Only by Faith in Jesus Not by Works

Classic Christianity – Book of Hebrews P54 (01-16-24)

The Just Shall Live By Faith

~ When we receive Christ it is by faith. We place faith that Jesus took away our sins on the cross, and that he was raised from the dead so that he could place his Spirit into us, and raise us from the dead also. So once you are in Christ, and He is in you, Scripture tells us to live the same way, by Faith. God will do in and through you what you cannot do yourself. He begins to renew your mind immediately, because he makes you a new creature in Christ. The old is gone, and the new has come. Don’t let Satan or anyone else place you on the treadmill of grunting and groaning for Christ. It’s a lie. We learned yesterday that we can do NOTHING for Christ, Nothing. Faith is believing Truth and properly responding to Truth. Abraham believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness. We are to be the same way today. And furthermore, because we live on this side of the cross, and the Holy Spirit indwells every believer, He will strengthen your faith. Trust … Listen to Broadcast & Read More

Apart From Jesus You Can Do Nothing!

~ A simple statement in the word of God, yet most discount it. Jesus said, “Apart from me you can do nothing.” Yet we pass over those words of God so quickly, because we want to do things our way. The word “Nothing” is very encompassing, yet people think they can do a little something for God. They think that they are basically okay, but every now and then when they sin, then they need God to take care of that sin. Or they think that once they are in Christ Jesus, that now they can begin to work for God as though they are some kind of “big deal” because of all the “good” things they do for God. Folks, when are we going to get it into our heads, that we can’t do anything good apart from Christ Jesus living in us and through us? All we can do is offer our bodies as a perfect sacrifice to God (Romans 12:1), to allow him to live his life in and through us. There is nothing else we can do for God. NOTHING. … Listen to Broadcast & Read More

In Christ Jesus We are Saints

Classic Christianity – The Book of John P82 (08-14-23)

If You Are a Child of God, You are a Saint, NOT a Sinner!

~ Understanding our identity in Christ Jesus is paramount in our understanding of who we are in Christ Jesus and of how God sees us, as a saint, NOT a sinner. Satan loves to get a believer’s identity off of how God see us and instead focuses on the lies he has cooked up. A big lie today is that one is a sinner, even after coming to have the Holy Spirit live in you. Religion and Satan stroke that lie and that weakens the believer’s ability to live a Spirit controlled life. For if the believer constantly thinks of themselves as a sinner, then they are nothing more than a sinner saved by grace. There is no power in believing that lie. Satan will constantly point out your sinfulness and stroking the flesh. And the Holy Spirit is constantly telling us that God is no longer counting our sins against us. And for those who are in Christ Jesus there is no condemnation, plus we are told that the Holy Spirit lives in us and that … Listen to Broadcast & Read More

God Transforms You Into a Child of God

Classic Christianity – The Book of John P81 (08-09-23)

Jesus Is Talking Directly to You Through His Holy Spirit. Are You Listening?

~ Imagine talking directly with Jesus. Walking with Jesus. Listening to the very words spoken of by Jesus. Now remember this, the Holy Spirit that lives in us as believers is walking with Jesus everyday. We get to talk with Jesus at any moment of the day. We don’t have to walk up to the physical Jesus and ask Him questions. For His Spirit answers our questions before we even ask Him. For he knows what is coming. He knows what we need. He knows what we need to hear. He knows what we need to say. He knows all things and we live by faith from first to last. For he is our Life. He is our everything. Many times, in the body of flesh, we tend to rely on the flesh, instead of going to Him in prayer. We tend to place faith on our own understanding of things today. And part of that is because we ourselves have been deceived by the evil one. Yet it is in these last days that we must focus … Listen to Broadcast & Read More

Jesus Wants to Live His Life Through Us His Temple

Classic Christianity – The Book of John P80 (08-08-23)

Allow Christ Jesus to Live His Life Through You

~ When Jesus walked on the earth, the body of Christ was located in a small place in the world. The disciples spoke with him, asked him questions and he answered them. He also taught them what the word of God meant (even though they did not fully understand it at the time). God in flesh, Jesus walked the earth with men, and he even taught large multitudes of people and performed many mighty works. Yet Jesus said that we would do greater works than He. And we sometimes look at that particular verse and don’t even realize the greater works we ourselves are doing. For Jesus lives in us today (all who are born again of the Spirit), and the Body of Christ Jesus is now walking all over the world through and in us. For we are branches and he is the vine. Everything that flows out of us that is “good” is Him working in and through us. We don’t have any good in our flesh, and our flesh counts for nothing. For flesh and blood cannot inherit the … Listen to Broadcast & Read More

Jesus Loves You God Forgave You

Classic Christianity – The Book of John P74 (07-25-23)

Make Your Body Available to Jesus For Service to Him

~ In view of God’s mercy and love for us, we ought to love one another as he has loved us. How do we do that? By abiding in the Vine. For He is the vine and we are the branches. He wants us to simply be available to be used by Him. That is our proper worship and our daily sacrifice to Him. When a child of God is abiding in Him, the Holy Spirit will instruct us to do and say what the Spirit of God wants us to do and say. God is the one that will provide the fruit of the Spirit. We can’t do any of it ourselves, but only He can do all of it. Yet so many times, we forget the truth of the word of God in this area of our lives, and we try and go out grunting and groaning for God himself. We stop resting in Him and instead focus on what we think we ought to do, based on the energy of our flesh. We forget that He is the … Listen to Broadcast & Read More
