Hi @Naomi25 How are you and yours doing? here we press on, by God's grace; some interesting threads...

@Wynona Interesting that Paul at the beginning and at the end of Romans refers to 'obedience to the faith' and 'the obedience of faith'. (Of course, it's certainly 'not of works'.)

@VictoryinJesus A practical spirit of forgiveness is indeed precious among brethren.

Hi @Emily Write, good to see you. Hope you will be blessed by the Word on this site.

'For' the remission of sins, there, means 'for the sake of' rather than 'in order to try to receive' the remission of sins.

It would seem that the context of Matthew 24 would be after the church has gone.

Of course, Acts 2.41 shows that it's not baptism that makes the person become a believer, but 'they that gladly received his word were baptised': they gladly received it because they believed, and so they were baptised.

@Ziggy Great quotes the about light; and John's First Epistle has some also... :)

@Mayflower (Thought I'd reply here to keep on topic...) It's a lion, right? certainly a theme that if the person is motivated to use, with the inking up, that preaches well, with its presence in Scripture. As Acolyte said: ↑ (Which, again, you would probably agree with.)

We were just talking about this Psalm on the other thread... twitychristine dot blogspot dot com

@Nancy Good ref.s there! :)

What a great text from Isaiah! :)

Great quotes there from Romans 11 and Acts 1. :)

@Mayflower PS: You would probably agree with @soul man's comment quoted in post #584 (last but one, above), right?

Psalm 121 shows that though in human terms we may be alone, yet if the Lord is with us, preserving us, then this is what really counts. Fellowship is important, of course, (John's First Epistle, chapter 1).

@Mayflower The depths of Isaiah 53 never cease to amaze and humble and strengthen; and it ties in exactly with New Testament truth.

@Mayflower What you say reminds me of Ephesians 6.10: "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might."

In the end it's really all about resting in His finished work for believers, (Hebrews ch.s 9 & 10).

@Mayflower Thanks for the 'like'; yes, I thought the words came across strongly.
