Romans 3:24 (NIV) - and all are justified FREELY by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
A Very Blessed Morning to all of you in the Lord Jesus Christ. The reason why Christ came is to set us free, Amen? The Bible uses the Term Eternal Life many times in scripture. Eternal would mean Eternal. If God meant for us to have temporal Salvation He would have us know that it is temporal. God wants to give us Eternal Life but The Devil wants to instill doubt of temporal Salvation discrediting the Grace of God that is Free. The very same tactic that is so ancient it was used upon Eve the first Time. Do you know that the essence of the very first deceit of Satan is to cause Eve to Doubt God is really that good and gracious.? Adam and Eve was free to eat all the Fruits of any Tree and the Devil try make both Adam & Eve to think God is Stingy when He forbade only 1 Tree. Many People do not know this revelation of the Garden of Eden and Even Today it's the same tactic. Our Text for today is Romans 3:24. Many Christians undermined the word "Freely" and have rendered it of no importance. NO Friends, the word Freely here is VERY VERY of UTMOST important! The Word FREELY in the Greek is in the Present Continuous Tense, meaning it is always on going, not temporal! If we are justified by the conditions of our effort, the word FREELY would not be there. If Truly Salvation is conditional, then the text should read "and all are justified by his grace and our works through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. No Dear Friends, Have the faith to receive this truth freely without any conditions. If your lack of confession of Sins can stop your Salvation, then Justification is no longer "FREELY" but conditional. Think about it. If God does not want you to have Eternal Salvation that is secured and ensured by his Son Jesus Christ, the 10 commandments is more than enough, Christ need not come. Have Strong Faith in the assurance of God's word, if you are justified freely by God's Grace then it is without any merits or conditions. Have a strong Assurance of God's Salvation in Christ Jesus! God Bless. This post has been edited by unknown warrior: Mar 31 2016, 09:01 AM |

QUOTE(Sophiera @ Mar 31 2016, 03:48 PM) Okay guise something pretty surreal happened today. So I've been writing an Undertale fanfiction. Started out as a curiosity of 'hey what if I use my professional skills to make something awesome' In my latest chapter there's a heartwarming scene of forgiveness. Insisting on forgiving despite seeing the worst of your loved ones. And the forgivenees is given freely without needing to earn for it. Then I made a note at the bottom 'I can't help but to see Jesus parallels here if you understand what I mean. If you don't understand, feel free to ask.' Then I went to sleep. When I wake up, I got 7 responses commenting about it. Some said they saw the parallels too. The I had one person actually asking me to explain it more! I ended up witnessing to my readers about the forgiveness of Jesus. Seeds sowed? Hopefully! Yes Definitely. |

I think God usually lead us to do things in the pace we are able to. My goodness, it's so surreal. I still find it hard to believe it happened. And I didn't have enough sleep because the hot weather kacau, so I feel even more dazed. I mean for example not everyone can share the Gospel knocking door to door, house to house. |

Romans 10:10 (NIV) - For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
Blessed Day, Dearly beloved in christ. Today we're continuing on Faith towards God. The Bible says in Acts 20:21 (NASB) - solemnly testifying to both Jews and Greeks of repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. In the Greek, the Word "Towards", which is eis meaning a point of focus........ change our mind toward God. Change our Mind about what? There are many things about God but primarily what did Christ came to do? We know He came to save us and reveal God as a Father. We are to change our mind in essence that God is for us, not out to get us..his own children. With that being said, the New Covenant confession is a confession of Faith towards God that we are saved. (Romans 10:10) which is the Main Text in Today's Devotion. According to Romans 10:10 we are justified when we believe in Faith in Christ, by the confession of our mouth not by our works, neither is repentance or confession of Sins. Now do not misunderstand. When we first accept Christ, we confessed that we are sinners and needed his Grace and His Blood atonement for our sins. Valid! Here we must confess we are Sinners because that is what the Bible says about our State of being Prior to accepting Christ. But Here is also where most Christians missed it. At THIS POINT IN junction, AFTER Accepting Christ, we need to understand the Blood of Jesus is Divine Atonement, it is not the same as the atonement of Bulls or Goat of the OT where it is Temporal, The Blood of CHrist is a once and for all Atonement, Christ does not Come down to be nailed at the cross everytime to atone for every sins. This is also mentioned in the Bible. When you understand and have this revelation, everytime you fall or fail as a believer, your State of Righteousness does not change. But What do you do as a believer? Keep on confessing that you're a sinner? No, you dishonour the Work of Christ. Keep on Confessing that Your Righteousness is of Christ. Your Actions Does not merit you Righteousness. Romans 5:19 (NIV) Says For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous. Do you see that? It is Christ Obedience and Christ Obedience alone that makes you Righteous! So As a New Covenant Believer, KEEP on Confessing The Righteousness of Faith in Christ. Doing that will Move God's Holy Spirit to work in your Life and Change your character according to the confession of your Mouth! This how the Kingdom of God Works in the New Covenant. And Faith according to Hebrews 11 is the confidence of things not seen...meaning even though your actions may not yet match the Righteous Life but when we act in Faith that we are Righteous in Christ, God Moves in to confirm and work according to your Faith! Hope this will help you dear Friends. God Bless. |

QUOTE(Enigmatic @ Apr 1 2016, 11:31 AM) Hi unknown warrior - I am approaching this from the context of confession in prayer - In this case do we still confess our sins in prayer, or is it that we should only shy away from condemning ourselves as sinners in prayer? Confess and Judged the Sin has been paid for in the body of Jesus Christ. Confess that you are Righteous in Christ.As I've mentioned in this devotion, when you have the right type of Faith, God goes into work transforming your life. That is the Right Perspective as a New Covenant Believer. |

QUOTE(Enigmatic @ Apr 1 2016, 11:33 PM) Interestingly the bible does not say something around the lines of "if your faith is strong you will not feel unwanted sexual arousal". The thing about fleeing sexual temptation is not to get yourself purposely aroused in the first place. I mean if you can avoid, then avoid.Instead the bible gives us these verses: 1 Corinthians 6:18 Genesis 39:12 (story of Joseph and Potiphar's wife) And also the following verse - indicating He will provide us with a way of escape and resist temptation, but never to not feel temptation itself. 1 Corinthians 10:13 I guess I also fall under the old uncle category. Haha. The thing that always gets Christian trap and lament afterwards why I just can't stop Lust .....is the problem of self confidence of "I can handle it". |

Luffy & Tina,
You guys are missing the point. It's not about judging / criticizing what you wear, In Fact I didn't. It's about being mindful that whatever we do, don't stumble other Christians. Have you not read Romans 14? It talks about as what I was trying to say: Don't put an obstacle for the weaker conscious Christian which may cause him/her to fall. As Christians, we cannot say, I don't care about other people, moreover other bro or sis. |

Hebrews 12:10 (KJV) - For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
Good Morning Guys. I've learned that sometimes uncomfortable challenges comes our way to shape us for our good because God Loves us. Our Earthly Parent discipline us UP to what they know is best but our Heavenly father does this for our eternity good. And God uses People, sometimes your bosses or the people that you don't like as thorn in the flesh for that purpose. One thing I want to make clear, God will NEVER discipline us with Car wrecks or Health sickness. Some people teaches that God allow us to experience terminal illness to chasten us. I wonder what will they say If I pray God to bestow them with car accident or terminal cancer if they believe that to be true. Dear Friends we need to have spiritual intelligence of understanding and dividing correctly how God discipline us under the New Covenant. Today's Text come from Hebrews 12:10. Now, some people read the last part of the verse above like this: That we might learn to be Holy. Stop! It doesn't say that. God chastened us for our profit because we partake in Christ's Holiness and Righteousness. Christ is our righteousness. Notice the word HIS holiness, not YOUR holiness? God changed our status from being a sinner to Righteous in Christ at the cross because we believe in Christ. God CREDITED Righteousness to our account. Always remember this covenant and not get confused with the OT way of righteousness through our actions which we are no longer under. Another thing you need to know is that you can only partake Christ Righteousness when you empty yourself of all self righteousness through your own obedience. Some of us are still confident that we are made righteous because we obey and restrain oneself from sinning. God would not have that OT revelation live in us because it robs us his blessings and of Abraham's Blessing which God promise will come via Faith. Anyway you may ask me, If we are already made Righteousness, why does God still chastened us or discipline us? The answer is because our actions is still be far from the expected Life of Heaven. That is why the training is needed. God does this, not to determine our status of righteousness. This disciplining is needed because we are being shaped to live eternally in Heaven. Heaven is a place void of lust of pornography, theft, war, strife, etc. If that is how we are to live, might as well get use to it NOW. The Later you wait, the longer it'll take to get use to. Hope with this devotion, you'll have a better perspective of eternity. God Bless. |

QUOTE(Sophiera @ Apr 6 2016, 11:45 PM) It comes mainly from these thoughts.I prayed for Healing but God doesn't heal, so it must be his will for the person to be sick, etc or I prayed for Protection but God did not protect, so it must be his will for the person to be in tragedy. But if we know the word of God....This is far from who God is. |
