Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith and so our faith begins with a connection to Jesus as our Lord and Savior. Then the Spirit makes the scriptures come alive to us as we gather round hearing Jesus' words. The Spirit also fulfills the promise of the new covenant, transforming us into...

Faith believes upon the word of God and produces works of a penitent and loving heart.

Heb 11:6 "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." We must first believe that the Lord is and that he answers prayer to have faith. Faith is that form of believing that is...

We should, each of us, be fully persuaded in our own minds. The one who keeps the Sabbath, keeps it unto the Lord and the one for whom every day is the same, does so before the Lord. So that whether we keep the Sabbath or not, we are the Lord's and answer only to him. Hast thou faith? have it...

When scripture is shared, there is always the potential that the Holy Spirit will illuminate it and increase the faith of such a one or perhaps fulfill the promise of the new covenant and write the Lord's laws and commandments upon the table of that one's heart and mind; transforming him or her...

The point is that with the prayer of faith we are able to give those who haven't as yet suffered spiritual death, life! Perhaps we should quit being Jonahs running away from the needs of the weak and rather bless sinners from among both the faithful and the lost with life as able ministers of...

Amen! Each person born into the world is of more value than all of the precious metals and gems in the entire universe because of the Lord's great love for each of us.

2 Pet 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance."

Jesus being God is an infinite being. When he paid our debt-in-full by the greatest miracle in all of eternity, when he had our sins put upon himself and took our curse upon himself and was cut off from the Father by our sin; he suffered infinitely. Jesus suffered infinitely whether it was for...

Heb 9:15 "And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance." The new covenant does not come with a curse of...

1 Jn 5: 16, 17 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say he shall pray for it. All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death. An amazing...

SarahA... Draw near to the Lord and he will draw near to you. The Lord is found within the scriptures and the prayer closet. The Spirit uses our time in the scripture to fulfill the promise of the New Covenant by writing the Lord's laws and commandments upon the tables of our hearts and minds...

Water baptism is an act of obedience for the new believer. An outward declaration to the world and to oneself that they've died with Christ to sin and are raised with Christ in the newness of life to follow the Spirit. Water baptism is the outward act of obedience in the natural world; while...

1 Cor 11: 27-32 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and...

imo... I suspect that baptism for the dead was a baptismal service where proxy believers were baptized on behalf of those who died or were martyred before they could be water baptized themselves.

Lu 10:17-20 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy...

You said: Wolf, I don't believe I've ever heard anyone say that with enough faith we won't get sick. If anyone did, I didn't see it. My point was that I was agreeing with your response to wolf and going on from there by adding about sickness: The Lord therefore uses sickness, even to death...

The problem with prosperity is that it is the poor, who are rich in faith. Are we not all commanded to be content with what we have to eat and wear. Not much room for riches after that, in fact, in many verses we see riches treated like this verse in Mk 10:23 "And Jesus looked round about, and...

Hey! 7seasrekeyed... : ) Jn 10:18 "No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it up again. This commandment have I received of my Father." Praise Jesus our God both now and forever!

Hey! Guojing... You mentioned, what else did Jesus accomplish from upon the cross? Heb 9:14 "How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot unto God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God." The above verse makes...
