Salvation cannot be accomplished by a bath. John 4:2 says Jesus baptized no one. If baptism were a condition of salvation, He would have been baptizing people; after all, He came to seek and to save the lost (Luke 19:10).The Gospel According to Jesus 3e(54)
We should not be entertained by the sins for which Christ died.
The true gospel is a call to self-denial. It is not a call to self-fulfillment.
Salvation always results because God first pursues sinners, not because sinners first seek God.Gospel According to Jesus 3e(86)
l would define FREEWILL as this: every human being has the freedom to choose whatever sin he wants. That's free will.
if it was considered an honor to be the slave of one of the Caesars, it is infinitely more so to be the slave of ChristSlave (97)
He that walketh with God sees, by the eye of faith, God present with him in all his actions; seriously thinking of Him upon all occasions, remembering Him in his ways, setting the Lord always before him as David did; seeing Him that is invisible as Moses did; doing all things as St. Paul did, as of God in the sight of God. Now he who so walketh that he always observeth God's presence and keepeth Him still in his view in the course of his life not only with a general and habitual but, as much as he can, with an actual intention to please and glorify God, this man may be said to walk with God. Christians Daily Walk
Consider, what thou doest out of thy place is not acceptable to God because thou canst not do it in faith, "without which it is impossible to please God," and it cannot be in faith because thou hast no call. God will not thank thee for doing that which He did not set thee about. Possibly thou hast good intentions; so had Uzzah in staying the ark, yet how well God liked his zeal, see 2 Samuel 6:7. Christian in Complete Armour
Every man obeys Christ as he prizes Christ, and no otherwise. Unsearchable Riches of Christ
Though no believer does what he should do, yet doubtless every believer might do more than he does in order to God's glory and his own and others' internal and eternal good. Affection without endeavor is like Rachel, beautiful but barren. They are blessed that do what they can, though they cannot but under-do. Unsearchable Riches of Christ
Our obedience in all the branches of it [the praise owed to the Lord in light of His providential care] should be bettered. Practical praises are the most acceptable. Our lives must witness the gratitude of our hearts. Best Refuge
The more you practice what you know, the more shall you know what to practice.
Ready obedience is a good evidence of a sound impression of grace left upon our hearts.
obedience is not instrumental (it does not acquire the gift of Christ, nor any additional gift from God), but is integral to the gift itself.
Children are born sinful, and that sinfulness manifests itself not because of what parents do, but because of what they don't do.
For the faithful, Spirit-filled Christian, every place becomes a place of prayer.
Sixteen of the thirty-eight parables of Jesus deal with money. One out of ten verses in the New Testament deals with that subject. Scripture offers about five hundred verses on prayer, fewer than five hundred on faith, and over two thousand on money. The believer's attitude toward money and possessions is determinative.
A true Christian does not see God's promise of forgiveness as a license to sin, a way to abuse His love and presume on His grace. Rather, he sees God's gracious forgiveness as the means to spiritual growth and sanctification. He continually thanks God for His great love and willingness to forgive.
It wasn't a potential atonement actuated by the sinner, it was an actual atonement initiated by the savior.
The cross is proof of both the immense love of God and the profound wickedness of sin.
Scripture does what psychoanalysis can't do-it pierces the heart, penetrates deep into the soul and judges the motives. To see yourself in the light of Scripture, is to see yourself as you really are.
Prayer is not an attempt to get God to agree with you or provide for your selfish desires, but that it is both an affirmation of His sovereignty, righteousness, and majesty and an exercise to conform your desires and purposes to His will and Glory
You can't confuse childlike faith with childish thinking.
Why is discipline important? Discipline teaches us to operate by principle rather than desire. Saying no to our impulses (even the ones that are not inherently sinful) puts us in control of our appetites rather than vice versa. It deposes our lust and permits truth, virtue, and integrity to rule our minds instead.
Those believers who spend their lives in temporal and worthless pursuits should expect minimal reward from Christ.slave 184
