With the OT saint, God gave physical proof of His existence by the way of miracles in order that He could eliminate any doubt of His reality. Then His love for others could be seen, that they might seek Him and trust in Him, for they “required a sign” (1Co 1:22 – though a lessor faith yet His...
I can say “My fellowship is with the Father and the Son” (1Jo 1:3). Fellowship is not a future thing, but a thing we have possession of while in these earthen vessels. It is up on the throne with the Lord Jesus that we have it. What a position and privilege! The Lord Jesus in heaven in perfect...
Always like the way you comment in a direct manner and applicability of the issue at hand! The Gospel will always be senseless to one who will always be unregenerate (1Co 2:14). Concerning choice, I believe it's the accountable element supporting God's right to condemn, e.g. Adam and the Tree...
Understand your point and well put, but my point is that we can only receive not produce or retain. God gives us salvation only to keep us in it (1Th 5:24; 1Ti 6:12; 2Ti 1:12, 4:18; 1Pe 1:5; Jde 1:24). Who He saves He keeps!
To me it isn't sensible to conceive (not suspecting any individual who...
Appreciate the reply and like how you clearly present your comments! It's my understanding that since "brother" can be in reference to the natural or spiritual usage depending on the context (Strong's Greek G80, adlephos G80 - adelphos - Strong's Greek Lexicon (kjv)). This passage is not...
One can be thankful that there are multitudes who believe that the Blood of the Savior is before the eye of God; it is a good beginning, but it’s not all. It is an immense gain to believe that because of the Blood, “the Jude of all the earth” passes by (Gen 18:25; Exo 12:13). A familiar phrase...
Myself, I see Scripture intending the profession of one's belief (1Ti 6:12), which may be genuine or eventually discover not genuine, and this is where most of the confusion lies. We start with our profession and if it's genuine it will never stop, thus when one stops confessing faith, that is...
There is only one strain of salvation--"Eternal salvation" (Heb 5:9), which is an "everlasting consolation" (2Th 2:16) and an "eternal glory" (2Ti 2:10). If it's not permanent it's not salvation, for the crux of salvation designs the intention of being in permanent and unbroken fellowship with...
Though the old man’s ways beset, yet only for a time
Till the saint sees it clear, to lay them all behind
The skies now cloud-cleared, and as oft as thou would
No troubles or disappointments, but walking as thou should
Now standing through assails, encouraged with all might
Ever seeing Jesus...
In the days of Moses and the Law, many among Israel were fearful of a relationship with God, they knew He expected them to live a godly lifestyle by their own power according to His holiness (Lev 11:44; 20:7, etc.). This was often accompanied with dread among those believing in God, who often...
Reckoning to be “dead to sin” (Rom 6:11) does not free us from sin’s guilt, this was eternally established at rebirth. Reckoning or believing we’re dead to sins guilt establishes freedom from the old man’s “dominion” (Ro 6:14) in our minds, conscience and walk!
Identification (compiled by...
God used one man—Adam—to begin a race of beings in which He was to reveal in the universe His love, by creating man (second to the trinity concerning significance) in His “image” and after His “likeness.” He used one man—Noah—to manifest to the world afterwards the urgency of His “righteousness”...
After being saved, increasing our walk in Christ’s image (Eph 4:15; 1Jo 2:6), which is by the Spirit through His Word, is the primary work concerning everything so that we can “draw close to God” (Jas 4:8) in our earthly fellowship with Him, and therefore be used more effectively by the Lord...
"Tempt" has two meanings: 1) to test by trial; Strong's Greek G3986, e.g. Jas 1:12. 2) to entice or enticed to evil; G3985, e.g. Jas 1:13. As it is seen, the prior is the use of "tempt" here in Heb 4:15.
