Predefined, decreed and prepared plan

-
Romans 8:28-30 - The purposes of human beings are often frustrated and thwarted by others. They work out every detail in order to ensure the working out of their plan, only to find out that it was all for nothing. What about God’s plan? What about God’s purpose in salvation and history? Does the triune God shift His plans according to circumstances provoked by sinful people and demonic opposition? In this sermon on Romans 8:28–30 titled “God’s Plan is Certain,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones expounds on Paul’s teaching on the absolute, definite plan of God. His plan of salvation did not originate after the fall of humanity, nor is salvation in Christ a response to Israel’s rejection of salvation through the law, but the Father’s plan to send the Son and obtain salvation for His people was ordained before the foundation of the world.

Kimutatni az Atyát

"A megtestesülés célja" c. sorozatból Rev. G. Campbell Morgan, D. D., Pastor of Westminster Chapel, London, England. Az Újszövetség céljainak négyszeres kijelentése van: Célja van ugyanis · Az Atya kinyilatkoztatásának · A bűn megszüntetésének ; · Az ördög munkái elpusztításának ; · Valamint az a végső cél, hogy Krisztus újabb eljövetele által létre jöjjön Isten Királysága a világban. Krisztus összeütközésbe került mindazzal, ami (a földön) ellentétes volt Isten szándékaival az egyéni, társadalmi, nemzeti és fajokat érintő életben. Bizonyos értelemben, amikor ezt kimondtuk, az Ő eljövetelének teljes értelmét deklaráltuk. Az Atyáról szóló kinyilatkoztatása e célok felé irányult. Ennek a folyamatnak a része volt a bűn félre tevése, második eljövetele pedig az ördög összes munkájának teljes és végleges megdöntésére szolgál. Kimutatni az Atyát Senki sohasem látta Istent, az egyszülött Isten, aki az Atya kebelén van, ő jelentette őt ki. Jn. 1:1...

The " Influential " series - Part One From the first days of his earthly ministry, Jesus proclaimed the coming of the Kingdom of Heaven. More precisely, he announced that his Kingdom had arrived. It has many manifestations in the invisible and visible world. The dynamic of the Kingdom basically: the life, ability and power of the King: The God Almighty . The better we understand His character and abilities, the better we represent his Kingdom in the visible world. The apostolic teaching says: By faith we understand that the universe* was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible. Heb 11:3 {ESV} *Lit. “we understand that the ages of the world (aions) were created by the word of God, so that out of the invisible came the visible.” Here is an important connection between aion and the Word of God The Holman translation is more specific: By faith we understand that the universe...

Fake!

Pre We have left 2020 behind us. Everyone has probably seen and heard fake and untrue news on TV, on the internet or from people they know in the immediate vicinity. The time has come when not only images but also video material can be created almost completely altering the original information or character. Different words than the original are put into people's mouths in the media, different gestures are made, small differences, big differences, not conveying quite the same original thinking. Not quite the same & almost the original. This is the alchemy of the liar. Since the Scriptures are the Word of the Everlasting God, it is not surprising that they prophetically foretell the events that are to come. Therefore, we can anticipate that the lies of the evil one will spread in many new areas and in new ways. John point to this in the Revelations: A mouth was given to him to speak boasts* and blasphemies. He was also given authority to act.. ...
