We Were Slaves

(quote from RealReality.org/Real_Faith_and_Reason_Vol_3_-_Scientia.pdf)

We were Satan’s slaves, but Christ rescued us from this slavery, and He opened the door for us to walk free from sin. Therefore, we can know Jesus Christ. Anyone can know Christ since every person who seeks Him finds Him, and He reveals Himself to us. So He’ll continue to lead us, teach us, correct us, and purify us moment by moment as we yield ourselves in obedience to His love. That’s His gift to us. It’s free. When we receive this revelation from the Holy Spirit, we’re born again into God’s family as one of His children. Our fellowship with God began at our new birth as we began an expedition of the unfolding revelation of Christ and His glory. Now, we continue our journey from one glory to the next glory in an ever-upward walk toward the fullness of Christ.

HIS REGULATION

(quote from RealReality.org/Real_Faith_and_Reason_Vol_3_-_Scientia.pdf)

Note that it’s His power or regulation rather than our self-effort and our ideas. It’s His gift of righteousness by grace. Grace is through faith. Faith comes by hearing. Hearing comes by the rhema of God. It all starts with His rhema, His utterance, His leading, His teaching, His correcting voice. We must topple is the idol of human intellect and self-righteousness.

The Highest Price

(quote from RealReality.org/Real_Faith_and_Reason_Vol_3_-_Scientia.pdf)

There’s another part of God’s revelation we must understand, and everyone on this journey may already understand, but we put it here to be complete. God loves us, and we can know this truth with certainty by God’s revelation. He knows we fall far short of absolute righteousness and holiness. Therefore, being a just God, He must judge us in a just way. That would mean punishment in hell. However, He didn’t want this punishment for us since He loves us so much, so He suffered our penalty, paying the price for our wrong thoughts, words, and acts. That price was the highest price anyone’s ever paid for anything. And He paid it with His blood on the cross, a Roman instrument of torture and shame. He bore the curse of every sinner.

LISTEN

Interpretation versus Bible

(quote from RealReality.org/Real_Faith_and_Reason_Vol_3_-_Scientia.pdf)

We’ll find God never gives any revelation that conflicts with Scripture but often gives a revelation that conflicts with our varied interpretations of Scripture. So we’ll ask God to pull the dark veil away so we can gaze into the Light. And perhaps we’ll at least begin to see how we can apply this Light in a useful way in every part of our lives.
