Administrators Gail Posted January 17, 2012 Administrators Posted January 17, 2012 "We need to shift our focus from [grace as] a saving transaction to a saving transformation." Kameron DeVasher Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
Gibs Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 Yes a death of our old worldly self to being born again from above, of His Spirit and then that Spirit dwelling within and we become a new creature in Him. Then dead of all the old self in things we then reveled in and loved to reveling in doing His will and not our own. Our will surrendered to do all His Will. Born then with a new nature within that is the victorious one that will be obeyed. 1Jo 4:4 ¶ Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. Quote A Freeman In Jesus Christ
Administrators Gail Posted January 17, 2012 Author Administrators Posted January 17, 2012 Isn't that an awesome, hope-providing prospect? Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
Gibs Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 Gail it surely is. To realize then we are one of His Spiritual Members that make up His Spiritual Body. I've always loved Pauls writings on this, he sure made it plain and clear to us Gentiles. We are Blessed to be grafted in. 1Jo 4:4 ¶ Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. Quote A Freeman In Jesus Christ
Administrators Naomi Posted January 17, 2012 Administrators Posted January 17, 2012 Indeed we are blessed to be grafted in. I also concur with Gail's statement, Quote: 'Isn't that an awesome, hope-providing prospect? Quote If your dreams are not big enough to scare you, they are not big enough for God
Dr. Rich Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 Indeed we are blessed to be grafted in. I also concur with Gail's statement, Quote: 'Isn't that an awesome, hope-providing prospect? Trouble is, Jesus never said aything about being adopted or grafted in. There is a clear difference in how salvation works between what Paul said and what Jesus said. Check it out. Quote
