Being where He is in Zion. Seeing what He sees, doing what He does, loving as He loves, walking as He walked...no longer I but Christ. Walking in the light is a supernatural walk in a spiritual and eternal resurrection life...we have this treasure in earthen vessels. Being covered PERSONALLY by...

You are right. Being born again puts Christ in us...but I was comparing being in Christ and abiding in Christ. We are covered by Christ corporately when we are in His Body. I could have said "in Christ's Body"...but I was using Jesus' terminology in John 15. We can also be spit out of His...

You're speaking of Old Testament grace. As in..."if I have found favour in Your sight" based on human righteousness and the free mercy of God. But NT grace is the power of God to fulfill the "letter of the law" at the highest level according to God's holiness. We fail the grace of God by...

Most of us will fail the grace of God. (I know that so many have been taught that grace is the same as mercy...but I'm speaking of the NT grace...the grace of Jesus Christ) To whom much is given more is required. So then Jesus is helping the majority of us..."when we fail" the standard of the...

Greetings, I think there is a lot of confusion about being IN Christ and abiding IN Christ. Being in Christ is by association...being part of a household. And abiding in Christ is by a direct union with God. Paul says.. "For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the...

You are confusing conversion with an encounter with the living God. A common mistake among those who have been indoctrinated into a religion. The story of Ebenezer Scrooge (A Christmas Carol) illustrates a repentance from evil into doing what is right and good. Scrooge was converted to...

This is a great response my friend. :) I hope that others here on the forum will see how important a humble stance is before God if not before our fellow brethren in Christ.

I do. Jesus is the first-born of the New Creation. He had to make a way for us to become part of that New Creation. None of us was worthy to open a gap in the law of sin and death. I'm neither a Trinitarian nor a Unitarian...nor one who denies that Jesus is part of the GodHead (Humanitarian)...

"You believe that there is one God; you do well: the devils also believe, and tremble." James 2:19

The lesson is...if you can't walk among the holy then make friends among the righteous. And your version is downplaying the lord's commendation of the unjust steward. He calls him wise. But most believers are not so wise. Most are taught that they will inherit glory and as such do not make...

We can be faithful to God without walking on the level of the Spirit in Zion. We can pray and meditate on His words while remaining humble and thankful in all things. We can be quick to forgive and ready to help others. We can learn to be patient and have self-control when we learn how weak we...

Righteous is as righteous does.

Doctrines of men aside...the Bible is pointing to a different kind of life than what humans can walk in in their own strength. Resurrection life is a gift of God and is given to those who have the faith OF Christ. The first step in entering into that kind of faith is to allow our own faith to...

This issue of walking in the Spirit reveals a crisis of faith in today's church. We can see the fault lines in 2 ways. 1. There is an outright denial of the resurrection walk by MANY believers these days. It is a crisis of faith whereby people feel comfortable to maintain unbelief in spite of...

We can't maintain a spiritual walk unless we have been translated miraculously into that level of walk. We can maintain a righteous walk since that is in our power to do. We can be humble and honest...and this is required of us. We will be judged by what we have done with what we have been...

I think YHVH is efficient seeing that it is the Father's name AND the Son's name. Jesus came to us in His Father's name.

Do the glasses you read with add in the word God into the text? I asked you to supply a verse that says that God's righteousness is imputed to anyone other than God Himself. You don't seem to understand righteousness. God will indeed impute righteousness...on those who He deems are...

First there is no sanctification away from the presence and power of God by grace. Over time most believers cool off...lose their first love, become complacent, grow slack, take things for granted. No one that ever lived can attest to growing more holy given time. Ask any believer over 80...

Sanctification means holiness....as pure as God is pure. Since very few will ever enter into the kingdom walk in holiness men have invented a doctrine that states that after a LONG time (actually never) people can grow more holy. There is a fundamental mix up between holiness or PURITY...and...

Where do you see progressive? When you enter into Christ you get instant sanctification. If you are interested in holiness...seek the Lord.
