False religion tells us that the Blessings of Salvation through Christ are conditioned upon man doing something first, like repentance or believing. However thats contrary to truth, for those who were chosen in Christ before the foundation have been given many spiritual blessings before they...

Now since believing, the result of God given Faith is a work, that is an act of the mind, the heart and will, if men teach they are saved or justified before God because of their act of believing, while yet unregenerate and in a state of nature, then in essence they're saying that they were...

Here's another scripture that indicates faith has an element of action to it. Jesus says in Mk 11:22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. This is an imperative that requires action The imperative mood corresponds to the English imperative, and expresses a command to the...

If and when someone teaches that salvation/justification is based upon a condition performed by man, like faith or repentance, water baptism, its synonymous to teaching that they are justified/saved by a law, a work of theirs, so by their merit, which is contrary to grace, Rom 4:4 4 Now to him...

So once again, thats why the redeemed shall believe, since they receive the Spirit with Spiritual Life which produces Faith/Believing. in Vs 22 of 1 Pet 1 it reads 22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye...

So as a consequence of the Spirit giving the redeemed Spiritual Life from Christ, they are enabled to believe , embrace, trust in the Good news of their Salvation, because Faith is the fruit of Christs Spirit dwelling in them Gal 5:22 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace...

What's redemption through Christ ? Its also Justification freely, notice Rom 3:24 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: This is an unbelievable result from redemption, that religionist cant accept, and that's if Christ died for one, they are...

Annexed with this redemption through Christ, strictly by His death is forgiveness of sins. Lets look at two scriptures where this is true Eph 1:7 7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Col 1:14 14 In whom we have...

The word for redemption in my text is the greek word apolutrósis which means: a release effected by payment of ransom Usage: release effected by payment of ransom; redemption, deliverance. Primarily this denotes a release, liberation from being under the Law, its curse, its penalty of death...

1 Cor 1:30 30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: See also Rom 3:24;Eph 1:7;Col 1:14

1 Tim 2:5 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Was Christ Jesus the Man the Mediator for Adam ? I believe the scripture supports the idea that Christ Jesus the Mediator existed before Adam, even before the highest parts of the earth came into...

Rom 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Now most religionist would tell us that this verse is teaching conditional salvation, conditioned on a lost sinner. Doesn't that sound odd ? Thats saying that a lost sinner if they call upon the name of the lord, that...

Yes it does, for it reads that Christ died for our sins according to scripture. Now what scripture ? During that time scripture was the OT, the law and the prophets. Lk 24:44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be...

Rom 11:5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. In this scripture Paul is specifically referring to some of his kinsmen according to the flesh. Now however that said, its a mistake to limit the remnant according to the election of grace to...

Matt 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. The Faith of Gods elect will receive this most blessed truth with a child like faith. See babe, son that was brought forth was not only a...

Rom 4:5,9 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness. Folks...

To say or even imply that Christ is merely a potential Saviour is a repudiation of the fact that its promised He shall save His People from their sins Matt 1:21 21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus for he shall save his people from their sins. Mans religion...

Like Faith, True Repentance is from a Spiritual Source, its the Gift of God, not of works lest any man should boast. Repentance thats towards God can be that which leadeth to Godly sorrow 2 Cor 7:10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the...
