Heart2soul gave me the inspiration for this short teaching. Thank you. Why do Christians fail to live a perfected discipleship? Its because they are trying to do it, you are trying to do it, in your own willpower. You are trying to stop sinning. You are trying to stop failing. You are trying to...

Legalism. As found in Christianity, in the "time of the Gentiles".... is when a person has substituted anything for the BLood of Jesus, = their SELF Effort, to do for themselves, only what The Blood Of Jesus Can Do. This can be a very refined and clever self deception. = Where a person finds a...

Saint, its the Goodness of God's Grace, that if we learn to rest in it, then we can be free from our carnality, and it not take us 89 yrs. See, you will still never arrive to "the fullness of the stature of Christ" that Paul teaches is to be "perfected", if you try to do it by struggling and...

- Did you ever wonder why God gave the LAW first, and much later Jesus was given as God's Grace? Its because the Law is necessary to be in place to REVEAL us, as we are, in relation to God. This is the actual purpose of the Law, the specific purpose. The general purpose of the law and...

What does it mean for you to be saved, is the same thing as born again. It means : 1.) God is always at peace with you, based not on you......but only based on the Blood of Jesus. 2.) God has taken you...redeemed you as His own, and will keep you always, based not on you, but only on the...

- Salvation is more then just eternal life and being made righteous. Its also, protection and shelter from God's wrath. "the day of wrath". Let me show you..... Paul wrote this. ""for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him...

- """""But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter."""" If you are born again, then you are "delivered from the Law".... And why? Because the law is a curse to you, and Christ came...

- What is the difference between a Christian, and an unbeliever? There are a few. You are going to heaven, and they are not. You are born again, and they are not. They have their sin, and Christ has all yours. When you are working out your salvation, you are learning how to exist within it...

Saint..... what is the confusion most believers have about this "sinning and confessing" situation? Its simply that they do not realize or do not believe that Jesus became their sin, and bore it all. A.) ALL Here is what the average Pulpit Heretic teaches today. "Jesus saved you, and all your...

If you are born again..... (not water baptized only) but BORN AGAIN.... Then there came a moment in your life when you reached out to Jesus with your heart, and God accepted your faith (Justification by Faith) = to give you "the gift of righteousness". This Gift is God's mercy, and God's mercy...

Let me show you why what most Christians believe is not scriptural or spiritual. Its like this. Most believers define themselves as "the man" or as a "saved sinner" and that would be your body and your flesh, only. The "flesh" is your mind and emotions, and will. Mot believers believe this is...

- I wrote this for a member, today, and though that it might be of use to you. - - And why does God not charge any born again person with their carnal deeds? (works of the flesh).. Romans 4:8 says that God does not charge you with your misbehavior, or your carnality, or what we think of as sin...
