In the sight of God


“For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.” John 3:20-21 KJV

Matthew Henry’s commentary on the Gospel of John chapter three says that God’s wrath has a strangle hold on man. Man is fastened by it and condemned for destruction. Jesus in the remedy given by God for man to save himself and rejecting this remedy is sin by itself.

The work of the Holy Spirit in regeneration and conviction is expressed in the John chapter 3. A believer stands on a different ground compared to an unbeliever. A believer stands on righteous ground on which this forgiveness of God is built upon. On this righteous ground the believer finds rest and in united to God by unfeigned love of Christ Jesus. Without Jesus man profits nothing. Unless we eat the bread of life and drink his blood, we have no resurrection on the last day. (John 6:53-55)

A regenerated believer living on the Bread of Life daily stands before the Light of the world and sees the world through this light that shines and illuminates the world around him. Holy Spirit that proceeds from Jesus shows the will of the Father to the believer and all his work which is manifested in God. “But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.” John 15: 26-27.

A believer who stands on the righteous ground built upon Christ and regenerated by the Holy Ghost that proceeds from Christ works the will of God. Whatever he sees through the light and does, it is the will God and a testimony for the world of darkness. What they have done or do is done in the sight of God.

In Christ love.

Every Word of God is Pure

Reformation is the action or process of reforming an institution or practice, according to Oxford Dictionary. Oxford’s second definition of reformation states as, a 16th-century movement for the reform of abuses in the Roman Church ending in the establishment of the Reformed and Protestant Churches.   What does the word “form” mean? As a noun, it means in a particular way a thing exists. As a verb, it means bring together parts or combine to create something. Therefore, to re-form is to go back to how a particular way a thing exists and not corrupt the manner it was brought to together and combined to create that one thing. Reformation is to go back and take away corruption of the word of God. Martin Luther insisted that “the truth of scriptures comes first. After that is accepted one may determine whether the words of men can be accepted as true.” [1] Martin Luther is not insisting something that is of his own understanding or from his own intellect. His words were b...

The Time is fulfilled

We have one Glorious Gospel but four accounts. Mattahian, Makan, Lukan and Johannine accounts of the Gospel. (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) Matthew proclaimed the birth of the King of Jews in his account. (Matthew 2:2). Luke dedicated an entire chapter on the glorious birth celebrated by the whole creation, the angel proclaimed good tiding to all people. The Shepherds glorified and praised God. Simeon at the temple blessed the couple and the babe. The 84-year-old widow rejoiced at redemption. (Luke 2). John proclaimed the glory of Christ, the Son of God and the Son of Man who took on flesh and dwelt with us. Who’s glory John beheld. (John 1-18) Mark on the other hand introduces Christ, the saviour of humanity as the time. If you have a paper bible or a digital bible with words of Jesus in red, you will be in awe that Mark 1:15 are the very first words of Jesus spoken according to the Markan Gospel. Jesus draws to himself as the time. Eternal God who created time refers to himself...

1 Thessalonians 2

  For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming? – 1 Thessalonians 2:19 Paul asked these questions to the Thessalonians in 51AD. The questions remain the same at present. Many bible critiques are quick to disparage the Word of God as mere words of man. Are they right to say that? Yes, they have the right to say that but that does not mean it is the truth. Saying a relatively right thing and speaking the truth are two different things. The answer to the question if the Word of God is the truth from God lies in death. (We shall not discuss Christ Second coming, here.) If you say you are entitled to Heaven as a Christian and yet claim that the Word of God is not entirely the truth then when you face Jesus at the throne of Judgement you will be judged to have committed a Cosmic Treason against God. [1] J C Sproul calls it the “Sinfulness of Sin” in his book, “ The Truth of the Cross .” Any sin committed ag...
