In my previous post I addressed the mistaken concept among many people that the eternal destiny of the people of God is to go to a physical heavenly mansion. Such a misconception results in a serious misaiming in our living today. In this post, I will focus on three passages—Genesis 2, 1 Corinthians 3 and […]
“In my Father’s house are many abodes (KJV, mansions)¸ if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you.” (John 14:2) Recently a subscriber, commenting on my previous post, “Heaven or the New Jerusalem is there a difference?” asked “Is Jesus not the Carpenter? I heard […]
Many believers unintentionally consider the New Jerusalem to be heaven. But are they? Can heaven or the New Jerusalem be considered the same? For example, when I was a child, I remember singing a song that says: “I’ve got a mansion just over the hill top in that bright land where we’ll never grow old and some day […]
Ho! Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters! This cry in Isaiah 55:1 expresses the highest gospel, revealing God’s heart’s desire toward man, that is, that God Himself is the living waters for man to drink, and be filled with in order to express God in His rich, overflowing life. “And a river went forth from […]
How does God desire that we would live in order to please Him? Does the Bible reveal principles by which we should direct our lives? In the book of Genesis, the first book of the Bible, we can find the seeds of the divine truth which develop throughout the entire Bible. There we can see […]
One of the most familiar and favorite Biblical passages of Bible readers is Psalm 23. This psalm has often been quoted during times of trial and grief providing consolation to many a troubled soul. Yet, today my appreciation for this psalm is not for the unspeakable personal comfort it affords, but for its application […]
In this post I will continue my fellowship regarding the daily exercise of the Christian to breathe in the Lord. Such a wonderful experience of spiritual breathing can be considered the “unceasingly pray” the Apostle Paul mentioned in 1 Thessalonians 5:17. For although, we cannot be on our knees continually, nor can we make intercessions […]
“Exercise yourself unto godliness.” (1 Tim. 4:7) “…Godliness is Christ lived out of us to be the manifestation of God…Today this very Christ is the Spirit dwelling in our spirit (2 Cor. 3:17; Rom. 8:9-10; 2 Tim. 4:22). Hence to exercise ourselves unto godliness is to exercise our spirit to live Christ in our daily […]
“The Spirit Himself witnesses with our spirit” Rom. 8:16 In my last post I took a break from my focus on the Word to testify of three proofs from the Scriptures that have helped me to have the assurance of my salvation. The most decisive proof in my own experience was the witnessing of the […]
“How can I be sure I’m saved?” This was the question that came up in my heart as a young Christian and one that I believe troubles many just like it troubled me. I knew that the Bible was God’s word and that if someone believed in the Lord Jesus they would be saved and […]
