Hi, and appreciate your encouraging comments! God bless!!

Appreciate the support and God bless!

Amen, and thanks for the comment!

Most believers are familiar with Romans 8:28, which is the most encouraging passage: “We know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” It’s my suspicion that many Christians do not have sufficient understanding...

Hi, and good comments! Of course many are not aware, but God "works" in us everything we need to "please" Him (Phl 2:13). This is without fail; and if this is prevented--it means we're not His yet, because He works in every individual one who is reborn!!

Appreciate the reply, and God bless!

Our Father would have us to “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2Pe 3:18). He lovingly carries this out by delivering us “unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the Life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh” (2Co 4:11). The natural tendency of...

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...
