The Basics of the Christian Life – Salvation

Salvation

Salvation comes by faith through grace. Today a person is saved by believing that Christ died for their sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day according to the Scriptures, 1 Corinthians 15:3, 41. God is offering salvation by grace, not works2. Grace is God’s attitude whereby He gives a benefit without the consideration of merit. In other words, you cannot earn salvation because God is not offering salvation based upon works, who you are, or even who you will become – no merit is considered3. What God requires for salvation is that you take Him at His Word. Faith is the undergirding4 of that which is hoped for, the evidence of accomplished deeds5 not seen and is always based upon a promise6. Direct faith at Christ through the facts of the good news by which we are saved (believing that He died for your […]

Definition of Sin

The Definition of Sin Revealed

The definition of sin has become so elusive today that there are so-called “sins” in many churches that cannot be found in Scripture. How do you know what a sin is? True, we see very well-defined sins in Scripture, such as adultery, fornication, stealing, lying, murder, etc., but what about the things that are not revealed in Scripture? Is it a sin not to give ten percent of your wages to the Church? Is it a sin for a husband to ignore his wife? What about which movies you watch, what you wear, what friends you hang out with, going to a party…, how do we know if they are sins.

“Missing the mark” as a definition of sin is very prevalent in today’s teachings. However, there is a problem with this definition. First of all, what mark are we missing? When we start asking this question, we will find that the answer is a moving target. Secondly, this definition is so generic that it allows for really anything to be put in as the mark missed. The mark could be not living up to God’s glory; having a ruined character; not abiding by God’s law; and they go on and on. Lastly, the source of this definition is an issue. In the book of Judges, the word normally translated as “sin” from the Hebrew is used to describe men who are so good with a sling that they do not miss their targets. The meaning “missing the mark” comes from a misunderstanding of how this word is used in this passage and also requires ignoring other passages of Scripture that specifically define sin. These men are […]

Defense Against Satan: The Armor from God

The Armor from God: Defense Against Satan

The remaining, my brethren, be caused to be empowered in Christ and in the might of His strength. Clothe yourself with the full armor from God facing your ability to stand facing the methodologies of the slanderer. For our wrestling is not facing blood and flesh, but facing rulers, facing authorities, facing world powers of darkness of this age, facing the spiritually malignant evil in the heavens. Because of this, all of you take up the whole armor from God, in order that all of you should be enabled to stand in the malignantly evil day and having for yourself worked out all to stand. Therefore, all of you stand having girded your loins in truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having bound up the feet with the preparation of the Gospel of peace. Over all taking up the shield of the faith, by which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the malignantly evil one. And to receive the helmet of salvation, and the sword belonging to the Spirit, which is the individual utterances from God, through all communication of worship and supplication, communicating by worship at all times in the spirit and into this same watching with all persistence and supplication concerning all the saints… Ephesians 6:10-18.

Defense Against SatanThe armor from God, our defense against Satan, is a mental process that we go through when under attack from Satan to protect our minds from his methods, by which he seeks to keep our minds from thinking on the things above and influence our actions. Independence from God, […]

About Us

Our Purpose: About Word of Grace Studies

Word of Grace Studies exist to change the lives of believers through equipping them to live out who they are in Christ by edifying the body of the Christ (the Church) while coming to a oneness of faith through a full experiential knowledge of the Son of God unto a mature person according to the stature of the fullness of Christ so that we are no longer tossed around by every wind of teaching by the trickery of men who cunningly seek to deceive the saints.

Salvation is not only about believing that Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day according to the Scriptures. Believing is only the beginning. In salvation God provides us with possessions and a position that affect our every day life. We focus on teaching what it means to be a Christian and living a life that glorifies God while enjoying the freedom that He has so graciously provided for us.

About Word of Grace Studies Doctrine

The Scriptures

We believe the Scriptures teach that the Old and New Testaments are the divine revelation of God (1 Timothy 5:18), and thus they constitute the Word of God. Men chosen by God wrote the Bible under the guidance and enabling of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:9–13). Thus, every word of the entire original documents was inspired. This is commonly called verbal plenary inspiration (2 Timothy 3:16). Therefore, the whole of Scripture is authoritative for the faith of every believer. Those sections of the New Testament dealing directly with the church are authoritative for the practice of the […]
