“In the knowledge of Him” (Eph 1:17). We will not learn truth in reality except in the deepening knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ (4:17). It is the lack of this which is the cause of weakness and immaturity among believers; knowing bare doctrine is not abiding in the Lord Jesus. When the...

Concerning the article about God’s omniscience, I felt a need to clarify what I mean by “God’s commands are only to those whom He knows are going to desire to obey them.” My intention in this statement is related to those who God knows are never going to believe, e.g. “he that believeth not is...

Note: I occasionally let viewers know that the comments I include in these articles are not intended to be accepted necessarily as what the authors mean but that I’m just sharing my opinion of what they mean to me. Thanks and God bless! The chief glory of the Lord Jesus is His redemptive...

I believe God’s commands are only to those whom He knows are going to desire to obey them. What sense or reason would there be to think He would command those whom He knows would not obey them, which I believe if conceived otherwise, would be to misunderstand His omniscience. I see it that his...

The word “sanctify” has the same sense as holy and consecrate. There is that which man can sanctify, and there is that which God sanctifies. Man’s sanctification is the esteeming of self or something apart for God. God sanctifies believers apart from unbelievers and is why the believer is holy...

The Life that the Spirit of God gives to those reborn is not His Life but the Life of the Lord Jesus’, in which we are eternally implanted (Col 3:4; also Jhn 11:25; 14:6; 20:31; 2Ti 1:1). “These Three are one” in accord and in agreement concerning all things, and They possess the same Divine...

Thanks for the reply, on which I agree, that there are many in Contemporary Christianity that are confused concerning the love of God. But thankfully we know that those who are genuine Christians will eventually be led into the truth of all things (Jhn 16:13).

Appreciate the Amen--God bless!

One may have an appearance to obey the Lord Jesus (Jhn 14:23, 24), but it is the test of time that will determine its genuineness, for it will never cease. The Lord Jesus said, “He that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved” (Mat 24:13). In other words, only whosoever is saved will...

Yes, same here, and I rest in the truth that all who are reborn are guaranteed to finish in Christ!

Thank you fellow laborer!

Amen, and God bless!

Nothing can be more edifying than to repose in the love of the Lord Jesus when it is known, and the heart set free to rest in it. The soul may have a long journey to reach it experientially; there may be needs and exercises to be met and removed on the way; the old man and the world may have to...

Hi and appreciate your reply! The OP concept is that there will be two groups of God's people: Those in Christ, and the Israelites who believe in God but not yet in Christ. These Jews will be the one's on the earth at the rapture.

What evinces faith in God the most is—rest—that is, trusting always in Him, that He “means” and “works” good to the believer in all that is encountered (Gen 50:20; Ro 8:28)! There is no other means of peace in the true sense of the word, and there is nothing that you will think, say or do that...

Christians know life in Christ, but what of its liberty in the walk. It’s in the walk that intents of the heart are manifest, and it’s the walk that is used more than all to reveal the testimony of the soul. For some time now (about the last century of so, and becoming more obviously present in...

Some useful information I found on this subject can be viewed searching “Redemption Planned” by Don Kistler, and I like the OT passage he includes that I believe is directly related: Zech 6:13. https://www.ligonier.org/learn/articles/redemption-planned/

Sorry for posting the wrong Scripture location, it's suppose to be Jer 31:31 concerning Israel's new covenant, not Eze.

Also wanted to mention that it would not seem correct to conceive that Jeremiah’s prophesy concerning Israel’s future “New Covenant’ could be the Christian’s present Covenant in Christ’s Blood (as some may think) because this Covenant that Jesus declared to the Jews (Luk 22:20; 1Co 11:25) is not...

Note to reader: It’s the hopes of this poster that viewers understand and apply the truths of Israel’s eschatology to their faith; and it is also acknowledged concerning the suspicion that most will find this doctrine unfamiliar, and so, initially difficult to understand or lacking interest. God...
