Perspective on the lifestyle and philosophy that the LORD Jesus Christ anticipates that His people will develop during their sojourn on planet earth

Love is important in expressing the gospel to the world. Prophecy is important in expressing the gospel to the world. But without the gospel, the good news of the Lord Jesus Christ, nothing is of any value. For without our knowledge and belief in the gospel, we are not saved from the destruction that is sure to come to the world. Without our knowledge and belief in the gospel, we have no part in the everlasting life that the Lord God would love for us to have and sent His Son to give us.

Since the New Testament is the historical source document for the information that we have about the Lord Jesus Christ, we have to examine the New Testament to ascertain whether the history that the New Testament transmits to us meets the burden of historical proof. If it does, then we have to reevaluate our preconceived ideas about the Lord Jesus Christ to put them in line with that which the New Testament tells us.

That which grows from that which is sown is glorious. The seed of the rose plant sits in the hand as a negligible object, but throw it in the ground, and we cherish the glorious rose flower that comes from that same seed that we would never put in a vase on put on our table. And that same cycle of life exists for us.

Paul kept in touch with the Corinthians through the emissaries that he sent there, and had this back and forth, culminating in this second letter to the Corinthians that the Holy Spirit decided should become part of the canonical record.

The saints of God have always committed sin, which is why the Lord Jesus Christ died on Calvary’s Cross that sins might be forgiven. And even Jesus Himself did not preach perfection, but restoration.

The truth is that although the Lord Jesus Christ did not come to the world to condemn it, those that do not develop and understanding and appreciation for the truth will in fact be condemned. Our eternal salvation is not based upon our personal goodness or righteousness, because in the day of judgment, our personal righteousness will be found wanting. Our eternal salvation is based upon our faith in the death, burial and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, who paid the price that we owe for our sins and can grant us the free gift of salvation.

But by convincing young women to defer marriage to a later date, the devil is actually convincing young women to allow their male peer group to move on to different women. Young women are finding that their career successes during their twenties put them in competition with the young men in their peer group, and when a man looks for a wife, he is not looking for someone with whom he can compete. So, the young men in their natural peer group look for younger women with whom they can be husband and wife, not co-husbands.
