christian jesus acceptance
To win men to acceptance of Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord is the only reason Christians are left in this world.
jesus believe self
We are not saved by denying self, or taking up our cross, or doing anything else, we are saved by simply believing in Jesus.
jesus believe christ
Those who truly believe on Jesus Christ are saved from all fear.
jesus giving-up mind
We must always bear in mind that the primary purpose of our work, is not to get persons to join the church or to give up their bad habits or to do anything else than this, to accept Jesus Christ, as their Saviour.
christian jesus men
One of the commonest causes of failure in Christian life is found in the attempt to follow some good man whom we greatly admire. No man and no woman, no matter how good, can be safely followed. If we follow any man or woman, we are bound to go astray. There has been but one absolutely perfect Man on this earth-the Man Christ Jesus. If we try to follow any other man we are surer to imitate his faults than his excellencies. Look to Jesus and Jesus only as your Guide.
jesus book hands
The best book in the world to put into the hands of one who desires to know about Jesus and to be saved is the gospel of John.
jesus blessing grieving
The failure to return thanks for definite blessings received is a manifestation of ingratitude that grieves Jesus Christ.
son sacrifice noble
"Gospel preachers nowadays preach the gospel of the Crucifixion, the Apostles preached the gospel of the Resurrection as well. The Crucifixion loses its meaning without the Resurrection. Without the Resurrection the death of Christ was only the heroic death of a noble martyr; with the Resurrection it is the atoning death the Son of God. It shows that death to be of sufficient value to cover our sins, for it was the sacrifice of the Son of God."
worship contemplation
Worship is adoring contemplation of God.
prayer christ ifs
If we then let the words of Christ abide in us, they will stir us up in prayer.
errors religion firsts
Before one can correctly understand the work of the Holy Spirit, he must first of all know the Spirit himself. A frequent source of error and fanaticism about the work of the Holy Spirit is the attempt to study and understand His work without, first of all, coming to know Him as a person.
mistake reading missing
Many who read their Bibles make the great mistake of confining all their reading to certain portions of the Bible which they enjoy. In this way they get no knowledge of the Bible as a whole. They miss altogether many of the most important phases of Bible truth.
men pay-the-price church
Any church may have a mighty man of God for its pastor, if it is willing to pay the price, and that price is not a big salary, but great praying.
christian strong prayer
God has not changed; and His ear is just as quick to hear the voice of real prayer, and His hand is just as long and strong to save; as it ever was.
