    John 3:16

    - For God so loved the world that he Gave (Jesus), His only begotten, that whosoever believes in Him, should not perish, but have Everlasting life. 1.) God so loved the world that He gave. Gave what? Gave us all Salvation. Jesus is the Grace of God, the Bread of God, and the Blood of God, who...

    What does born again mean?

    - It means that, as an unbeliever, you have a nature that is sinful. It means that because Adam sinned, this caused a " lost position".., where he was no longer connected to God, spiritually. And all who were born since Adam, have this same situation... this same spiritual condition. Our...

    The New Testament Priority

    What are the basics of Christianity, that we are to learn and live. ????? Well, Hebrews 13:9 is the Key verse in the entire NT, that you are to thoroughly ingrain into the mentality and the spirituality of anyone who is a new believer, that God gives you to train, so that the cults dont get...

    Unscrambling : The Elect

    Lots of confusion about the elect and the predestined elect, and on and on... Its just such a bag of twisted wires lost in space somewhere. The reason it sounds like a Rubik's cube is because of the way the scriptures are worded.....it just twists the idea, totally. Its really simple tho...

    In Comes the Devil

    Other then God, Noone knows the day or the hour when the Son of Man is scheduled to come back, but we can know the door that is opening to this end time reality. Can you predict when Jesus will return? I can't, and this isn't a prediction that im going to write to you for you to consider, ...

    The paradox of Demas

    Here is the best way to teach a Legalist or a New Christian how to understand WHY Demas is now in Heaven. "when we were yet UNGODLY, Christ died for us..." "to You that WORKETH NOT< but believeth on GOD who JUSTIFIES THE UNGODLY"....."your FAITH is COUNTED as GOD's Righteousness". This is the...

    Is it OK to give ?

    - Probably the first tithe was given by : Gen 14:17-20: “at the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King's Valley), after his return from the defeat of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him. Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; he was the priest of God Most High. And he...

    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...

    The True Story Behind the Work of the Age of Redemption

    The True Story Behind the Work of the Age of Redemption God says: "My entire management plan, the six-thousand-year management plan, consists of three stages, or three ages: the Age of Law of the beginning; the Age of Grace (which is also the Age of Redemption); and the Age of Kingdom of the...

    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...

    The Mountain Top

    People talk about "mountain top experiences", often with the subsequent idea that we will end up sliding back into the flatland. Does that have to happen? I don't think so. I think our faith is enough live on that mountaintop. Romans 5:1-2 "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    "... the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life ..." "... by grace are ye saved ..."- - Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8 We get the point. Salvation from the death sentence is God’s gift, because God sent his own son to bear the death penalty for man. (John 3:16) But doesn’t...

    How to Activate the Grace Within

    “Grace be to you and peace, from God our father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed be the God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ”—Ephesians 1:2-3 The above opening text tells us clearly that God has blessed us...

    For What Do You Believe in God?

    我相信主已有这么多年了。然而,当有人问我“为了什么目的你相信上帝?”一时间,我不知道该怎么回答。关于这个问题,我曾问主我的兄弟姐妹们。他们给了我各种答案。有人说:“相信上帝就是成为一个好人,并以一个真正的人的身份生活”; 有人说:“接受神的保护和肉体的平安,避免灾难”; 有人说:“我对上帝的信仰只是为了得救。而且,在今后的年龄和永恒的生活中,我可以获得百倍的回报。上帝的祝福无数“。有些人说:“为了我的病得到治疗”; 有人说:“为了获得暂时的安慰”...

    Testimony of James Roberts

    I grew up in a lower middle class family in a urban city in the Midwest. From being a devout Roman Catholic in parochial grade school, I started drifting away from the RCC in parochial high school. By the time I started college, I had serious doubts of faith, and only a vague understanding of...

    DAILY MEDITATIONS AND AFFIRMATIONS - 64

    Matthew 7:5 - "You hypocrite! First take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye." Observation: Jesus condemned sin. And we condemn sin also, but the sin we must condemn first is the sin of judging others, for it obscures our...

    Mind of the Spirit / Mind of the Flesh

    Mind of the Spirit / Mind of the Flesh The question was recently asked, “What is the soul?”, and, along with this, “What is it that gets regenerated when someone is born again?” I am hoping this study may contribute towards answering these questions. To begin with, we’ll look at Romans...
