    The Righteousness of God

    Romans 3:21-26 ESV “But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe.

    Faith, Grace, Works, and Law

    James 2:14-17 ESV “What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, ‘Go in peace, be warmed and filled,’ without giving them the things...

    Is faith a responsibility or a gift?

    Is faith in God a responsibility that one should fulfill? Or, is faith a gift of grace? Perhaps faith is a matter of both responsibility and grace?

    Prayer request for my Christian friend and their family

    Hello, I'm currently learning about Christianity and a close friend of mine is helping me with some questions I have and we regularly discuss the Bible and scriptures. The church they belong to is a "Message" church. They don't necessarily believe in "The Message" because of the emphasis on...

    When Judgment Comes

    The Path of the Righteous Isaiah 26:7-9 ESV “The path of the righteous is level; you make level the way of the righteous. In the path of your judgments, O Lord, we wait for you; your name and remembrance are the desire of our soul. My soul yearns for you in the night; my spirit...

    Works continue, long after faith is gone (selah)

    Hi there, So there is a painfully obvious point to make, in the manner that James spoke of about showing his faith by his works (from memory, James): In other words, we do not get to Heaven by works, but that does not change the fact that the faith (at least for the faith of its own sake) will...

    Presupposition: mutation comes before adaptation - justified *how*?

    Hi there, So I guess I am assuming you are some kind of expert on "Evolution" and that if I question the integrity of the theory, you will as an agent with a mind, be able to pull the theory apart and examine the part of it, that I think could be improved upon? For example, the presupposition...

    Because of the Great Love of God

    “But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the...

    But I Do Not Swerve

    Should our Desires Form our Beliefs?

    I read this on Twitter yesterday, posted by a fellow Christian: “When I let my desires form my beliefs, then essentially I begin talking to Scripture rather than it talking to me.” I believe the Lord Jesus led me to read this tweet, and so I inquired of the Lord what he wanted to teach me...

    "according to : = His purpose"

    - Lets look at this verse. """"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.""" Let's focus on the 2nd part "called according to His purpose". This is 2 "calls", being reflected as rightly divided... Lets look...

    To stop sinning.

    - Let me show you how you stop sinning. You will begin to receive the POWER to stop, just as soon as you start to believe that the blood of Jesus, continues to keep you as "the righteousness of God", even while you are being carnal. See, God is always kept at peace with the Born again, based...

    How to spot the Devil

    - The devil is real. Believe it. His ministers are "ministers of RIGHTEOUSNESS"> What does that mean? It means they talk about God and Christ and teach works, law and commandment keeping, in place of God's "gift of Salvation". What does that mean.? It means that the Devil's ministers, FAKE...

    Christ grows more sensitive, to sin - not less!

    Hi there, So for all you backsliders out there, consider for a moment what you are really losing, when it comes to the Lord and sin. You are not surprising God, in turning from one sin to another and forgetting Him. There is no point at which God says "I have been mindful of sin, but now as the...

    By the Flesh or By the Spirit?

    Perfected by the Flesh? Galatians 3:1-3 “O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? It was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified.

    WHAT IS GOD'S GRACE FOR?

    Hello all, I have some questions as there seems to be confusion on the purpose of God's grace. Of course God's Grace is a free gift by God to mankind in Christ and his death on the cross for our sins. There is nothing that we can do to earn it as the scriptures teach it is God's gift to mankind...
