• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

For through the Spirit, by faith, we ourselves eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness. -Galatians 5:5

Is the hope of righteousness, the day of redemption that we wait eagerly through the Spirit by faith ?

1 John 3:
2
Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be,
but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him
as He is.
3
And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.
Hope to see you all on that day.
1 Thessalonians 2:19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing?
Is it not even you in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at His coming?
Thanks for the quoted verses. I will mediate them.

Redemption is not complete until the Lord's return.
.

Redemption begins in the life of a believer as soon as they are born again.
All the born again are "redeemed by the blood of the Lamb".
This is the "gift of Salvation".
