Boast In The Lord Series

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Mar 22, 2019

Paul gives three reasons for boasting only in the cross of Jesus Christ: 1) The cross has the power to free believers from the world’s bondage (Galatians 6:14b), 2) It has the power to do what the flesh cannot do, and 3) It has the power to bring salvation.

Galatians 6:14-18 [14] But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. [15] For neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. [16] And as for all who walk by this rule, ...read more

Fellowshipping With The Father And The Son - Part 8

Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Jul 30, 2020

John didn't want his readers to willingly fall short of God's holy standard. If you are a true believer you will not want to sin. Having a desire not to sin is one of the proofs you are a believer.

Review The Gnostics said they had no sin, blaming their sinful acts on their body. John was setting the record straight for his readers. The bad new John tells us is that we do sin. The good news is that if we confess our sin God is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sin and cleanse us ...read more
