Gal_2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. Gal_6:14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord...

I agree Rob, God is going to save only those who actively seek to draw close to Him, based on their capabilities of course, those who obey Him and seek His friendship.

God makes it easy for us Matt, He offers life or death, and we have the free will to choose. Any sane person would instantly say, I choose life, however the Bible seems to indicate that the vast majority do not, why? I think a great deal is selfishness, an unwillingness to give and obey. You and...

Many people do feel that way Rob, or I guess I should say, want it to be that way. True Christians want to obey God, out of love, so they really aren't looking for a way to justify sin, rather they are looking for ways out to avoid doing it. We are forgiven and redeemed for our sin if we are...

I gather it means to do your utmost not to sin. The Bible assures us that Jehovah will make the way out for us, and not let us be tempted beyond what we can bear. It isn't easy, but I am sure that most of us would admit that we do not have to commit serious sins, especially after we have done...

I never really thought about sins in that way before Ber. I have always considered sin to be in 2 categories, serious, and not so serious. Kinda like lying, lying is lying as sin is sin, but some call a particular kind of lie a little white lie. Some sins listed in the Bible that will keep...

Hi Joe, looks like you play the guitar, I tried but gave up, I love music and this line you posted looks like it would make a good lyric: Our Lord Himself declared that the new birth is a thing of mystery: "The wind blows where it wills, and you hear the sound thereof, but can not tell whence...

Inherited sin sir.

May I ask you point blank Osa, who is that wise God, is He named in the Bible sir?

Very good Lambo, in fact sir that was the very verse I was looking for but couldn't find it, thanks for bringing it up.

You are correct Mary, they are appointed to shepherd the flock in their care. Make no mistake however, throughout our history there has been many led astray from false shepherds, no doubt you have heard of Korah and what happened to those of us who sided with him. Imagine where the faith would...

Well thank you Joe, that is very kind of you to say so, I truly appreciate it and I am holding back my fingers from calling you sir.

Chào Jenny, chào mừng đến với diễn đàn maam. Heb 11:6 cho chúng ta biết điểm trống rằng nếu không có đức tin thì không thể làm hài lòng Đức Chúa Trời. Ngài đã đề cập đến hai ví dụ tuyệt vời về đức tin, trong đó cả hai đều có đặc quyền là tổ tiên của Chúa Giêsu. Mary thực sự là mẹ của nó. Sau...

When studying to learn meanings of verses a Strong's concordance, and a cross reference Bible are essential tools Vicky. Having access to multiple versions assists greatly as well. Surrounding verses gives the context, so in this account doing so might be confusing, and one might discern it was...

Thanks for clarifying that Jay. I thought you were referring to James 4:8 which of course is related. God does draw many, based on their heart condition. The process for everlasting life is outlined for us in the Bible to read for ourselves. It is important to take the Bible as a whole however...

Thanks Osa, Jesus was the perfect example of humility and submission in the service of his God for sure, our example to follow 1 Pet 2:21. One thing to make perfectly clear however like Philippians brings out, equality with God is not something to be grasped. Jesus openly stated that God was...

Yes Ron, I hope I can approach death as did Forest's mother and be as graceful. The Bible teaches that the day of one's death is better than the day of their birth Ecc 7:1 and I certainly believe that is true. At this time if one is born again, they will be instantly resurrected to heaven upon...

Thanks very much Barn, you brought tears to my eyes sir with your kind apology. I guess you must not have been too hard on me as I honestly didn't remember where you treated me badly. You are certainly forgiven sir, and kudos for your humility and kindness in approaching me. I salute you for...

For as long as Jehovah exists Soul, time is a guarantee.
