Things New and Old

Ancient truths revealed in the Scriptures are often forgotten, disbelieved or distorted, and therefore lost in the passage of time. Such ancient truths when rediscovered and relearned are 'new' additions to the treasury of ancient truths.

Christ showed many new things to the disciples, things prophesied by the prophets of old but hijacked and perverted by the elders and their traditions, but which Christ reclaimed and returned to His people.

Many things taught by the Apostles of Christ have been perverted or substituted over the centuries. Such fundamental doctrines like salvation by grace and justification have been hijacked and perverted and repudiated by sincere Christians. These doctrines need to be reclaimed and restored to God's people.

There are things both new and old here. "Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things" 2Ti 2:7.

You WERE > washed, sanctified, and justified > You ARE

You WERE > washed, sanctified, and justified > you ARE.

1Corinthians 6
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

Have you been washed, sanctified, and justified?
- why does one need to be washed?
- why does one need to be sanctified?
- why does one need to be justified?

Do you know the meanings of these activities?
- who performed these activities?
- to whom are these activities performed?
- what's the basis for the performance of these activities?
- did a man do anything for these activities to be performed on him?

I would love to know your thoughts;

Exercise your mind on these things.

Don't be distracted by the sound of the jingle bell.
