Does God have a different will for each individual believer? If so, where would one go to find it. God has a will for the human creation: be fruitful and multiply. (Everything in popular culture fights against this.) He has a will for His earthly people, the nation of Israel. They are to be a kingdom of priests. He has a will…

To know God’s will, we must first know His ‘doctrine’ according to John 7:16-17. Doctrine is the principles of what is taught. So to find God’s will, we begin by looking at the principles which He teaches. Any doctrine, including God’s will be found in the words spoken by the propagator of that doctrine. God’s doctrine, and therefore His will, is to…
Most folks that believe in God also believe that God intervenes in the lives of individuals and societies to either punish or reward them according to their works. This is a common belief in Christianity also. But if God places you in Christ and imputes the righteousness of Christ to you when you believe, this creates a problem for that doctrine. If…
God has given Christ all things. Those who are in Christ are called joint-heirs with Christ. That means that all things given to Christ have been given to those in Christ. But it was Christ that was chosen. We become part of the chosen when we by faith are placed into the body of Christ. All things that we are given are…
The most common book new believers are encouraged to study is the Gospel of John. The problem with that is that new believers can quickly become confused and discouraged by taking the promises made in John and applying them to their lives. The book that best establishes believers in the faith is the book of Romans. Romans begins by laying out the…
All things work together for good to them that love God FOR WHOM HE DID FOREKNOW . . . The reason all things work together for good to those in Christ is because God foreknew Jesus Christ. He predestinated, called, justified and glorified Jesus Christ. Therefore, anyone placed into Jesus Christ by their faith would also be given the same things Christ…
Finding comfort in establishment begins with Paul’s gospel. Knowing your eternal destiny and understanding that you have peace with God gives comfort. Next is the preaching of Jesus Christ according to the revelation of the mystery. This teaches us that we are in Christ and he in us. We learn to live our lives on that principle instead of the law or…
This message is a slight detour from the main subject to answer a question that came up. Colossians 1:20 says: And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. How does God reconcile all things unto Himself if there…
For those seeking to understand God’s Word, this message is an indispensable building block. Mid-Acts dispensationalism is often derided as hyper-dispensationalism by those who reject it, but a sound understanding of the scriptures can only be obtained when they are truly rightly divided. In this message, that building block is clearly presented. https://www.youtube.com/@GraceAliveMinistries
There are dichotomies in scripture. For example, God is a God that forgives sin but in no wise will clear the guilty – but we are all guilty – son how can He forgive sins? Another dichotomy is that we are made subject to vanity, but all things work together for good to those who love God and are called according to…
