SALVATION BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH

Salvation is by grace (God’s attitude whereby He gives a benefit without consideration of merit) through faith (taking God at His Word) by believing that Christ died for your sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day according to the Scriptures.(1 Corinthians 15:3,4).

LIVING OUT FROM FAITH

For I delivered unto you at first that which also I received, that Christ died on behalf of our sins according to the Scriptures and […]

The Armor from God

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.

The armor from God 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, Disappointment, Discouragement, Bitterness, Doubt, Spiritual Cowardice, Lying, Pride, An unforgiving spirit, Stealing, Corrupt communication, Busybody, and Gossip […]

The Origin and Nature of Humans

The Origin of Humans

Adam was both formed from the dust of the earth and created out of nothing by God¹. Adam’s body was created out of the dust of the earth and his soul and spirit were created out of nothing². Adam was created; all other humans were procreated from Adam and Eve³. When Adam was created, he was created in the likeness and the image of God⁴. Adam was created complete and in the likeness of God immediately without process.

The Body, the Soul, and the Spirit

Humans are tri-partite⁵. They have a body, which is the physical flesh. They have a soul, which is the center of his emotions⁶. They also have  a spirit, which is the part of them that is able to rationalize⁷. The place where these three parts come together is referred to as the heart, which is where the determinate will of a human is formed⁸.

The Present Condition of Unsaved Humans

All humans possess a sin nature and are totally depraved⁹. All unsaved are spiritually separated from God, because of Adam’s trespass and sin. They all physically die because of Adam’s sin¹⁰. They are not able to receive the things from the Spirit of God because their minds have been darkened¹¹. The Gospel for salvation is foolishness to them and their minds have been darkened to this Gospel¹².

The Present Condition of Saved Humans

Saved humans still possess a fallen nature. However, they also possess a new nature, which is a quality of the Divine Nature

The Nature of God

God is the Сreator and Sustainer of all things, seen and unseen¹. He is eternal and unchangeable in His nature³.

The Essence of God

His essence is Spirit. This essence is self-existing, one, and immense ²

Attributes (Seven attributes of God)

His attributes are omnipotent, omniscient, holy (set apart), righteous, goodness, love, and truth⁴ .

Three Persons, One God

God exists in a trinity of three distinct inseparable Persons; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit⁵ . All three Persons share the same essence and attributes. In the Godhead, all three Persons are equal⁶.

God the Father

This Person of the Godhead is revealed to us as the one that is the ultimate source of all things; all things are out from the Father.¹

God the Father’s Fatherhood Relationship

God the Father’s fatherhood relationship to God the Son shows that they are equal in nature while the Son can be voluntarily submissive to the Father in carrying out the decree². This Person of the Godhead displays the fatherhood type of relationship that He has to spirit beings as well as saved and unsaved mankind ³. The Fatherhood relationship shows that God is the source of all things.

His Past and Present Work

He sent the Son to be a propitiation (satisfaction) for the sins of the world

Our Purpose: About Word of Grace Studies

We 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.
