The Fundamentals of the Faith

*The Fundamentals of the Faith*

_Key Bible Text:_
*Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the FOUNDATION OF REPENTANCE FROM DEAD WORKS, and of faith toward God.* (Hebrews 6:1 (KJV)) 
_Bible Insight:_

The teachings of Hebrews 5 emphasized the place of maturity, the sufferings of Christ that proved his obedience, The divine Priest hood of Christ, the practice of godliness and moving from milk to meat. Hebrews 6 takes the emphasis on growth further. Hebrews 6 challenges us to leave the fundamentals of the faith to more deeper teachings of perfection. However, just before we move to the deeper teachings, let's examine the different subjects cited as part of the fundamentals of the faith. 

The first on the list is the subject of repentance from dead works. No believer in Christ becomes born again without repentance from dead works. This is why there is so much emphasis for believers to know when they switched from unbelievers to believers. You have to know at the very least the season of your life, where you decided to surrender to Jesus. Until and except you remember that at a point in your life, you repented from the dead works of sin, there is a fundamental issue. 

Repentance from dead works is so fundamental even for the believer. For a believer to grow, from time to time, he must repent from certain practices as he receives light on those issues. Repentance is the pathway to salvation. Repentance is also the "continue" in salvation button. This is fundamental. This is foundational. Have you repented from dead works of sin?

*I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.* (Luke 13:3 (KJV))

WELCOME TO THE GOSPEL

*DAILY DEW 11TH/DECEMBER/2021* *WELCOME TO THE GOSPEL* _Key Bible Text:_ *And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!* (Romans 10:15 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ In the old testament, an adulterer or adulteress was condemned to be stoned to death before God. That was the law. In the new testament, Jesus said to an adulteress "I do not condemn you, go and sin no more" Believe me, the law had not changed. The penalty for adultery was still death. And Jesus did not come to abolish the law, or change the law. He came to FULFILL it. So He had the right to tell her to go because He was going to bear the penalty for her adultery. He had taken her condemnation upon Himself. He was going to die for her. And so He could tell her to GO....and sin no more. Brothers and sisters; welcome to the Gospel.  _MEDITATION:_ *"The real gospel makes a poor man

What's Your Focus?*

*DAILY DEW 19TH/JULY/2021* *What's Your Focus?*  _Key Bible Text:_ *For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. As one who reckons, he says to you, eat and drink, yet his heart is not with you [but is grudging the cost].* (Proverbs 23:7 (AMP))  _Bible Insight:_ I’ve learnt one thing in life so far: what you focus on somehow expands. Focus on your business, invest your thoughts and imaginations on how to grow it, talk about it with your spouse and friends; and gradually but surely, it will expand.  On the other hand, spend your time on every gist in town and watch the uselessness of your life expand. You will know more gists and gossips and, by the law of attraction, you will attract people like you and your life will nosedive or at best stagnate.  The human mind is powerful to the extent that we focus and whether the focus is to the left or the right, your mind does not care. It will give you back, in multiple folds, what you are steadily planting in it.  This is why the B

As Jesus or As yourself?*

Image
*DAILY DEW 2ND/DECEMBER/2021* *As Jesus or As yourself?* _Key Bible Text:_ * A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.* (John 13:34 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ One of the most outstanding things about the Christmas season is the birth of Christ. While we must remember or even celebrate this blessed season, we must never forget the spirit behind God's move and decision in sending His son Jesus. The answer to the why of Jesus' coming to earth is simply, LOVE. John 3:16 may have been abused but it cannot be overused or overemphasized. Jesus is God's decision born out of love. "For God so loved", he couldn't help but "gave His only begotten son". And even that had a reason, "that whosoever believes in Him, should not perish but have everlasting life". So God's love in sending Jesus was not exactly "reckless" but absolutely intentional and expedien
