Grace is what secured redemption for us. Redemption is not just forgiveness of sin, it is deliverance from sin. It is what enables a person to live holy and above sin as Titus 2:11-12 says. That which brings people who are dead in their trespasses makes them alive and then goes ahead to seat them in Christ far above all heavens while securing them eternal relevance in…

1 Samuel 2:8 KJV “He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s, and He hath set the world upon them.” In this passage, we are told of a lovely redemptive work that God does — a work that He is able and willing…

When an individual is dirty, it makes no sense to run away from the one who can clean him up. Jesus longs for us to return to Him. He even leaves 99 sheep to go after a missing one.

The call to immortality and incorruptibility is to all who believe in Christ, but not all will attain to it. This was why Paul said in 1 corinthians 9:27 that he puts his body under so that after he has served, he does not become a castaway. This does not necessarily mean him going to hell, but him gnashing his teeth when he sees his brethren in realms in Glory that he…

Philippians 2:5-11 KJV [5] Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: [6] Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: [7] But made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: [8] And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death,…

Look around you at the sun, moon, constellations, etc. All this was created and is upheld by the Word of God in Genesis 1, “let there be…”. If the cosmos can be sustained by His word, how much more should we have confidence in Him that has said that it is His pleasure to give us the Kingdom.

Our High King speaks peaceably to His Church words of affirmation and correction and counsel, that He may present her to Himself a glorious bride. Isaiah 50:4, speaking prophetically of Christ says He speaks a word in season to him that is weary. To those of a fearful heart, He says fear not, Your God will come and save.

Being children of a God, who is Spirit as John 3:6 says, it makes sense that as spirits ourselves, everything we do is spiritual. Life then takes an exciting twist every day once we decide to make an effort to interact with the Spiritual that is in and all around us as much or even more than the physical world we see.

For he raised us from the dead along with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:6 NLT The idea of heaven is largely misunderstood by the majority of Christendom today. Paul says in the above verse that we are, right now, raised and sited in heavenly realms with Christ Jesus. If this is the case, where is…

The more earthly-minded you are, the more ground you will give for the serpent to prey on you. The curse to the serpent is that he will feed on the dust, he is bound to the earth Genesis 3:14. Romans 8:6 KJV says “For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.”
