I also find it helpful, if at all possible, to be able to attempt to explain (good Bible commentators help the most) seemingly contradicting terminology which is often included with clearly presented doctrine. Good reply, and God bless!
