More on all the fullness dwelling bodily in the Lord Jesus Christ. It is important to know, as Lightfoot said, "It is not 'in a body' for Deity cannot be so confined. It is not 'in the form of a body' for this might suggest the unreality of Christ's human body, but 'bodily,' i. e., bodily-wise, or with a bodily manifestation."

Today we conclude our study concerning the doctrine of perseverance. We shall see that the elect are preserved by triune power of the Trinity.

The philosophies of the world are in opposition to the truth of the Holy Scriptures. While the creation clearly declares the divinity of God, the deity of God is manifested bodily in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Today we continue our study concerning the doctrine of perseverance. We shall review Colossians 1:11; Job 17:9; and Philippians 1:6.

Second part to the fact that we live in a world of ideas and philosophies that often sound appealing and logical to the natural mind. Today there are brilliant people who use philosophical speech and interject words of imagination that sound plausible and appeal to rational thinking but in reality the Scriptures do not explicitly say such. Though it sounds too simplistic, the truth of the matter is all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are found in Christ.

Excellent knowledge is essential in spiritual growth in the life of a believer. Though we cannot fully comprehend the mystery of the Godhead, it is needful that we understand some things about it. Also, we must know that all the treasures of the wisdom and knowledge are hid in Christ.

Christ and the New Testament did not quote from the Septuagint. God would have use to search out, study, and understand the truth of the Scriptures; for example, we should be able to understand the definition of the hypostatic union of Christ.

Today we begin studying the doctrine of perseverance. Too often this is set in opposition to preservation when in reality both are the two sides of the same coin.

Paul exhorted the congregation at Colosse to be knit together and unified in the Spirit.

Today we conclude studying the experimental aspect of sanctification in the life of the believer as he lives on earth and his final and complete sanctification in glory.

Paul had a passionate desire for all saints to be established in the faith and be likeminded in the love of God; even to those he had never seen.

The hidden mystery spoken of in Colossians and Ephesians was that the Gentiles would be brought into the kingdom and on the same level with the Jews. Paul warned every man and this is the centrality of the gospel. Likewise, he labored and strived to present the believer as a chaste virgin unto the Lord.

Sufferings and afflictions do not only affect the individual but extend out to the congregation. The effects of Paul's sufferings were not limited to him but they were beneficial to the congregation. Likewise, the sufferings of each member affect the congregation. We not on rejoice together but we suffer together as well.

Today we continue studying the experimental aspect of sanctification in the life of the believer as he lives on earth. Today's podcast concludes with the topics of repentance and conversion but focusing on conversion.

Only those who are grounded and settled in the faith and not moved away from the hope of the gospel are reconciled by Christ and are holy, unblameable, and unreprovable in the sight of God. It is such faithful believers that are often persecuted for righteousness' sake and are blessed to commune with Christ.

What a wondrous blessing that Christ in the body of His flesh reconciled His people to God and we stand holy, unblameable, and unreproveable in His sight. This promise is to those who continue in the faith. The "if" is not an if of a hypothetical condition but one of certainty.
