Justification, Sanctification, Redemption, Part 2

Justification, Sanctification, Redemption, Part 2

Comments 0 Comment

All who are called may take the second step—SANCTIFICATION To sanctify is to set apart or separate to a special thing or use. God’s will is that all justified ones should be sanctified or set apart to his service as we read: “This is the will of God even your (believers) sanctification.” 1 Thess 4:3. There are two parts to sanctification–first ours, secondly God’s part. As we have seen, God provides for our justification as men and then calls us…

These are the three steps by which we are to reach “the prize of our high calling“–glory, honor and immortality. Not one of these steps can be omitted by those who win the great prize, nor can they be taken in any way but their order as directed in the Scriptures. Justification comes first as a necessity, because, all the human race being sinners, as such God could not either sanctify or glorify them; therefore, by some means, they must…

We continue once again with our forth question, who specifically is the Mediator? In this study we would like to take a quick look at the “Testator” to see how this is related to the Mediator. Testator: a person who has made a will or given a legacy. “And for this reason he is the Mediator of the new covenant by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first (Law) covenant, that those who are called…

Who specifically is the Mediator? As we had stated at the end of our last post the typical answer to this question is Christ, but who is THE Christ? What say the Scriptures? “For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. For by one Spirit we were all baptized into the body…for in fact the body is not one member (Christ…

Who are the parties in dispute who require mediation? In the general sense we have already addressed this question by affirming that the dispute is between God and the “sons of disobedience” (Eph 5:6), that it is these two parties who have need of mediation in order to facilitate reconciliation. Now who exactly are the “sons of disobedience” upon whom the wrath of God abides? “And you [did he make alive,] when you were dead through your trespasses and sins,…

A common and erroneous thought held by many professing Christians today is that the Lord is (presently) engaged in the work of mediation, mediating the New Covenant between God and the Church. They imagine that this New Covenant went into effect during our Lord’s first advent when it is assumed he sealed the New Covenant with Spiritual Israel, with his blood. Now it is our hope in this particular presentation to find the truth on these matters so as to…

Setting Dates

Setting Dates

The following comment was made on Facebook by a young Christian. “I need to be very careful how I state this: There are a few very well meaning pastors who like to set dates for specific things they believe will happen as it relates to prophecy. This the Bible states clearly that He is coming back and there will be certain signs before He does. However……one should not specifically set dates to make the Bible fit their narrative.” Although it…

THE ANTITYPICAL LEVITES Is there any question as to there being an antitype? Surely not when we summarize the preceding paragraphs and note afresh the minuteness of detail given us by God’s Word in regard to this class. In brief, the Scriptures teach: 1) On the Passover night the first-born of Israel are saved by the blood of the paschal lamb. 2) For a permanent memorial they are exchanged for the tribe of Levi, which is set apart to spiritual…

We present the following subject due to the fact that there are still many who are confused over the issue of the Great Company , who they are and what should be their ultimate fate, much of this confusion centers over one particular statement found in Revelation Chapter 7 Verse 9 which states, “After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, STANDING BEFORE THE THRONE and…

 “Vision of the Lampstand and Olive Trees” The reason we bring up this particular lesson is due to a statement made by our friend Jacob (on the Bible Students Forum) where he states: “I notice you use reprint quotes to support your thoughts I use to do the same but try now to think out of the box and find the answers through my direct connect by the anointing with and from spirit and mind of Christ.” You are not…
