Hi, and like your ID! Thanks much for your reply and comments, which always encourages me whenever I encounter believers who are in the study of the Word of God. The permanency of faith and salvation is not a common understanding among many of those who are reborn in the last half century or so...

Hi, and thanks for the input! Yes, "through faith" (Eph 2:8), which is the sole requirement of receiving grace, and eventually grows fruit to see!

Concerning "sanctified," my purpose for the article was to show that it is irrelevant as reference to effecting (producing) salvation, because it is fully imputed at rebirth, same for holiness, righteousness, and justification (all of which only manifests faith and salvation, not produces nor...

It is when it is difficult that God is glorified the most in believers, when they, as much as lies within them at the time, patiently “endure hardness” by contemplating their eternal place in Christ until it passes over. Remember, the infirmities are but lessons of love the Father is managing...

Hi, and always thankful fro your replies and comments! IMO, we are to always depend in God at all times for all our needs, esp. concerning the "laying aside the weight and the sin (Heb 12:1), and more than all, the "casting all your care upon Him," (1Pe 5:7); which is a show of trusting Him for...

What is lacking in the newly-reborn in Christ? In our possessions—nothing; but in our walk—much! In the outset of our faith we are given “all things that pertain to life and godliness” (2Pe 1:3; Rom 8:32; 1Co 3:21), but during this babe-in-Christ stage (which all progress from) there is great...

One disadvantage in studying Scripture is the unknowingly over-paralleling the dispensations of God’s administrations concerning God’s people, Israel and God’s children, the Christians. Though much teaching within the prior Covenant typified and “shadowed” the coming “very image” (Heb 10:1)...

Sanctification Many believers of late are of the notion that “sanctification” is a process involving the completion of one’s salvation, and that one cannot know for certain when, or even if one is or will be saved until this sanctification process is complete! Be encouraged, dearly beloved in...

In creation, two elements came into being concerning man’s makeup: body and spirit. In Christianity, the body of man will eventually be recreated, but the spirit of man is already recreated, which manifests the omnipotence of the Spirit of God as its Creator. The first creation was intentionally...

Just to summarize my opinion, Jesus’ perfect fulfillment of the Law was not to credit His righteousness in the Law to believers, but to manifest His qualification of being the perfect, spotless sacrifice for us, and to manifest that He is the only One righteous. The righteousness with which...

Believers are not intended to walk within the Law for their righteousness, for it is only Christ and His work that brings one to rebirth and which imputes His righteousness! Surly there is nothing more hindering to Christian spiritual growth (but not to receiving salvation itself) than to...

Though obedience holds no favor with God but pleases Him, disobedience evidences His absence!

Is it not in the difficulties (that all must endure) where we are “conformed” to grow the most in our faith, which growth continues until departure? Obedience pleases God but is never causal for His blessings, which are solely derivatives of our favor in Christ! If obedience (intended out of...

Life and living are concerned about the possession of a physical body, and as the Lord Jesus has always been the One-of-a-kind Son of God, He now and will ever also be the One-of-a-kind divine Human (theanthropic, as the writer shows); all of which results greatly in additional glory and joy for...

Appreciate your encouraging reply!

Thank you for the encouraging reply!

The real good in any ministry is in the measure in which it feeds the heart with the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the sun to give to give light and warmth, and the greater the extent of surface presented to Him the more He confers. There is more capacity to receive, which is increased as the heart...

Hi and thanks for your concern and comment! God bless!
