It's Irreversible

(Gen 2:19) And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. KJV

Notice how God just let Adam have his way to be creative and give names to all that He has formed from the ground. Man indeed is delegated with power and authority. In this example passage, it is the power to create names. And whatsoever the name given, that was the name thereof. This is an example of God’s delegation of autonomous authority. He delegated that authority to man and He is not ready to supplant man’s decisions with His own. He delegated that authority and He respects that authority, He gives autonomy to that authority. Whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. It was final and binding.

And so God has given Adam the free hand to name every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air that He has formed. But that’s not the only authority that God has given to man. And it is fairly obvious that God has given us a free hand to run our own lives, to the extent that others think there is no God because God does not interfere with their lives. So they say, “if God is all powerful and all sovereign, why can’t He just make my problems go away?” Or “Why can’t He just come down here and fix all the problems in the world!”

God has given to Man the earth to rule and subdue, and with it goes also the responsibility to manage his affairs and all situations as a result of his business with the earth and everything in it including his fellow men. But when things go wrong, people tend to blame God for the mess that they brought upon themselves. God has given to man the authority, and with it goes also the responsibility. Whatever we decide, whatever we do, so it shall be. If your teenage child went on drinking and then drove his motorcycle, don’t blame God if he never made it home.

Get a lesson from that passage “whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.” We have a free hand upon this earth and we ought to be responsible for our actions. That is why it is important to receive instruction from the Word of God, because after that we have taken action, the results are irreversible.

The Operation of God

Col 2:12  Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. The word operation was translated from the Greek:   G1753 ἐνέργεια energeia en-erg'-i-ah From G1756; efficiency (“energy”): - operation, strong, (effectual) working. This gives us an idea of what goes on in the spirit realm when a person comes to Christ. The Scripture says, we are risen with Him through the faith of the operation of God... the energy... the effectual working of God.  Here is what happens in the spirit realm, believers are risen from the dead by this energy - the effectual working of God. And it is made to pass through the faith of this energy. Now, this clearly tells us that this is not Man's faith, it is God's faith.  Notice the first part of this Scripture. It says, Buried with Him in baptism. This is where Man's faith is in operation. Baptism is the answer of a good conscience toward God. The a...

The Operation of the Salvation of God

(Isa 1:2)  Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me. (Isa 6:10)  Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed. (Rom 11:11)  I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. (Rom 11:22)  Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. (Rom 11:25)  For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. (Rom 11:26...

Strengthening ROL

There are many doctrines that we do not know about, and some of them I am also just learning right now. But they are not really necessary and I believe that a Christian doesn't need to know all of them because most of these doctrines are actually devices by the enemy. But we must be fully grounded in the truth so that we may be able to test each of these doctrines when they come around. I am confident that we have the Holy Spirit in us and so we know the truth. What we know cannot be wrong because we know whom we learned them from. It may be that we know only a few things, but these few things always align themselves to the truth because we have received them from the Spirit himself. The teaching that “once saved always saved” really doesn't hold and the doctrine easily crumbles at the words of our Lord in the beginning chapters of the book of Revelations: Rev 2:5   Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto t...
