The general understanding about law is that it is to inform others where their wrong. Thus the principle of law doesn't help correct but just show where correction should be. It's faith and love in God and His Word (law or principle) that brings salvation, e.g. faith in His provision of...

That the will of God, where it is expressed in the Word of God, ought to govern every Christian, every true believer will admit. But the Word of God is wiser than men; never does it set the believer under the law since the death of Christ. It was a “schoolmaster” until the Cross (schoolmaster...

I like what you said. God makes sure that we are always guided according to His will, as He "works "in us (Phl 2:13). Thus, everything is used to teach us.

Sounds good, thank you God!

That's pretty good and thanks! Our problems need not to "trouble" us (Jn 14:1, 27), and can always be seen as just problems, which are stepping stones to what God desires to tech us through them.

True! It's when we are exercising and wielding our "shield of faith" (Eph 6:16) that we are being at our strongest!!

Yes, I see what you mean. My trials are on and off and I know it will be like this until we're out.

Fortunately it doesn't matter what happens to believers, it always work out for them! Thanks for the reply and comments, and God bless.

Does everything at times seem to go awry? You can be sure it’s just the “old man”! There’s nothing you know you did intentionally wrong but for some reason the bottom has dropped out, and for now your left feeling empty, with no desire for anything—even eating; and this uneasiness is something...

Hi, and appreciate the encouraging comment!

As a person, my Father conceived me in His heart of love back in the eternal counsels of the Trinity. “According as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love; having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to...

But all sins are always taken into account; there are no sins that are not already known by God that we will commit, and therefore it includes all our sins, not just some. He forgives us when we continue to confess and repent when we sin (1Jn 1:9), which answers to a continuous fellowship of...

Hi, and thanks for your reply! Yes, the more you lead the more you are accountable for; but a Christian shouldn't be worried about being a leader if one is called to it. I don't know what you mean by "circumvent." 1Jn 5:8-10 concerns one initially establishing salvation, which is done only once...

Once forgiven, always forgiven! This is the sense of "once for all" (Heb 10:10). God knows we will always want to please Him because He "works" this in us (Phl 2:13); it's a permanent condition.

Hi, and thanks for the reply! True, the Law could not "take away sins," but it did establish "forgiveness," which is the objective of all; and this was only for unintentional sin (Num 15:25; 30). The objective of Christ's Blood was to take away sins, which phrase meant only the guilt of sin and...

The goal of the Father for believers concerning sanctification is that they would have “no more conscience of sins” (Heb 10:2). Saints need not to contemplate their sins since they have been completely and permanently cleared of all the guilt of all their sins—“once for all” (Heb 10:10, 12, 14...

Appreciate your replies and comments! God bless!!

By "effortless" is meant that it's the work of Christ's sacrifice that establishes forgiveness, there is nothing we can do for our sin except trust Him for the expiation of our sin. Enduring trials, resisting the devil and many other things Christians do to show their love for God requires much...

Looks like we disagree about this issue! God bless!!
