Download or read book The Efficiency of God s Grace in Bringing Gain Saying Sinners to Christ written by Simeon Ashe and published by Puritan Publications. This book was released on 2016-11-18 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God’s power and saving hand is the only means to turn a fallen sinner from darkness to the Light of Christ. This was the basic and fundamental teaching about salvation that Jesus Christ taught. God demonstrates through the entire Bible that the only means by which men may be saved is through the regenerating power of the Spirit of God changing their heart, and making them a new creature in Christ, because of Christ, and for Christ’s glory. Simeon Ashe proves this from the text of John 6:44, “No man can come unto me except the Father which hath sent me draw him, and I will raise him up at the last day.” He covers six doctrines out of this text, stemming from a divine affection, “no man can come to me except the Father which has sent me draw him.” And a precious promise, “and I will raise him up at the last day.” He precisely confirms this by six important doctrines: that Christ as mediator between God and man was sent by the Father. That all men in their natural condition are absent and at a distance from Christ. That there is a necessity of man’s coming to Christ. That all those who come to Christ are drawn to him, for no man comes to Christ without being drawn. That the drawing of sinful souls to Christ is the peculiar work of God. He then demonstrates in a chapter on drawing sinners to Christ, how that drawing occurs through conviction and conversion, and shows that this one text alone demolishes the Arminian idea that man’s will is free to come to God at any time. Instead, following Christ’s words, he teaches that in the point of man’s free will and power, people come to Christ at God’s sovereign pleasure. Ashe teaches that not only is there solid, incontrovertible biblical evidence for a sinful man to be drawn to Christ by the efficient power of the Lord’s regenerating Spirit (Christ’s specific teaching on the matter), but that there are a host of biblical arguments which persuade gratitude from the Christian for such drawing. This work is not a scan or facsimile, has been carefully transcribed by hand being made easy to read in modern English, and has an active table of contents for electronic versions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DO YOU WANT TO KNOW YOUR SPIRITUAL BENEFITS, THOSE THAT ARE AFFORDED THROUGH THE GRACE OF GOD? Do you feel trapped or engulfed by religious legalism? Are you desiring a meaningful relationship with the Lord rather than a checklist of rules? This book is for you. "Being a Christian is not about being perfect. In fact, we can never live up to the letter of the law. It is only when we let go of our constant striving for perfection that we encounter true perfection." Derek Prince In this book, Spellman discuss how there are multitudes of Christians who think it's okay to habitually sin, because God's grace is accessible in the person of Christ Jesus. According to the Bible, the Lord has set boundaries to help us walk in the light. Romans 6:1,6 says "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound. Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?" There are many profound books written on the subject of grace, Spellman is prayerful this book will reaffirm the richness and beauty of grace. God's grace is absolutely magnificent, no amount of pages, pamphlets, books, lectures, songs or messages can do justice or express the wealth and depth of His unmerited favor. With a focus on winning souls for the kingdom of God, Apostle Donald Spellman ministers healing and restoration-spiritually, physically, and emotionally-to the body of Christ. A pastor with military and civil service, together with his wife and co-founder of Living Word of Grace Ministries, they lead an apostolic ministry team and host a regular radio broadcast. www.lwogministries.org

Download or read book Truth the Great Business of Our Times written by John Maynard and published by Puritan Publications. This book was released on 2022-08-08 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The truth of God is the foundation of all true religion. This is why the first commandment in Exodus 20, in order to love God with all your heart, soul and mind, is to have no other gods before him, and to take God as your God, in the way God has revealed himself. God has deposited his truth, his will, his word, into the hands of the church (into the very heart of the church). It has been delivered to them. “…that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints,” (Jude 1:3). Maynard’s exposition of the “truth” comes from Proverbs 23:23, “Buy the truth and sell it not.” He gives two propositions that serve as his doctrines: 1.) An affirmative, or precept, Buy Truth, and, 2.) A negative, or prohibition, Sell it not. In this, Maynard shows 1. What is this Truth which we are required to buy? 2. What does it mean to buy Truth? 3. From whom must it be bought? 4. Why is this purchase necessary? In his second address, he covers Philippians 3:21, “According to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.” He will argue for Christ’s kingship, that the work and merit of the Savior is both a current reality in subduing his enemies, and a future reality in its completion. In light of this, he argues that if the Lord has honored you by adopting you into his family, it behooves you to render your absolute service to the King of heaven. Not only that you would see the delights surrounding the cross of Christ, but also the wonders surrounding the crown of the King. Not only that you would love the sweet Savior, but also that you would heed his commands and his truth as the commanding King.

Download or read book Grace Is Greater written by Kyle Idleman and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2017-02-28 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The writer of the letter to the Hebrews said, "See to it that no one misses the grace of God." Over the centuries much ink has been spilled on the subject of grace. Yet perhaps nothing is as hard to explain as God's grace. It doesn't make sense. It's not fair. It can't possibly cover over what I've done. The best way--perhaps the only real way--to understand it is to experience it. But too often in our churches we're not getting grace across and grace is not experienced. Bestselling author and pastor Kyle Idleman wants everyone to experience the grace of God. Through the powerful medium of story, Grace Is Greater leads readers past their hang-ups toward an understanding of grace that is bigger than our mistakes, our failures, our desire for revenge, and our seemingly impossible situations. No sin is so great, no bitterness so deep that God's grace cannot transform the heart and rewrite the story. Perfect for individuals and also for small groups and church-wide studies, Grace Is Greater will help readers truly grasp God's grace, even if the Christians around them have failed to live it.

Download or read book EXCEEDINGLY ABUNDANT GRACE written by GODSWORD GODSWILL ONU and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-03-26 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is grace? It is said that grace is unmerited favour. Paul said, "Now to him who works, the wages are not counted as grace but as debt" (Rom. 4:4). Therefore we can deduct that grace is the reward or blessing that is given to someone when the person did not work for it. It is grace that brought us from sin to righteousness, from the kingdom of darkness to the Kingdom of Light. The Word of God says, "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the Gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast" (Eph. 2:8-9). We were saved by the Grace of God when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ and accepted Him into our lives. The Love and Grace of God is seen in what He did for us, in that He raised us up together with Christ Jesus, and seated us together with Him at His Own Right Hand.
