Even the best laid plans of mice and men can go awry, and I without the best laid plan, missed a house group this morning. The Bible portion for discussion was an interesting section: 2 Pt.1:12-21. Assuming Petrine authorship, we can see that Peter had big themes on his mind.
His core identity...
Salvation is the finished work of Jesus on the Cross.
This is defined as the "blood atonement" as explained as the "new Covenant".
A.) "without the shedding of Blood there is no forgiveness of sin".
The Cross is where Jesus shed His BLOOD and DIED for us, .... and the resurrection proves its...
Hello Everyone,

From The Lord, Our God and Savior
For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear
“For those who preach grace in place of The Law do not know Me, neither do I dwell in them. For this is that same wall, which they have built in an attempt to bar the way of those who preach The Law, that they might avoid...

Reader,
For you to go to Heaven, you have to become as Righteous as God. As it only the righteous who exist there and who are allowed to stay there once they arrive.
And the problem is, you have no way to become righteous. You have already sinned, so, that's it.
So, you now have this to...

its pretty obvious that Satan's intent for everyone is to cause them to end up in Hell.
That's Job #1.
However, once you are born again, and have become a part of God's Heavenly Spiritual Family, .. Satan can't lead you to hell, so, he has a different plan for you if you are born again, and...

Being a real disciple, .........
So, first..... lets qualify "REAL"
Everyone who is born again, has become a disciple.
This is like, everyone who has joined the army, gets a uniform, and learns how to march.

Did you ever wonder why God gave the LAW first, and much later Jesus was given as God's Grace?
Its because the Law is necessary to be in place to REVEAL us, as we are, in relation to God's Holiness.
This is the actual purpose of the Law, the specific purpose.
Its to reveal you, as...

Now, if we really want to drill it down, then we surely understand that salvation started in the "foreknowledge of God", where everything began.
So, God created Salvation, in His Foreknowledge, as He knew what Satan would do, and He knew what Adam and Eve would do, and He knew what He would...

Saint,
How are you actually born again?
What literally happens. ?

So lets look at what it means to be : BORN AGAIN.....how it happens...
There are 2 dominions, spiritually..... that exist In the Spiritual Realm.
1. Law
2. Grace.
WE<>Everyone : are under one or the other.
When we are under the law, the law has dominion and it judges us.
Its the law that judges and defines us as a : "SINNER".
When we are born again, we are...

You are here because you want to serve God with power, and you want to know how.
