PROMISE

The premise and promise of the Gospel, Best News Ever is the grace of God

expressed in Jesus Christ’s redemptive passion, death and resurrection.

 His amazing love!

Are we expounding a religious concept based on human effort?

Is this a philosophical concept? A doctrine? A theory?

Is human life limited by human potentiality?

When you reach the end of the line what else is there?

What is beyond human wisdom and human life as we know it?

Clearly, God has prepared a table for us full of glory, His glory, eternal rewards,

grace, sonship, endless joy, triumph, fulfillment and happiness.

He has provided answers to our deepest and unexpressed yearnings.

He has given us direction beyond human curiosity, comprehension, above

intelligence and accomplishments surpassing our fondest dreams.

The beginning of true wisdom is deep reverence for God, recognizing that

we are mere sinful mortals.

Our existential quest encounters the reality that we are sinners and all come

short of the glory of God. We need to see ourselves as God sees.

We are desperate apart from Him.

No one can deny the fact of our intrinsic fallibility and mortality,

yet we all have this yearning for permanence and eternity.

We seek what Jesus told Nicodemus: a new birth. The spiritual rebirth.

The Eternal God wants us in His eternal Kingdom and is recreating

us through His Eternal Spirit, in Christ Jesus the Eternal Son.

“Jesus told him, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, that unless

a person is born again, anew,from above,

he can never see the Kingdom of God.”

Nicodemus said to Him, How can a man be born when he is old?

Can he enter his mother’s womb again and be born?

Jesus answered, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you,

unless a man is born of water and the Spirit,

he can not enter the Kingdom of God.

What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Marvel not at My telling you, You must all be born anew.

The wind blows where it wills, and though you hear its sound, yet you

neither know where it comes from nor where it is going.

So it is everyone who is born of the Spirit.

Nicodemus answered by asking, How can all this be possible?

Jesus replied, Are you a teacher of Israel, and yet do not know or understand

these things?

I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, We speak of what we know,

we have actually seen what we are testifying to.

And still you do not receive our testimony.

I have told you of things that happen right here on the earth

and yet none of you believes Me,

how can you believe if I tell you of heavenly things?

And yet no one has ever gone up to heaven, but there is One Who

has come down from heaven- the Son of Man,

Who has His home in heaven.

And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert (on a pole),

so must the Son of Man be lifted up

(on the cross).

In order that everyone who believes in Him, trusts Him and relies on Him

 may not perish, but have eternal life and live forever!

For God so loved and dearly prized the world that He (even) gave His only

begotten (unique) Son,so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on)

Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have everlasting life.

For God did not send the Son into the world in order to judge (to reject, to

condemn, to pass sentence on) the world, but that the world might

find salvation and be made safe and sound through Him.

He who believes in Him is not judged ( he who trusts in Him never comes

up for  judgment: for him there is no rejection, no condemnation-

he incurs no damnation), but he who does not believe (cleave to, rely on,

trust in Him) is judged already (he has already been convicted and has already

received his sentence) because he has not believed in and trusted in the

name of the only begotten Son of God.

The basis of the judgment by which men are judged lies in this: the Light

has come into the world, and people have loved the darkness

rather than and more than the Light, for their works were evil.

For every wrongdoer hates the Light, and will not come out into

the Light but shrinks from it, lest his works (his deeds, activities and conduct)

be exposed and reproved.

But he who practices truth (who does what is right) comes out into the Light so

that his works may be plainly shown to be what they are-

wrought with God (divinely prompted, done with God’s help,in

dependence upon Him).

(John3.3-21).

The new birth, of the water and of the Spirit is the only way to see, experience

and know God’s Kingdom.

Because He is Spirit and those who come to Him must worship Him in Spirit

 and in Truth. The Holy Spirit makes intercession for us according to God’s will.

He helps us in our weakness, He comforts us.

He makes us conform to Jesus Christ. The Spirit shed abroad in our hearts makes

us know that now we are the sons of God.

We have received the Spirit of adoption, wisdom and revelation in Christ Jesus

or Lord. The Holy Spirit helps us in our infirmities, makes us holy and whole.

The Spirit convicts us of sin, yet the Law of the Spirit has set us free from

the law of sin and death, the vicious course, the curse of fallen humanity.

He sets us free from the carnal mind which is contrary to God.

The Spirit makes us truly alive, eternally alive.

He sets us free from the boundaries of physical existence.

He transposes us into the realm of God. Thus positioned we can continue our discovery

in delight, our understanding of limitless Life, Love and Light, the fulfillment of God’s Fullness.

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

Confession

“This is the message of promise which we have heard from Him and now

are reporting to you: God is Light, and there is no darkness in Him.

If we say we are partakers together and enjoy fellowship with Him when

we live in darkness, we are speaking falsely and do not live the Truth.

But, if we are living and walking in the Light, as He is in the Light, we have

fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses

us from all sin .

If we say we have no sin, we delude ourselves, and the Truth is not in us.

If we admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just

and will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

(I.John 1.5-9).

This is the basis of Christian growth.

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

THE GREAT REST

“And it shall be in that day that the Root of Jesse

shall stand as a signal for the peoples,

of Him shall the nations inquire and seek knowledge,

and His dwelling shall be glory

(His rest glorious)!”

(Isaiah 11.10).

“Therefore, while the promise of entering His rest still holds

and is offered today, let us fear to distrust it

lest any of you should come short of reaching it.

For indeed we have had the glad tidings (The Best News Ever)

proclaimed to us just as truly as they (the Israelites of old

did when the good news of deliverance from bondage came

to them), but the message they heard did not

benefit them, because it was not mixed with faith

(with the absolute trust and confidence in God’s

power, wisdom and goodness) by those who heard it,

neither were they united in faith with the ones

(Joshua and Caleb) who heard (did believe).

For we who have believed ( trusted in and relied on God)

do enter that rest in accordance with His declaration that

those who did not believe should not enter when He said,

As I swore in My wrath, They shall not enter My rest;

and this He said although (His works had been completed and

prepared and waiting for all who would believe) from the

foundation of the world.

For in a certain place He has said this about the seventh day:

And God rested on the seventh day from all His works.

And they forfeited their part in it, for in this passage He said,

They shall not enter My rest.

Seeing that the promise remains over (from past times) for

some to enter that rest, and that those who formerly were

given the  good news about it and the opportunity,

failed to seize it and did not enter because of

disobedience,

Again He sets a definite day, Today, and gives another

opportunity of securing that rest, saying through

David after so long a time in the words already quoted,

Today, if you would hear His voice and when you

hear it, do not harden your hearts.

This mention of a rest was not a reference to their

entering into Canaan. For if Joshua had given them rest,

He (God) would not speak afterward about another day.

So then, there is still awaiting a full and complete

Sabbath-rest reserved for the true people of God;

For he who has entered God’s rest also has ceased

from the (weariness and pain) of human labors,

just as God rested from  those labors peculiarly

His own.

Let us therefore be zealous and exert ourselves and

strive diligently to enter that rest (of God,

to know and experience it for ourselves), that no

one may fall or perish by the same kind of unbelief

and disobedience (into which those in the wilderness fell).

For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power

(making it active, operative, energizing and

effective); it is sharper than any two-edged sword,

penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of

life and spirit, and of joints and marrow, exposing

and sifting, analyzing and judging the very thoughts

and purposes of the heart.

And not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight,

but all things are open and exposed, naked

and defenseless to the eyes of Him with Whom we have to do.

Inasmuch as we have a High Priest Who has already ascended

and passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God,

let us hold fast our confession.

For we do not have a High Priest Who is unable to understand

and sympathize with our weaknesses and infirmities and

liability to the assaults of temptation, but One Who has been

tempted in every respect as we are, yet without sinning.

Let us then fearlessly and confidently and boldly draw near

 to the throne of grace (the throne of God’s unmerited favor

to us sinners), that we may receive mercy (for our failures)

and find grace to help in time for every need.”

(Hebrews 4.1-16).

“All things have been entrusted and delivered to Me by my

Father, and no one fully knows the Son except the Father

and no one fully knows the Father except the Son and

anyone to whom the Son makes Him known.

Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and

overburdened, and I will cause you

to rest.

Take my yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am gentle and

humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls

For my yoke is wholesome and My burden is light and easy to be

borne.”

(Matthew 11.27-30).

THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is,

in my flesh.

I can will what is right, but I cannot perform it.

(I have the intention and urge to do what is right,

but no power to carry it out).

For I fail to practice the good deeds I desire to do,

but the evil deeds that I do not desire to do are

what I find myself doing.

Now if I do what I do not desire to do, it is no

longer I doing it but the sin principle that dwells

in me.

So I find it to be a law that when I want to do what is

right and good, evil is ever present with me and

I am subject to it.

For I endorse and delight in the Law of God in my

innermost self.

But I discern in my bodily members a different law

at war against the law of my mind and making me

a prisoner to the law of sin that dwells in my body.

O wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me out

of this body of death? I thank God through

Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself

serve the Law of God,

but with the flesh the law of sin.

(Romans 7.18-25).

We all face the same dilemma.

The most we can muster up and the best we can

do is still short of the glory of God.

There must be a willingness to do good an to obey

God in us.

The Law points us in that direction.

However, due to the EGO, the selfish human nature

it is humanly impossible to fulfill

the righteous requirements of the Law.

Thus, everyone fails and falls short of the glory of God.

We must surrender any idea or false notion

that human endeavor, enterprise or effort can

impress God.

The sinful nature is present even when we try to do our best.

The solution to this problem is to realize God’s answer.

It is loud and clear.

We need to recognize with St. Paul our most fundamental

flaw:

“O wretched man that I am!”

The sooner you recognize your problem the better.

The need for deliverance is clear!

“Who shall deliver me out of this body of death?”

There is nothing we can humanly do to escape this

body of death.

The sooner we realize this the sooner we understand

THE WAY OUT:

“I THANK GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD!”

Yes. This is THE ONLY WAY out of our collective and individual

predicament.

We are not what we should be and we are what we should not be.

We try to be good and do good,

but we have a serious and deadly problem.

We are only men and women.

We are totally helpless and mortal.

On the other hand, Jesus Christ is MAN and GOD.

He is fully God and fully man.

He is totally divine and completely human.

He is unique. He is able. He can. Yes.

He truly can.

He is the Only Person who stands astride the physical

and the spiritual.

He has passed from death to life.

He has conquered sin and death.

He has the victory. He is the door.

He is the key. He is the only way.

He is the end of the death sentence which

comes from the Law.

He is Life eternal.

In God’s total freedom to be and to create,

He has made it possible for us to be identified

with Him.

Yes we are wretched on our own.

Yes we are saved through Him.

We are what we should be only in Him.

That’s why Jesus says that He is the vine and we

are the branches. We can live as we abide in Him.

Fully and abundantly. Forever.

Apart from Him we are nothing.

With Him and through

Him we have His victory!

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

Radical Transformation

Are you ignorant of the fact that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized unto His death?

We were buried therefore with Him by  baptism into death, so that just as Christ was raised from the dead by

the glorious power of the Father, so we too might live and behave in newness of life.

For if we have become one with Him by sharing a death like His, we shall also be one with Him in sharing His

resurrection by a new life lived for God.

We know that our old self was nailed to the cross with Him in order that our body which is the instrument of

sin might be made ineffective and inactive for evil, that we might no longer be slaves of sin.

For when a man dies, he is loosed from the power of sin among men.

Now if we have died with Christ, we  believe that we shall also live with Him.

Because we know that Christ (the Anointed One), being once  raised from the dead will never die again;

death no longer has any power over Him.

For the death He died, He died to sin, ending His relation to it, once for all; and the life that He lives,

He is living to God in unbroken fellowship with Him.

Even so consider yourselves also dead to sin and your relationship to it broken, but alive to God in

unbroken relationship with Him) in Christ Jesus.

(Romans 6.3-11).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

ATONEMENT

Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, Whom God has set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed,to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.(Romans 3.24-26).

In the Old Testament the mercy seat was covered by the wings of two angel figures which are called cherubim. The ark of the covenant was kept where once a year on the Day of Atonement the high priest sprinkled blood to make atonement for the people. This illustrated what Jesus as the eternal High Priest did with His own blood to make atonement once for all. Hebrews chapter 9 explains the atonement of Jesus Christ in view of the Old Testament. Also St.Paul says: ” Now all things are of  God, Who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation.That is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. Now then, we are ambassadors  f0r Christ, as though God was pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. For He made Him Who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. (II. Corinthians 5. 18-21). The New Covenant is ratified with the body and blood of Jesus Christ:” Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread and praising God, gave thanks and asked Him to bless it to their use and when he had broken it, He gave it to the disciples and said, Take, eat, this is my body. And He took a cup, and when He had given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, Drink of it , all of you; For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is being poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.(Matthew 26. 26-28).

Jesus Christ is the Bread of Life. He is the Bread that gives Life, the Living Bread. “I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, he who believes in Me, has eternal life.I am the Bread of Life (that gives life, the Living Bread). Your forefathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and yet they died. But this is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it and never die. I am this Living Bread that came down from heaven.If anyone eats of this Bread, he will live forever; and also the Bread that I shall give for the life of the world is My body. (John 6.47-51). We have the Lord here in the Holy Communion. The Kingdom of God has come and redemption is here. His death on the Cross is the salvation of mankind. His resurrection is newness of life. The invisible God is visible in His action of redemption, His saving power. The awesome presence of God’s grace in the midst of a dying and suffering world is manifested. This radical action of God requires nothing less than total transformation of the hearts of men, humanly impossible yet accomplished by Him. Our past is redeemed. our present restored and our future revealed:

“Always carrying about in the body the liability and exposure to the same putting to death that the Lord Jesus suffered, so that the resurrection life of Jesus also may be shown forth by and in our bodies.” (II. Corinthians 4.10).

Assured that He Who raised up the Lord Jesus will raise us up also with Jesus and bring us with you into His presence. For all these things are taking place for your sake, so that the more grace extends to more and more people and multiplies through the many, the more thanksgiving may increase to the glory of God. Therefore we do not become discouraged. Though our outer man is decaying and wasting away, yet our inner self is being renewed day after day. For our light, momentary affliction is ever more abundantly preparing and producing and achieving for us an eternal weight of glory (beyond all measure, excessively surpassing all comparisons and calculations, a vast and transcendent glory and blessedness never to fade away! Since we consider and look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are visible are temporal brief and fleeting, but the things that are invisible are deathless and everlasting. For we know that if the tent which is our earthly home is destroyed, we have from God a building,a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. Here indeed, in this present abode, body, we sigh and groan inwardly, because we yearn to be clothed over (we yearn to put on our celestial body like a garment to be fitted out) with our heavenly dwelling, So that by putting it on we may not be found naked. For while we are still in this tent, we groan under the burden and sigh deeply not that we want to put off the body (the clothing of the Spirit), but rather that we would be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. Now He Who has fashioned us for this very thing is God, Who has also given us the Holy Spirit as a guarantee. So then, we are always full of good and hopeful and confident courage; we know that while we are at home in the body, we are abroad from the home with the Lord. For we walk by faith nor by sight.

Yes we have confident and hopeful courage and are pleased rather to be away from home out of the body and be at home with the Lord.  Therefore , whether we are at home or away from home, we are constantly striving to be pleasing to Him. For we must all appear and be revealed as we are before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each may receive according to what he has done in the body, whether good or evil. Therefore, being conscious of fearing the Lord with respect and reverence, we seek to win people over. But what sort of persons we are is plainly recognized and thoroughly understood by God, and I hope it is plainly recognized and thoroughly understood also by your consciences.(II. Corinthians 4.14-18 and 5.1-11).

The  great mercy and grace of God manifested in Christ Jesus here and now is announced and secured in the Holy Communion. We are brought to oneness, wholeness and holiness with Him.

AMAZING GRACE! PRAISE THE LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

The rule of Jesus Christ in your personal life is the foundation of

Kingdom culture.

The sovereignty and reign of Jesus Christ over our thoughts,

values, decisions and actions determine the direction of your life.

This starts with: ” Seek you first the Kingdom of God and

His righteousness and everything will be added to you.”

This determination declares: Hallowed be Thy name!

Thy Kingdom come! Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven!”

This commitment stands for the Son of man Who proclaims that

 ”whoever seeks to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses

his life will preserve it.”

This decision stands with the Son of man who announced : ” whoever

does the will of God is My brother and My sister and mother.”

This devotion means

” whoever desires to come after Me,

let him deny himself, and take up his cross and

follow Me.”

This dedication says ” whoever desires to be great among

you shall be your servant.

And whoever of you desires to be first shall be slave of all.

For even the Son of Man did not come to be served,

but to serve and to give His life a ransom for many.”

Kingdom culture is the rule of Jesus Christ over

every creature to make the new creation

free and whole. Kingdom culture is the Beginning of

the End and the End of the Beginning

through Him Who is the First and the Last,

Alpha and Omega Who folds time into Eternity

and space is translated to the New Heaven and

the New Earth where the knowledge of God

fills the world as oceans are full of water.

Darkness is dispelled and Light permeates every

living organism. Jesus Christ is that Light.

Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace

among men in whom He is pleased to dwell!

Jesus Christ is lifted up, to draw all men to Him.

The Stone which was rejected has become the chief

corner Stone.

The Stone which was cut without human hands,

the Stone that smote the image of iron, clay, bronze, silver and gold.

The Stone that broke the image and scattered all that opposed it as

chaff in the wind. The Stone that became a great mountain

and filled the entire world. Kingdom culture which shall never

be destroyed, nor will its rule be left to others;

but it shall break and crush and consume every other

rule, dominion or kingdom and this Kingdom, the

Kingdom of Jesus Christ, The Kingdom of God

shall stand forever.

The Son of man, the Ancient of days Daniel saw in

the night visions will rule as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

His dominion and glory and Kingdom is for all peoples,

nations and languages to serve Him

Who made us and suffered for us and died for us and rose for us.

His dominion is an everlasting dominion

which shall not pass away, and His Kingdom is one which

shall never be destroyed.

The saints of the Most High shall receive the Kingdom and

possess the Kingdom forever, even forever and ever.

Satan as lightning falls  down, his power and rule end.

The Kingdom of God is announced as the blind receive

their sight,  the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf

hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel

preached to them; and blessed is he who is not offended in

Jesus Christ.

Blessed are those who hear Best News Ever and see in the

ministry of Jesus the Kingdom of heaven which starts as

small as a mustard seed and becomes

a huge tree that houses the birds of the air.

Blessed are those who look forward to the Kingdom of

heaven which starts out as leaven that is hid in three

measures of meal till the entirety was leavened.

Blessed are those who esteem the Kingdom of heaven

as the pearl of greatest price, as the field where

the treasure was hidden and as the dragnet that catches

a great catch to keep the good but to

throw away the wicked to the fire.

Kingdom culture is the end of human power and wisdom,

but the rescue of humanity.

Thanks be to God Who gives us His victory through our

Lord Jesus Christ!

HALLELUJAH! PRAISE GOD FOREVERMORE!

God’s promise is certain. His Kingdom is everlasting.

We are justified by faith through grace.

Grace is God’s free will. Grace is God’s generosity and favor.

Grace is God’s will to accept us in the Beloved.

His promise is that we shall see Him as He is,

for we shall be like Him.

We shall be changed in an  instant, this mortal shall put on

immortality and the dead shall be raised incorruptible.

Death is swallowed up in victory.

The Truth of God marches on. The Truth of God prevails.

The Truth of God is forever.

Grace is God’s glory and power.

God’s promise is the new creation, the new man, the

new nature, new heaven and new earth wherein righteousness dwells.

God’s promise is His Kingdom, invisible yet absolute.

God’s promise is eternal life through Jesus Christ our

Lord and Savior.

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

We are created in Christ Jesus for good works which He

has prepared beforehand.

We are a new creation in Christ Jesus to exhibit

His praises.

He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness

and transferred us into His Kingdom of light.

In the beginning the Word created absolutely everything 

and He is now creating a new creation,

an eternal order: spiritual, holy and permanent.

This new creation and new order is physically invisible.

It is indestructible.

It is invincible. It is infinite. It is immortal.

It is incorruptible.

It is God’s answer to human frailty, suffering, pain, agony,

loneliness, depression, fears and tears.

Despite untold misery, death, destruction and desperation

throughout history, it is coming.

The new creation is created by the Word Who also created everything.

We and the entire universe await the manifestation of the new creation.

We await the new heaven and new earth.

The Kingdom of God is proclaimed. Salvation has come.

Jesus Christ is our salvation. Our life is hid with Christ in God.

The Kingdom is at hand.

God’s mercy is revealed. God’s grace is the basis of love, faith

and hope.

Having freely been justified by His grace we stand and believe.

We declare that God’s righteousness revealed in Jesus Christ is

now ours because His word declares this.

We believe because God has spoken.

We believe because it is written: ” That your

faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the

power of God.

However we speak wisdom among those who are mature,

yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers

of this age, who are coming to nothing.

But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the

hidden wisdom which God ordained

before the ages for our glory,

Which none of the rulers of this age knew,

for had they known they would not have crucified

the Lord of glory.

But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,

nor have entered into the heart of man the

things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”

But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit.

For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the

deep things of God.

For what a man knows the things of a man except

the spirit of the man which is in him?

Even so no one knows the things of God except the

Spirit of God.

Now we have received, not the spirit not the world, 

but the Spirit Who is from God, that

we might know the things that have been freely given

to us by God.

These things we also speak, not in words which man’s

wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches,

comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

But the natural man does not receive the things of the

Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him,

nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

But the he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is

rightly judged by no one.

For “who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?”

But we have the mind of Christ.

(I. Corinthians2.6-16).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

 But now the righteousness of God

apart from the law is revealed,

being witnessed by the Law

and the Prophets,

Even the righteousness of God, through faith

in Jesus Christ to all and on all who believe.

For there is no difference,

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory

of God.

Being justified freely by His grace through the

redemption that is in Christ Jesus

(Romans 3.21-24).

We see that because every human effort to bridge

the gap between God’s  glory and humanity

not only falls short, but is counter-productive,

separates humans and is against God’s action for

peace between Him and Man.

We and all mankind are sinners who have redemption

through Jesus Christ.

We also realize that sin separates us from God and we are

helpless to overcome the separation that comes

from sinfulness. This awareness prompts us to repent

and receive the grace of God through faith.

Forgiveness of sin is only on the basis of repentance and faith in

Jesus Christ.

Salvation is possible only through Jesus Christ.

This is simply recognition of facts on the basis of God’s word,

because faith comes from hearing and hearing  the word of God.

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS!
