“Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth” (John 17:17).
Jesus Christ prayed to His Heavenly Father for His followers in Israel’s program (especially His Apostles—John 17:12). He would do likewise for us today in the Dispensation of Grace.
Sanctification is not to be confused with justification. The … ➡

Twice in the Book of Romans, once in Romans 3:22,23, and once in Romans 10:12,13, God uses the phrase, “There is no difference.”
First it is used in connection with the guilt of man. Religious Jews, as well as godless Gentiles; cultured moralist, as well as degraded savages, are … ➡
Many people have truly come to know Christ as Savior after having been sincere, religious “church members” for years. Though faithful supporters of some earthly church organization they had never experienced the truth of II Cor. 5:17: “If any man be in Christ he is a new creation.” It … ➡
