Why do you want more grace?

No cause for concern with me, HisLife. Not everyone is GIVEN the same measure of faith and none of us should strive to use gifts that God's grace hasn't GIVEN. Sadly some do. Rom 12:6-8 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let...

I hope this verse does not come as a surprise to you, @HisLife Ever wonder why you can't function in a particular ministry or role? Here's why: Rom 12:3 For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to...

A seed was sown, and obviously was nurtured and cultivated to become fruitful. Mar 4:13-14 And He said to them, "Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables? (14) The sower sows the word.

My salvation journey began with the sin of Adam & Eve in the Garden of Eden. Until then no-one needed salvation, were not sons of disobedience, and were not by nature children of wrath. Rom 5:12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death...

Einstein said the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results. Human love is not to be trusted. Look higher. Jer 17:5-10 Thus says the LORD: "Cursed is the man who trusts in man And makes flesh his strength, Whose heart departs from the LORD. (6)...

BEHOLD THE HUMANITY OF CHRIST Eph 2:1 And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, Eph 5:2 And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma. Eph 5:14 Therefore He says: "Awake, you who...

Salvation is available to everyone, but everyone is not available to salvation. Some say that reprobates forfeit their salvation, others that it was never on offer to them. Hullo.

It's not the new man in Christ that sins, it's the old man of the flesh. Paul speaks to this on a number of occasions: 1Co 6:1-11 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? (2) Do you not know that the saints will judge the...

Only someone naive would think a converted Christian is incapable of sinning. A heretic came preaching sinless perfection in a fellowship I was once in and when a member challenged him he got angry and threw a punch at him. He also used profanity when I made a comment he didn't like. Numerous...

Good article: Why Is the Blood of Jesus so Powerful? - Topical Studies (biblestudytools.com)

Funny. Scriptural evidence that the redeemed are still capable of sin is plentiful. Heb 12:1-2 Therefore let’s also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let’s run with perseverance the race that is set...

Your opinion is noted. I believe there is power in the Blood of Jesus to overcome sinful desires. Hebrews Chapter 10 19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that...

Head in sand.

Saints. They do sin sometimes. Quite badly, but then repent.

That you are wrong.

Again, not unless you allow it to. Heb 10:28-29 A man who disregards Moses’ law dies without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses. (29) How much worse punishment do you think he will be judged worthy of who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the...

Faith without works is dead. Works without faith are dead. Faith and works accompany salvation.

1Ti 5:19-20 Do not receive an accusation against an elder except from two or three witnesses. (20) Those who are sinning rebuke in the presence of all, that the rest also may fear. Gal 2:11-14 Now when Peter had come to Antioch, I withstood him to his face, because he was to be blamed...

Yes, very well put. Knowing what we are redeemed with should be incentive to walk in paths of righteousness. Thanks for furthering this discussion. 1Pe 1:17-19 And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one's work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of...
