The power that works in us IS the grace that saves us. It is undeserved but it works in us...and it is not an it but a He...It is Christ in us. It is Christ that saves us. We are saved as we remain in Him.

What the law was unable to do...because of the weakness of the flesh...the grace of God accomplishes through the strength of God. It is by grace that we are kept from doing what we used to do. It is by grace that we are born anew. It is by grace that our flesh life is crucified with Christ so we...

Well we see that God judges impartially. I think too many Christians are brainwashed into believing that God is Christian in a denominational sense. He makes no distinction between a Christian or a non-Christian according to their person. He does give grace to the humble though. A Christian is...

Greetings Notice what is stated here... Joh 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Joh 1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. Joh 1:14 And the...

Grace is the power of God towards us. It is HIS strength in our weak vessels.

Before a man sins in the flesh he has already sinned in his mind. A spiritual law goes further than a behaviour law. Jesus said if we contemplate a deed against our brother...we have already done it before God. A moral law is about keeping the outward show under control...like the Pharisees...

I thought modern evangelicals were assimilated into the "kill kill" mentality so prevalent among neo-cons!

That would be great! Jesus did not come to reform the ways of men...He came to bring us a new creation.

Spiritual maturity is that which maintains spiritual purity in a fallen world.

The law is spiritual not moral. Christianity is not a religion of morality. It is not man-centered but God centered.

Walking by faith does not include looking at calendars. But walking by sight does.

It is good to quote Gandhi when discussing Indian independence! ;)

When a Christian is outside of God's presence he can still walk by faith knowing that the light is there even if he doesn't experience the light directly. God will take away the feeling of His presence from us to test our faith. We tend to sin because we usually lack the faith to act AS IF we...

Men are mortal...but God is not just "immortal" but of a wholly other nature. When we are born from above we receive this new divine nature which is "eternal". So eternal is not just a perpetual life in a baser nature. It is the continuing nature of God which also is unending. So for us who are...

Muslims have this religion called Islam...they also follow calendars and clocks in their religious rituals. Christianity does not do this. It is involved in eternal things...in the Spirit. In God...it is timeless..no time.

Sin has a lot to do with location. When we are outside of God's presence we tend to sin because of weakness. When a person does not know the Lord, they tend to sin continually...due to their ignorance of any other location than being where they presently are. We know that when we are in Christ...

1Jn 5:20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. 1Jn 5:21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.

Yes! Joh 1:9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. Joh 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. Joh 1:11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. Joh 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave...

Our first error is that we underestimate what God can do. Once we do that we invariably then underestimate what the devil can do.

While the bible does not refer specifically to an old sin nature...it does give plenty of allusion to it... Rom_6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. Col_3:9 Lie not one to another, seeing...
