Is Jesus Really “Up There” Begging God to Forgive You? Read More »
This informative SEO excerpt discusses the reality of “taking up the cross” in Christ and how it is often misunderstood as a burden and demand on Christians. The excerpt emphasizes that the reality established in Christ is that “I was crucified with Christ,” and it is through this understanding that we can find freedom and assurance in our relationship with Him. It also warns against those who try to make the Gospel about us and bring us into bondage. The ultimate freedom is to be “dead with Christ,” where we are no longer about ourselves but about Christ living through us. By recognizing our old self being crucified with Christ, we can live in the freedom of His resurrection power. The keywords for this excerpt are assurance of salvation, Christ, Christian freedom, Freedom in Christ, gospel, and grace.
Learn about the blessedness of salvation and how it refers to the state of being forgiven and having righteousness imputed to a person without works. This blessedness leads to heirship, as believers are granted to be heirs of God and joint heirs with Jesus Christ. Sin cannot keep a justified person from the blessings of God, and the blessing of forgiveness qualifies believers to become heirs. According to Romans 3:26, the blessing of forgiveness also qualifies God to make believers heirs, so that He may be “just and the justifier of Him who believes in Jesus.” If you are seeking assurance of salvation, look no further than the grace of God, who justifies and forgives those who believe in Jesus. Keywords include assurance of salvation, grace, justification, righteousness, forgiveness, and inheritance.

What is the “new commandment” that John talks about in his epistles? Read More »
Learn about the purpose of the law and the reality of sin in the flesh to experience true freedom in Christ. Using the law as a “guide for Christian living” waters down its requirements. The Law was given as a diagnosis of man’s condition, not a recommendation for its cure. Legalistic teaching does not put the law in its proper context. We are saved by grace through faith in Christ alone, and it is through Him that we are made righteous, holy, and blameless in the sight of God. To stand before God with a clear conscience and experience the blessings available to justified and regenerated sons and heirs, we must maintain our faith in Christ.
