So now we have Jesus Christ, who lived a life we could not live and He died a death we could not die. So now we have Christ righteousness added to us and atonement for our sins so we can do what Isaiah did, approach the throne as a royal priesthood (1 Peter, 1 Peter 2:1-12).

Romans 12 1Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual[a] act of worship. 2Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

If you will not receive the conviction and correction of the Holy Spirit; God will break you (Psalms 51:1-17).

Baptism don’t cause regeneration, repentance and salvation; after all of those things happen first then you get baptized.

2 seconds Left, No Timeouts

As Christians we all come to that place in life were we truly can relate to Job and his ordeal. We have questioned God as to His motives for such heartache. At this point all hope seems to be lost. None of the scriptures and all of our friends words of encouragement just fall to … Continue reading →
