Redeem the #Time

Ephesians 5:15, “See then that you walk circumspectly.” By the way, what a circumspectly mean? We don’t even use this word anymore. It means cautiously. “Walk cautiously, not as fools, but as wise redeeming the time because the days are evil.” Every day we have 24 hours. Every day we are going to buy up a certain amount of that time for eternity. The time that we spend in fellowship with the Lord, in the filling of the Spirit, bearing the fruit of the Spirit.

Can you #love the unlovable?

Are there people in your family you don’t like? Are there neighbors that you don’t like? Ephesians 5:2 says, “walk in love as Christ loved us and gave Himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.” You know, when that Good Samaritan came along and found that guy beat up in the ditch? It cost him.

By #Grace Saved #Forever

Ephesians 2:5 contains the parenthesis “by grace you have been saved.” This is a perfect paraphrastic, but a perfect paraphrastic is a present tense of the verb “eimi” which is the verb “to be” connected with a perfect tense verb of the word “to save.” If I put it in English the way that it comes through in the Greek, “by grace you have been saved in the past with the result that you’re saved today, with a result that you will be saved forever.”

But #God

There are two words that just make the sun shine for me. It just is just like the sun breaking out from behind the dark stone clouds. And you see them there in verse four, “But God.” What a glorious and blessed conjunction of contrast, “But God.” What has God done through Christ? Well, let’s read it here in Ephesians 2:4-7. “But God, who is rich in mercy because of His great love with which He loved us even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ.”

Rejecting the #Gospel of #JesusChrist

In Ephesians 2:1-3, Paul talks about three things we were without Christ. 1) We were spiritually dead. 2) We were spiritually enslaved. 3) We were children of wrath. Why were we dead? Why were we enslaved? Why were we children of wrath? Look at the little phrase, “sons of disobedience.” How the word disobedience comes from the verb peithō and the verb that means “to be convinced, convicted, so as to trust in.” And in other words, you are persuaded and therefore you “trust in.”

A False #Gospel

Salvation comes only by Grace through faith in Jesus Christ, and only in Him alone. Especially if you’ve been left behind, learn about “The Simplicity of Salvation” here: https://basictraining.org/simplicity-of-salvation/ Download or order this booklet “The Gift” here: https://basictraining.org/the-gift/ You want to hear a false gospel? “God has to regenerate you before you can believe.” That’s a false gospel. That is nowhere stated in Scripture. As a matter of fact, the opposite is stated.

Why #Resurrection ?

What does the resurrection mean to you? You know, Jesus said in John Chapter 11, “I am the Resurrection and the Life.” He didn’t say, “I will be resurrected.” He didn’t say, “My resurrection is coming.” He said, “I am the resurrection and the life.” Consider that the Resurrection may mean a whole lot more than we thought it meant. So we find this Trinitarian concept running really alive through the Scripture. We’re going to look at Ephesians 2:1-10.

The #Tribulation We’re NOT in

Nan Cunningham taught a women’s Bible class studying Second Thessalonians Chapter One on March 19th, 2024 at Living Truth Church Prescott Arizona. The full video is here: https://youtu.be/1X72TbzBPFE Obviously, this is Paul’s second letter to the Thessalonians. It was written probably within a year of the first book, and it was written to encourage them in a time of persecution. And Paul also writes to clarify errors that they were believing about the end times.

Every human heart has the same need, and that is to be reconciled to God. Every person born is born under the curse of Adam. Every person born into this world is born physically alive but spiritually dead.

Before the #cross

Jesus was the Ultimate Gift. Learn about “The Gift” here: https://youtu.be/Jgkse3saH1U We tend to think that before the Cross of Christ, nobody knew anything about the plan of salvation. Some people are so confused, they say that they were saved by trying to keep the law. People before the cross were saved exactly like people after the cross. The only difference they look forward to the coming of the Savior, we look back to His finished work on the cross. That’s the only difference.
