“ Great Sermon! ” The Gospel teaches that God saves us and more His Son dwells in all who are called and elected to salvation in Jesus Christ. This message was a blessing.
“ Jesus Came to Save Sinners ” Nicodemus along with Peter, Thomas, Lot and other saints suffer at the hands of good intentions which miss the mark, and power of God in saving sinners. Brother Eric has taught us that "all" of God's elect in Christ are hidden disciples reserved in Christ until such time as God purposes to reveal Christ in them; translate them from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of His Dear Son. We, like Nicodemus, were dead in darkness without strength nor the will nor the eyes to see Christ the Lamb: "But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus".
“ Great Sermon! ” What an encouragement & such words of comfort by brother Eric; words that cause us to ask our Lord to manifest such fruit in each of His sheep.... "the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power". 1 Peter 5:9 states: knowing that the same "afflictions" are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. The "afflictions" can be of those resulting from "an inward state" (Strongs) which is the experience of every saint in connection with his old nature that wars against this peace & unity in the Body but, sin shall not have dominion over us hence, we are hope & expect that our God is working in every member of His visible church for their good and His glory. HE is the Balm of Gilead
“ Great Sermon! ” This message, by brother Eric, was extremely encouraging, whereby he has reminded us about everything the believer ...the saint has in Christ Jesus in whom we have experienced the most blessed and "generous" grace of God purposed towards us (chosen sinners) who were not seeking neither earned, merited nor secured by our effort. "The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" .. "for God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son". Now, being quickened and taught, by God, know this unmerited generosity whereby He reveals and convinces us that He has made us heirs and sons in His Son. But, not me only but everyone in whom my LORD has been set-up to represent. Now, if I truly am made to know and understand this generosity and graciousness then, I pray that He will work that in me towards other members of His Body, who are heirs and sons. If we are found in Him, and He is ALL then, I have everything God can give a worthless sinner made a saint. So, what hinders me from being generous and gracious to my brethren? We are never generous when it come to compromising the Gospel but we are charitable to sinners who oppose themselves while at the same time despise the doctrine. Help me to be a peacemaker in His Kingdom.
“ Nice message ” I enjoyed your message. You said people ask “where is God in all this?” God is in his word and his word is in his people. This world is satan’s world, 2nd Corinthians 4:4.He tried to offer it to Christ in Matthew the 4th chapter and Jesus didn’t argue the fact that satan could give it to him. Jesus just quoted the word. Not to argue with you but just giving you what I see as to why this world is in the condition it is. Remember, Jesus said the kingdom of God is not with observation. Have a blessed day.
