FAITH IN CHRIST IS NOT A PRICE FOR OUR SALVATION. So many people think that believing in the finished works of Christ so that one receives eternal life means that we pay for our salvation. Our faith is not the price for our salvation. The price for our salvation was paid by Christ so that our faith could be effective through Him. Otherwise no man could be reconciled with God. Our faith helps us to receive what Christ worked for us through His death , burial and resurrection. We use it to receive what God had freely given to us in Christ. AC 20:28 TAKE HEED THEREFORE UNTO YOURSELVES, AND TO ALL THE FLOCK, OVER THE WHICH THE HOLY GHOST HATH MADE YOU OVERSEERS, TO FEED THE CHURCH OF GOD, WHICH HE HATH PURCHASED WITH HIS OWN BLOOD. HEB 9:12 NEITHER BY THE BLOOD OF GOATS AND CALVES, BUT BY HIS OWN BLOOD HE ENTERED IN ONCE INTO THE HOLY PLACE, HAVING OBTAINED ETERNAL REDEMPTION FOR US TIT 3:5 NOT BY WORKS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH WE HAVE DONE, BUT ACCORDING TO

CHRIST IS ALL AND IN ALL TO THOSE WHO ARE IN HIM One of the ways you know those who have been beguiled by vain philosophies of men is that they say things from mental points of view to appeal to their ignorant assumptions about Christ. They read the word with the wrong intentions of assuming that Christ is in every one even if you are not born again. Some even assume that Christ did not even come in the flesh .Many disagree with every revelation of Christ by the Holy Spirit falsely proclaiming that Christ is a fairy tale passed on from one generation to another and finally given to Africans to keep them economic lethargy . But these assumptions contradict the word of God which says that salvation comes through faith in Christ. ACTS 4:12 NEITHER IS THERE SALVATION IN ANY OTHER: FOR THERE IS NONE OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN GIVEN AMONG MEN, WHEREBY WE MUST BE SAVED. It is very wrong to use what has been written in the scripture to produce error instead of correction and edificat
ALL THINGS WERE CREATED BY HIM AND FOR HIM BUT ALL THINGS ARE NOT NEW CREATION. The word of God arrive the final destination when the word became flesh. The word was not flesh otherwise God would be flesh. The word became flesh for man .The word was not totally man. He was the word but he was called man because He was in the flesh. If He was totally man, He would not have redeemed man. He was God called man. It was on the cross that He became totally man and was made sin. (2Cor 5:21) JOHN 1: 14 AND THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, AND DWELT AMONG US, (AND WE BEHELD HIS GLORY, THE GLORY AS OF THE ONLY BEGOTTEN OF THE FATHER,) FULL OF GRACE AND TRUTH COL 1: 19 FOR IT PLEASED THE FATHER THAT IN HIM SHOULD ALL FULNESS DWELL; COL 2: 9 FOR IN HIM DWELLETH ALL THE FULNESS OF THE GODHEAD BODILY. God came out of God and dwelled in the flesh so that God and man could be one in the flesh. The ONLY thing that was before the beginning began in the beginning was the word of God
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Romans:1:16 I pray that God will help us to keep preaching the Gospel of Christ from our hearts.This is how to reach the world with the knowledge of Christ unto salvation. Thank you Jesus
ESTABLISHING YOUR OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS MAKES YOU IGNORANT. It has been a problem that men always like to do things the way the feel is right instead of knowing the way God wants it to be done. Obviously it would look good in the eyes of men but in the sight of God they are acting in ignorance because the abhorred knowledge based on God’s standard. There would never be anytime man could effectively work with God if he lives from his knowledge instead of God’s knowledge. Many have moved from describing God, to narrating God. Others have gone from being expository to being explanatory about God and finally argue everything and anything that does not align with their words from knowledge of philosophy, legalism or archeological reasoning about God. To understand God’s standards you have to graduate from living by your words from knowledge to understanding word that come from God which is word of knowledge. Words of knowledge gives knowledge of what God did for us in Chr
I pray for you reading That God will keep you in good health and and prosper you in Jesus name. More grace
WE HAVE TO LIVE THROUGH CHRIST 1JOHN 4:9 IN THIS WAS MANIFESTED THE LOVE OF GOD TOWARD US, BECAUSE THAT GOD SENT HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON INTO THE WORLD, THAT WE MIGHT LIVE THROUGH HIM. 2COR 5: 17 THEREFORE IF ANY MAN BE IN CHRIST, HE IS A NEW CREATURE: OLD THINGS ARE PASSED AWAY; BEHOLD, ALL THINGS ARE BECOME NEW ROM 8: 9 BUT YE ARE NOT IN THE FLESH, BUT IN THE SPIRIT, IF SO BE THAT THE SPIRIT OF GOD DWELL IN YOU. NOW IF ANY MAN HAVE NOT THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST, HE IS NONE OF HIS. Everybody is in this world but not everyone is in Christ. Being born into this world is not being born into Christ Being is Christ is a higher standard of living which is not the same as the life of an ordinary man born into this world by a biological father and mother. Why so many people are confused is because they do not believe that faith has any role to play in living eternal life. They believe that God’s love has qualified every man to salvation without faith in Christ. Anyone who cannot r
BEING IN CHRIST IS A LIFE OF FAITH. Any man in Christ was born into Christ by the incorruptible word of God to receive eternal life and live a life of faith by grace. 1PETER 1:23 BEING BORN AGAIN, NOT OF CORRUPTIBLE SEED, BUT OF INCORRUPTIBLE, BY THE WORD OF GOD, WHICH LIVETH AND ABIDETH FOR EVER. 1JOHN 3: 9 WHOSOEVER IS BORN OF GOD DOTH NOT COMMIT SIN; FOR HIS SEED REMAINETH IN HIM: AND HE CANNOT SIN, BECAUSE HE IS BORN OF GOD. EPH 2: 8 FOR BY GRACE ARE YE SAVED THROUGH FAITH; AND THAT NOT OF YOURSELVES: IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD. ROM 3: 24 BEING JUSTIFIED FREELY BY HIS GRACE THROUGH THE REDEMPTION THAT IS IN CHRIST JESUS: This thing is actually heavy for many to grasp because they assume that the life in Christ is by chance. They think that the love of God qualifies every man to be in Christ. The love of God sustains us for repentance. : receiving salvation through faith in Christ who is the demonstration of God’s love for man. RO 8:39 NOR HEIGHT, NOR DEPTH, NOR ANY OTHER
Some men who do not understand salvation have changed the meaning to suite their philosophical reasoning. No one can understand salvation with his or her mental agility without the role of Christ to man in the project of salvation. Christ did not come into this world to save Himself. Christ did not need salvation because in Him there is no sin. What is salvation? Salvation is the act of saving something or someone from something trying to kill or harm him. Just like a man or ship trying to drown in the sea. That ship or person needs someone who is more skillful or another ship that is more balanced to help them regain stability. Before Christ came, man was dead in sin. Separated and annihilated from God’s fellowship because of Adam’s transgression. 1CO 15:22 FOR AS IN ADAM ALL DIE, EVEN SO IN CHRIST SHALL ALL BE MADE ALIVE.. Christ saved the world from sin so that men could consciously enter into and everlasting rela
BEWARE OF ENEMIES OF THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST Gal 1: 3- 4 3 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, WHO GAVE HIMSELF FOR OUR SINS, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: Christ is the message because sin is dead. He gave Himself for our sins to condemning sin in the flesh.(Roman 8:3). Christ came into this world so that men through Him would receive Eternal life. The Gospel of Christ is the Good News to mankind that should be received. It does not happen by chance. It is a relationship of consciousness of Christ by faith. It is a very pathetic that many have moved away from the truth. They have gone through human philosophies and definitely concluded that Jesus Christ is a myth, phantom or phantasmagoria of dreams. These are human stratagem to make believers stop believing in the resurrected Christ. They said that there is no need to b
