    Why did God create Humans ?

    what are you talking about??? don't you know that Christ is in each and every born again one (Col 1:27) ... born again of incorruptible seed by the Word of God which liveth and abideth forever (1 Peter 1:23)? If you do not know that Christ is in you, Scripture reveals that you have not passed...

    Why did God create Humans ?

    What God conferred upon Bezaleel does not change the fact that what was available under Old Covenant is not the same as what is available under New Covenant. Ephesians 1: 17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the...

    TEMPTING or TRUSTING?

    seems to me you're being a good steward over that which you are blessed to own. also, even though you found a "good way to hail proof your front windshield and back window" ... you still pray to God ... which, to me, appears to be you acknowledging that what you have done is inadequate and it...

    Why did God create Humans ?

    Hi MrE ... there is a difference between Holy Spirit upon believers under the Old Covenant ... and Holy Spirit within believers under the New Covenant. Example: Numbers 11: 16 And the LORD said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders...

    Why did God create Humans ?

    Revelation 4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. when we truly worship and revere God, we fulfill that for which we were created ... that brings Him pleasure. .

    Being NUMBERED and counted for divine purposes (all believers!) Numbers 1:1-4:20

    born again ones love the section in Ephesians 6 where we learn about the armor of God. We want to suit up and go out and fight our adversary, the devil. However, Ephesians 6 does not tell us to fight. We are told to stand, withstand, and pray for opportunities to declare the gospel. Prayer...

    Jesus Christ, the propitiation for our sins

    Propitiation – Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words (bold mine): akin to hileos ("merciful, propitious"), signifies "an expiation, a means whereby sin is covered and remitted." It is used in the NT of Christ Himself as "the propitiation," in 1 John 2:2; 4:10, signifying that He...

    Daniel 9: 1 In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, which was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans; 2 In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he...

    Hebrews, Chapter 13

    These verses remind me that as long as I remember I have the Lord Jesus Christ with me, I have all I need ... whether physical comforts/things (aka toys) or things that happen in my life which may cause anxiety ... He is my all in all ... and my peace in troubled times. good verses to remember...

    Ham saw his father naked, why Noah cursed Canaan (Son of Ham) instead of Ham?

    In Genesis 2:7, the words translated breath of life are nᵊšāmâ ḥay ... God did something in Adam and Eve that He did not do when it comes to the cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth of Gen 1:24-25. In Genesis 7:15, the words translated breath of life are rûaḥ ḥay ... not the same...

    Shadow of things to come

    The Lord Jesus Christ is our sabbath ... we rest in Him. Hebrews 4: 1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. 2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit...

    Shadow of things to come

    a shadow is merely a reflection of something ... not the thing itself. Hebrews 10:1 For the law having a shadow [Greek skia] of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto...

    Psalm 91

    Psalm 91 was the first section of Scripture I memorized when I was a baby believer. I love the visual of trusting under the wings of the Almighty. .

    Turning from sin

    I do not believe God's wrath falls on believers ... discipline? yes ... chastening? yes ... training? yes ... testing? yes ... wrath? no. John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him...

    Mephibosheth and Ziba

    In 2 Samuel 4:4, we learn how Mephibosheth became lame: 2 Samuel 4:4 And Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son that was lame of his feet. He was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan out of Jezreel, and his nurse took him up, and fled: and it came to pass, as she made haste to...

    Turning from sin

    The words “he takes away” are translated from the Greek word airō which means to raise up, elevate. The branch [believer] that is in Christ but is not bearing fruit, is lifted up and supported so that he/she may bring forth fruit. The believer who bears fruit is cleansed of filth and impurity...

    Colossians 3: 1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life...
