Separate unto Salvation

January 22, 2017

James 1:21 (KJB) Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

This verse draws a certain line. It calls for man to make a clean cut from all kinds of evil and wickedness and be set apart for things of God. It does not say separate from some things but clearly instructs mankind to step away, move apart from, or separate themselves ...

Are You Rich and Rough or Poor and Mild?

Proverbs 18:23 (KJB) The poor useth intreaties; but the rich answereth roughly.

The poor in spirit are humble in nature. They have no air about them or lift themselves up above others. They have needs but do not use a demanding and insistent tone to their prayers. They come humbly before God with a level of comfort and trust that God already knows exactly what they need and desire. They rest ...

Love Produces a Disciplined Reaction

Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. (Galatians 6:1-2 KJV)

Sin can transpire ...

Are You Radiating with Spiritual Beauty?

For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation. (Psalm 149:4 KJV)

Those who approach God with authentic humbleness obtain free salvation. God takes pleasure in those who come to Him with lowliness and meekness of heart, agreeing with God about sin and desiring to turn from it to follow after the holiness and perfection of God seeking repentance for their personal sin.

Those who are regenerated in spirit ...

Meekness is power in God’s control

The word meekness conveys the idea of humility in God’s Word. Meekness is like having a dose of spiritual fortitude of God bringing about the ability to be humble and unassuming in a world where arrogance and pride are common and often boldly and brashly displayed.

Are you wallowing in pride with god or seeking God and righteousness?

The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts. (Psalms 10:4 KJV)

Pride closes spiritual doors; slamming them closed tight. The matter of pride is in direct conflict or opposition to humility and the spiritual things of God. Those who operate in pride are at home and comfortable in the darkness of this evil world; enjoying the ...
