101 | Should Christians remain silent on these | Rev 17:5 | Robert Nicholson | 64528 | ||
Dear Pastor Glenn: I find the whole genetics thing scary, mostly because that I don't understand it. Secondly, I wonder if man should try to play God? Would you not agree however, that God is in control of genetics and will allow man to only go so far? God gave humans control over the animal kingdom after the flood. In the past many people have had their lives saved by having a pigs valve put in their heart. If it were your child who needed this procedure how would you feel? I often think of people of the past who died from what we consider simple diseases. I remember as a child a neighbor going into cardiac arrest and fell to the ground with people looking on until he died. We had not yet discovered CPR. I would suggest that it is God who gives humans the brains which have made discoveries for our good. Should we not take advantage of them. A few years ago my nephew was saved with a kidney transplant. Some of the local brethren where he attended thought this was totally wrong. I think that before we become vocal we should be aware of our facts. There are some diseases which plague both saint and sinner and it would be wonderful if God would guide the scientists in finding a cure. I am not being argumentative, Actually, I have given much thought to this whole thing and have many questions. Your brother in Christ Robert |

102 | Does God Hate the Sinner? | Ps 5:5 | Robert Nicholson | 64423 | ||
Goodmorning Arise 514 In this psalm the Psalmist seems to make absolute contrasts between the righteous and the wicked. In verse 4 "For thou art not a God who hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee" In v. 5 which you have quoted "thou hatest all workers of iniquity. If I were to take this verse in isolation then I could say God hates certain people. However, when I think of other verses which show me that God deeply loves each person, each soul. I know there is no contradiction in scripture. I think in Psalm 5 we see the righteous indigination of a Holy God with those who persist in wickedness. God's hatred is never malicious. In verse 9 of Psalm 5 we read words similar to Romans 3 where we see a picture of all humans who are not saved. In Psalm 7:11 "God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day" The sin who those who remain as enemies of God is as a stench to him every day. Paul writes "Where sin abounded, grace did much more abound. Romans 5:20 In Romans 3: 9-18 we are given a picture of humans in their natural condition as God sees them. In v. 19 we read that the law was given to show us how exceedingly sinful we are and that we might realize our guilt before God. More wonderful, we find that even when we were totally unloveable and enemies of God by our sin, that "Christ died for the ungodly" Romans 5:6 Does this not show us the depths of love which God has for each individual? and remind us of John 3:16 "For God so loved the World that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life". I believe that God is holy and righeous and cannot tolerate sin to any degree. However, God is love and this is seen in what he was willing to do to provide a basis upon which a holy God can forgive guilty sinners and we know that this was to send his Son into this world to become a sacrifice once and for all for sin and as such we who were enemies of God can be brought neigh to him through the precious blood of Christ. Those are a few of my thoughts God bless Robert |

103 | Where does it say God appointed kings | 1 Sam 8:22 | Robert Nicholson | 64384 | ||
Greetings mchristo: In 1 Samuel 8 we find that the elders of Israel came to Samuel and cited his old age and the bad behaviour of his sons as a non confidence vote. Samual talked to the Lord and then to the people and basically showed them how they would lose their freedom which they had under God by placing themselves under a king. We read "Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said Nay; but we will have a king over us; that we may be like all nations; and that our king may judge us, and to out before us and fight our battles" v. 19-20 When Samuel brought these words to the Lord "the Lord said to Samuel, Hearken unto their voice, and make them a king" v. 22 I believe this is an example where God allowed his people to have their own way even if the consequences are not in their best interests. God had promised to be their God forever in Gen. 17:7 I hope this helps Robert |

104 | Are you saying that you do follow him? | John 3:16 | Robert Nicholson | 63978 | ||
brother welldigger: I know that Christ is my Savior and my Lord based on the promises of his precious word. He is the one who purchased my redemption at such a cost. It was God who drew me to him when I was lost in sin, it was God who revealled to me the significance of the sacrifice on Calvary and it was God by his spirit who indwells the believer and brings about changes which we could never change ourselves. We are born into his family forever, and as such we can say we are his, he is our heavenly father. You ask "do I follow him and do I keep his commandments?" That is a searching question? While it is my desire to follow Christ and bring honor and glory to his name I would be deceiving myself to make a claim of total obedience. John teaches us "that if we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" 1 John 1:8-9 As far as keeping the law, meaning the ten commandments James makes it clear of our inablility to keep the law "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all." The Lord Jesus Christ is the only man who kept the law, who fulfilled the law and who bore the curse of the law upon Calvary's cross. In Romans 3 we are given a picture of how far short we come of God's glory and "that by the deeds of the law shall there be no flesh justified in his sight; for by the law is the knowledge of sin" Rom.3:19 In Galations we are told that in Christ we have been made free. We have been called into liberty which does not alleviate responsibilty. "For brethren, you have been called unto liberty: only use not your liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even this,, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself" Gal. 5:13-14 The Mosaic law brought bondage, it showed us what God demands and how far short we fall of his glory, it shows us our sinfulness and our total inability within our selves keep it. On the other hand in Christ, we are indwelt by the Holy Spirit, we have been given his love within which allows us to love others and by his grace to live for Christ. Peace to you in his Name Robert |

105 | What about John 14:15? | John 3:16 | Robert Nicholson | 63901 | ||
Dear brother welldigger: John 14:15 I believe is teaching us that we cannot become a new creature of Christ without having the desire to keep his commandments. In 1 John 5:1-3 we read the true signs of someone who love God"For this is the love of God, and we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous". The Lord Jesus said "Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls." Matt.11:29 In John 10: The Lord Jesus emphasizes the security of those in him "I give unto them eternal life and they shall never perish..."v.28 , but he also tells us "my sheep hear my voice and they follow me" v. 27 If I profess to be his sheep and do not hear his voice and follow him, it is likely that I am not his at all. Our desire to be faithful and obedient to the Lord after we are saved is the outward proof of our inward change in him. As we hear his voice through his word we obey his commandments given to us throughout the scriptures out of love and devotion to him. As Hank pointed out in his post "We are sanctified (being increasingly conformed to the image of our Lord Jesus Christ) through obedience" I think were some seem to differ is that some see our works as somehow our payment to keep our salvation, whereas, I believe that Christ has secured my salvation by his work upon the cross and my works are an evidence that he lives within me. In other words I can justifify my profession of being in Christ by my obedience to him. In Christ Robert |

106 | baptism for the dead? | NT general Archive 1 | Robert Nicholson | 63840 | ||
Kaatje: We have to look at this verse within the context of the chapter. In chapter Paul is presenting the importance of the resurrection of Christ. He also points out the other side of the arguement which is the hopelessness which is found if Christ is not raised and if the dead rise not. Some writers have suggested that in Corinth, there were professing believers who did not believe in resurrection and yet they were practising the ritual of vicarious baptism or baptism for the dead. In other words one of the living would be baptised for one who had died unbaptised. Paul in v. 29 is not condoning this practice, but is pointing out their faulty thinking: First of all they deny the resurrection and then they baptise for the dead. "If the dead rise not at all, why are they then baptized for them" is another way of putting v. 29. The reason this practice is not in the church today is that such a practice is not mentioned before or after this verse. Secondly, the Bible clearly teaches that after death our eternal destiny is fixed. In Luke 16:19-31 Jesus shows us this truth. Again Jesus warned the people "If you die in your sins were I am you cannot come" The idea that a living person can somehow help a dead person by being baptised contradicts the gospel of Christ. Christ is the only one who takes the sinners place and makes him right with God. I am reminded of a psalm which reinforces this truth "None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him" Psalm 49:7 Hope this helps Robert |

107 | harvest time and seed | John 4:35 | Robert Nicholson | 63707 | ||
Nikki Watson: The Lord Jesus in his time said "the fields are white unto harvest" We see in the verses below that both he that sows and he that reaps both rejoice at the fruit of the harvest. "Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth" (John 4: 35-37) In 1 Cor. 3:6 Paul reminds us of this principle: "I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase" The time of planting and harvest is now "behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation." (2 Cor. 6:2) The Holy Spirit of God is who works up the soil of our heart to prepare us for the seed of the gospel. However, God by his grace has choosen his people to spread and water the word. More importantly it is only God who can gives the increase. Robert |

108 | what was Jesus message to us and for us? | John 4:27 | Robert Nicholson | 63609 | ||
bbetty72: A great question! However, it is very difficult (for me anyhow) to come up with a neat statement of one sentence to answer your question: Why did Jesus come into this world? "For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost" Luke 19:10 "I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." Mark 2:17 "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." What is his message to us? "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." Matt. 11:28-30 The greatest message of the gospel is given by Jesus in John 3:16 I believe the message of the gospel is that God has sent his son into the world to save sinners and that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. He wishes to forgive us through faith in his finished work. He wants our life, our heart our all. In John 17:3 he shows his hearts desire for his own "This is life eternal, that they may know thee the only true God and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. I apologize for not doing this question justice. I rejoice in the words of Paul: "This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief." 1 Tim. 1:15 What did you have in mind? Peace in his name Robert |

109 | Robert, so is it the fire 1 of damnation | Heb 10:26 | Robert Nicholson | 63484 | ||
Brother Bob: The reason I was careful about using the word Apostate is that I do not believe that a saved person can become an apostate. I would say that the word of God supports the view that apostates will suffer eternal damnation. As I expressed in the last post, it would appear that Paul is not accusing them in Hebrews 10 but is warning them those who may be wavering between accepting the truth or going back to the sacrifices of old; that they either accept the truth (Christ) or the judgment of God. I would agree with you that the "fiery indignation" of verse is not referring to the lake of fire of Rev. 20, but is referring to as you have quoted "our God is a consuming fire" Heb. 12:29 and Deut. 4:24. In Deut.9:3 God is portrayed as "a consuming fire" who completely judges them who turns against him. Would you think that we could look at God as "a conmsuming fire" from two perspectives: (a) That those who stand before him in their sin will be judged righteously and the fire of his judgment will leave them empty handed in view of eternity. (b) Those who have been redeemed and forgiven will also stand before the Judgment seat of Christ and their lives will be judged. For them the sin question was settled at Calvary, however, the fire will try their motives and works and as explained to the builders of 1 Cor. 3:12-15 everything will be manifiest "because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is" v.13 There is no question at this judgment as to the eternal security of those being judged. For the Christian we will not end up empty handed. ", who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God."(1 Cor. 4:5) Forgive me if I have go on too long Robert |

110 | Is the consuming fire in Heb. hell fire? | Heb 10:26 | Robert Nicholson | 63391 | ||
Baddog: In Hebrews 10 1-18 we have a comparision of the Old Covenant under the law in comparision to the new covenant in Christ. In the old covenant it was impossible for sins to be forgiven and yet in Christ the Lord says "Their sins and iniquites I will remember no more" V.17 From verse 19-25 we have exhortations to the believers which should mark those who have been forgiven in Christ. V.26-31 Paul is not accusing any believer of this, but describes a hypothetical situation. "If we sin wilfully" This has the sense of deliberate disobedience to the truth. In other words if a person appears to know that Christ died for our sins and yet diliberately turns agains the truth "there is no more sacrifice for sins" Death was the judgment of God to those who despised Moses law" Do we think that the judgment of God against apostacy will be less for those who dispise and "hath trodden under foot the Son of God...?" Those who have deliberately turned against the truth have nothing to look for but the judgment of God at the most fearful level v.27 and v.31. I hope this helps a little Robert |

111 | Summarize the problem addressed -philemo | Philem 1:16 | Robert Nicholson | 63387 | ||
Controling: The short letter of Paul to Philemon gives us a view of what the grace of God can do and the peace it brings among believers in Christ. Paul is not addressing a problem here but opens with a note of thanksgiving v. 4 Philemon is a brother in the Lord who also is a slave owner. Oneimus his slave ran away to Rome and in prison met Paul who led him to Christ. It appears that he was a helper to Paul, but was now being sent back to Philemon. Paul is explaining that a new relationship has developed and that the one who was a slave is "a brother beloved" in the Lord. Paul interceeds on the behalf of Onesimus and promises to repay to Philemon anything owed. Paul shows his confidence that he "will do more" than asked when brother Onesimus arrives home. In application do you not think that Paul is imaging what Christ has done for us. We were far from God and under the sentence of death. But the Lord Jesus reached down to us in our need and saved us by his grace. In doing so he has purchased a new loving relationship with God who will do more than we can ever imagine when we arrive home. God bless his word Robert |

112 | I am looking for evidence of dark skies | Amos 8:9 | Robert Nicholson | 63190 | ||
Michelle: In Amos 8:9 we read "And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day" Although I believe this is referring to the LOrd's judgment on idoltarous Israel, it also reminds that that darkness was when God judged his son on account of our sin. I do not believe that any natural reason can be found. This darkness is a miracle when God clothed the suffering Saviour in darkness. As the soldier at the cross marvelled "Truly this is the Son of God"; well might our hearts echo the same now and through eternity. In addition to the accounts given by inspiration in scripture early historians have referred to it. Celsus a famous opponent of Christiany writes about it. Father Tertullian, at the close of the second century said boldy to his adversaries. "At the moment of Christ's death, the light departed from the sun, and the land was darkened at noonday, which wonder is related in your own annals and is perserved in your archives to this day" I love these words: Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut his glories in When the incarnate maker died For man his creatures sin. What a Saviour! Robert |

113 | We are also of the order of Melchizedik? | 1 Pet 2:9 | Robert Nicholson | 63175 | ||
Debbie: It is truly amazing what we have been brought into through Christ. As you have pointed out Melchizedek is a beautiful picture of Christ, both a King and priest of the most high God. Psalm 110:4 speaking of Christ "Thou art a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek". "For such a high priest became us, (who is) holy harmless, undefiled and separate from sinners (sin apart) and made higher than the heavens." (Heb. 7:26) I enjoy that he is described in the present tense. We are "accepted in the beloved" Eph. 1:6 and are as near as he. These thoughts cause one to bow in awe and adoration before our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. Praise his name Robert |

114 | What is the Priesthood of Believers? | 1 Pet 2:9 | Robert Nicholson | 63148 | ||
Greetings Lionstrong: In 1 Peter 2:5 "ye also are lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices to God by Jesus Christ" Each believer is a living stone built into the spiritual house which is founded upon the chief corner stone our Lord Jesus Christ V6. As individuals we have been brought into a unique relationship to God through Christ. This spiritual relationship is in contrast to the relationship which Israel had through the Aaronic priesthood. In Christ believers have a great high priest who has entered into the holiest of all with his own precious blood on our behalf. We than as believer priests have access to God himself through the mediator of the New Covenant Christ. Heb. 10: 19-20 In Hebrews 13:15-16 "By him let us offer the sacrifice of Praise to God continually, that is the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased" Our responsibility is to sacifice our entire being to him, our body Rom. 12:1, our praise Heb. 13:15, our substance Rom 12:13 and our service Heb.13:6. I have heard it said that a "holy priesthood" deals with our worship and a "royal priesthood" our service. Maybe others will provide other thoughts. Robert |

115 | Do we sleep , awaiting Jesus' return? | Phil 1:23 | Robert Nicholson | 62949 | ||
Dear brother justme: I do not think the scripture supports "soul sleep" I would agree however, that our bodies sleep until the resurrection. Paul writes to the Phillipian believers "For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:" Phil 1:23 "To be" is a sense of being with Christ. In 2 Cor. 5 Paul writes in V8 "...absent from the body and to be present with the Lord" I believe there is a sense in this verse which would suggest a concious presence with the Lord. In Rev. 6:9 under the fifth seal we are shown the "souls of them which were slain for the word of God... In verse 10 these souls are crying" How long O Lord holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth. The point I am making here is that these souls are communicating with God. As you have rightly pointed out the death of a Christian is generally referred to as sleep in contrast to the unbelievers who are referred to as the dead. In Christ we who were dead in tresspasses and in sin are made alive. I have difficulty understanding why we would be put to sleep to await the resurrection of our bodies. Peace In his Name Robert |

116 | When a person dies today ! | Bible general Archive 1 | Robert Nicholson | 62879 | ||
Neal: "present with the Lord" I believe is conscious joy for the soul and spirit of those who have died in Christ. Where is the Lord during this time of grace before he comes? We know that by his spirit he dwells within those who are his and that by his spirit he strives with those who know him not. The risen Christ is also seated at the right hand of his father. "If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God." Col 3:1 Where is the abode of God? We know he is omnipresent and is not limited by time and space. However, Paul speaks about his near death experience and talks about being caught up into the 3rd heaven , into paradise. 1 Cor. 12:1-4 It would appear that Paul experienced what is in store for each believer as they go to be with Christ. It is interesting that Enoch and Elijah did not see death on this earth,but were translated (changed) and were taken up into heaven and are in the presence of the Lord. Paul could say "For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better" Phil. 1:23 We may not know much about the details of heaven, but we know that "to be with Christ" is far better. Not only to be with him, but to come with him and be united with resurrection bodies from which we will with unhindered praise praise and adore him forever. God Bless Robert |

117 | A Man In Need. | John 3:1 | Robert Nicholson | 62803 | ||
Nicodemus by world standards was a good man, a teacher of the teachers and a searcher for the truth. I understand that as a Pharisee Phd. (so to speak) he would have memorized the first five books of the old testament along with many of the Psalms and Prophets. He believed in God and knew that God had promised a redeemer to his people. Nevertheless, Jesus points out his need "ye must be born again" As you have pointed out even Nicomdemus needed to be born again. To be born from above, it is a work of God which is received by faith. I love verse 16 which God has used to bring many people to Christ. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have everlasting life." Robert |

118 | help me understand | John 6:66 | Robert Nicholson | 57964 | ||
Dear Dasev: There are some basic trues which we must consider: First of all the Lord Jesus Christ made one sacrifice for sin forever, and has sat down on the right hand of the majesty on high.(Hebrews 10:12 On Calvary's dark cross he cried "Finished!"(John 19:30) and bowed his head and died. What was finished. He finished the work his father gave him to do. He offered himself without spot unto God a sacrifice for sin. (Hebrews 9:14) His sacrifice superceded all other sacrifices which were merely a type or picture of the Lamb of God who was to come. (Hebrews 10:1-12) The whole of idea of transubstantiation is from the dark ages. What did Jesus mean in John 6:53? He is making it clear that we must be partakers of him in order to have eternal life. How do we become partakers of him? In John chapter 6 the people wanted to know how they could be partakers. This idea is supported by Paul in 1 (Cor. 10:17) In v. 29 of John 6, the Lord Jesus said "believe on him whom God hath sent" Some would say what about the sacrament? Or other terms to describe the rememberance of the Lord Jesus. We know that on the night that he was being betrayed, when the supper was ended that he took bread, brake it and blessed and gave it unto his disciples and said "this is my body which is given for you. And that likewise he took the cup and blessed it and said "this is the cup of the new covenant, drink ye all of it. It is clear in this passage that he was introducing the emblems which would be used to remember his body which was given and his percious blood which would be shed on Calvary's cross. Has God given us an further revalation on this subject? Yes! Paul in 1 Corinthians 11:23 writes of this revalation given to him of the Lord "For I have received of the Lord that which I also deliver unto you" Paul is telling them that without prior information that Christ revealled this truth to him. What was this truth? He reminds them of the night which Jesus was betrayed " When he ( Jesus) had given thanks and said "this is my body, which is given for you, this do in rememberance of me" As they each took part of the bread they remembered that precious body that was given for them at Calvary. After the same manner he took the cup, when he had supped saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, this do yea as oft as you drink it in rememberance of me" V25 Paul then unfolds the meaning of this feast. "For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup you do proclaim the Lord's death until he come" V.26 What does this mean? It means that as believers join together and partake of the emblems of bread and the cup, they are acknowledging the death of Christ on the cross and the value of his sin cleansing precious blood. In addition, they are proclaiming to all that they will continue to remember him until he come. In other words they are witnessing to all around that Jesus is coming for those who have trusted in him and rested upon his finished work on the cross. To suggest that each week we eat of the emblems to somehow be born again is ludricous, we can only be born from above once and that is when we put our total trust in the finished work of Christ. In fact it reminds us of the offerings of old which had to be offered contiually for the people. To suggest we need something more is an insult to the Son of God. You have mentioned the function of the Priest. Again and according to God's word we have a great hight priest who provides us access to the presence of God by his own precious blood. "Hebrews 10:19-21) The person who is a partaker by faith in Christ is encouraged to approach God with boldness, because we approaching not on our own merit, but on the merits of the precious blood of Christ. God's word makes it plain "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5) God does not assign any substitutes to stand in for his dear son. The scriptures are very clear that those who have eternal life are those who have rested their all upon the finished work of Christ on the cross. All other ways are sinking sand. Robert |

119 | Salvation verse, or admonition to Jews? | Rom 10:9 | Robert Nicholson | 57916 | ||
Tani544: In Romans 9 we gave Paul's desire for Israel "that they might be saved" V1 and in verse 2-3 he shows that they are going about it in the wrong way. Is this chapter only to the Jew? I think not. In V.12 Paul writes "there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. I believe that verse 9 is speaking of salavtion by faith in the finished work of Christ. Consider: "If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus" or Jesus as Lord. This is referring to a person who is willing to have Christ as the Lord of their life. "and shalt believe in thine heart that God raised him from the dead" The person who believes that the Lord Jesus Christ was rasied from the dead bodily, simply believes God in all other parts of the death, buriel and resurrection of Christ. Paul in 1 Cor. 15 emphasises the importance of the resurrection of Christ which is the foundation for our hope. "Thou shalt be saved" There is no sense of doubt in this statement. In verse 10 we read "with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth coffession is made unto salvation." The moment the Holy Spirit reveals to us that Christ is the saviour, by faith we rest upon him and are born from above by the Holy Spirit. Thou Shalt be saved. The word salvation encompasses much more that simply being saved from the penalty of sin. When we trust Christ we are saved from the penalty of our sin. By his indwelling Spirit we are saved from the power of sin in our daily life. By the Word of his power we shall be saved from the very presence of sin when he comes again for us. Thank God for his promises which take us in. Robert |

120 | But what did, or where did he raise us u | Eph 2:6 | Robert Nicholson | 57506 | ||
I am not sure of your question. Before we were in Christ we were dead spiritually to God. When we were born again and put in Christ he raised us up into the heavenly places with Christ. God see us as complete in him. Robert |
