A Conversation About Jesus

                                      New                                        Hypostatic Union of Jesus Christ 

My friends, this will not be your basic Bible study about Jesus’ earthly ministry, which resulted in his death, burial and resurrection. I need to know more about my Lord and Savior than that, and I hope you do too. I need to know everything that God’s Holy Word has to say about Him.

A Conversation about SIN

My friends, wouldn’t you agree that our lives today are surrounded by almost every kind of evil and wickedness that man can imagine. This evil causes wars, fighting, pain, greed, hate, envy, quarreling, dishonesty, injustice and murder.  Do you know someone who constantly breaks their promises and at times seem so heartless, and callous when they want something you have?  All of this evil and wickedness that is in the world today finds its root cause in one word, “SIN.

The Salvation Trinity
Justification, Sanctification, Glorification

Why do I look and act the way I do?  Why am I here, what is the purpose for my life?  Does God even know I exist? And what’s really in it for me? If you have ever asked yourself any of these questions, you are not alone. Would you believe that you can find the answers to not only these questions but many others in the Bible?

"Justification" Freedom from the Penalty of Sin

know that a person is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified. Galatians 2:16 (NIV)
"Sanctification" Freedom from the Control of Sin

My friend, if you still feel you are missing something in your Christian life, you’re not alone. The simple truth is that you’re trying to live your Christian life through your old sinful nature, and it just won’t work. The Bible teaches us that there is only one way to live your life now and that simple answer is to live your life through Jesus.

who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, to be obedient to Jesus Christ and sprinkled with his blood: 1 Peter 1:2 (NIV)

"Glorification" Freedom from the Existence of Sin

Eternity!  Have you ever really thought about it?  We’re here on earth for a brief 70 or 80 years and then we die.  Is that it?  No, my friend, for Christians, our journey is just beginning.  What’s ahead for you and me is a wonderful future that God Himself has prepared for us.

The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him. Romans 8:16-17 (NASB)
