Before we begin our study on the remnant, I would like to define a few terms in our text:

The Calling Of Christ’s Church – Part 1
We begin a new study entitled: “The calling of Christ’s church”.
Our text will be II Thessalonians 2:13-14.
Today we will consider Christ’s church. Now many can say: I go to the Baptist church, or the Catholic church, or the Methodist church. I’m not speaking of these so-called “churches”. I’m speaking of the calling of Christ’s church.
Christ’s [...]

A Study Of Romans 6:20
Romans 6:20
For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
Remember that “servants of sin” are those sinners who do not believe in Christ ALONE for ALL of their salvation.

A Study Of Romans 6:19

The Born Again Experience – Part 7
“Marvel not that I said unto thee, ye must be born again.”
John 3:7
Jesus tells Nicodemus not to marvel (be surprised) that ye must be born again. Nicodemus should have known from Old Testament scriptures of the new birth which we looked at in previous verses, but I’ll repeat here:

To review, ‘The call of God’ has three points:
1) The call of the gospel.
2) The external call of the gospel.
3) The internal call of the gospel.
_____________________________________________________

“But God forbid that I should glory (have confidence in, [...]
