Promises of God
Tuesday, April 14th, 2009The two perspectives of Eternal Salvation
There is only one salvation ever mentioned in scripture. This one salvation, however, does have two perspectives which must be rightly divided before the fullness of the glory of God can be revealed.
Tuesday, April 14th, 2009Does the Holy Spirit come and go depending on obedience or disobedience?
Scripture reveals that the Holy Spirit is given in measure. Scripture also reveals that we can quench the Holy Spirit. Therefore, we can quench the Spirit in certain aspects of our lives, or completely. We must put on the new man. As we put on the new man the old man is removed. As we put on Christ the carnal man is subdued.
Wednesday, May 28th, 2008John 6:46 Not that any man hath seen the Father
In this passage Jesus teaches that not just any man has seen the Father. He points out that only those which are of God have seen the Father.
Thursday, January 31st, 2008Matthew 22:14 For many are called but few are chosen
Many of God’s children are called to be obedient; called to live righteously, but few are actually chosen. In order to properly understand what Jesus meant, we must allow scripture to interpret scripture. We can do this by studying Paul’s teaching on the election of grace.
Romans 11:5 Even so then at this present time also [...]
Ephesians 1:13-14 In whom ye also [trusted], after that ye heard the word of truth
Having been given the greatest inheritance of eternal life and eternal salvation; if the person will put his trust in this gospel message and believe, he will receive the earnest of it.
Tuesday, October 16th, 20071 Corinthians 3:13-15 Every man’s work shall be made manifest
All will suffer loss, for all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God, and continue to do so every day. They are all sinners, there is none righteous. But our loss is limited by our obedeince.
Tuesday, October 16th, 2007Hebrews 12:6-8 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth
It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of God. If you think your earthly father punished you, be even more affraid of the hand of God, when in His wrath He punishes His disobedient children.
Monday, October 15th, 2007Does God choose who He draws to Him?
I found this question, in regards to John 6:44 and John 6:65, posted to another blog. An attempt was made to answer the question, but was poorly handled. I have chosen to use these same questions, which seems very general and could easily be asked by anyone, to provided answers in accordance with a proper understanding of Gods true grace.
Wednesday, August 8th, 2007Does Salvation result from Works or from Faith?
The key to properly understanding the salvation of God is in the inheritance. Salvation is taken possession of by both works and faith, but only if we have already received salvation by grace.
Thursday, August 2nd, 2007Romans 8:29-30 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate…
God did choose, did predestinate, did regenerate, and then offered the liberty of becoming the sons of God.
Tuesday, June 5th, 2007Is Obedience a Condition of Salvation?
Is Obedience a Condition of Salvation? That depends upon which aspect of salvation is under consideration. A proper understanding of the inheritance can aid in understanding the two aspects of salvation.
Tuesday, May 8th, 2007Ephesians 2:8 For by Grace are you saved through faith…
The obedient children of God are presently saved by grace through faith, because the reward which they receive presently, is an earnest of the gift given freely from God.
Wednesday, May 2nd, 2007John 3:5 Except a man be born of water and [of] the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God
In John 3:5 Jesus reveals that a person must meet two conditions before he can “enter into” the kingdom of Heaven. The first condition, which he discusses in John 3:3 is regeneration and must be performed by God and is the washing of regeneration. The second condition, being born of the Spirit is known as conversion and is accomplished when a person repents and walks after the Holy Spirit.
Friday, April 13th, 2007A visualization of the Salvation Process
The vast majority of God’s children have been lead into bondage by their shepherds. They have fallen victims to the teachings that they must believe, attend church regularly, give money, volunteer, etc… in order to prove they have achieved eternal salvation. If they do not perform they are considered as those who were not truly saved and are heading for eternal damnation. This is exactly the same teaching of the Pharisees and exactly what Christ’s and the Apostles preached against. Find out the truth and be set free from this bondage.
Friday, March 16th, 2007Romans 11:5 The Election of Grace
The election of God was nondiscriminatory, or else he would be a respecter of persons. But the election of grace is discriminatory and you are probably more familiar with it than you think.
