It Is No Longer I That Do It

Paul had come to acknowledge that, even though his old nature still remained within him, his spirit had indeed been regenerated.

Bring Forth Fruit unto God

The true Christian brings forth spiritual fruit by the power of God the Holy Spirit.

Dead to Sin and Alive to God

The historical event of the Saviour’s crucifixion, burial and resurrection—is the cause of spiritual events in the lives of those who are saved.

Called to Be Saints

Christians increasingly separate from their old sinful lifestyle and increasingly evidence that they are true Christians.

Children of the Free

Christians, being “Children of the free” (Galatians 4:31), are free to serve God. This service involves keeping God’s moral law, not sinning.

The Law of Christ

The “law of Christ” is not a substitute or alternative moral standard that Christians should keep instead of God’s moral law.

Not Under Law but Under Grace

We are sure that the definition of sin did not change for the Christian at conversion.

The Law was Our Schoolmaster

Being schooled by the “schoolmaster” brings people to Christ. That is why the church must preach both Law and gospel.

By the Law Is the Knowledge of Sin

The apostle Paul gives testimony of his own experience of the work of the Holy Spirit in the soul—in applying God’s moral law.

The precious blood of Christ does not fail to redeem, atone for, purge away the sins of—or, in a word, save—any of those for whom it was poured out.

Many Are Called, but Few Are Chosen

If you truly believe in Christ, the Saviour of “whosoever believeth in him,” then you are one of the “as many as” who were ordained to eternal life.

For God so Loved the World

Are we ourselves in the “world” that Christ was sent to save? We know that we are—if we believe in him.

Redemption Through Christ’s Blood

What Christ accomplished in his redemption is what is bestowed upon those whom he redeemed.

We Have Now Received the Atonement

What Christ accomplished in his death on the cross is real for all those for whom Christ died.

He Shall Save His People from Their Sins

Is your faith resting upon the Lord Jesus Christ alone—or is your faith resting upon itself?

I Have Chosen You

True Christians have a God-given humbleness that prevents them from accepting the idea that their decision to turn to Christ was really their own.

To Him That Worketh Not, but Believeth

True saving faith in Christ is a simple trusting in (or, as is sometimes helpfully described, resting upon) Christ alone for salvation.
