Lawlessness In Today’s World

Posted on by

Jesus Christ, Paul and others warned that as the end of this age approaches lawlessness would grow worse, although the world has been generally lawless since the beginning of human history. It’s important to learn what the Bible says about lawlessness, and how God hates it, and how we must strive to overcome it in our own flesh with God’s help.

Disputing Doctrine

Posted on by

For a Christian doctrine is not something we can safely ignore or take lightly. It is one of the factors that will make the difference between ultimately perishing or having salvation in God’s Kingdom, according to Scripture.

This fact is reflected in the very first chapter of Genesis: Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness…. So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them” (Genesis 1:26-27).

But at that time, while human beings were created in the image of God in certain respects, their nature was not God’s nature. They did not have the mind nor the character of God. The love and the fullness of God was not in them.

Yet, to be ultimately filled with his love and the fullness of God was the purpose for which God created human beings. And you have the potential to begin fulfilling that purpose now, the very purpose for which you exist!

In this article is revealed the means by which you can experience the love and the fullness of God. Continue reading →
