Romans 6:8-18 Now if we be dead with Christ,we believe that we shall also live with him:(9) Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more;death hath no more dominion over him. (10) For in that he died,he died unto sin once:but in that he liveth,he liveth [...] Romans 6:5-14 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death,we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:(6) Knowing this,that our old man is crucified with him,that the body of sin might be destroyed,that henceforth we should not serve sin. (7) For he that [...] Romans 6:1-10 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin,that grace may abound? (2) God forbid. How shall we,that are dead to sin,live any longer therein? (3) Know ye not,that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? (4) Therefore we are [...] This series began 7/17/11 Romans 5:17-21 For if by one man’s offense death reigned by one;much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one,Jesus Christ.)

(9) Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to [...] Matthew 24:3-14 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives,the disciples came unto him privately,saying,Tell us,when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming,and of the end of the world? (4) And Jesus answered and said unto them,Take heed that no man deceive [...] 2 Corinthians 9:1-15 For as touching the ministering to the saints,it is superfluous for me to write to you:(2) For I know the forwardness of your mind,for which I boast of you to them of Macedonia,that Achaia was ready a year ago;and your zeal hath provoked very many. (3) Yet [...] The life of liberty is how a Christian is suppose to live. The problem is that people are very good at stating what someone cannot do or what they themselves do not do. Legalism introduces not only the Ten Commandments but also the unwritten laws that Christians come up with. Some of those unwritten laws [...] Jeremiah 6:10-21 To whom shall I speak,and give warning,that they may hear? behold,their ear is uncircumcised,and they cannot hearken:behold,the word of the LORD is unto them a reproach;they have no delight in it.
