Matthew 6:14-15- 1 4 “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."  Matthew 6:14-15. Let's see a quick background for context. Christ said to His disciples in John 16: 23 “And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you. 24 Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full. 25 “These things I have spoken to you in figurative language; but the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but I will tell you plainly about the Father. 26 In that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I shall pray the Father for you; 27 for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me, and have believed that I came forth from God. 28 I came forth from the Father and ha...

The account of the salvation of the woman with an issue of blood  (Luke 8:43-48). The story of her salvation is similar to mine. Like the woman, I   got so drained and exhausted trying to get clean/escape the curse by keeping the Law as we were told to do in church but no matter how hard I tried, I could not. One day, I told God that I couldn't do it anymore and that He should do whatever He wanted with me. I gave up on my efforts at making myself clean and acceptable and basically threw myself at His mercy. I had no idea that the purpose of the Law was being fulfilled in my life: Romans 3:19-20- "Obviously, the law applies to those to whom it was given, for its purpose is to keep people from having excuses, and to show that the entire world is guilty before God. 20 For no one can ever be made right with God by doing what the law commands. The law simply shows us how sinful we are." Also Romans 5:20- "The law was given so that sin would increase. But where sin...

Proverbs 27:7 provides the answer to this question- “A satisfied soul loathes the honeycomb, But to a hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet." People are hungry for the Truth that makes free but what is being preached in some places of worship brings neither life nor freedom. Rather, it brings a fear (of God's wrath) that beats churchgoers into submission to false doctrine preachers who claim to know how to avert this wrath. It is the same seemingly good doctrine that Satan preached to Eve in Eden - one which promotes the attainment of godliness (be like God) by human striving. Many televangelists preach the true gospel: God's saving Grace who is Jesus Christ Himself as it is written in Titus 2:11- "God’s marvelous grace has manifested in person, bringing salvation for everyone.” But others are simply using different tools of the same root ( the attainment of godliness by human effort as Satan preached to Eve ) to keep helpless churchgoers who are yet to s...

he church ( made up of both Jews and Gentiles who believe in Jesus - having Him as our utter Source of Righteousness and Strength ) is the bride of Christ. Romans 7 describes our relationship with our Saviour Jesus Christ in terms of what it is: a marriage. In union with Him, having Him as our Bridegroom with we His bride (believers) being utterly dependent on Him for bearing fruit, we do not continue to wallow in sins or have no fruit/works to show for our faith as antichrist pastors who twist " faith without works is dead"  love to imply. Christ has all it takes to cause us to bear the fruit of godliness and moral excellence. These virtues are fruits of being under  Grace . Understand that Grace is not a subject or topic. Grace is a Person. His name is Jesus Christ. Titus 2:11 says of Him: "God’s marvelous grace has manifested in person, bringing salvation for everyone." With this understanding and by seeing our relationship with Christ as a marriage, we ...
