I'll try saying it this way...Just as there are two steps of grace...so Christ is to abide in us AND we are to abide in Him. His divine nature is within us at regeneration...but not His perfect walk..as Paul attests to in Romans 7. Without abiding in Christ we don't have the victory over the...

Resurrection life.

I appreciate your thoughts and presence here!

The faith OF Christ was worked out in Jesus' humanity as He walked in this Earthly place. It is available to us as we enter into Him. We put on His victorious humanity when we put on Christ.

="tigger 2, post: 430324, member: 7653"]Prov. 15:2 (post 2) should be, I believe, 25:2. You are right...typo on my part...thank you Psalm 22:2 (post 3) should be, I believe, Psalm 22:1. Again correct ( I was trusting my memory...which I shouldn't when it comes to exact verses...) The...

This is what Jesus did... Anybody can quote from one verse...but Jesus combined 2 verses together to get a new meaning. So you must add the Gen. 22:13 Then Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw behind him a ram in the thicket, caught by its horns. So he went and took the ram and offered it as a...

Welcome here faithfulness. :) When a ship is caught on a sandbar it needs a tow to get free of it and be towed into open water. The ship that is stuck casts a rope, which is quite small (insufficient to pull the ship but easy to cast) to the tugboat, in order for a big towing line to be then be...

Including a concordance or interlinear to get at the obscure word structures that aren't always clear.

Hab.2:4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith. וצדיק באמונתו יחיה Whose faith? A man's own faith? Does a righteous man live by his own inherent...

Here is one that surprisingly few believers know. It brings 2 prophetic verses into one statement by Jesus as He hung on the cross. That statement is...אלי אלי למה סבכתני or in English transliteration "Eli Eli lama sabachthani" (Mat. 27:46) Eli Eli Lama sabachthani? refers to the opening words...

Ok, here is one that kind of sets up all the rest..and shows that God is encouraging us to dig deeper into His word because He has hidden many treasures therein. It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, But the glory of kings is to search out a matter. Prov. 25:2 The word "matter" used...

Have you ever read a verse in the bible and saw new meaning in it as if you were reading it for the first time? Even though you had read it many times before? There are layers of meaning in the bible....especially in the OT....since the gospel was truly hidden at that time. But not so hidden...

We can only discern God by entering into a greater love. So also the greater the truth the more love we need to have from within to communicate it. It is about entering into a hidden place in the Spirit where God resides. Then our life is hid with God in a place where we need to discover more...

Amen Willie T. The truth is difficult enough even when love is present. It becomes intolerable when wielded as if the speaking of truth is more important than the person we are trying to reach. The truth is everlasting...but we humans only have a limited amount of time to get into the truth...

Greetings to all, We are to be stewards of a great mystery. The mystery of God's grace towards men. Many will say that this isn't such a mystery but this is to miss the depth of the truth and the power it has over our lives. So often we use the word bluntly as if we are playing with plastic...

Then there is the other kind of person that allows the cares of this world to interfere with a full consecration to God. Such are they who allow the weeds to overtake the wheat within themselves...so that they BECOME unfruitful. So then having started off well enough...they then shrink back due...

Yes...but as long as we aren't ever using this to defend ourselves or justify ourselves. We are to not notice the good we do...but be hard on ourselves. So then it is wise to be hard on ourselves but easy on others. Rather than what we see so much...they that go easy on themselves but hard on...

First, all communication with others should be in love...for another's benefit, not our own. It takes discernment to see what is helpful and what is harmful. It is crucial to be able to exhort others...and even correct others but in a way that is not a personal attack. It must bring life not...

The true pronunciation of God and Jesus... L O V E.

It seems men have no limits when it comes to self-delusion. It's very religious to think we are far more pleasing to God than we actually are....unless we are, of course. But can't the brethren help us to see our true state?
