It is good to realize that once we are abiding in Christ and He in us, we must take our place and be fitted into the Body. Jesus Christ walks in our midst when we are committed to one another as well as to Him. This second step completes the potential for a full attainment in Christ. Otherwise...

I am attempting to show a scriptural logic here. If on the one hand we maintain that perfect love casts out all fear....due to the fulness of Christ in us, then why wouldn't His grace cast out all sin? As long as we are going on the biblical superlatives...We can do ALL things (commanded us by...

I actually got the ideas from the scripture! :) For example... We are now dead to sin who are in Christ Rom 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? Rom 6:2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? And yet we endure...

It is important to note that a Christian will never be not tempted at times. Jesus Himself was tempted. But with the temptation comes the means of escape. So we overcome temptations by faith. The temptations themselves are not sin. By faith we cast out the temptations. We overcome them. Same as...

Jesus doesn't take us out of the world...He equips us to overcome it. As we learn to trust in God and have faith...we will turn to God in every situation. The battle is the Lord's not ours! :)

The major point is being lost here. If a person is filled with the love of Christ...there is no room for sin. Love acts. And this love abolishes or puts to flight that which is evil. It casts it out....but first it is recognized for what it truly is. Otherwise love casts out discernment.

Maybe you could clarify your meaning? We as Christians are called to overcome the world. This doesn't mean that we eliminate the world...only we are not affected by what is here. Do we still perceive what is in the world? Of course. We don't become blind to the world so as not to be affected by...

Here is a question... Is the requirement of the law fulfilled in Christ...or in us?

Perfect love casts out fear meaning that our love overcomes the fear in us. A brave man still fears...but his bravery is stronger than his fear. A child cries when hurt. An adult still feels the pain, but doesn't cry because his ability to endure is stronger than the pain.

We abide in the perfect one Jesus Christ. Of ourselves we can do nothing. As Jesus said to abide in Him as of ourselves we can do nothing. So we don't just give up and live like other men while seeming to proclaim the gospel. No, rather seek to have men abide in Christ who becomes our...

Great! How do we get started?

Christianity is not just what God has done FOR man, but what God is DOING IN man.

Does this mean you agree with the difference between faith and certainty?

To equate fruit with numbers is to fall into the temporal understanding of growth through numbers. Rather we grow through love and the depth of love. That is the fruit. Otherwise Islam is bearing more fruit than Christianity.

All religions recruit more people to their "plan". But how many religions transform people into a new creation in Christ? So rather than a new religion with more promises of a future happiness, the truth in Christ is a transformed life through the power of the Spirit. Paul preached a gospel in...

Greetings to all! How much potential do we have as new creations in Christ to do exploits for God? How many potential Paul's and Peter's are there among us? Jesus said... "Verily, verily I say unto you, except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: But if it die it...

The is a great difference between biblical faith and certainty. If we are convinced of something, does that make it true? If faith was based on being absolutely convinced...then a man who was hypnotized to believe he could walk on water would then be able to do so. Certainty is akin to a...

And how is that applied to people? The answer is by faith of course...bit what does that entail?

The dying daily is the maintenance requirement of staying in the will of God. We are not saved in order to be saved. We are saved in order to walk in the will of God. We are empowered to THAT end and take on the sufferings of Christ in a world that seeks to destroy the work of the kingdom. So as...
