Persuaded

He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God. And being fully persuaded that, what He had promised, He was able to perform – Romans 4:20:21

Faith is something we can’t see, it has to be in our heart and in our mind. Faith can either be positive or negative, either one will bring results. Abraham staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God for what He was going to do prior to receiving the blessing. Read More

To follow along, visit your local Christian bookstore, and ask for the Bible Exploratory Study Book

Golden Text:  He is the brightness of His glory, and the express image of His person, upholding all things by the word of His power – Hebrews 1:3.

Hebrews 1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets – Sundry times indicates various ways God used to communicate with His people by visitations, dreams, signs, parables, prophets and events. He used many of the prophets such as Moses, Samuel, Elijah, Elisha, Jeremiah and Ezekiel to instruct His people of the ways of God. God uses people to get His message to His people. Throughout time, God used a human to speak His word and manifested His powers through. Hebrews was written to Jewish believers who had once served the Lord, but had begin to return to Judaism because of persecution. Rather than serving the Lord in faith and in spirit, they returned to the Law. The Old Testament prepared the way to the New Testament, and the New Testament can’t be fully comprehended without the old.

Hebrews 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds. – The author introduces the Son in several descriptions. First, He is the One whom God hath appointed heir of all things. He’s entitled to the supreme place above all things. Secondly, it is through the Son that God made the world. The Son is the Creator spoken of in Genesis 1:1 (In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth), and 1st Corinthians 8:6 (But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in Him, and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by Him). The covenant was eventually fulfilled in Jesus through the line of David. The angels are created beings, they are God’s messengers, their role is to serve God, and the Son is God. Read More

Reconciliation and Adoption

To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoptions of sons. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son then an heir of God through Christ – Galatians 4:5-7.

All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to Himself in Christ. Not counting men’s sins against them. And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making His appeal through us. Read More
