    Resourceful Father

    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...

    “Exhort One Another”

    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...

    Contemplate, or Contemplated?

    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).

    Contemplate, or Contemplated?

    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!

    Man to Man

    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...

    Contemplate, or Contemplated?

    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...

    Contemplate, or Contemplated?

    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...

    Some Israel Eschatological Passages

    “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...

    Some Israel Eschatological Passages

    I see what you mean. The Covenant with Israel concerning the Decalogue (which was only to Israel and no other people) involved also the Law. Jesus said "the Law would not pass till all be fulfilled" (Mat 5:18). His sacrifice was the fulfilling of the Law. This covenant was replaced by the new...

    Some Israel Eschatological Passages

    It depends on what you mean by "old covenant." If you mean the Law, it was fulfilled when Christ ascended to the Father. The Decalogue, which was only for the Jews, has been "taken away" (Heb 10:9), in order to establish the new present Covenant.

    Some Israel Eschatological Passages

    Hi, and thanks for your interest! The Decalogue was for only for the Hebrews and Jews. Not sure what else you mean.

    Some Israel Eschatological Passages

    Some Israel Eschatological Passages Isa 4:2, 3; 26:19 Dan 12:1-3 Eze 20:33, 34; 37:1-4, 11-14 “It requires no profound study to observe that the earthly, Messianic, Davidic kingdom was offered by John the Baptist, by Christ and by His disciples, that it was rejected even to the murder of...

    Kingdom Prayer

    There is not much concern, nor much direct Scriptural reference (but a great amount of Scriptural inference by the OT prophets and NT passages) to the Eschatology of Israel; so it is expected that not many believers will find much interest in the theology relating to this subject. But when will...

    “I Am the Truth”

    It is only in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ that we have truth fully brought out. I will learn truth through the Holy Spirit, and He is the only power of my knowing the truth, and is therefore called “Truth” in 1 John 5:6 (and is “the Spirit of Truth; Jhn 14:17; 15:26; 16:13; 1Jo 4:6)...

    Put Off—Put On

    “Put Off … The Old Man” (Eph 4:22) God always takes the initiative in salvation. Before He asks or expects man to act, He has acted. The work of the Lord Jesus in salvation is a completed work. What the Father has made true for us positionally, He longs to make real in us experientially...

    Law, Flesh—Grace, Spirit

    Concerning Israel and her relation to the land it is written: “trust in the lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land”; “The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein forever”; “For the upright shall dwell in the land’ (Psa 37:3, 29; Pro 2:21). No land had been given to the...

    Holding Out

    No matter the size of the trial it’s always the same issue—waiting it out, so we can continue to grow in our trust and faith in God! One of the most important growth truths is the fact that God always “works all things together for good to them that love God” (Ro 8:28). So, regardless the type...

    “Not In The Flesh”

    Hi, and thanks for the reply! Saints can feel guilt, but saints can't be guilty because of Christ's expiation for their sin. The sins of the believer are not the same as when unsaved. The sins are less frequent, less severe (impulsive, like envy, jealousy, etc.) and are not "willful" (Heb...
