Believers have no opposition (self, Satan and society) that will break through their defense of faith. Of the four items of amour, the “Sword” is the only offensive weapon, so one can reasonably assume that the more you study It, the stronger the rest of the armor will be. Faith will always lead...

The security and encouragement of the believer is not according to how one feels, but in knowing the unchangeable love of God ever has to those who reckon themselves “dead with Christ” (Rom 6:8; Col 2:20); this is the “old man” remaining on the Cross of Christ, while the believer is raised from...

Hi, and thanks for the instructional reply! Yes, faith and salvation always go together, as they are both permanent. Many cannot use this truth for encouragement because they do not understand it; though what one believes about this doctrine does not affect their salvation, it does affect their...

One can learn to be at peace with everything, knowing that God causes the believer to benefit in all things (Ro 8:28)! “Be anxious for nothing.” “Let not your heart be troubled” (Phl 4:6; Jn 14:1, 27). One can achieve these commands when in the right understanding of their impress; and this...

In physical suffering there is inability to enjoy or to do things which others do. But in sorrow everything has lost its enjoyment; there is a dark shadow on everything and everybody (best time for the “old man” to tempt—NC). I am cut off in sadness and affliction from the present scene (God...

Regardless of how they come to God, He already knew they would, because all who should be saved will be saved! Hence God has all the name of who will be saved in this Book of Life, which He made for the names, even before creating. Thanks for the reply and God bless!

I like this reply! Pretty applicable. Thank for the comments.

It’s my understanding that individuals must decide for themselves to choose to be right with God. Can you imagine how many more would be saved if God caused everyone who was prayed for to be saved? I believe once one desires God enough to choose Him, He causes them to come to salvation; and He...

Can you pray for others salvation? I believe one can pray in hope that one’s name is in the Book of Life. Actually, salvation is one thing you need not to pray for others, because “everyone that should be saved—will be saved!” Plus, the names of all who will be saved are already in the Book of...

The Jews who believes in God (“Ye believe in God” JN 14:1 - KJV), but not yet in Christ until they see Him, will be translated and restored in fellowship with Him later. These Jewish believers in God will inherit the new earth. But to inherit the new heaven one must believe in the Lord Jesus...

That is a good idea, as "imperative" denotes what must come. But my reason for using "prerogative" is to show that the enemies of the saints have the right to tempt us according to God's allowance, which is all for our learning and good! It's often about strengthening the faith of the believers...

Hi, and yes He has already won it all for us who believe! God bless!!

The opposition (self, Satan, society) has a right to attempt to “trouble” you, because God allows it so He can show us that He uses it for our “good.” Thus strengthening our faith. The issue here is how quick your resolution solves, and this is up to the believer! There is no reason to allow...

It’s obvious that some things written in the Word of God are more difficult to ascertain than others, requiring deeper understanding, especially concerning the eschatology of Israel. It’s my belief that God may have been a bit protective concerning teachings that relate to the end times of His...

Hi, will do, and thanks for the encouraging reply! I see the "big bad three as self (old self or old man), Satan, and society! God bless!

Are you maintaining a clear conscience (1Ti 3:9)? If not, we are not giving the Lord Jesus the glory for it! There is no reason for a saint to allow the oppositions (self, Satan and society) to produce guilt in ones thoughts. God knows the believer’s objective is ever to “please” Him, because...

The most difficult thing within Christianity is the trials saints will bear; but God will not allow us to endure more than we are supposed to endure (1Co 10:13; Heb 12:4; 1Jo 5:3). Nevertheless, trusting God in all our “hardness” (2Ti 2:3) is the primary reason He takes us through every single...

No, but thanks for asking, and God bless!
