Christ explained the new covenant in the fifth chapter of Matthew. 'The chapter starts by explaining everything the Father told us, including laws, is not changed by him. The rest of the chapter explains how the literal, fleshly law is true but is completed by Christ. It is still true we are...

There is no scripture that tells us that our salvation depends on who our parents are. even our adopted parents. Our salvation depends on our faith, not on our parentage.

How inspirational and thought provoking this post is, thanks. It reminds me to reflect my love for people always, any time I have contact with any other. It reminds me to be sure that I wake in the morning with prayers to the one God---God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit to...

For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. John 3:36 This does not tell us to not work, it tells us that the works we are to do is not for our salvation. We are told our works show...

It seems to me that the more I focus on God and accept the earthly situations I am in the happier I am. I'll have lived 100 years in a couple of years, it has taken that long to teach myself to give my day to the Lord within each morning as I wake up. I have consulted Christ about decisions...

For study to understand the spiritual life God has for us I don't think the scripture commentary by Tom Bradford can be beat. This study relates the old testament with the new, it gives different ways different denominations interpret a scripture along with an explanation of how and why Tom...

It is true that our salvation is only through faith. That does not mean that works aren't a most important part of our life as a saved person. Our Lord has much to say about our works. Those whose sin identifies them, like drunkards, or liars, or theifs cannot enter heaven. We establish...

When the Lord offers us so very much, and the demons only offer what is temporary, it doesn't seem worthwhile to accept anything that comes from demons. I was given a prayer shawl. It is large enough that I can use it to completely cover me, it has been blessed, it is made of natural wool...

Such misunderstandings of the Lord! There is nowhere in scripture that we are told to disregard the law, or that we should go ahead and serve our flesh. There are many scriptures telling us to obey the law. If we are Christian, we are under grace for salvation, not law. We are all sinners...

I don't think it is a law made by God that he is first and foremost, but it is certainly a law that it is only through the blood of the lamb that symbolized the blood of Christ that is an acceptable sacrifice to cleanse us of sin. That is what the sacrificial system was all about, the animals...

I find that most Christians are baffled by what they consider a change in the law. It is true that God's people were not to eat certain foods, now that is no longer required, but the spiritual law never changed. Under Moses all law was in stone, it was explained to God's people through the...

We can't live eternally because we live so perfectly, we live only through what Christ did for us, but!!!------oh what a change that makes in us. The words of the Father and Christ become part of us, our goals become more and more spiritual goals instead of fleshly ones, and life becomes very...

You have judged "people" as teaching sinless perfection. Would you back up this judgement of "people" by quoting someone who you say does this. Christ did this, but I have seen people accused of it, but never have I seen anyone who actually did this except Christ. Christ told us what to do...

Do you really believe that God wiped out, got rid of all God agreed to before Christ came? Christ said nothing changed in Matthew 5. Matt 5:17-18 "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.18I tell you the truth...

Christ makes everything clear for us with the simplest words. When we give ourselves to Christ to follow him, Christ gives us one word for that, it is to repent and be forgiven. When Christ was asked what the greatest commandment in the law was, then again Christ made it simple giving the...

We need to look for other scripture telling of the difference between the law according to Moses and the law according to Christ. We know from scripture that all scripture is truth, so we know Moses spoke the truth as well as Christ giving us truth. So what is different?? In Mathews 5 we...

That "old law" was written by God. It is in scripture as law and scripture isfrom God. Are you ly saying you are greater than God, you can decide that Jesus wiped out what his Father did rather than that Jesus and the Father are one. That is not scripture. To fulfill is to complete and...

It seems to me that Christ gives us a way to inner joy even as we must accept what happens to us. Paul tells us to be content with whatever life brings us. If we live with Christ within, when the kingdom of heaven is our real home, there is joy that surpasses any trouble life the world can...

We do not need to know the date of Jesus' birth. The home country of Jesus, where he was truly born, was in the kingdom of heaven. Jesus came to earth as a visitor to save us from death. The Lord didn't ask us to celebrate that he came here, although as God promised, God used the...

Yes! All Israel will be saved. Romans 11:25 I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in, 26 and in this way all Israel will be saved. As...
