Doctrines of truth.

Let me ask you a question are you saved? Does your life reveal the power of God or doesn't reveal your own power which is being misused right now? The reason why am bringing up the power of God is because a lot of people claim to have strength and power from God when in fact the power comes from their own selves. Do you boast about today and do you boast about tomorrow or do you worry that you will not have enough to make it for today or tomorrow? God did not create us to question him all the time that is to question his love, for the Bible says that God is love and we are to trust in God's love if we want to be one of his children. What does it mean to be a child of God? In essence all of us are part of the human race but that does not mean that every single person living on earth is a child of God. God created humanity to glorify him more specifically to glorify his son Jesus Christ are you doing that with your life? You may ask why does God need to be glorified that's a good question? God needs to be glorified because we are his creation in order to be truly happy we need to ascribe glory or worth to the one who created us that is what it means to glorify God.

When we take the credit for things done in our own lives or in the flesh we fail to recognize that it was God working through you who created those things so therefore God must be acknowledged or else he will not acknowledge us. The Bible says it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God what exactly does that mean and what does it look like? It means failing to give God the glory and in return God removes his glory from our lives in other words he gives us over to our sin. It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God because when we are given over to our sin we are completely ignorant to what God wants for our lives. The only path to true happiness and freedom is found in the living God who is revealed through the person of Jesus Christ. When we reject Gods son, more specifically what he has done for us that in essence what we are saying is that we don't need God in our lives, God is our Creator. Only the hardest of criminals and impenitent sinners can testify what it means to be given over to there sin. Even when God gives us over To our sin there is grace and mercy that he uses to draw us back into right relationship with him or into relationship for the first time. But if we remain cold and impenitent there is nothing that God can do not only to draw us back to himself but to save our souls from an eternity in hell.

This is precisely the danger and falling from the grace that God offers to us. You may say that doctrine is not important at this point, but I conceded is more important than ever! The Bible tells us that we are to abide or remain in Christ and how else can we do so unless we are taught what the Scripture says about salvation justification and sanctification. There are many churches who believe in different doctrines according to the three things that I just mentioned but in essence the Bible only teaches one doctrine in accordance with what the scriptures have always confirmed that Christ saves us through the cross of his salvation and justifies us through his resurrection and sanctifies us through the Holy Spirit. This is true salvation. The meritorious death of Jesus Christ on the cross for the payment of all of our sins for the full payment of our past sins our present sins and our future sins is this what you're looking for?

If so trust that you cannot save yourself Nor can your good works or anything else that you been trying to do. Only what Christ has done on the cross in other words the Gospel of your salvation is what can and will save you if you're willing to put your faith and trust in what Jesus did for you on the cross and rose again on the third day confessing him as Lord and Savior of your life. Believing the right things matter and if you have a wrong idea of what the Trinity is or the resurrection you may have a false understanding of salvation. For more teaching on this look up Orthodox Christian doctrine, salvation, resurrection, justification, the Trinity and sanctification. Thanks for reading.

Catholic Identity.

  I was born into the Catholic Church and was baptized as an infant, I had my first communion and reconciliation as a child, and was confirmed as a teenager. Although I was never devout, I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Saviour when I was 21 through an evangelical Christian radio ministry, which in turn gave new life to my Catholic faith. Although I remained a Catholic, I identified as a born again Christian. It wasn’t until much later in my life that I learned the difference between the two denominations and what they taught about being born again. Regardless, there was a significant change in my life back then, which continues to this day. Being Catholic is much like an identity to me and I remember growing up under the papacy of St. Pope John Paul II. The culture I grew up in was largely affected by his papacy, and the way the culture viewed the church was significantly different from the way the current culture views it. Growing up, the pope didn’t try to be rele...

Age of Brokenness.

  We are living in an age of brokenness, no matter what age you are, you probably have been touched with relationships falling apart, which causes more and more people to live in isolation. In this generation there is less of an incentive to heal and reconcile relationships, but that doesn’t excuse the amount of people who are broken. Why people don’t seem to be motivated to heal relationships is because our beliefs about faith and God have changed, really giving us less of an incentive to do what our religion says. If I act from my personal beliefs, but the person that I am responding to has abandoned religious beliefs, than the response to my wanting things to be better can be misinterpreted and rejected then by someone else. Generally when a society has expectations about broken relationships, loneliness and isolation, and the beliefs are generally accepted, society becomes a more compassionate society, because all value the same things. When religious values are undermined and ...

The Biblical Meaning of “Life in the Spirit.”

  “Life in the Spirit” is an example that the Apostle Paul gives in the book of Romans starting in chapter 5 and going through to chapter 8. He begins by telling us we are justified by faith (5:1), and have gained access by faith into the grace of God (5:2). We have been delivered from God’s wrath (5:9) and we have been reconciled to God through the death of His Son (5:10). He goes on to explain that through Adam all die (5:12), and that the free Gift of God brings justification and righteousness to the believing sinner (5:15-17).   Through our conversion we are baptized into Christ and into his death, which frees us from the law and makes us dead to sin (6:2-4). He explains that just as Christ was raised from the dead, we are given new life in Christ (6:4). Our old unregenerate self was crucified with Christ so that our body of sin might be done away with (6:5-6). Because we have died to sin, we now submit ourselves to God being that we are now under grace, not the law (6:8-1...
