Romans 6:11 – Be ALIVE TO GOD, alert to Him, through Jesus Christ our Lord!
John the Baptist said the following: John 1:29 Behold the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world. Through the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, your sin has been removed – you have a clean slate! The word “condemnation” refers to an expression of very strong disapproval. Romans 8:1 There is therefore now NO…
When we gave our lives to the Lord, we were given a new clean slate Romans 5:1 says, Therefore being justified.. (just as if I have never sinned!) by faith we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. We need to understand what took place when the Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross. Jesus was…
Psalm 68:5 A father to the fatherless,… is God in His holy habitation. Isaiah 64:8 But now, 0 Lord, Thou art our father; we are the clay, and Thou our potter; and we all are the work of Thy hands. Matthew 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed by thy name. Romans…

At birth, “the water breaks” and the child is born of water. This view is supported by the parallel statement in the…
If you have given your life to Christ, you have experienced a new birth. When you became a new creation, you were born into a family. Jesus said: John 3:3 Except a man BE BORN AGAIN he cannot see the Kingdom of God. This statement almost seems to have shocked Nicodemus, and so he logically asked…
If you become hard in your spirit towards the Lord, and you no longer allow the Lord to apply the Word to your heart and life, something becomes hard on the inside. This hardness will stop the process of change. Some people have allowed the Lord to begin a change in their lives, but because…
2 Corinthians 5:17 (NIV) “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!” The Living Bible puts it this way: “When someone becomes a Christian he becomes a brand new person inside. He is not the same any more. A new life has begun!” When people…
