romans-7:15

We get three things spoken of here: one that we have not got, and two that we have. The thing we have not got is rest: There remaineth a rest for the people of God. The prophet says, "Arise ye, and depart, for this is not your rest, for it is polluted." (Micah 2:10.) We are partakers of the divine n... Read More

{Similar to, perhaps extracted from, 'Why do I groan?' C.W. 12 Evangelical vol. 1, page 186.} God is made known to us as the "God of all Grace," and the position in which we are set is that of "tasting that He is gracious." How hard it is for us to believe this, that the Lord is gracious. The natura... Read More

(Words of Faith, Vol. 3, 1884, page 261.) John 1. In the first part of this chapter we get abstractedly what Christ was: the Word, the Word with God, and who was God - life and light. An important element is brought out here, and that is, that when divine light came into the world in grace, the worl... Read More

WHY DO I GROAN? ROMANS 7 AND 8 THERE is nothing so hard for our hearts as to abide in the sense of grace, to continue practically conscious that " we are not under law, but under grace." It is by grace that the heart is "established"; but then there is nothing more difficult for us really to compreh... Read More

I dare not leave you with your eyes half open, like him who saw 'men as trees walking' [Mark 8:24]. The Word is profitable for doctrine as well as reproof. And therefore, having thus far conducted you by the shelves and rocks of so many dangerous mistakes, I would guide you at length into the haven ... Read More

Romans 7:15-18 Verse 17, "Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me." Man has a dual nature. He desires good but does evil. This is due to the sin dwelling in us in our flesh. You cannot follow the law according to the mind of the spirit. The Holy Spirit God reveals to you tha... Read More

In the late seventies, God very graciously opened an itinerant ministry to me. As I began to travel, I found that I had access to church growth records, and found to my horror that something like 80 to 90% of those making a decision for Christ were falling away from the faith. That is, modern evange... Read More

FIVE "MUSTS" OF THE MESSAGE by Ralph Sutera Part 4 We live in an age where western-style culture has permeated our thinking of what is normal for a Christian. The philosophy of our age is in thinking "What is in it for me?" God's message is not that at all, and any ministry that projects such thinki... Read More

For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God; for the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will but by the will of him who subjected it in hope; because the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and obtain the glorious liberty of t...

Matthew 26:41 says, “Keep watching and praying that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Our Lord Jesus Christ, in His last hour, taught His disciples something important: they needed to be alert and have a prayerful heart in their daily life. By the grac... Read More
