PAUL, THE CHIEF OF SINNERS, OR THE CHIEF SINNER?
1Ti 1:11 According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust. 1Ti 1:12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry; 1Ti 1:13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. 1Ti 1:14 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. 1Ti 1:15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. 1Ti 1:16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe...

Matthew 3:7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: 9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. 10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: 12 Whose fan is in his hand,...
Read MoreNATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER?
DOES GOD ONLY ANSWER PRAYERS ON CERTAIN DAYS? Rom 8:18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. Rom 8:22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. Rom 8:23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. Rom 8:24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? Rom 8:25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. Rom 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we...
Read MoreTHE ADOPTION OF SONS
OUR IDENTITY IN CHRIST From the moment we trusted our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and placed our faith in what His blood accomplished by the cross, God the Father justified us and placed us into Christ. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: Eph 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Eph 1:5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, Eph 1:6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. Eph 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the...
Read MoreJUSTIFICATIONS AND SALVATIONS
When we study the word of truth and we come across the words “justify, just, justification”, or “save, saved, saving, salvation”, we can’t always assume that it means salvation from the debt and penalty of sins, or justification in the sight of God unto eternal life. In this study we are going to take a look at the different types of justifications and salvations in Israel’s program, as well as in this dispensation of gentile grace also. But before we do that, I would like to point to the fact that the main reason for this study is that in the church world, and especially in grace churches, there is a doctrine being taught that says that Israel was saved by faith plus works, and that we in this dispensation of gentile grace are saved, and justified by faith...
