Spiritual Discovery of Christ JESUS the LORD ~ The Door of Hope

"And ye shall seek Me, and find Me, when ye shall search for Me with all your heart." - Jeremiah 29:13 [KJV] After the Lord has quickened our souls, for a time we often go, shall I say, blundering on, not knowing there is a Jesus. We think that the way of life is to keep God's commandments, obey the law, cleanse ourselves from sin, reform our lives, and cultivate universal holiness in thought, word, and action; and so we go, blundering and stumbling on in darkness; and all the while never get a single step forward.    But when the Lord has suffered us to weary ourselves to find the door, and let us sink lower and lower into the pit of guilt and ruin, from feeling that all our attempts to extricate ourselves have only plunged us deeper and deeper, and the Spirit of God opens up to the understanding and brings into the soul some spiritual discovery of Jesus, and thus makes known that there is a Saviour, a Mediator, and a way of escape—this is the grand turning-point in our...

By Nature Man is In A Dangerous Condition

     If one workman should tell you that “your house must be pulled down, that the beams are all rotten, and new materials must be prepared;” and another should say, “No; the house will stand firm enough with a little repair, such a beam is good, such a spar may continue, and a trifling cost will serve the turn:” you would probably listen to him who is for putting you to the least expense and trouble. An honest and faithful minister of Christ comes and tells sinners from the Scriptures that man is, by nature, in a dangerous condition; that his house is tumbling about his ears; that his natural state is corrupt and rotten; that nothing of the original frame will serve; that old things must be done away, and all things become new.  Next, in steps an Arminian and blows up the sinner’s pride, by telling him that he is neither so weak, nor so wicked, as the other represents him; that a little patching and whitewashing will set all to rights, without taking any part of the...

Rescued from Imminent Danger ~ 21 October, 2026 A.D.

What Does it Mean to be Saved?   Hebrews 7:25, “ Wherefore He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him, seeing He ever lives to make intercession for them.”   Jesus saves to the uttermost ...but what does that mean? It means He is able, willing, and ready to completely, perfectly and utterly save.  His uttermost salvation means that we have salvation to the fullest extent! Since there is nothing beyond the uttermost there can be nothing lacking in God’s salvation.  Christ has removed every power and enemy that has attempted to roadblock our salvation. He saves to the uttermost! But let´s now ask, What does it mean to be saved? Simply put, when we are saved we have salvation.   But what is salvation?   One of the things that salvation means is that we have been rescued and delivered from imminent danger. One of the earliest expressions of salvation being equated with deliverance from danger is found in Exodus 14. At that time, M...

ETERNALLY SAVED BY CHRIST's DEATH ~ Greatly Rejoice, friends...

     “Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died.”   -Romans 8:34 [KJV] And what if He did not die? Cain would be condemned, and so would Abel. Esau would be cut off, but so would Jacob. Pharaoh would be damned, but so would Moses. Judas would be cast into the lake of fire, but so would Peter, James, and John. Agrippa would perish, but so would Paul. The point is, our sole and only reason for being saved is His death. “ If when we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son .”   God was completely satisfied by the death of His Son. His justice was honored, sin was punished, paid for, and put away. God can ask for nothing more! And however satisfied He is with the death of His Son is how satisfied He is with those He died for. Oh how glorious is the death of Christ. It is the subject of the eternities! It is the sure and only ground of the salvation of the believer.  -preacher Todd Nibert

Generous Love & Sincere Friendship

" Then said Jonathan unto David, Whatsoever thy soul desireth, I will even do it for thee ."   -I Samuel 20:4 [KJV] Such is the language of generous love, and sincere friendship. There never was a greater instance of it, subsisting between men, than between Jonathan and David. Poor David was in great distress. Saul sought his life. He flies to his friend Jonathan, opens his whole heart to him, and solemnly assures him, “As thy soul liveth, there is but one step between me and death.” On which, Jonathan thus declares his love and faithfulness. “Whatsoever thy soul desireth, I will even do it for thee.” How must David’s heart be affected by this noble, this loving promise! O Christian, here is somewhat very similar to thine own case. Consider,    (1st.) There is but a step between thee and death. Thou knowest not how soon thy last step may be taken. What friend hast thou to go to? Verily, the King’s Son, the Son of God. As Jonathan signifies, given of the Lord: so Jesus ...

Alll the Increase of GOD Must Flourish

"Thy plants are an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruits, camphor with spikenard, spikenard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense, myrrh, and aloes, with all the chief spices." -Song of Solomon 4:13, 14 [KJV] Hear, my soul, what Christ, thy Husband and thy Saviour, saith to the church! and as thou art a part of it in Him, take it to thyself. Surely the church of Jesus is His garden, and every plant in it, which the heavenly Father hath planted, must flourish, with all the increase of God, as trees of the Lord's right-hand planting. Even the tenderest plants, the youngest of His people, form a part in this orchard of pomegranates; for every one hath been taken out of nature's wild wilderness, and brought, by sovereign and distinguishing grace, into the Lord's garden, His church; and, like pomegranates, a large and full-bearing fruit, sweet and delicious, they are in Jesus' eye most pleasant, from the beauty and comeliness He...

FOR YOUR SPIRITUAL GOOD

"Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours; whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours; and ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's." -I Corinthians 3:21-23 [KJV]   Whatever there be in heaven, whatever there be in earth, that can be for your spiritual good, all is yours so far as you are an heir of God and a joint-heir with Christ. The silver and the gold and the cattle upon a thousand hills are all Christ's because all power is given to Him in heaven and in earth. Whatever your temporal wants may be, He can supply them, because He is king on earth as well as in heaven. Whatever enemies you may have, He is able to defeat them; whatever evils may press upon you, He is able to subdue them; whatever sorrows surround you, He is able to console you under them. Everything in time, everything in eternity, in this world and in the world to come, are all on your side, that are h...
