Peace

There is no peace for the wicked. Even if it looks peaceful on the outside it is nothing but the ignorance of the danger living in sin. We must always examine ourselves as we will give an account to the Lord. The following are borrowed from Thomas Watson’s A Body of Divinity to explain this further. “May grace and peace be multiplied to you.” 1 Peter 1:2 Having spoken of the first fruit of…

Assurance

We are bidden to make our calling and election sure with fear and trembling. What responsibility yet what comfort because He who begins a good work in us is faithful and will bring it to completion. We who holds to Him has a tighter hold on us. We who strives to keep our faith to Him has kept us all our lives. The following are borrowed from Thomas Watson’s A Body of Divinity to explain this…

Sanctification

Christian’s life does not stop at justification. It begins from it and followed by adoption and then sanctification all our lives being conformed to Christ likeness, makes us holy in our remaining lifetime. Holiness is the quintessence of joy and it allows us to see beyond the judgment seat, the mercy seat of Christ. The following are borrowed from Thomas Watson’s A Body of Divinity to explain…

Adoption

Unbelievers called God a judge but believers called Him father. “How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.” 1 John 3:1.” The following are borrowed from Thomas Watson’s A Body of Divinity to explain this further. “As many as received him, to them gave…

Efectual Calling

Many are called but few are chosen. Yet it is all of God’s grace when He bestows mercy to one and passes by another. Yet if we are recipient of free grace, we should all the more be humbled and awe at his loving mercy that even though we deserve to be bound to hell due to our gigantic sins, God chooeses to reveal His love for the likes of us who once walk in the imagination of our own hearts. The…

The APPLICATION of Redemption - Faith

There is a knowledge of God that does not save or justify and there is a saving knowledge which indeed justifies and saves a man. Faith without works is dead. That faith must manifest surrender and obedience in our lives. God does not cast out weak faith but he cuts off rotten and dead ones. The following are borrowed from Thomas Watson’s A Body of Divinity to explain this further. “I have been…

Christ The Redeemer

It took more for God to save us than to create the universe. In creation He created all from nothing by the power of His words. In salvation He made us sinners or mass of corruption and renewed it, it took His very son to became flesh, fulfill the law while He lived among us and paid the price of our sins by suffering on the Calvary and ultimately shed His blood and broke His bones on the cross.…

Christ's Humiliation in His Incarnation

A thing to be grasped- that the Son of most high God will take the form of sinful man and sacrifice himself and be humiliated and suffer for our sins. Let us reminisce and never forget this amazing love. We humans tend to be forgetful and tend to take things for granted. The following are borrowed from Thomas Watson’s A Body of Divinity to explain this further. “Great is the mystery of…

Christ's Kingly Office

“Many would have Christ their Savior to save them from hell—but not their King to rule them; such as will not have Christ to be their king to rule over them, shall never have his blood to save them”. Most of us wants the benefits of being saved but a saving knowledge of God means and will compel us to serve Him because He is worthy and the one and only true God. The following are borrowed from…

Christ's Intercession

The enemy is always on the hunt, accussing and dividing the body of Christ. When we fall into sin, we get so guilty and sometimes we ask ourselves are we even saved or a Christian at all? Yes you are beloved if there is a struggle within you it very much means Christ is interceding for you and that the Holy Spirit is at work within you. The following are borrowed from Thomas Watson’s A Body of…
