1. “John testified saying, “I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven, and He remained upon Him.” 2. “He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him.” 3. “Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me.” 4. “I am the vine, you are the branches; he who…
Are you hearing God saying to you now: Find the importance of life in me. Find your virtue and assurance in me. Find your objective and guidance in me. Find the source for all spiritual attainment in me. Find the vitality to live each time in me. Find the wisdom to steer the many turns of life in me. Find forgiveness for all your sins in me. Find the enjoyment of boundless joy in me. Find every time for happiness…
Amy Carmichael said: “To pray in a hurry of spirit means nothing. To live in a hurry means to do much but effect little. We build more quickly in wood, hay, and stubble than in gold, silver, and precious stones; but the one abides, the other does not. If he who feels the world is too much with him will make for himself a little space, and let his mind settle like a bee in a flower on some great…
1. “I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.” 2. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” 3. “And this is eternal life, that…
Yes, is it faith in eternal life or faith is eternal life. When you have an extra-eyes to perceive the trajectory to look beyond the end of dying, you will soon discover that death as the end of breaking is only a fleeting shadow upon a life which is far better. Whether the grave’s corruption passes over the believer or not, he or she lives an eternal life, which has no element of death nor predisposition to death in it….
Emil Bruner said: “Our Lord Christ speaks: “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in me, though he dies, yet shall he live.” Thus he says: You have no idea who I am and what I mean for you, have done and will do for you if you do not look beyond this life to eternity.… If you want to understand me, you must go beyond the temporal to the eternal, for I am he who brings…
1. “And calling the crowd to him with his disciples, he said to them, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.” 2. “For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.” 3. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish…
Clearly, one of the essential household items in the Temple seen by Ezekiel in a vision was the altar or raised area, which exemplifies the cross; the cross is the focal point of the universe, and the guideline of the cross is termination, death. The statement remains yes and Amen that without The Cross, there is no Christ! Some may say that it is Christ who is the focal point of the universe, and that is right; Christ is the…
J. Heinrich Arnold said: “It is of crucial importance that the cross of Jesus Christ is in the center of our hearts – central to our calling, and central to our mission. The Lamb of God on the cross stands before the throne of God. (Rev. 5:6) The cross is the center of the universe. We must experience its meaning in its height, depth, and breadth as a mystical revelation through the Holy Spirit. It is not enough to believe…
1. “For each will have to bear his own load.” 2. “But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.” 3. “He who plants and he who waters are one, and each will receive his wages according to his labor.” 4. “Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our…
