The Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin to bring awareness of their fallen state, particularly due to unbelief in Christ. Unlike condemnation, conviction prompts realization and the desire for mercy. The crux lies in understanding that rejection of Christ bears heavier consequences than sin itself, emphasizing the importance of faith and divine grace.
You Already Have It!
The Lord said the devil comes to steal and since the devil cannot steal what we do not have, it must mean that we must already have it. Therefore he steals; he steals our healing, he steals our peace, he steals from what God has already freely given to us in Christ. “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the One having blessed us in Christ with EVERY spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms.” Ephesians 1:3
The Seed of the Woman!
“And enmity I put between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her Seed; He doth bruise thee -- the head, and thou dost bruise him -- the heel.” Genesis 3:15
Grace Overabounded!
“Now the Law entered so that trespass might abound; but where Sin Abounded, Grace Overabounded, so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also Grace might reign through Righteousness, unto eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 5:20-21
New Wine, Old Skins!
“And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; if now otherwise, the new wine will burst the wineskins, and it will be spilled out, and the wineskins will be destroyed. But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins. And no one having drunk old wine desires new; for he says, ‘The old is better.’” Luke 5:37-39
The Cure for Suffering is Enduring!
“For it has been granted to you concerning Christ, not only to believe in Him but also to suffer concerning Him, having the same conflict such as you saw in me and now hear of in me.” Philippians 1:29-30
New Creation!
The concept of a changed nature as it relates to the salvation of mankind is the cornerstone of the Christian faith, which we have stumbled through the ages. So, in this study we aim to discuss the transition of natural Mankind that was defined through the fall of Adam, to becoming a New Creation in Christ. The point of emphasis being, Mankind is born spirit when one accepts Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, through whom we are transformed from a flesh being to that of a spiritual being. This shift highlights the importance of understanding one’s true identity in relation to the Holy Spirit and salvation.
Spirit Does NOT have Flesh and Bones!
“And He said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts come up in your hearts? See My hands and My feet, that I am He. Touch Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see Me having.” Luke 24:38-39 Christ was raised in the same body... Continue Reading →
Flesh is Flesh because of Sin!
Flesh became flesh because sin was in it. Flesh is not flesh by itself. We use this confusing description purposely to address the perception we have of the utter corruption of flesh from everlasting. By that I mean all evil that is attributed to the concept of flesh. Flesh was not created evil, it only became one when Adam sinned. “Because of this, just as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin, so also death passed to all men, because all sinned.” Romans 5:12
The Lord Always Before Me!
"O Lord, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup You maintain my lot. The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; Yes, I have a good inheritance. I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel; My heart also instructs me in the night seasons. I have set the Lord... Continue Reading →
