    The Only Way, Part 11

    The “SECOND STEP” entering the Tabernacle proper. “You shall make a screen for the door of the tabernacle, woven of blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine woven linen, made by a weaver.” (Exod 26: 36) This door (the “First Vail”) represents our Lord even as the “Entrance Curtain” to the...

    Part of it was quoted from an article entitled, “Our Great Burden Bearer” by Brother H. A. Friese, as taken from The Herald of Christ’s Kingdom Oct 1926 and part from an article entitled “The Greatest Event of History” Reprint 3560 May 1905 Brother unknown.

    Simon of Syrene... Why...

    "Casting all your care upon Him for He cares for you" (1 Pet. 5:7). There is not one care He won't bear. He has been all the way before us. His own burdens were heavy -- Gethsemane to the cross. At the end of that stress our dear Redeemer was so weakened physically that he was unable to bear...

    Help Me Understand About King and Prince Tyre In Ezekiel

    Many of the various peoples and nations of the past (most notably Israel) were set forth by the Lord as examples or types and many have parallel or secondary applications, (lessons and etc.), to be fulfilled. Take for example Babylon, for centuries Bible students have observed that many of the...

    The Glory

    “Now the free gift (justification to life) is not like the offense. For if through the offence of one (man, Adam) many be dead (under condemnation to death), much more the grace of God (the gracious plan of salvation), and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto...

    The Only Way, Part 10

    In our previous post we mentioned how the blind guides had deceived many into believing a mere professing of faith is all that is required of them to insure their heavenly reward, that and their membership in one of the various “pens” denominations or institutions devised by men. The blame...

    The Only Way, Part 9

    “Wolves” in the Courtyard In our previous post we were discussing the progressive path of those (individuals’ 1, 4, 5 and 6) who whilst in the courtyard were steadily taking the proper steps leading them to the main goal or object to their justification now during the Gospel Age. Such...

    Hell . . . The Bad News.

    It is a common misconception that all believers are going to heaven; unfortunately this is not the case. The majority of believers having never taken the second step of a full consecration to God, having never entered into covenant relationship with the Father (Rom 12:1; Psa 50:5) will take...

    The Glory

    As stated the word sanctification means to "set apart to make holy" and it implies the whole continuing process in life whereby the believer is being ' 'made meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light" (Col. 1:12). Sanctification is not instantaneous, but is a gradual work...

    Hell . . . The Bad News.

    What has this to do with our statement? We said nothing about any non-believers being consigned to second death, where did you get this idea? We merely stated that the “wages of sin is death” (Rom 6:23), the death referred to here is the “first death” Adamic death, that penalty which was...

    The Glory

    The process which leads to glorification is sanctification, the setting apart of ourselves to God and to His will, making our calling and election sure.

    The Glory

    The fact is glorification is the prize; one does not receive the prize until one wins the race, and of course one cannot even compete in the race unless one has first been qualified (justified) to enter the race in the first place. The second step naturally is to enter the race, to be...

    The Glory

    THE POWER WHICH SANCTIFIES It is not a power of physical force that is used by the Spirit of God in our development, but a mental power which appeals to our minds and wills. The Spirit appeals to our reason, and uses the word of God as its agent. In the Word, the Spirit has in former ages...

    The Glory

    All who are called may take the second step—SANCTIFICATION To sanctify is to set apart or separate to a special thing or use. God's will is that all justified ones should be sanctified or set apart to his service as we read: "This is the will of God even your (believers) sanctification." 1...

    The Glory

    The foregoing represents the “First Step” which is symbolized by passing beneath the “Entrance Curtain” into the Tabernacle courtyard. The entrance curtain or “gate” as it is likewise referred represents Christ Jesus our Lord. This was the only entrance, the only gateway in which to enter the...

    The Glory

    Justification, Sanctification, Redemption These are the three steps by which we are to reach "the prize of our high calling"--glory, honor and immortality. Not one of these steps can be omitted by those who win the great prize, nor can they be taken in any way but their order as directed in the...

    The Only Way, Part 8

    Once again we enter the courtyard through faith in Christ as represented in the entrance curtain, the first step. "We see, then that justification by faith, faith in Christ, our first step toward holiness, brings us into a condition of peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (Rom 5:1)...

    The Only Way, Part 7

    For the moment we should like to proceed on to individual’s 4 and 5 in our examination of the courtyard, and return to 2 and 3 a bit later as 4 and 5 represents those individuals who are making proper progress as antitypical Levites (justified believers) on their way toward the true purpose or...

    Hell . . . The Bad News.

    You state: I recall Jesus referring to the lake of fire as an everlasting punishment where there will be lots of crying and gnashing of teeth. But I also recall Jesus stating that hell was prepared specifically for Satan and his angel gang. So I've always had the view that if someone gets tossed...

    Hell . . . The Bad News.

    Is the wages of sin death or is it eternal torment as some professed Christians attest? I myself like many others come from a rather large family in which we all share various views on religion, personally I chose to take the Lord at his word on this matter that “the wages of sin is death” (Rom...
