As soon as a sinner takes Christ’s place, and Christ takes the sinner’s place, there is no fear of a second change. If Christ has once paid the debt, the debt is paid, and it will never be asked for again; if you are pardoned, you are pardoned once for ever.
No poor creature stands in need of divine grace
more than I do,
And yet none abuses it more than I have done,
and still do.
How heartless and dull I am!
Humble me in the dust for not loving thee more.
—Valley of Vision
I see too many people on social media getting hung up on things that can’t be solved on social media. If you want to make a difference and impact change, then put your phone down and get involved in your local community.
I believe the higher a man is in grace, the lower he will be in his own esteem; and he will be the last person to claim any supremacy over others in the divine grace of love to Jesus.
None of us would ever be saved, if God expected anything of us: we must be saved purely and solely for reasons connected with himself, and lying in his own bosom. Blessed be his name, he saves us for “his name’s sake.”
The word “saved” does not mean merely taking men to heaven; it means more—it means saving them from their sin; it means giving them a new heart, new spirits, new lives; it means making them into new men.
Philippians 2:12 is not a cause for Christians to doubt grace or live in dread, but to comprehend the greatness of both the privileges and demands of our high calling as sons and daughters of God. It is GOD who is at work in us! Irreverence & apathy are inappropriate responses.
Though grace secures us, we must work out our salvation in fear & trembling (Phil.2:12), press on to the know the Lord (Hos.6:2-3), & be diligent to present ourselves approved to God as workmen who do not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth (2Tim.2:15).
@KMarcus1998 @ClownerKid I accept all of it, But i think youre having a struggle understanding the most important part the Gospel like it says in Romans all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God that means all
@KMarcus1998 @ClownerKid Yes as John states but what you need to understand is if i fall which i can say 100% this whole world has today even you and me we have an advocate but we have to fight to live holy one who is a new creature seeks to be like Christ and live for Him
@KMarcus1998 @ClownerKid Upon conversion im able to partake in everlasting life by the meirt of another, Jesus who was a propitiation for Me and God gave me life instead of death and I yes keep His comments so does a father when His son messes up banish Him forver?
