Holiness Is the Fruit of Abiding in Christ
God expects holiness, and without holiness no man shall see God (Hebrews 12:14, 1 Peter 1:15). However, we don’t “achieve” holiness by our own efforts. Christ is our righteousness, holiness, and redemption. Our righteousness is imputed by him, and our sanctification happens as we abide…

Christ Is All: Our Wisdom, Righteousness, Sanctification, and Redemption.
Christ Is All: Our Wisdom, Righteousness, Sanctification, and Redemption. He alone is the BOAST of the true believer. Christ is our WISDOM, RIGHTEOUSNESS, SANCTIFICATION, and REDEMPTION. (1 Corinthians 1:30-31) There is no extra righteousness we can have or attain apart from his. We are the…

Salvation Is Free; Heaven Is Conditional on Obedience
Salvation is free and open to all, but entering heaven is conditional on obedience. Any sinner who repents and turns to Jesus will be accepted by Grace through faith; salvation is free to all. But entering heaven is for those who continue in the faith…

True Salvation Produces Fruits of Righteousness
True salvation produces fruits of righteousness. Grace is not a license to sin. Grace teaches us to say NO to ungodliness (Titus 2:12). The Holy Spirit is HOLY. When he truly comes inside of you, he will make you holy, and sin will become foreign…

3 Ways Jesus Sanctifies Christians

Come Out From Among Them and Be Ye Separate
