righteousness

Hi there, I Corinthians 9:22 "To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some." This agrees with the idea that Jesus was made sin, that we might become the righteousness of God (2 Corinthians 5:21). When we see...

From the discussions on another's thread: The word indicates that a wicked person's name is "blotted out" (Ex. 32:33; Deut. 25:19; 29:20; Ps. 69:28) of the Book of Life and therefore it is a record of everyone who ever lived, and expresses that those who love the darkness and do not love the...

Hi there, So after being on drugs and nearly losing my mind, I came back like the prodigal son. In the process, I noticed something about the Devil, that you can't usually tell: I realised that the Devil wasn't ready to let me go, because in his heart, he thought himself to be special. The...

Hi there, So there is a lot of mystery surrounding the anti-Christ - who is he, where will he come from, who can war against him - but in reality, it just boils down to one thing: the anti-Christ is a good friend. I'm not saying his behaviour is welcome, all the time. I'm just saying, he is...

Hi there, So, after a lengthy battle in the spirit, to overcome the nonsense of the world, I have come to the faith again and perceive a strength that we should be developing as a body: theological strength. Theological strength, is the idea that you not only have the testimony of Christ, you...

Hi there, So this is something really easy and strengthening to focus, in your walk with Christ: the time will come when your previous desire to sin (hate, lie, distrust for example), clashes with your (Christian) desire to die on your Cross. As Jesus said "Father not my will but Yours be...

You're a new believer. What now? Once a believer accepts Jesus Christ into their heart, he/she is forgiven by God and the blood of Jesus washes all sin away; the person now has a clean slate. It's God's gift to humanity. The works of the Old Testament (Law) and/or philanthropy cannot save you...

Hi there, So I can make this fairly simple: there is a reality to what Jesus said, when He said "he who believes in Me, shall go in and come out and find pasture" (John 10:9). It is different for almost everyone. For me, I find "reason" to go in, a "rule" to go out and an idea of "pasture". The...

Hi there, So the Bible says that in future, people will be lovers of themselves. The thing is that, at the moment, people in the World are struggling to be selfish, let alone lovers (of themselves). It's a great opportunity for Witness, that we pray that they learn to be complete, part of which...

Hi there, So I have sort of turned inside out, pursuing faith. I was vexed for a long time, about my sin and how to overcome it. At times I would feel fine, then at others I would be vexed; then I would feel like "I have to do something about this 'feeling'!". Eventually, thinking about the Law...

Hi there, So in addition to what I call the Silver Line that as a rule "partially right, most of the time" is moral, the Diamond Point, is that assuming "Others are right, for their own reasons" is a blessed moral stance. The effectiveness of it, comes down to interpreting good and bad, from...

Hi there! So I have been growing in faith, as I continue to commit to the good life, for God's sake and I have learnt to interpret the work of the Holy Spirit as strength, understanding and meaning (all of which I want to share). The lessons I have learned are very important, because they add...

When the sperm fertiliezes the egg, gestation begins. Nine months later labour begins to expel that which was formed in gestation. Genesis 2 :7 ( cxt 5-8 ) And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and MAN BECAME A LIVING SOUL...

...to The Most Valuable Treasure? " “Being justified freely by His Grace through The Redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in His Blood, to declare His Righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of...

There appears to be some confusion as to what actually constitutes salvation, how it is procured, and how, even whether, it needs to be retained. There are threads all over the place discussing various aspects of the gospel from go to woe (perhaps an unfortunate pun) but what prompted this...

"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast." Eph. 3:8-9 I was taught that Grace was God's "unmerited favor" towards mankind. But it is much more than that! Grace is the core theme of the New...

3 minute short of how one is made right with God.

Ephesians 6 (KJV) ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ¹⁰ Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. ¹¹ Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. ¹² For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers...

KJV Matthew 6:33 33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. In the sermon on the mount Christ exhorts His listeners to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. So what is the righteousness of God, and why is it so...

You Do Not Work For Heavenly Presents The Bible says, that we have the gift of righteousness, given to us by God, because of what Jesus Christ has done for us. It is called the gift of righteousness, and not the wage of righteousness. Let me ask you a question. In your life, how many times...
