The Word: The Object to Faith
http://cause-of-god.blogspot.com/2010/07/object-to-faith.html
Monday, July 26, 2010. The Object to Faith. We have been discussing the faith that justifies, focusing on Paul’s summary beginning in Romans 8:31: If God is for us, who can be against us? 8221; Paul continues by asking some rhetorical questions such as in verse 34, “Who is to condemn? No one. Why? Christ Jesus is the one who died [as condemned].” In fact, there are four particulars which support the negative response to the question. Who will condemn a justified person?

The Word: Justifying Faith
http://cause-of-god.blogspot.com/2010/07/justifying-faith.html
Monday, July 26, 2010. 8220;He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised” (Romans 8:32-34). Now Paul asks, “Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect?

The Word: Asking—Why So Hard?
http://cause-of-god.blogspot.com/2012/07/askingwhy-so-hard.html
Tuesday, July 31, 2012. Asking—Why So Hard? The Spirit is now the Interpreter of spiritual truth and the revealer of the unseen Father. On that basis, Jesus promised, "You will ask in my name." The implication is that we will have confidence to ask the Father for what we need. He also argues that the He will not need to convince the Father to hear us because the Father already loves us. What a glorious truth is this! Yet, for all the encouragement, we do not ask. Why? July 15, 2016 at 11:02 AM.

The Word: Of All-Sufficient Worth
http://cause-of-god.blogspot.com/2010/08/of-all-sufficient-worth.html
Friday, August 6, 2010. Along with an unspecific accounting of one’s sinfulness, there is a similar unspecific view of the work of Christ. We believe that Jesus died to save sinners, however applied, without any focus on His taking the place of definite sinners and paying for their precise sins. A sweeping generalization fails to appreciate the particulars of His satisfaction so necessary to one’s assurance. No sin is so great that Christ’s blood cannot atone for it. God “did not spare. There is nothing ...

The Word: Who Will Justify Me?
http://cause-of-god.blogspot.com/2010/07/who-will-justify-me.html
Monday, July 26, 2010. Who Will Justify Me? Paul concludes his arguments on salvation by grace in Romans 8 in a very triumphant language: “He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised” (Romans 8:32-34). Here is the judicial scenario: the elect of God cannot be vindicated as i...

The Word: Professing or Possessing
http://cause-of-god.blogspot.com/2011/10/professing-or-possessing.html
Monday, October 10, 2011. Paul argued that a little doubt is good for the soul. It prods one to look deeper. The Corinthian church’s problems led Paul to write, “Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you? 8211;unless indeed you fail to meet the test! 8221; (2 Corinthians 13:5). What is the test? Is it that one professes faith?

The Word: Making the Impossible a Reality
http://cause-of-god.blogspot.com/2011/10/making-impossible-reality.html
Monday, October 10, 2011. Making the Impossible a Reality. 8220;Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony” (Colossians 3:12-14, ESV). October 10, 2011 at 3:11 PM. This comment has been removed by the author.
