Failure to Grow in Christ

by

This section of text says that there are many more concepts or doctrines regarding Christianity and the Lord Jesus which the apostle wants to speak to this audience but they are not ready for them. They have chosen a path of slow or no growth in their faith which is called sanctification. By the end of the first century this laziness regarding growth in Christ had become so apparent that Jesus told the apostle John to write about this to the Church at Ephesus as part of the book of Revelation. The letters to the churches of Asia in Revelation …

Forgive One Another

by

Gracethrufaith Question of the Day: Q. I see in your discussion of forgiveness that a person does not have to repent for us to forgive them. But in the case of us and God, we must repent to receive forgiveness. Why is this not the same? How can the person receive forgiveness from another if they don’t think they have done anything wrong or allow pride to keep them from asking for it. I have a couple of people in my life that continually hurt me in horrible ways, and I have as little contact with them as possible, but I …

Though we want instant answers to prayer, God may wait for us to spend time reading His Word and getting to know Him better. Psalms 25:12 “What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.” How can you be sure you’re making the right decision? Sometimes it may feel as if God plays hide and seek when you’re trying to know His will, but that’s not the way He operates. The heavenly Father wants to give His children clear direction. The real question is, What do you need to do …

“The wrath to come.” Matthew 3:7

by

  It is pleasant to pass over a country after a storm has spent itself; to smell the freshness of the herbs after the rain has passed away, and to note the drops while they glisten like purest diamonds in the sunlight. That is the position of a Christian. He is going through a land where the storm has spent itself upon his Saviour’s head, and if there be a few drops of sorrow falling, they distil from clouds of mercy, and Jesus cheers him by theassurance that they are not for his destruction. But how terrible is it to …
