SAVED BY GRACE

SAVED BY GRACE Ephesians 2:4-10 (KJV) 4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the …

JESUS IS GOD

JESUS IS GOD When Jesus referred to Himself as the “Son of Man”, He spoke in reference to His Divine Incarnate self, and to the fact that He had become a human in order to bring atonement to the world. This is His Messianic title. Jesus referred to Himself by this title about 80 times in various aspects of His divine mission. These aspects are 1) His coming to be the Savior of the world in order to forgive sins, 2) His rejection and betrayal, 3) His death and resurrection, 4) His position as final Judge, and 5) His second coming …

Do You Really Believe in Jesus?

Do You Really Believe in Jesus? Have you ever really believed in Jesus Christ? I was talking to my five-year old son. He replied quickly, “Of course, dad.” “But have you ever really been saved? How do you really know you are saved?” He replied, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved,.” He ripped off the words as fast as his little mouth could phrase them. It was a verse he had memorized, and he had heard it explained so many times. Perhaps you would have answered just as he did. “Of course I am saved. …

Seeking God

Seeking God ”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.” (Hebrews 11:6) The word “seek” appears in KJV some 233 times. It is translated from the Greek word ekzeteo which means “to search out, investigate, worshipfully crave, seek after carefully.” This is the manner in which we come to the Lord – we seek Him out. I’ve never met anyone who came to salvation accidentally, or someone who came to know the Lord that wasn’t seeking …

The Basis for Discernment

Spiritual discernment sharpens when we spend time in God’s Word, approaching His truth with a willing spirit. The Basis for Discernment HEBREWS 4:12-13 12 For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do. Spiritual discernment is the ability …

“To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.”— Romans 1:7

“To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.”— Romans 1:7 We are very apt to regard the apostolic saints as if they were “saints” in a more especial manner than the other children of God. All are “saints” whom God has called by His grace, and sanctified by His Spirit; but we are apt to look upon the apostles as extraordinary beings, scarcely subject to the same weaknesses and temptations as ourselves. Yet in so doing we are forgetful of this …

Come To The Cross

Come To The Cross The Bible declares, “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23 KJV). Because of sin, none of us can pay the price to enter heaven. Regardless of how many “good” works we do, we are still sinners by birth, unable to merit God’s favor. We have come short of God’s righteous standards. Thus, in order to enter heaven, we need God’s righteousness. The good news is that, through the finished crosswork of Jesus Christ on Calvary, we can be made “the righteousness of God in Christ” (2 Corinthians 5:21 KJV). …

When You’re Juggling Faith and Heartache~

When You’re Juggling Faith and Heartache~ It’s become more than apparent, that what faith appears to be to someone watching and what faith feels like to someone walking through it, can seem to be completely different and yet, in reality, be absolutely the same. In the wee morning of December 8th,2015, my heart stopped. Getting my world started again, – no matter how many times the clock ticks, or how many days go by, or how many times I flip the page on the calendar over to a new month, is still an ongoing, don’t-know-how-to-do-it, battle every single moment of …
