Salvation - In Three Tenses

Salvation is to be experienced by us in three tenses- past, present and future. We have been saved from the penalty of sin. Now we must be saved from the power of sin. Then finally, we will be saved from the very presence of sin. It is a good saying that half-truth is even more dangerous than a lie. A lie we can detect at some point of time in the future. But if we believe a half truth, there is a possibility that we would never come to the full truth. Gospel is the gospel of God. It doesn’t need any human touch on it. It is the most powerful message in the universe. None can remain the same if he encounters the gospel of Jesus Christ. If a 100kg concrete block falls on you, you will never be the same. You cannot say, nothing happened to me. Gospel is heavier than the heaviest substance in the whole universe! Apostle Paul says in  Romans 1 , “I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to...

Lesson From Adam And Eve

Adam could have repented and come back to God. God gave him a chance to repent. But instead of admitting the fault he blamed his wife (Genes 3:12). If Adam had admitted the fault of disobedience to God, God would have forgiven him. God could have stopped Eve from sinning. Do you think God did not know when satan was entering the garden of Eden? Was God unaware of satan tempting His precious child Eve? The closing of  Genesis 3  speaks about God keeping Cheru-bims to watch over the garden with a flaming sword ( Genesis 3:24 ). Why did not God set that watch in the beginning, so that satan would not have entered the garden or why had not God kept the flaming sword near the tree of knowledge of good and evil ( Genesis 2:9 ,17), so that Adam and Eve would never dare to go near it? God did not do it. God did not keep His angels to have a watch over Adam and Eve as to what they are doing. Why did not God keep them from sinning? The answer is very simple, if we know the will of God. ...

Fear - How To Overcome It?

  How to live in an anxious world and yet have peace and joy in life? There are hundreds of reasons to be afraid. But only one reason not to be afraid that is our faith in God and our Lord Jesus Christ. There are two kinds of fear! One is Divine and the other is demonic! Fear is a painful emotion or passion caused by an expectation of evil or suspicion of impending danger. Fear manifests itself in many ways. Some of the more serious ways include panic attacks, which are defined as “sudden, brief episodes of intense fear”, and phobias, which are defined as “persistent, irrational fears of an object or situation that presents no real threat”. Fear is the belief that someone or something poses a threat. It is the anticipation of danger, evil, or pain that may be real or imaginary. It can be crippling and/or controlling, and this is why fear is one of the tactics Satan uses to grab hold of us. There are two kinds of fear a) Fear that drives us away (demonic) b) Fear that draws us nearb...
