Great Sermon! Everyone should hear this good message about teaching and believing sound Bible doctrine! (Especially all preachers who claim to be called by God into the ministry)...I also agree with you with what you say about "motivational speakers" and "self-help programs"...etc.
Why Christians Suffer Sometimes God's elect are found to be "all their lives subject to bondage"...
Hebrews 2:15 .. And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage...
Exodus 1:14 ... And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in morter, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field...
Also, I have read that true believers may be made "bitter" by partaking of the "inward parts" of the
body of Christ...spiritually speaking.
Numbers 9:11 The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep it, and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs...
Exodus 12:8 And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it...
Sometimes we are made to partake of the body of Christ (with bitter herbs)...to "fill up that which is behind
of the sufferings of Christ"...Colossians 1:24 ... and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church...
So Peter tells us...
1 Peter 4:12 ¶Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you...
The Sacrifice is to be "roasted with fire"...
Good Message! Very Good message!
Thank God for the Gospel!
We must be brought off of the old stock of Adam, and by faith alone be engrafted into Christ! This was somewhat "painful" for me because of a strong religious background and because I was raised in Arminianism.
We must renounce all trust in our own "good works" and self rightousness, and stand complete in Him alone
by the imputed Righteousness of Christ alone...
Romans 10:3 ... For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God...
Marvelous Message! Marvelous Message! Everyone who is seeking true assurance of an eternal salvation should hear this good sermon!
Colossians 3:1 ... ¶If (or since) ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God...
"The Future is Now"...!
Very Interesting! Hear this wonderful message about the divine providence of God! This is one of the best sermons I have ever heard on this interesting topic!
Wonderful Message! Amen! Hear this wonderful message! Owen's "The Death of Death in the Death of Christ" is also
one of my favorite titles! Some good advice is given here on how true believers may have full assurance of salvation in the hour of death.
People need to hear this!
Excellent Message! Excellent sermon! Being raised in a legalistic "holiness movement", this sermon was very meaningful to me personally.
It is the true Gospel that is important, and not just believing a doctrine of the "changed life" or "outward reform" or "self improvement programs"....etc.
Many today think they are saved, but they have only submited to a list of rules and "will worship"...sad to say. This indeed has a "show of wisdom" in doing "what is right", but remember, Satan can transform himself into a "minister of righteousness". He says..."Do right, do right, do right"....but he does not tell you how to saved by Christ alone and by the imputed righteousness of Christ alone!
It is a New Life that is important, the new Life of Christ within us, and not just a turning over a "new leaf"...etc. Turning over a "new leaf" could be the work of the flesh, and not the work of the Spirit.
A Sermon of Wisdom! Hear this good message and the Wisdom of Solomon for us today! Sad to say,
most churches never get to hear anything from the great Book of
Ecclesiastes.
Great Sermon! Everyone should hear this excellent message! Our faith is not a "work" that we have to perform to be saved... The truth is so simple when God opens your eyes to see it! When we believe the true gospel,
it is the work of the Spirit of God in us... John 6:29... Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent...Thank God for His imputed Righteousness, received by faith alone!
"My Hope is Built On Nothing Less than Jesus blood and Righteousness"...I have heard this hymn sung for years,
but did not really understand what it meant... until God opened my blinded eyes to this great doctrine of an eternal justification by faith alone, without works!
Wonderful Sermon! Everyone should hear this wonderful, powerful message based on the text found in Colossians 1:27 ... Christ in you, the hope of glory!
Excellent Lecture! Another good lecture by this wonderful speaker! So glad to hear messages like this one. We need to be careful that we (as a church doctrinally speaking) do not go back into the dark ages! Then we would need another Reformation to restore the true Gospel of God's sovereign grace!
Excellent Lecture! Thank you for this interesting lecture!
This was a real eye-opener for someone who was raised as an Arminian
and the "altar call" system.
For many years I had no assurance, and yet I was told to seek sanctification
and "second blessing holiness"...
No wonder imputed righteousness by faith alone was Good News!
Great Sermon! Hear this good message about this important verse in the Bible....Romans 3:26 ... To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus...
Now I understand this verse much better than I did before...Thank you.
Great Sermon! Hear this excellent message! This good speaker defends Paul's gospel of God's
wonderful Sovereign Grace and our eternal justification by faith alone...
