FAITHFUL

No temptation has overtaken you

except as is common to man; but

God is faithful, Who will not allow

you to be tempted beyond what

you are able, but with the

temptation will also make

the way to escape, that you

may be able to bear it.

(I. Corinthians 10.13).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

FIRST

Thus it is written, The first man Adam became

a living being. The last Adam (Christ) became

a life giving Spirit (restoring the dead to life).

(I. Corinthians 15.45).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

CROWNED WITH GLORY

It is not to angels that He has subjected the

world to come, about which we are speaking.

But there is a place where someone has  testified:

“What is man that You are mindful of Him, the

son of man that You care for him?

You made him a little lower than the angels;

You crowned him with glory and honor

and put everything under his feet.”

In putting everything under him, God left

nothing that is not subject to him.

Yet at present we do not see everything

subject to him. But we see Jesus, Who was made

a little lower than the angels, now crowned

with glory and honor because He … Continue Reading

CREDITED

Now when a man works, his wages are not

credited to him as a gift, but as an obligation.

However, to the man who does not work but

trusts God Who justifies the wicked, his faith

is credited as righteousness.

(Romans 4.4 & 5).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

BLESSEDNESS

David says the same thing when he speaks of the

blessedness of the man to whom God credits

righteousness  apart from works:

“Blessed are they whose transgressions

are forgiven,

whose sins are covered.

Blessed is the man whose sin

the Lord will never count against him.”

(Romans 4.6-8).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

GOD IS FAITHFUL

No temptation has seized you except what is common to man.

And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what

you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a

way out so that you can stand up under it.

(I. Corinthians 10.13).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

ALIVE

For since death came trough a man, the resurrection of the dead comes

also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ will all be made alive.

But each in his own turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when He comes, those

who belong to Him. Then the end will come, when He hands over the kingdom

to God the Father after He has destroyed all dominion, authority and power.

For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet. The last

enemy to be destroyed is death. For He has put everything under His feet.

Now when it says … Continue Reading

THE SPIRITUAL

If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.

So it is written: “The first man became s living being”,

the last Adam, a life-giving spirit.

The spiritual did not come first, but the natural and after

that the spiritual. The first man was of the dust of the earth,

the second man from heaven.

As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and

as is the man from heaven, so also are those who are of heaven.

And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so shall

we bear the likeness of the man from heaven.

(I. Corinthians … Continue Reading

ONE CONDITION

Jesus Christ fulfilled the Law and its righteous requirements.

He is also the fulfillment of all the types presented in the Law

which pointed to Him. The Temple, the High Priest, the high

holy days, the sacrifices and offerings all pointed to Him and

culminated in Him. In Him the purpose of the Law, the end

which it was designed to accomplish is fulfilled.

The purpose of the Law is fulfilled in Christ Jesus our Lord and

Savior.

The law was designed as the means of right relationship to God for

everyone who trusts in and adheres to and relies on Him.

“For Moses writes that the man who can … Continue Reading

HOLY EMPOWERMENT

HOLY EMPOWERMENT

May He grant you out of the rich treasury

of His glory to be strengthened and

reinforced with mighty power in the

inner man by the Holy Spirit (Himself

indwelling your innermost being and

personality).

May Christ through your faith actually

reside in your hearts! May you be rooted

deep in love and founded securely on love.

(Ephesians 3.16 and 17).

POINTS FOR MEDITATION

AND PRAISE

1) The HOLY EMPOWERMENT alluded to

here is possible only through the indwelling

of the Holy Spirit in our innermost being.

2) This is how Jesus Christ actually resides

in our hearts permanently. This is when we

become secure in His love and solidly rooted.

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
