Not that it's very significant, but I believe it's in relation to the universe, since it was created when man was created. My reference to man's significance concerns him being the most important to Himself, man being the sole entity that is after God.

Hi, and like your reply, though it is a bit different from my understanding. I believe Scripture means that man was the only creature after His image and likeness: "Man is the principal part of the creation, and for the sake of whom the world, and all things in it were made, and which being...

Hi, and appreciate y our reply and comments! Though God judges sinful people for unbelief, He still only has love for them. "God so loved the world" Jn 3:16; "God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved." Image is how something looks...

Wanted to inform everyone that in order to extend the use of the articles I share, I will be sending them biweekly, as the source is thinning a bit. I’ll occasionally be sending personal articles in the meantime. God's blessings to the Families, and God be blessed! One of a Kind God loves...

Ok, thanks and got ya; but not sure what you mean, because Mary's Son is the Lord Jesus. Appreciate your replies.

"Is in heaven."

Amen Davy! One of the various places the Lord Jesus' deity is diminished is Jhn 3:13: "And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but He that came down from heaven, even the Son of Man which is in heaven." This passage demonstrates the Lord Jesus' omnipresence, being in heaven while on earth. The...

Attainment versus Obtainment Apart from the privilege accorded proselytes of joining the congregation of Israel—which seemed to bear little fruitage, entrance into the right to share in the covenants of blessing designed for the earthly people (Israel—NC) was and is by physical birth. The...

Concerning the spirituality of Christianity, it’s always best to seek that which is the most important; and wisdom teaches one to regularly seek from God that which has the most spiritual growth at the present time. One can be sure that one of the most important of all issues at all times is...

Note to reader: I realize that there is not much shown or taught in the Bible concerning Israel's eschatology within the dispensational view, but I believe this view of what the Bible teachers, from whom I share these articles, believe concerning the saving of those Jews who believe in God but...

I believe one of the most important teachings of Scripture is the truth that Christians have no covenant with God, but are recipients of a covenant between the Father and the Son, which is the “Covenant of Redemption”; and its primary theme is Hebrews 13:20: “Now the God of peace, that brought...

The entire system known as Judaism, along with all its component parts, is, in the purpose of God, in total abeyance (suspension) throughout this present dispensation, but with definite assurance that the whole Jewish system thus interrupted will be completed by extension into the millennial...

Not to challenge your opinion, but God couldn't wish them not to sin when He knew they would (unless you mean something else). Moses wrote that all was good, and I'm not sure that means perfection, because Adam and Eve had the sin of pride before sinning: Eve saw that the tree was "to be desired...

It’s not like when Adam and Eve sinned God had to go to a plan B. Was it not part of His plan? Isn’t He omniscient and knew what they would do? How would they have ever known what good and evil is apart from experiencing the sin? It’s my belief that He wanted us to be like Him in knowing what...

It is continually encouraging to know (esp. the more we see the “old man” at work in us) that God knows our most important desire is to “please” Him, because there are often times when this can be difficult to express, but yet ever remains true to those reborn (Phl 2:13). It’s when we are...

While Martha was cumbered about much serving (Luk 10:40), and her love, most true in its way, went forth in actively providing for the Lord’s outward need, Mary unconsciously perhaps, proved her stronger faith and deeper love by sitting at His feet and drinking in His words. The thought of...

In a dispensation where God’s mind is completely revealed we often find there is much fervor lacking in the knowledge and joy of the Lord Jesus (2Pe 2:20), and spiritual fondness of it all is at low ebb! But there will always be those believers whom God uses to increase the interest and...

The Law directs to righteousness (Gal 3:24) but does not reveal it and does not work righteousness (Gal 3:10, 11). The only righteousness via the Law was from Christ, and only He could fulfill the Law, it requiring sinlessness! Only Christ could be justified by the Law, but man could not (v 11)...

Righteousness could not come from man by the Law, for it's purpose was only to show how righteousness comes only from Christ, who kept it perfectly with a holy and sinless nature. If we did not still possess the old man, we would have our own righteousness, but God wanted us to first have His...

But take the born again Christian—not when he is yielding to the old man (which all occasionally do—NC); take him where, in truth alone, so to speak, we can rightly think of a believer as such—in the exercise of his faith, in the manifestation of the new life which the grace of God has given...
