    The Spirit of Anti-Christ

    John wrote, "Beloved, believe not every Spirit, but try the Spirits whether they be of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world" 1 John 4:1. What is the Spirit of Anti-Christ? Anything that subverts the deity of Jesus Christ is Anti-Christ. Many cults and religions teach...

    The Gospel that Reconciles You, Me, and the Whole World unto God

    Paul wrote, "Having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say whether they be things in the earth, or things in heaven" Colossians 1:20. "And you that were sometimes alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now has he...

    "There remains a rest for the people of God. For he that has entered into his rest, he also has ceased from his own works as God did from his" Hebrews 4:9-10.

    How Does Jesus Save?

    If Jesus saved us by doing something in us by the Holy Spirit, then there would not have been a need for the incarnation. Jesus could have stayed in heaven and could have sent the Holy Spirit into the world to transform people into his likeness. No life, death and resurrection of Jesus needed...

    Paul: "Christ is our Life" Colossians 3:4.

    Religion is man's attempt to re-habilitate his fallen Adamic nature by the deeds of the law. Paul said, "Therefore, by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin" Romans 3:20. Works, laws and religion are the deeds of the law...

    The "In Christ" Doctrine

    What does it mean to be "In Christ"? For the born-again Christian it means great joy and peace. Those that are "In Christ" have ceased from their own works (religion) and have entered into his rest, Hebrews 4:10. They are resting in the righteousness of Christ and in his atonement for their...

    The Curse of the Law

    "For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, cursed is everyone that does not continue to do all things that are written in the book of the law" Galatians 3:10. Paul wrote this to the Galatians that thought they would be saved and justified if they kept...

    Jesus Perfects Our Humanity and Takes it to Heaven

    Our salvation is in a very safe place at the right hand of God in heaven. Jesus said, "Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust corrupt and where thieves break in and steal: But layup for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth or rust corrupts, and...

    Why Justification is by Faith Alone

    No one will enter heaven that has not been justified by faith alone. We are justified by faith alone because we are justified by Christ alone, Romans 3:26. If one adds works or obedience to justification, they have perverted the Gospel and justification by faith. No one is able to justify...

    RELIGION: Man's Attempt to Become Like God

    Where there is law, there is religion. I would also like to add that where there is law there is sin. Paul said, "Where there is no law, there is no sin" Romans 4:15. Law, religion and sin are all related. All religions have one thing in common, they are all based upon law. Christianity is...

    The Christians Lower Adamic Nature

    When I first became a Christian, I thought that I would no longer have a desire to sin. I was wrong. The church that I was going to had a tendency towards holiness theology or better known as Christian perfectionism. Some of them believed that through the power of the Holy Spirit they could...

    Reconciled Unto God, NOT Predestinated

    If one believes that they have been reconciled unto God by Jesus Christ, they will reject the Calvinist doctrine of predestination. It is not possible to believe both doctrines. Why would one believe that they have been predestinated by God and then believe that they have been reconciled unto...

    God Sees ALL THINGS in Jesus Christ

    God the Father is a Spirit. No one has ever seen God the Father because he is a Spirit. Jesus Christ is the physical manifestation of God. This is why Jesus said to Philip, "He that has seen me has seen the Father" John 14:9. This is also why God sees ALL THINGS in his Son Jesus Christ...

    What is Saving Faith?

    Before we can know what saving faith is, we will have to know what saving faith is not. Saving faith is NOT faith in a church or a religious organization. Saving faith is NOT faith in a mystical religious experience. Saving faith is NOT faith in keeping the law or the commandments. Saving...

    The Fall of Humanity

    Adam was the representative of the human race. As Adam goes so go we. "For as by one man's disobedience (Adam) many were MADE sinners" Romans 5:19. We were MADE sinners. We did not become sinners. It is not our fault that we are sinners, its Adam's fault. We were born into sin. King David...

    How Jesus Reconciled Us and the World unto God

    In the Gospel we have ALREADY been reconciled unto God by Jesus Christ. "All things are of God, who has (ALREADY) reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ and has given unto us the ministry of reconciliation" 2 Corinthians 5:18. "God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself, not...

    You are Complete in Jesus Christ

    God requires two things for the salvation of fallen man. 1. A life of perfect obedience according to his Holy Law. 2. A perfect atonement for our sins and the sins of whole world. That's it, nothing else is required. Jesus in our name and on our behalf has victoriously met both of these...

    The Gospel is the Power of God unto Salvation

    Paul wrote, "For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believes; to the Jew first and also to the Greek" Romans 1:16. What is the power of God unto salvation? The basis of our salvation is what Jesus accomplished for us in his...

    The Gospel Verses Religion

    RELIGION: Man's preoccupation with his own spirituality. His works, his obedience, his piety, himself. THE GOSPEL: What God has accomplished in his Son Jesus Christ. His victory over sin, death and the devil. I have found that religious people have little to no interest in the Gospel of...
