Hi, and thanks for the reply! What you say is true, but one reborn will never let Satan to overcome him, because of God's "work" in the believer (Phl 2:13).

Not a cloud of guilt, nor any evil power of control remains for the believer in the Lord Jesus! The "old man," at rebirth, has lost both its "condemnation" (Ro 8:1) and "dominion" (Ro 6:14) on the believer. The guilt is gone because Christ has taken its curse; and its power to cause the believer...

This article demonstrates the two levels of maturity in Christ; living on Him here via the “manna,” which indicates Christ’s Life when He was here. Or living on Him on the “corn of the land,” which indicates living on Him where He is now—big difference! NC There Is A Difference! The corn of...

It may be one of the least interesting of things, but there is much growth in knowing God’s concerns for us when we are troubled, especially when in great difficulty! It is when we are going through a trial—regardless the size, that our spiritual growth increases the most. To know that God is...

Believers are either always forgiven for all sins, or not forgiven for any sins; Of course, the latter is never the case, and the prior is a truth of which there is no greater encouragement! A great truism is that God keeps believers in constant and continuous forgiveness (1Jn 1:9), and it’s the...

Only those who are written in the "Book of Life" will come the the Lord Jesus (Jhn 6:37); and the Father must "draw" them to come to Him (Jhn 6:44), otherwise they will not go to Him. The majority of mankind will not come to Christ (Mat 7:13, 14).

The Jews who believe in God will continue as His "people," and will inherit the New Earth; but those who believe in Christ before they see Him will inherit the sonship of Christ and the New Heaven!

Romans 5:1-11 sets forth the terms on which God is with you. Chapter 8 is how you are in Christ before Him. Many are occupied with chapter 8 who are not yet established in chapter 5. They must be taken in divine order. When you look up to God you see everything gone to His satisfaction; but when...

Hi, and appreciate your reply! Of course it was not God's plan for the Jew to continue in the OT ways, for the New Covenant in Christ is the next dispensation that God had desired the Jew to progress into (Jew first, then the Gentile - Rom 1:16; 2:9, 10). God even "took away" the first...

There is nothing like retirement for the soul, if one is occupied with the Lord Jesus, and not with himself. Occupation with Him results in my being more like Him, and more apart from myself. Occupation with myself is like the serpent’s eye that lures its victim to destruction. The more I am...

“He shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers” (Rev 2:27). Albert Barnes: “There is an allusion here to Psalms 2:9; “Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.” There is a slight change in...

I see what you mean. The Covenant with Israel concerning the Decalogue (which was only to Israel and no other people) involved also the Law. Jesus said "the Law would not pass till all be fulfilled" (Mat 5:18). His sacrifice was the fulfilling of the Law. This covenant was replaced by the new...

It depends on what you mean by "old covenant." If you mean the Law, it was fulfilled when Christ ascended to the Father. The Decalogue, which was only for the Jews, has been "taken away" (Heb 10:9), in order to establish the new present Covenant.

Hi, and thanks for your interest! The Decalogue was for only for the Hebrews and Jews. Not sure what else you mean.
