Why our Salvation is not Based on Works
Why our salvation has absolutely NOTHING to do with works. Rom.4:[1] What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? [2] For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. If our salvation had something to do with our […]
Be Like Jesus
Ephesians 4:[15] But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: Philippians 3: [8] Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all […]
Kingdom Gospel versus Gospel of Grace
There seems to be some confusion among the body of Christ as to whether or not the gospel Jesus’ preached and that of the Apostle Paul are the same gospel. This is important to us believers as we know we are taught in the scriptures if anyone preaches a different gospel to the church than […]
Mysteries of the Faith
Deut.29:[29] The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law. There were certain things God did not reveal to humanity during the days of the Old Testament. These things were hidden […]
2 Timothy Two
2Tim.2:[1] Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. [2] And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. The subject is strong in the grace. Not the legalistic ways of […]
Prayer Why We Pray
Why does a Christian pray? Sometimes the devil and the world gets us down in the dumps and we become discouraged in the flesh. In times like these we need the grace of God even more and we need to connect with God and feel the presence of His Spirit in our hearts. God has […]
Riches
2Cor.8:[9] For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. Wow!! God wants you to be RICH!!! Unfortunately the human concept of riches and God’s are TOTALLY different and in many ways TOTALLY incompatible. […]
Money
1Tim.6:[10] For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. Money is NOT intrinsically evil. The love of money IS. When we put the pursuit of money above all else it then becomes an evil. […]
Love in Ephesians
The word love is used nineteen times in the book of Ephesians. Though 1 Corinthians 13 is the standard for understanding true godly love it is the book of Ephesians which gives a deep understanding of the scope of love. First let us look at the love of God towards us as expressed in the […]
Government
Pss.9:[17] The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. Romans 1: [18] For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; [19] Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God […]
