romans-6:4

TWO quite recent and unsolicited testimonies have come our way which particularly illustrate the hunger in the hearts of many Christian people for a fuller life than they experience at conversion. They are worth quoting: one from a householder, wife, mother, and active Christian worker; the other fr... Read More

"THY faith." Faith is so Christ's, as the fountain and the cause, that it is ours, as agents moved and acted by Christ. Hence it is a foul error to say, That there is no inherent righteousness in the saints, and no graces in the souls of believers, but in Christ only.' There is water, even "the Spir... Read More

NAY, give me leave to say, that Antinomians make justification and free grace, their common-place of divinity, as if they only had seen the visions of the Almighty, and no other. But they are utterly ignorant thereof; for they confound and mix what the Word distinguisheth, because justification is o... Read More

by Harry Foster Reprinted from "A Witness And A Testimony" magazine, July-August 1971.

The Revelation of Christ READING: Gal. 1:15-16; Eph. 2:15-16; 4:15-16,24; Col. 3:10. The phrase which I feel is to engage us at this time is that in Eph. 2:15 - "one new man". But before we speak about that specifically, there is a word which must lead to it. The question that is exercising many hea... Read More

These two things are the supreme and all-inclusive concern of the New Testament. Ponder that statement carefully. The whole New Testament (Bible, if you like) is concerned with how things ought to be. This is applied to the individual Christian, the local church and the Church universal. There is a ...

THE INNER MAN OF THE HEART Or, The Believer's Sphere of Life and Base of Operations There is no subject more vital in relation to fulness of life and effectiveness of service in Christ than this that we are now to consider. It embraces all the practical meanings and outworkings of the redemptive pur... Read More

Reading: 1 Cor. 15:45,47; 2 Cor. 5:17; John 3:3,5-7. I want to bring a word very simply to you, a word which many may think to be quite elementary, but it will be intentionally so. Perhaps there is no fragment of Scripture which at the same time is more elementary and yet more comprehensive and prof... Read More

The apostle first calls attention to his readers having been "raised together with Christ" (ASV). The English word "if" is employed here in its sense of "since"--"in view o... Read More
