There will be some who will not receive Christ as Lord of all. This means there is a continuing verdict of not guilty proceeding from God, the Judge of the bench of Heaven.

Israel cannot be born of the natural reproductive abilities of human beings. 51. “Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed [disappointed; confounded].”.

The part of our personality that is proceeding from Christ is actually and practically righteous because Christ is God’s righteousness. Given the fact that we are being created an integral part of the resurrection and revelation of Christ, it is unthinkable that we should choose to yield to the demands of sin. 12. 2. Are Christians identified by a statement of faith in Christ or by righteous conduct? It seems only a few have received Christ as Lord. Our marriage to Christ, requiring as it does an intense interaction with the living Christ in every detail of life, produces a righteousness of character and behavior that the Law never could produce. The person who delights in evil will find many opportunities to achieve the desires of his heart and will be able to justify his filthiness from the Scriptures. In many instances it is sufficient to name the sin before God. 11. Paul believed that his work had been accomplished in Asia Minor and in Greece. What can we know if we keep renewing our mind in Christ? If we are serving the Lord in our own wisdom and strength, we are working in the flesh and not in the Spirit of God. 28.

God will sacrifice nations of people in order to accomplish His purposes in His chosen people. The Christian who lives “in the flesh” rather than in prayerful obedience to the Holy Spirit is placing his salvation in jeopardy (Romans 8:5-13). 45.

In spite of their knowledge of God’s laws, what do they do? The white robe is a symbolic portrayal of the removal of sinful tendencies and the possession of the righteous Nature of Christ. Read Isaiah 52:7. But as soon as God in Christ in the saints confronts Satan in the last days, both the head of Satan and his power to work will be cut off. What has not been as clearly understood by most Christians, it appears, is the provision God has made for the second problem, that is, the bondage of slavery to sin—the compelling power in our flesh that urges us to keep on repeating the disobedience of Adam and Eve. 29. What does the Scripture state concerning the Lord Jesus Christ? Then we will be able in our day to hold up the Lord Jesus Christ to the ends of the earth. Christ guides us in every area of life. Let us turn now to the redemption, the liberation, the salvation that will be brought to us with the return of Christ from Heaven. How was death able to gain power over all men?

What are we to do about the deeds of our body? The earth, its peoples, death, life, light, darkness, the present age, the ages to come, every creature, every thing—all belong to Christ and His saints. But the teachers and saints even of his own day could not grasp Paul’s thinking. 10. We absolutely must hold up our physical body a living sacrifice to the Lord.

It is not sufficient that we merely receive righteousness and life for ourselves. The fact that God selected Abraham from all the inhabitants of the large city of Ur, and chose Abraham’s descendants, the nation of Israel, with whom God has dealt in a manner that has never been true of any other race of people, is one of the clearest demonstrations in all Scripture of Divine foreknowledge, predestination, and election. There is no part of our personality that is exempt from the process of death and resurrection in Jesus. What do the Holy Spirit and our spirit both testify? Rather, it is true that after God justifies us we must go through the “wilderness” while God sanctifies us. It is important to note that it is the first resurrection, the redemption of our mortal body, that signifies our adoption as a son of God.

The fruit of Christ-likeness will begin to show in our own personality and behavior, and also in the personality and behavior of those to whom we minister. Certain Jewish teachers, some seeking their own gain, were following the Apostles into the Gentile assemblies and teaching the Law of Moses. The new earth is for the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit, the saints, and the nations of saved peoples of the earth. 37.

Do we despise the riches of God’s kindness, forbearance, and patience? Why were the Israelites disobedient to the Gospel? Our own attempts at righteousness may end in disappointment and confusion. This is Gnosticism. The Christian personality is to be governed by the Spirit of God who is dwelling eternally in the Christian. The resurrection from the dead is not a reward for possessing correct beliefs of doctrine, accepted theology. When we are under grace, the Law has no authority over us. He revealed this in His redemption of the Apostle Paul. In the muscles? What did David declare concerning the blessedness of the man to whom God reckons righteousness apart from the works of law? It is that salvation comes at the end of our discipleship, not only or even primarily at the beginning. 2. It is the word of faith that Paul preached. God’s requirements are not some fantastically difficult and complicated program beyond the mind of man to conceive. Until God has reaped His harvest of the Gentiles. There is no such thing as a saint of God who is not doing God’s will perfectly and faithfully. What have people done with the physical creation, the world of nature? 20. The first resurrection from the dead is the promised salvation, the salvation that is to be revealed to the Lord’s faithful disciples when He returns to earth. As long as we are abiding in the Lord Jesus, as long as we are pressing forward each day in the work of transformation, the blood of Jesus is maintaining our guiltlessness before the Father. It is because no part of our own righteousness is acceptable to God. The experienced saint understands that he always must be on his guard against the lusts of his flesh and soul. 6. God was aware this would take place. 44. Those who do not turn from their evil, after all the mercy and provisions of the Lord, shall be cast into the area prepared for the devil and his angels.
