    Jesus' grace saves and "works" are part of that Salvation

    Many in the Christian world have taken one verse in Ephesians and twisted it to suit their flesh. It's the Scripture that seems to suggest that Salvation requires no work, but that's not what the Scripture is trying to convey. Salvation does indeed require work, but not the works of the Law nor...

    Spirit's Work BEFORE Faith

    Here is a simple question: Do we need the work of the Holy Spirit in our hearts before we have faith? I would say yes, absolutely. This is where my belief comes from. There are a few questions that need looked at from Scriptures before we can make a Biblical determination: 1.) How bad is man...

    True or false?

    While we were out in town today we were approached by two Mormon missionaries. We told them we had been born-again Christians for a long time and my husband asked if they believed they would go to heaven. They told us that their place in heaven had to be earned through good works. What do you...

    How Do We Get "In The Spirit"?

    This was a great question asked by @Soverign Grace on another thread. Romans 8:9 "But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his." Simple truths, simply expressed. You are in the...

    Ageing

    I was thinking about ageing last night, how the ageing process affects every one of us. How it slows us down, how it weakens us and changes our physical bodies as we get older. But in comparison as we age spiritually we should become quicker to trust, stronger in our faith, growing in wisdom...

    The Triumphant Faith

    “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?”—1John 5:4-5 The above opening text tells us that whatsoever is born of God overcomes...

    The Secrets of Exceedingly Growing Faith

    In my last article, “Exceedingly Growing Faith” the meaning of exceedingly growing faith was thoroughly expounded. In that article, I did establish scripturally, that exceedingly growing faith is our patience and confidence amidst persecutions and tribulations of life… It is our tenacity and...

    Exceedingly Growing Faith

    “We are bound to thank God always for you brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth”—2Thessalonians 1:3 The word “exceedingly” is from the Greek word, ‘perissos’ meaning—Superabundant in quantity or...

    The Saving Faith

    “For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God” Ephesians 2:8 The major essence of God’s gift of righteousness or justification is eternal salvation. From scriptures, we understand that the major salvation of God through the Lord Jesus Christ is...

    ASCENDING TO A NEW FAITH REALM - Meditations

    John 8:36 - "If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed." Loose yourself from all entanglements, soul ties, dead works, wrong relationships, wrong mindsets. Break free from everything that hinders the work of His Spirit in your lives. No weights, no cords, no bindings, no...

    DAILY MEDITATIONS AND AFFIRMATIONS - 107

    Hebrews 11:1 - "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." The verse does not say that faith is the evidence of things that do not exist. God says what He has promised is already a reality. Yet it won't become a manifested reality in my life until I...

    "Enoch walked with God until He was not for God took him." - Genesis 5:24 Just as Enoch walked with God and was being raptured into secret places of intimacy until he disappeared, we must walk in intimacy and discipleship with Jesus until we disappear and all that can be seen is Him in us. Paul...

    Luke 9:38-40 - "A man shouted from the crowd. 'Teacher! Look, I beg you, at my son - my only son! A spirit attacks him with a sudden shout and throws him into a fit, so that he foams at the mouth; it keeps on hurting him and will hardly let him go! I begged your disciples to drive it out, but...

    Overcoming Doubt?

    Do we allow some of our modes of reasoning to suppress faith from our lives? Why not ask God to help us find ways of countering doubts about the faithfulness of His promises? You may consult this article in its original context: Overcoming Doubt? at Savoir et croire .ca (Knowing and Believing)...

    DAILY MEDITATIONS AND AFFIRMATIONS - 94

    2 Corinthians 5:7 - "For we walk by faith, not by sight." "Sense knowledge" is the attitude that says, "if I cannot see it, then it is not real. I'll believe it when I see it." This means that faith and sense knowledge are not compatible. Faith is the substance and evidence of things that your...

    Luke 17:5 - "The apostles said to the Lord, Increase our faith." When you are praying for faith you are praying to believe. Either you believe or you don't believe. Such a prayer is really based on unbelief, and therefore it will not be answered. Faith comes and increases as we hear and believe...

    MORE THAN WE ASK OR THINK

    Ephesians 3:20 - "To Him who is able to do so much more than we can ever ask for, or even think, by means of the power working in us." Often, when our plans for a promise (given to us in scripture) don't come to pass, we think the promise has failed, too. Not so! We are merely being set up by...

    CREATING WITH GOD

    Hebrews 11:1 - "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen." That word "evidence" means an outward sign or indication. Faith is something that furnishes proof. Faith is no longer going to be an obscure or intangible concept that a Believer's hope will...

    UNCOMMON COURAGE

    In Luke 13, "Jesus saw a crippled woman who had been bent over for 18 years; He called her to Himself and healed her. The ruler of the synagogue was indignant, not because He healed her but because He healed on the Sabbath. Jesus replied, 'Hypocrite! Does not each one of you on the Sabbath loose...
