There is nothing greater than for one being used by the Father in all that He has him to do! His care for us causes us to “desire and do His good pleasure” (Phl 2:13), which keeps us from ever again desiring the way of sin and condemnation. He knows what the exact amount of difficulty we can...

We should realize that God is not going to allow His people (believers in God - Jn 14:1) to perish after 5 millennia of working with them. We would have to disregard His people and what Scripture testifies of them; the Bible being 90% Jewish!

Jesus' witness was to Israel, but His salvation has always been also to the Gentiles. I believe the "Israel of God" (Gal 6:16) and the remnant of Israel (Rom 9:27) are the Jewish Christians. The majority of Israel will not believe in Christ, thus they will continue as the "people of God" (the...

One important thing that I think helps to understand is, that believing Israel (faith in God but not Jesus - Jhn 14:1) has been forgiven by God applying Jesus' Blood to their sins in the sin sacrifices (Act 2:25; Rom 3:25; Heb 9:15-22; Also Col 2:17; Heb 8:5; 10:1). But since they do not believe...

Hi, and appreciates your reply. It's my understanding that the Church is not considered as Gentiles and Jews (remnant of Israel), but Christians. This is the Covenant we are referring to between the Father and the Son. The majority of the Jews will not believe in Christ until they see Him, hence...

Hi, and thanks for your reply! The New Covenant is not yet made with Israel (Jer 31:31), and don't forget this covenant will be made with man; the present and eternal Covenant of the Christian is not made with man!

Is the Covenant of Redemption a thing! Yes, and God is a bit mysterious concerning this one, for it is the one that is for those, whom, created after His image, are also after His “good pleasure” (Phl 2:13). These are they who are more precious to God than the angels; for man is the sole being...

It has been well said that “the lost need saved, and the saved need delivered;” that is, from our trials! Also that, “the Blood procures pardon from sin; and the Cross procures power over sin.” The power over sin involves the restraint of “the old man” by remaining “crucified” (“is crucified”...

I like what you said and thanks for the reply and comments! The Father sent the Son to bring us to Himself; and His Holy Spirit is the Creator of our new birth, unifying us to Them!

The purpose of New Testament is to identify the Lord Jesus as the Son of God (because that’s His primary administration for salvation). Though the Three are equal in Deity, power and essence, They are in an order of authority (Father, Son, Spirit - Jhn 10:29; 14:28; 1Co 11:3; 15:24); as the One...

Note: This prologue is a theoretical hypotheses of Israel’s eschatology, and is what I think (and all the Plymouth Brethren) is probably truth; and let us be aware that regardless of what may be considered, it is not essential doctrine, same for any growth truth that has no effect on one’s...

Believers are ever in fellowship with God via “desiring and doing His good pleasure” (Phl 2:13). They are saved by His grace, and manifest their love to Him by their obedience. The place where God has them is in a constant and unbroken state of holiness and acceptability in His Son, the Lord...

Doubtless the Church is to reign over the earth, the bright witness of the Father’s love; for the world shall then know that He loves her as He loves His Son, both being displayed in the same glory (Jhn 17:22). How blessed the ministry of the Church in that day serving the gladsome earth...

If we are saved there is no failure--only continued learning from the "conforming" (Heb 12:6). We often fail is service, but it's the attempts to service that counts!

Amen, no man, and that includes self because if your truly reborn God insures you will "desire and do His good pleasure" (Phl 2:13). If He is not "working in you," your not saved yet.

Just as from Adam the First, sin, condemnation and death came to all his race, so there comes, to those who trust the Last Adam, justification, righteousness and eternal life. What Adam did was reckoned to his posterity; so what our Lord Jesus did is reckoned to those who are in Him. What...

True and Amen! Thanks for the comment, and God's blessings to your Family!

Some say water baptism, others, that man must be born first (water and embryotic fluid) before he can be born again. Still, some say the "water" is the same as the Spirit, e.g. "Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols...

Through faith in Christ's expiation for our sins!

Hi, and those are all good applicable passages, as only those who are truly reborn will continue; for hypocrites and apostates will not remain in their false profession of the Lord Jesus.
