Kept From the Evil Acts 14: 3, 4 Not only does the Lord Jesus Christ sanctify us by giving us the word of life in our hearts at conversion, but once the Lord Jesus creates this division between the believer and the unbeliever, between our old man and the new, between the spirit and the […]
New Heaven and New Earth Revelation 21:1 And he that sat upon the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” (Revelation 21: 5). The believer is looking for a new heaven and a new earth (2 Peter 3: 10-13.) In the end, the new creation will have none of the dividing effects of sin, […]

Doing And Teaching Matthew 5: 19:…But whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
