From the previous posting we know that sin is anything not of God, and that if we ask Him to do so, He will reveal our sins and take away our desire to commit them. What the true seeker of Truth will learn is that many of the activities professing Christians believe to be perfectly […]

Before entering the final phase of this series of postings we need to address two deadly errors shared by the two billion plus patrons of the professing church: 1) Church people do not know God’s definition of sin. When confronted with it they reject it. 2) Church people believe that God’s Word on the subject […]

Human beings are not born fully grown; neither is the child of God. Neither is faith. Neither is the knowledge of God, His Word, Way and Will. Neither is the saint’s ability to utilize his God-given faith and knowledge to overcome Satan “even as  I (Jesus) overcame” him (Rev. 3:21) and to “walk even as […]

Ephesians 2:8 tells us that the faith of Jesus Christ, the only faith by which we can be saved, is a gift from God as an expression of His grace. Galatians 5:22 tells us that God-given faith comes from having His Holy Spirit abiding within us. In summary: Christ’s faith saves us as He gives […]

Jesus Christ is called the Author and Finisher of true Christian faith (Heb. 12:2). As a man He showed us how to appropriated true faith from God the Father, live it and perfect it. By arranging to have His way and walk recorded by Bible writers, He reveals to us how to appropriate Scripture-based faith, […]

True saints of the Biblical God have the very FAITH OF JESUS CHRIST living and operating within them.

To embrace Christ’s faith gives the believer the same faith Jesus used as […]

Both faith and righteousness on the part of the salvation-seeker are necessary in order to attain the eternal life he seeks. Faith is the absolute assurance that what God said in His Word is true. Righteousness is the result of obeying the Truth (Jn. 17:17) He recorded in His Word. Though this process sounds simple […]

Jesus Christ has defeated Satan, thereby qualifying to become Lord of Lord and King of Kings. He now intercedes for those who truly seek help in overcoming Satan and the temptations of the world. He does this through the indwelling Holy Spirit which imparts faith to the honest seeker of righteousness. This series of postings […]

As has been shown in previous postings, an open-hearted study of God’s Word will prove to the honest seeker of Truth that WORKS ARE NECESSARY IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR SALVATION. Those who have been shown this Truth but reject it always pose the question: Can we earn salvation by our own works? In a […]

“Works” is a dirty word within professing Christendom. One of the earliest lessons I can remember being taught relative to religion was that, having committed my life to Jesus Christ, joined the church and been baptized, the fix was in. Over the years I was repeatedly assured that I was saved and born again, and […]
