Have you been born again? Some of us have assumed we are Christian because we prayed to receive Christ many years ago…
Are you conscious of being led by the Spirit? If you are a son or daughter of God, you will be conscious of the Holy Spirit’s leading.
When the Lord comes as triumphant Judge and King, every knee will bow, and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
Christ, the Son of God, who is God Himself, emptied Himself and humbled Himself for the sake of all He came to represent.
If Christ is your King, glorify Him. Glorify Him individually, as families and as a church.
We need the Lord Jesus to be our Great High Priest because there is no way we can approach the holy heavenly Father otherwise.
Jesus Christ is the Word of God. That is, He is the revelation of God. He reveals God to us.
Christ must take on human nature in the same way that all human beings take on their nature. As we are conceived in our mother’s womb, so it must be for Him.
