Triumphal Feast • Colossians Series 8 “How Do We Receive Christ?” – Part 2

Colossians Series • 8. How Do We Receive Christ? – Colossians 2:6 Part 2
How do we receive Christ? How a person answers that question greatly affects how they walk in Christ. Part 2 of this message begins in Ephesians Chapter one. There we learn that the doctrines of election, predestination, justification, and glorification, when taught properly, show that God and God alone is able to save us from our sins and ourselves. Man is the object of salvation, not the cooperative cause by his will or works.

Triumphal Feast • Colossians Series 8 “How Do We Receive Christ?” – Part 1

Colossians Series • 8. How Do We Receive Christ? – Colossians 2:6 Part 1
How do we receive Christ? How a person answers that question greatly affects how they walk in Christ. If salvation be by man’s will or works, then our continued works are the grounds for our justification before a Holy God. However, if salvation is by grace plus nothing, then we are secure in the finished work of Christ. God gets all the glory for salvation, and we can walk in humble obedience out of just pure thankfulness.

Dead in Sin

Triumphal Feast • 1st John Series 9. “Tadpoles & Frogs” pt. 2

1st John Series • 9. Tadpoles and Frogs – 1st John 3:4-10 The nature of man without God is dead in sin and serves only sin. An unregenerate person is “committed” to sinning. But when a child of God is born again, the person now has within him the nature of Christ and now has two natures. Elder Bryce concludes this message with the charge to live like Christ by breathing in love and living out that love.

Triumphal Feast • 1st John Series 9. “Tadpoles & Frogs” pt. 1

1st John Series • 9. Tadpoles and Frogs – 1st John 3:4-10The nature of man without God is dead in sin and serves only sin. An unregenerate person is “committed” to sinning. But when a child of God is born again, the person now has within him the nature of Christ and now has two natures. The old nature is still there but the new nature is no longer bound by sin and committed to it. He can now do righteousness. These righteous behaviors “manifest” the person as being a born-again child of God.
