calling on the name of the Lord is our daily Christian practice, and it is so normal

February 22, 2010 by aGodMan 15 Comments

Actually, the first believers / disciples were recognized by their calling on the name of the Lord Jesus – that’s how Paul, when he was Saul, would find them and then imprison them. This practice of calling on the name of the Lord is not something new or invented by someone, but it is a […]

and whatever you do in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus

This morning, I enjoyed this verse from Col. 3:17 And whatever you do in word or in deed, do all things in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. In our Christian life and experience, we need to call on the name of the Lord, breathe Him in […]

the same Lord is Lord of all and RICH to all those who call upon His name!

How I love the name of Jesus! Just like Rom. 10:12-13 says: For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord is Lord of all and rich to all who call upon Him; For “whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” we can be saved by calling […]

God is willing to do many things, but He waits for our cooperation, our prayer

February 10, 2010 by aGodMan 1 Comment

There are some very encouraging verses in the Bible like “all things that you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and you will have them”(Mark 11:24) and “… that whatever you ask the Father in My name, He may give you” (John 15:16). These and many other verses (John 14:13, 15:7, 16:24) show […]

God created us with a free will so that we may freely choose Him

February 8, 2010 by aGodMan Leave a Comment

I think that we all, at one point in life, wondered about this: Why didn’t God create man NOT with a free will – why are things so much more complicated now, since there’s God and there’s Satan, and we have to choose one of them? If God would have just made us with a […]

All that Christ has attained and obtained is to the church!

When we were regenerated, we became members of the Body of Christ – where Christ is the Head and we, the believers in Christ, are the many members of the Body. Just like in a human body, whatever the head does/has/attains unto, it is the same for the body (of the head). If the head […]

we were seated with Christ in the heavenlies – we can live a heavenly life on earth!

This morning I enjoyed being reminded what our position is in our salvation – when we were saved, we not only received the divine life into us, but we also were raised together with Christ (Col. 3:1-2) and seated with Him in the heavenlies (Eph. 2:5-6)! Actually, even “when we were dead in offenses, God made […]
