    Contributed by Neal Gray on Oct 23, 2001
    based on 44 ratings
     | 2,954 views

    Entire sanctification means knowing where righteousness comes from. Any righteousness we have comes to us on the basis of faith in Christ Jesus. Thus, it is easy to give up any puny notion that our earthly qualifications gave us merit.

    The power of the Lord’s Last Supper is lost on many of us because we fail to understand Jesus’ use of the word Cup; this sermon reveals how the Disciples understood Jesus saying "This is my body" and "Drink this to commemorate me."

It would be easy, for me to be misunderstood, because I can only express part of my understanding of this subject in a short space. So ...read more
