- Consecration
is more than. It is the action that follows love. One who has consecrated
himself is separated from everything in this world – from all his former
masters. Henceforth, he will do nothing but what his new Master commands.
- True
sanctification is brought to the heart of God when we are really “wasting”
ourselves upon Him (Matt. 26:7-8)
- Humility
means a person will accept whatever the Lord gives him, for his expectations
are not focused on himself. He is able to shout “hallelujah!” and offer thanks
to the Lord concerning anything the Lord may be pleased to give.
- We humble
ourselves before God in order that we may seek our lack and receive from His
abundance of grace.
- What is
faith? Faith is when you are brought to the place whereby you can claim from
God that something has already been done even though it appears it has not.
- Faith is
the substantiation of things hoped for (Heb. 11:1). This means making them real
in experience. Substance is an object, I possess – something before me.
Substantiating means that I have the power or faculty to make that substance be
real to me.
- Salvation as
a personal and subjective experience rests on the Lord’s resurrection rather
than His death. Though the death of Christ was necessary for atonement
objectively before God, the New Testament lays emphasis on our faith in
resurrection. It is through His resurrection that we have the proof of His
death being accepted.
- Salvation
is a matter of position. As long as a person is in Adam (walking according to
the course of the world), he stands opposite to God, making him an enemy to
God.
