    The elect

    Only God knows His children. And His children hear His voice. You can have assurance of salvation if your life produces fruit, but regardless of the earthly evidence a predestined son of God will never fail to gain His promises.

    Trees falling in the forest

    Yes, yes, yes. But I care to say that God is about reality, not “what if’s.” God is in control of everything, ....everything! That’s a beautiful notion if we can rest in Jesus and experience God’s glory for the remainder of earthly time.

    Feeling Evil

    Bro, God has started a good work in you. He will be faithful to complete it. Give him your heart, mind and soul. Even if you cannot now, you will because it is He who is working in you. You’re not who you were. You are a child of God. God will not let you down. Blessings

    The Contradiction: Messages about God's Mercy, Love, and Grace and Messages about Judgment...?

    Absolutely we should be doing all we can do until Jesus returns. It is, however sometimes extremely difficult to do the things he is asking us to do, and precisely when he directs. We need to be prepared when opportunities arise, and boldly act. I struggle with this, honestly, living in a...

    The Contradiction: Messages about God's Mercy, Love, and Grace and Messages about Judgment...?

    I understand. But hey, we live in a fallen world. We can make an impact for the good if we trust God, follow him, and forsake ourselves. But the bottom line is that even the plants are crying out because of sin. God is more concerned with His church coming to a full knowledge of Him. Jesus...

    Sorrry to jump in, but just wanted to say that Jesus “solved” sin by his sacrifice on the Cross. He took on all the sins of the entire world and cast them into the sea of forgetfulness. God CANNOT judge you any longer for your sins because he placed all His wrath upon Jesus. He has no more...

    The Contradiction: Messages about God's Mercy, Love, and Grace and Messages about Judgment...?

    Hello, There is no contradiction here. God’s grace, mercy and love are His response to our sinfulness seen in the propitiatory death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Judgement is what we all deserve and would receive without the work of Jesus. We are all born sinners and there is no remedy...

    Once saved always saved

    All those who are saved by the blood of Jesus will be saved to the uttermost. He stoned for all your sins, past, present and future. Those who are “saved” most certainly will never be lost. The struggle that remains is confirming your confidence in the faith. Are YOU saved? Does your life...
