God's Grace is always free. It is a gift to be received, not a prize to be earned. "Salvation is not granted to men as a result of anything they are, or do, or resolve to be, but it is the undeserved gift of heaven."

Sanctification
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that
not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Ephesians 2:8-9

message1

The new birth, the beginning of spiritual life for every believer. When divine life is imparted, the Holy Spirit enters the believer's body. This miracle is achieved through the hearing and believing of God's Word, by the working of the Holy Spirit and by our response to God of believing the truth.

Regeneration
That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
John 3:6,7

message10

This means "to reckon" or "to put to one's account" by a judicial act of God. God put our sins upon Christ at the cross and He put Christ's righteousness upon us as believers.

Imputation
To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
2 Corinthians 5:19

message9

A middle-man is needed to bring together a Holy God and sinful men. This is the "daysman" for which Job longed and which Christ proved to be.

Mediation
And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive
the promise of eternal inheritance.
Hebrews 9:15

message8

You were bought with a price. Believers were once the slaves of sin and uncleanness, the curse of the Law's terrible judgment, fear of impending death, and Satan's power. Now we have been made free in Christ because He has paid the price with His own precious blood.

Redemption
...ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
1 Peter 1:18-19

message5

Through Christ's work, not that of man, God has become favorable to us and the claims of justice have been satisfied. The man who prayed the sinner's prayer cried, "God, be propitious to me."

Propitiation
...being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed.
Romans 3:24-25

message4

Baptism is a picture of salvation.  It is very important, and it follows the new birth, but does not cause it.


Baptism
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Matthew 28:19

message7

A divine act of a holy God whereby a sinner who believes in Christ is pronounced righteous before Him and acquited of all charges. Justification is by grace, by faith and by His blood, without works and apart from the law. Justification by works is a demonstration of the reality of faith already possessed, an outward display of faith by action, following salvation.

Justification
...knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.
Galatians 2:16

The Eternal God

The audio of the Bible Truth Broadcast Radio Show for the air date of Sunday, April 25, 2010 has been posted. This is broadcast number 1610, entitled "The Eternal God" by Jim Hunt. We spend all of our time in time. We always want to know what time it is. We are ever conscious of the fact that time is slipping away. We spend our whole existence living from moment to moment. But God is not like that. He does not have a succession of moments. The fact that God is eternal means that He transcends time. It is not as if God's existence is like our existence, only longer, rather God lives beyond time. That is why His perspective on time is so different from ours.

You Must Be Born Again

The audio of the Bible Truth Broadcast Radio Show for the air date of Sunday, April 18, 2010 has been posted. This is broadcast number 1510, entitled "You Must Be Born Again" by Saul Cooper. These words were spoken to a very religious person by Jesus Christ. Himself. This was true then and it is still true today. That is our topic "You Must Be Born Again taken for John chapter three verses one through ten. As we go through this study this morning, ask yourself this question, "Am I truly born again?" Jesus tells Nicodemus that to enter the kingdom of heaven you must be born again.

National Day of Prayer 2010

National Day of Prayer 2010 - Radio Recording

Our Father and our God in heaven, who sustains his people with patience and loving kindness. We place in your hands the United States of America for Your loving care. You are the rock on which this nation was founded. You alone are the true National Prayer Daysource of our treasured rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. As undeserving as we are, We ask you to hear this prayer of your servant, in which we come to you confessing that our nation has sinned against you, and have turned a blind eye to your commandments. We have allowed millions of babies to be destroyed, calling it freedom of choice. We have placed pleasure before moral values and ignored keeping your commandments. As a nation our sins against you are as high as the heavens. Our nations is filled with pornography, homosexuality and sexual promiscuity, which is against your commandments. I ask you to remember your promise to forgive us of our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Heavenly Father we asked in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ that you have compassion upon us. Help us to restore the long lost values that once guided this nation. That once again the sanctity of life and morality will be sacred to all Americans. We also ask that you would intervene in the life of our president such that he will always seek your counsel in making decisions for the Nation. We also ask that you would protect him in his daily activities. Give Him wisdom and understanding to deal with the many task that he has to perform. Watch over his family, keep them from an harm and give them peace.

We also ask that you watch over our Senators as they make laws that affect the nation. Give guidance to the House of Representatives for they too are your servants. We ask that they be given wisdom to meet the challenge of their daily responsibilities. We also ask for your divine intervention in their lives, giving them and their families protection and safety.

Then Father the city of El Paso. We ask your continued blessings upon our mayor, and city council giving them wisdom to carry on the business of running our city. Providing the necessary tools for their work requirements, knowledge and understanding to work with the people of El Paso. Help our city to be a city that honors you as their God.

Father we need your watchful eye over our police department, fire department and those who are in support of them. That you give them safety and guidance in their respective jobs. Especially of the law enforcement officers and fireman, guard their lives in the performance of their daily duties, at work and at home.

Finally Father we ask you to reclaim this land for Your glory and for the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ as he lives in Your people. Send Your Spirit to touch the hearts of our nation's leaders. Open their minds to the great worth of human life, and the responsibilities that accompany human freedom. Remind Your people that true happiness is rooted in seeking and doing Your will.

We are eternally thankful that you are our Father and God, who cares for His people and loves to answer our prayers. We give you all the praise and all the honor and all the glory for all that you do. To you be the honor and the glory now and forever.

Amen

Enoch

The audio of the Bible Truth Broadcast Radio Show for the air date of Sunday, March 21, 2010 has been posted. This is broadcast number 0110, entitled "Enoch" by Saul Cooper. In every age and dispensation, God has had His chosen servants exhibiting to all who are around the power of faith, and the beauty of holiness. In the first age of the world, there was Abel, the first of the noble army of martyrs; spoken of by Jesus in Luke 11:51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the house of God; yes, I tell you, it shall be charged against this generation.'
