Perfected By Blood

In James 2:14 -26 we read that Faith without Works is Dead, or faith, if it has no works, is dead. Is James contradicting Paul? The Book of James, in contrast to the common belief, has nothing to do with 'rules' in Christianity. It is a spiritual book, with a spiritual language, using multiple metaphors to says the same thing Paul says in his epistles. The subject of faith vs works has been a poin...

What does 'from Faith to Faith' mean? And how is the Righteousness of God revealed? These are the questions that can drastically change the meaning of righteousness and faith, or better to say Righteousness by Faith. The Greek words for 'from' and 'to' are 'ek' and 'eis', referring to 'source' and 'destiny'. It is the Faith of God that becomes the basis for our faith, and this reveals the Righteou...

What is faith according to the Bible and how does it work? There are many Bible teachings on faith but they don't show the original meaning of faith in the Bible. This Bible study about faith unveils God's purpose from the beginning of all things. To understand faith according to the Bible, we need to search the New Testament scriptures. The Bible uses the word 'faith' 244 times in the New Testame...

Jesus spoke of the Days of Vengeance, but not without considering what the Old Testament scriptures had written about. Often what He said is attributed to a vindictive wrathful action from God's part on the world. However, just as is the case with God's Judgment, the Vengeance of God is not against mankind, but toward what has oppressed him.

The Last Day or the Last Days are often perceived as the Judgment Day just because Jesus said: "The word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day". - John 12:48 But putting the old understand away, what did Jesus mean by 'The Last Day'? To understand it, we have to find out the Old Testament foundation for the Last Days. The first time this term is used is in Genesis 49. Jacob, the father...

When Jesus spoke concerning the Coming of the Son of Man He said it would be like the days of Lot. To know what Jesus meant we need to focus on the terminologies He used. One of the things He mentioned is 'they bought, they sold'. But what's the buying and selling? Does He speak of shopping/trading? Or is there a mystery hidden underneath? He also said "on the day that Lot went out of Sodom". What...

And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame, rather than having two feet, to be cast into HELL, into the FIRE that shall never be quenched. OR If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having two hands, to go to HELL, into the FIRE that shall never be quenched. OR And if your foot causes you t...

Rapture, pre Tribulation, mid Tribulation, post Tribulation! Doctrines created, just because Jesus said "They will DELIVER you up to TRIBULATION and KILL you", and similar verses! Tribulation and Rapture the the most overused words when it comes to End Times Doctrines. You will be amazed to find out that tribulation is not what's been taught by many!  

What a word, what a statement, what a power: - Whoever LIVES and BELIEVES in Me shall NEVER DIE! This came out of the mouth of the Lord Jesus (John 11:26), of whom Paul says "has brought Life and Immortality to the light". For ages and generations man lived by the power of his soulish wisdom, and the strength natural food, and he withered as the grass of the field. But Jesus, a Man endued with the...

The moment these precious words left the mouth of Jesus that: "HEAVEN and EARTH will PASS AWAY but My Words will by no means PASS AWAY" The opportunity for the carnal mind to interpret that 'literally' began. The modern day Christianity has embraced a modern day teaching concerning these words of the Lord Jesus, and has left us with a veiled understanding. But God hasn't left us without help so th...

Another misconception concerning the Coming of Jesus is what Matthew 24:40 -41 says: "Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left." Listen to this Podcast to find out the one who will be taken away is the one who sowed the bad seed in the field of your heart.

While majority of the Church of Jesus Christ remains ignorant to the spiritual treasures of the spoken word of the Lord Jesus Christ, many are being awakened into the unsearchable riches of Christ, yet not the one who dwell in a far off heaven, but the 'Christ in You'. Without understanding what the 'clouds of heaven' mean, we will never have a true understanding of the Coming of the Son of Man, a...

On the night Jesus was betrayed, the entire ruler system of the day came to arrest Him. They asked for Jesus of Nazareth, to which He replied: I AM HE. When the words came out of the mouth of the Lord, they all drew back and fell to the ground. There was power in those words. These are the same exact words by which God revealed His Name to Moses, saying: I AM. Why would Jesus use these words? Why...

When it comes to sowing and reaping, Jesus showed the truth by saying: "I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labors." - John 4:38 Reaping is at the time of Harvest. Israel had Feasts around the Harvests given by them by the Lord. Understanding the Feasts, reveals the true sowing and reaping meant by God. Jesus referred to His...

Yes, Jesus said "when the Bridegroom will be taken away from them; then they will FAST", but what He meant has to to interpreted by the Spirit, just as HE often said "He who has an ear to hear, let him hear what the Spirit says...". To understand this verse we need to understand what is "eating & drinking", what is "fasting", who is the "bridegroom" and who is the "bride". Only then we'll understa...

In the top of the list of all messages preached in the church stand: "Take up your cross and follow Me". This is what Jesus said to Peter when he denied the will of God: "I must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day". This is where Peter was called 'Satan', and Jesus told everyone: "If anyone desires to com...

I said, “You are gods, and ALL of you are Children of the Most High. This is from Psalm 82:6, which is quoted by Jesus Christ in Psalm 10:34. But why did Jesus say You are Gods? This Podcasts walks you through some deep understanding of knowing Who you really are IN CHRIST.

Another saying of Jesus that is a key to experience Life within is what He said in Matthew 18: “If your hand or foot causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life lame or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into the everlasting fire." Listen to this podcast to realize how your feet will take you to the kingdom and your hand can...

Religiosity and Jesus are two different things. Jesus said: "Until now you have ASKED NOTHING in My NAME. Ask and you will receive that your joy may be full". What religion has done over the ages, is to steal what belongs to the children of God, the Bread, and has made them to be beggars of the crumbs only. But Jesus said, unlike the thieves and robbers who came before Me, and stole from you what...

Literal readings of the Bible puts a veil on the truth. Jesus said: If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell" -Matthew 5:29 We know there are many whose 'right eye' has caused them to sin, but not many have plucked it out. Find out what this eye is and how...

One of the astonishing statement Jesus made was (Mark 11:13-24). The key phrase in these verses is 'This Mountain' and 'Cast into the Sea'. If we let the scriptures interpret scripture, we can find what 'This Mountain' is and what 'Casting into the Sea' means. Not understanding these truths spoken very bluntly by Jesus is the reason the rest of these scriptures don't become a reality in life. Many...

The understanding of 'Israel' is one of the sacred truth that has been hidden for centuries. Jesus seeing Nathaniel for the first time said: "Behold a True Israelite, in whom there is no deceit". Clearly he refers to being an "Israelite", to something called "deceit". But what is "deceit"? Where is "deceit"? And why Nathaniel was with "no deceit"? The answer can be found in Revelation 14, and John...

A striking truth Jesus pointed out was that "You can not Serve God and Mammon". Everything in this verse is very clear, except 'mammon'. Mammon is always interpreted as 'money', and it's been taken as 'you can not serve God and money. Although that is true, meaning if you become a servant of money, you'll be slave to money and not free in regards to your relationship with God, but that's a very su...

If you follow Jesus in His teaching, you'll realize He was always clear about the line between the Kingdom of God, and the Law and the Prophets. He emphasized on the truth that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the Pharisees, you won't enter the Kingdom of God. Yet sometimes Matthew 5:17 is taken as He said he would bring a more strict Law. That's not what Jesus meant.

Did God forsake Him on the cross? To find the answer, we need to realize Jesus wasn't confessing what He was feeling, but He was quoting Psalm 22:1. He took everyone's attention to what was prophesied. It was written that He would be surrounded by all those who had become like Adam of old, seeing God as the One who forsook them, and therefore project their belief on Him as though it was true about...
