TOPIC: THE ELDER's CREED (Part 4)

TEXT: 1 John 1:1-4

Key verse: John 17:8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me;and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, andthey have believed that thou didst send me.

From Delightful Revelation Of Heaven And How To Get There by Pastor Paul Rika:

11. We universally believe that the death of Christ was vicarious and propitiatory and that by it divine justice is satisfied and God can be just and the justifier of all who believe in Christ Jesus, and that pardon and salvation is freely
offered to all men, upon repentance and faith.

12. We believe God did foreordain and devise a plan from the foundation of the world by which He would save man, and further, He did foreordain from the beginning, all men throughout the ages who would accept and be willing to conform to this plan, should be saved; so that everyone in harmony with His power and liberty of choice who shall choose eternal life through God's plan was foreordained to eternal salvation.

13. True repentance is a condition of soul before God, wrought by the operations of the Spirit of God upon the heart, and soul of man whereby he is made to see and feel the sinfulness of his sins, and also to forsake them utterly, and with full purpose of heart to yield obedience to God in the future.

14. Justification can only follow true repentance and is an act of God's free grace wherein He pardoneth the sins of man, and accepteth him as righteous in His sight, only for the sake of Christ.

15. True unfeigned faith in God believes all that God has said, commanded, promised or threatened. It is dependent upon testimony, and is valuable to us as the truth itself. We can believe in men. We are responsible for our faith, for one may believe a lie as he does the truth. The truth only can make him free.
True saving, faith leads the soul to trust itself to the all-atoning merits of the sacrificial death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

16. Adoption is an act of God whereby the believing sinner is received into the family of God, with all the rights and privileges of His children in which he becomes an heir of God with a right and, a title to eternal life.

13. The new birth of which our Lord spoke is that, mighty change wrought of God in the soul of man, when He imparts to him eternal life and renews him in the image of God. This change is the work of the Holy Spirit wrought in man,
convincing of sin, and leading him to repentance and faith whereby he is born from above with eternal life as a gift from God.

Thought for the day: True unfeigned faith in God believes all that God has said.

Song for the day: Forever O Lord, Thy word is settled in heaven.

Bible reading for the day: 2 Kings 18-19; John 6:22-44

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
