WHERE IS YOUR WEDDING GARMENT?

HOME OF ARTICLES. “So he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was speechless.” (Matthew 22:12 NKJV)   In the book of Matthew, chapter twenty-two, the Lord Jesus gives the parable of the Wedding Feast. This Parable features a certain King who prepared a marriage feast for his son and sent out his servants to call those invited to the marriage feast, but they would not come.   Parables can be prophetic, most of the parables in Matthew 13,  have prophetic or Eschatological  elements in them. The parables of the sower. The parables of the wheat and tears. The parables of the mustards seed. The parables of the leaven. The parables of the dragant. What's parables, the Etymology placing one thing besides another. Popular , an earthly story with a heavenly meaning.  Again, the King sent out other servants, saying, “ Tell those who are invited, “See, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and fatted cattle are killed, and all...

TRUE CHRISTIAN DISCIPLESHIP

HOME OF ARTICLES  “ Now when they saw that Peter and John were without fear, though they were men of no education or learning, they were greatly surprised; and they took note of them that they had been with Jesus.” (Acts 4:13 BBE)   After His resurrection from the dead, the Lord Jesus charged His disciples with great responsibility, saying,  “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, “teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.” (Matt. 28:19-20 NKJV). That is the Great Commission of the Church. That is the Church’s primary calling, purpose, and mission. Unfortunately, today, the Church’s emphasis, goal, or pursuit is far from making disciples for Christ of all nations. Today, the Church is into making several things of the people except making them true disciples of Christ. What an utter disregard for...

THE SPIRIT OF GRACE

  HOME OF ARTICLES  “Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.” (1 Corinthians 2:12 NKJV) All believers have equal rights and access to the inexhaustible riches of grace through faith in Jesus Christ (Romans. 5:1-2). But while some believers today are exploring, appropriating, experiencing, and enjoying the riches of grace, many are still languishing and sinking in the mire of sin and poverty. The variation or disparity is certainly not from God,  “For there is no partiality with God.” (Romans. 2:11 NKJV).   God has given every born-again believer the Spirit of grace, the Holy Spirit, to lead and guide us in exploring or discovering the riches of grace from our “grace-mine” (God’s Word). 1 Corinthians 2:12 – NKJV 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given t...

LIVING UNDER GRACE

        HOME OF ARTICLES   “ So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law.” (Galatians 5:1 NLT) One of the greatest privileges of being a New Testament believer is living under grace and not under the law. By His sinless life and sacrificial death on the cross, the Lord Jesus Christ has fulfilled the law, thereby bringing the dispensation of the law to a complete end. Therefore, believers in Christ are no longer under the law but under grace (Matt. 5:17, Romans. 10:4 ). Paul clearly states this truth. Romans 6:14 – NLT 14 Sin is no longer your master, for you no longer live under the requirements of the law. Instead, you live under the freedom of God’s grace. Living under grace implies having a personal, intimate, and loving relationship with God, not based on your self-righteousness, performance, or good works, but purely based on faith in the person of Jesus Christ and His finished work. ...

LIVING UNDER THE LAW

HOME OF ARTICLES  “ For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace. What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!” (Romans 6:14-15 NKJV)   The Lord Jesus Christ did not come to destroy, abolish, or make void the Law or the Prophets but to complete or fulfill it. Jesus said,  “ Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.” (Matt. 5:17 NKJV). Through Moses, the law God gave to His people found complete and perfect fulfillment in Christ. Jesus Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. Romans 10:4 – AMP 4 For Christ is the end of the Law [the limit at which it ceases to be, for the Law leads up to Him Who is the fulfillment of its types, and in Him the purpose which it was designed to accomplish is fulfilled. That is, the purpose of the Law is fulfilled in Him] as the means of righteousness (right relationship to ...
