The Saints- part 2 of 2 | Zechariah 14:5/6 6. And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the Lord my… Read More The Saints- Post two of two
Since Christian Believers as well as believers in the Messiah (before Christ) are referred to as “Saints” in the Bible, I have just performed a Bible study on the Saints, looking for when the word appears in the Bible, and have found the following: | Deuteronomy 33:1-3 “1. And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses… Read More The Saints- Post one of two
1 Peter 1 – God elects saints for His kingdom, not by foregone conclusions which are irreversible; but men are “elect through sanctification of spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ” (1 Peter 1:2). This reveals to us the means, and design of the election in relation to the present time.… Read More Today’s thought “Sanctification of spirit” (December 11)
Daniel 4 – Daniel tells us, in a sense that does not conflict with the Gospel of the kingdom, that He ruleth in the kingdoms of men, setting up some and putting down others. The kingdoms, now existing, are provisionally of God’s appointment. God’s purpose to make the earth a habitation of order, love, intelligence,… Read More He doeth according to His will
Real Christians should separate themselves from the world like God’s Chosen People also separated itself. The Hebrew people in the time of Ezra separated itself from the peoples of the lands to the Law of God, their wives, their sons, their daughters, all who had knowledge and understanding, and joined with their brothers, their nobles,… Read More Today’s thought “Joining with their brothers” (November 22)
The sentiment that Christ’s righteousness alone is to be the basis of our acceptance, is one of the countless and pernicious corruptions of clerical theology. It doubtless originated in the misapplication of a certain element of apostolic truth, namely that which informs us that all are under sin, and that our salvation is not of… Read More Today’s Thought: The servants of Christ
The Lord has called you—individually—to be a light among many to proclaim the good news of God’s Kingdom through your words and your behaviour. Sam Taylor of Goad Tidings asks: Have you ever noticed a rainbow on a wall when light shines through a window? What causes that to happen? In his article The Spectrum… Read More The Spectrum of the Saints
Today’s thought “As is proper among saints” (April 7) What a challenge it is to realise that all those who really believe in God and Jesus Christ are called “saints”. The Greek word translated as saint, means, “holy, set apart”. Saints set themselves apart from worldly, godless ways of thinking and doing. Paul’s letters are… Read More Today’s thought “As is proper among saints” (April 7)
We continue our thought about man making himself a god or worshipping more than one god. In today’s reading of Isaiah 46 and 47 Jehovah God asks the house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne by Him from the belly, which are carried from the womb: “3… Read More Today’s Thought “To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like? ” (June 22)
In this world, we do find people who adhere to many gods. Lots of idols are worshipped as if they are helping gods. The Divine Creator, the El-Elyon, Isra’el’s King and Redeemer, Adonai–Tzva’ot, the Lord of Armies, the Almighty said: “6 … I am the first, and I am the last; and besides me there… Read More Today’s Thought “Idols are nothing against the first and the last God” (June 20)
Today’s thought “… in a spirit of gentleness” (April 4) There is little, and maybe no “gentleness” in today’s godless world! We saw, as we completed reading Paul’s letter to the Galatians, that, after listing “the works of the flesh” (5:19-21) and warning that all who continued to practice any of them “will not inherit… Read More Today’s thought “… in a spirit of gentleness” (April 4)
From the first Book of the Bible we learn already that God has a Plan for His creation and that there would come some one who shall bring an end to all misery and death. That sent one from God shall be authorised by God to speak and act in His Name. He would be… Read More What is the Kingdom of God?
“I remember you in my prayers” (May 29) The short letter of Paul to Philemon has some valuable lessons for us in the area of spiritual relationships of believers with one another. Paul is writing as “a prisoner of Christ Jesus” (verse 1) and Timothy is with him – and other visitors support him, “Mark,… Read More I remember you in my prayers
