Jesus’ Sacrifice

Posted on December 15, 2021 by Basic Gospel

Consequently, when Christ[a] came into the world, he said,
“Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired,
but a body have you prepared for me; in burnt offerings and sin offering you have taken no pleasure. Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come to do your will, O God,
as it is written of me in the scroll of the book.'” Hebrews 10:5-7 * What is the definition of a vow?
* Where and when will eternal life in Jesus be given to those who believe in Him?
* I am to give my daughter’s hand in marriage and would like clarification on the “sign of authority” in 1 Corinthians 11:10 – everything stems from v3.

Child of God

Posted on December 14, 2021 by Basic Gospel

Yesterday we talked about the importance of our identity. In Christ we’ve been made new and give a brand new identity. Jesus came into this world to save sinners and all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Now we’ve been born again into the family of God. We are children of God. Romans 8:15-16 For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God…”

From Sinner to Saint

Posted on December 13, 2021 by Basic Gospel

What you see with every human being is the quest to find the answer to the question, ‘who am I?” The Bible answers that question for us and we find the complete answer in Jesus Christ. Apart from Jesus we are sinners by nature. When we come to Christ we become saints. A brand new identity.
* Isaiah 59:2 was given to me as proof that God doesn’t hear the prayers of unbelievers. Is this true?
* When Jesus said “if you deny me before men, I’ll deny you before the father”, does that apply to me? * How do I learn to recognize and receive answers from God? * Susie asks for a fuller explanation of the promises of the New Covenant.

Repentance

Posted on December 10, 2021 by Basic Gospel

We had a question about repentance yesterday and it’s such an important subject to understand. Repentance deals with going from unbelief to belief. It’s a change of mind … a change of heart. It’s the grace of God that moves us to a new understanding. “do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?” Romans 2:4
* I know repentance mean to change your mind. Is it wrong to teach that repentance mean to stop sinning?
* If God is all-knowing then he knew before Lucifer’s creation that he would stray. That being said, how was Lucifer not created to be damned?
* John commented on one of our videos… “I feel like I’ve sinned to the point of a reprobate and now I’m his enemy. It’s very scary.”
* How are we supposed to live out “be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect” when God knows we’re not perfect? Matthew 5:43-48

A New Commandment

Posted on December 9, 2021 by Basic Gospel

Toward the end of his life Jesus gathered his disciples to prepare them for what was ahead. In John 13 Jesus chooses to wash the feet of the disciples. It was to show the full extent of his love. The next day he showed the ultimate act of love through his death on the cross. In the washing of the disciple’s feet, he shared a new commandment. “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” John 13:34-35 * Jeff calls for and explanation of “Blessed are the poor in spirit”.

Complete in Christ

Posted on December 7, 2021 by Basic Gospel

When we’re trying to find truth, when we’re trying to find answers… what’s drives us is the feeling of incompleteness. “And you are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:” Colossians 2:10

Counted as Righteousness

Posted on December 6, 2021 by Basic Gospel

Romans 4:1-5 says “What then shall we say was gained by Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh? For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.” Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due. And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness”. The law shows us that we are not measuring up, and that’s all. The law cannot save you. If you are trying to work your way into righteousness, you will never achieve it. Instead, trust that God can justify you, give you hope, and make you righteous. * $90,000 matching grant.

The Most Relevant Thing

Posted on December 3, 2021 by Basic Gospel

Your life intersects with the life of Jesus Christ. The event that took place 2000 years ago is actually the most relevant event in your life today. Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the grace that was to be yours searched and inquired carefully, inquiring what person or time the Spirit of Christ in them was indicating when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the subsequent glories (1 Peter 1:10-11). This grace of God was prophesied by the prophets of old for you. We experience the same glories by grace through faith in Christ. * A YouTube viewer asks about predestination.
* Karen asks about the Antichrist and Satan – are they the same?
* Paul speaks a lot about himself “having a clear conscience”. Can you please tell me where the conscience is?

Find Your Anchor

Posted on December 2, 2021 by Basic Gospel

Bob shares an email from Ben. “I never would have imagined such change would take place in my life … from deep despair to ever-increasing hope and stability”. We all need hope in this world. But you’re not gonna find a lot of hope in this world apart from Jesus. “It is always good to be made much of for a good purpose, and not only when I am present with you, my little children, for whom I am again in the anguish of childbirth until Christ is formed in you! ” Galatians 4:18-19
