A NEW RACE OF HUMAN…COMMENTARY ON EPHESIANS, (PT. 1)

by

A NEW RACE OF HUMAN…COMMENTARY ON EPHESIANS, (PT. 1) His (Jesus’) purpose was to make in Himself one new man (the Church) out of the two (Jew and Gentile), thus making peace and in this one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross by which He put to death their hostility. (Eph 2:15-16) The history makes it so clear. God and man simply could not dwell together. When they tried, man’s sin eventually drove God away, lest He destroy man. For a time He could allow some personal visitation as long as He kept Himself locked …

HOW TO SERVE GOD

by

Titus 3:5-8(KJV) 5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; 6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; 7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. 8 This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works.

“He was sore athirst, and called on the Lord, and said, thou hast given this great deliverance into the hand of thy servant: and now shall I die for thirst?” Judges 15:18 Samson was thirsty and ready to die.

One Mediator

by

Reflections One Mediator For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. (1 Tim 2:5) A, “mediator,” is a proxy; one who connects two parties. Jesus Christ is the sole Mediator between the believer and God. If Christ is in us, then by His very presence in us, we are joined to both Him and the Father. Now, notice what this means: It means that there must NEVER be anyone or anything introduced into our relationship with God who acts as ANOTHER mediator. There are no mediators in addition to Christ – there …
