       [color=black][color=white]We Have Christ’s Atonement Now[/color]
       [/color]
       By Justin Johnson
       “And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus
       Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.” – Romans
       5:11
       Romans 5:11 in the King James Bible is under constant attack for
       using the word atonement instead of reconciliation. An attack
       was recently republished by the Berean’s email list originally
       written by the late Pastor Sadler.
       The usual attack is to say that the word atonement means
       something less than the complete satisfaction of sins through a
       just reparation.
       Instead it is taught that atonement means to merely cover or
       hide from view, while reconciliation means to clean and remove.
       While it is true that we have the ministry of reconciliation (2
       Cor 5:20), this error makes atonement insufficient to deal with
       sins.
       This causes problems with the clear interpretation of other
       passages of scripture, and, more importantly, means either
       Christ did not atone for sins or his substitutionary atonement
       was incomplete.
       None of these are acceptable.
       [b]Defining Atonement
       The common argument presented in our recent example says:
       “The Hebrew word kaphar, translated “atonement” in the Old
       Testament meant ‘to cover.’ Hence, the blood of bulls and goats
       merely covered the sins of those in Old Testament times; it
       didn’t have the efficacy to remove them.”
       The failure of animal sacrifices to take away sins is recognized
       from the teaching in Hebrews 10:4 and Heb 10:11.
       “For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats
       should take away sins.” – Heb 10:4.
       But why was it not possible?
       If it were true that God-ordained sacrifices never
       satisfactorily dealt with sins then why is sacrificial blood
       described as cleansing, reconciling, purging, sanctifying, and
       forgiving people of sins? (Lev 14:19; Lev 16:30; Eze 43:20; Num
       35:33; 1 Sam 3:14; Heb 9:22-23)
       Under the law of Moses, God ordained animal sacrifices as a
       means through which sinful Israel could receive forgiveness,
       cleansing, reconciliation, and satisfaction before God. It was
       part of their covenant.
       This is contrary to the false idea that atonement does not
       cleanse, but reconciliation does. This kind of error leads to
       saying wrong and dangerous things such as:
       “In other words, the blood of Christ doesn’t atone for our sins,
       it actually cleanses them forevermore.” – Sadler, In What Sense
       Did Christ Atone?.
       The truth is that the blood of Christ does atone. it is the
       final atonement for a nation who needed atoned continually every
       year, the only propitiation for my sins (Rom 3:25), and is how I
       receive now the atonement (Rom 5:11).
       The Yearly Day of Atonement for Israel
       Each year Israel was commanded to have a day of atonement
       complete with animal sacrifices that would cleanse them from all
       their sins.
       “For on that day shall the priest make an atonement for you, to
       cleanse you, that ye may be clean from all your sins before the
       LORD.” – Lev 16:30
       According to Hebrews 10 the problem with animal sacrifices was
       that they were offered continually, repeatedly, over and over,
       each year. This problem of time and frequency is what Hebrews 10
       and Romans 5 addresses, as we shall see.
       Why was it not possible for the blood of bulls and goats to take
       away sins? (Heb 10:4)
       “But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of
       sins every year.” – Hebrews 10:3
       Despite the thousands of sacrifices they offered throughout the
       year, the final day of atonement would bring to remembrance all
       of those sins and send them out of the nation. Rinse and repeat
       (Lev 16:34).
       When would their sins be taken away once and for all?
       Waiting for Atonement
       Prophetically, these holy days for Israel spoke to the future
       time of their promised salvation. Passover was a shadow of
       Christ’s death. The feast of unleavened bread his burial. The
       feast of firstfruits his resurrection. The day of atonement was
       a shadow for the day in Israel’s future when their sins would be
       atoned once and for all.
       Daniel’s seventy weeks prophesied of the final reconciliation
       for iniquity that would occur at the end of those weeks (Dan
       9:24).
       Peter preached that since Jesus was Israel’s final sacrifice
       they had the opportunity for their sins to be blotted out in the
       future when he returned with the times of refreshing.
       “Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be
       blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the
       presence of the Lord…” – Acts 3:19
       Even Paul mentions the future time of fulfillment of their final
       day of atonement when “all Israel shall be saved” (Romans
       11:26).
       “For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their
       sins.” – Romans 11:27
       By using the word “atonement” in Romans 5:11 the KJB draws our
       attention to the subject of Israel’s promises, but by using the
       word “now” it stands in contrast to their future day of
       atonement, providing the benefits of atonement to us now in the
       present dispensation of grace.
       The Mystery of Atonement
       Israel waits for the fulfillment of their prophesied day of
       atonement when Jesus will be recognized as their final and
       better sacrificial Lamb, but Paul describes a mystery in Romans
       5 about salvation offered freely to all men now.
       By the riches of God’s grace we have many things now as a
       present possession that Israel has only in a future promise or
       covenant.
       According to the revelation of the mystery, the dispensation of
       the grace of God, we have peace now with God by faith (Rom 5:1).
       We are “now justified by his blood” (Rom 5:9).
       Reconciliation is a done deal, as the present benefits of his
       death; salvation from wrath is guaranteed by his resurrection
       life (Rom 5:10).
       Israel is waiting for their future reconciliation and
       fulfillment of their day of atonement at the times of
       refreshing, but now we joy in God because we have NOW the
       atonement.
       Romans 5:11 is correct in saying we have “now the atonement”,
       because it draws attention to this important mystery truth.
       Christ is my atonement, providing all its benefits to me now by
       his grace.

       [color=white]The Judgment Seat of Christ[/color]
  HTML http://graceambassadors.com/books/romans/the-judgment-seat-of-christ
       By Justin Johnson
       Every person will eventually stand before the Lord and be
       judged.
       “So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.”
       – Romans 14:12
       Yes, even those that trust the gospel of the grace of God. After
       all, Christ is our Head, why wouldn’t we as members of his body
       be accountable to him?
       “we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.” –
       Romans 14:10
       The important question you need to ask is for what are you being
       judged? It would be good to know before that day.
       [b]The Judgment of Sin
       All sin must be judged, but if you trust the gospel, then the
       judgment you face will not be for sin.
       When Christ died he took the judgment for sin upon himself. By
       his resurrection he offers forgiveness of sins through faith in
       what he accomplished in our place (Rom 3:24-26; 2 Cor 5:21).
       When you trust this gospel that saves you are counted as
       crucified with Christ, and your sin has already been judged by
       the cross. What remains for you is to live through the power of
       the resurrection of Christ.
       If you are crucified with Christ, then you will not face a
       judgment again for sin, because by grace you are saved through
       faith in Christ. You cannot be condemned for sin again. The
       judgment of sin is over for you.
       Judgment of Responsibility
       Though the believer’s sin is judged by Christ’s cross, the saved
       will still stand before the Lord in judgment.
       At this point, some cry “double jeopardy” as if we are held in
       judgment again for our sins, but this is not so.
       Remember, salvation is not from judgment, but from the judgment
       of sin which is death.
       Yes, you are still accountable to the Lord Jesus Christ. There
       is nothing more right than that members of the Body are held
       accountable to their Head.
       You will face judgment for your responsibility in His body.
       Being made servants of Christ there is work entrusted to us as
       members of His body according to what Christ has given us by
       grace.
       In fact, only believers can be held accountable for this work as
       servants of Christ. Unbelievers are neither made servants of
       Christ nor do they have any responsibility as workmen for the
       Lord. They will be accountable to the Lord for their sins at a
       different judgment.
       The judgment where members of the body of Christ attend is
       called the “judgment seat of Christ” in Romans 14:10. This is
       different than the judgment of nations before Israel’s kingdom
       (Matt 25) and the great white throne judgment of the wicked in
       Rev 20:12 and Rev 21:8.
       Our Work Judged
       For what are we being judged if not for sin or salvation?
       This judgment seat will judge the sort of work done by members
       of His body, whether according to God’s will or not. It is
       described in 1 Cor 3 and 2 Cor 5:10.
       In 1 Cor 3:10 Paul describes himself as the wise masterbuilder
       laying the foundation of Christ, elsewhere described as Christ
       according to the revelation of the mystery (1 Cor 4:1; Rom
       16:25).
       Paul admonishes…
       “let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon” – 1 Cor 3:10
       The judgment on that day will not be to determine the character
       of a man’s soul whether his identity is that of a sinner or a
       saint. At this judgment all are believers and are sanctified in
       Christ Jesus by grace through faith (1 Cor 1:30).
       Neither is this judgment to weigh the number of good works over
       against the bad works to see whether on balance a person was
       good or bad.
       Rather, the fire at this judgment will “try every man’s work of
       what sort it is” (1 Cor 3:13). The sort of work that endures is
       that which builds and edifies the body of Christ according to
       the Pauline pattern.
       The sort of work that is lost to the fire is that which is not
       edifying to the body of Christ.
       Good work is worthy of a reward. Bad work will not remain.
       Conclusion
       Do you see how important it is to know the will of God, the
       mystery of Christ, and how to rightly divide the word of truth?
       Without understanding God’s will, we do not know how to build
       according to plan. Our effort in service will be in vain.
       All of our study is for the purpose of pleasing God by the sort
       of work that will survive the judgment seat of Christ (1 Thess
       4:1; Eph 1:5; Eph 2:10). Any lower standard for ministry is
       vanity.
       “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth
       not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” – 2
       Timothy 2:15
       The reason we study is not to be right, but to build right. Not
       building at all is the same as building wrong. It will not last.
       “Every man’s work shall be made manifest …” – 1 Corinthians 3:13

       [color=black][color=white]Is Right Division Really That
       Important?[/color][/color]
  HTML http://graceambassadors.com/midacts/is-right-division-really-that-important
       By Justin Johnson
       We all know when we have reached a controversial topic, because
       no one wants to talk about it. For the sake of ‘keeping the
       church together’ and ‘eliminating unneeded division’ self
       proclaimed Christians will try to squelch the teaching of
       dispensational right division by making it seem unimportant.
       Have you ever heard it said, ‘your majoring in the minors’. Or
       perhaps, ‘your straining at a gnat’, is more familiar. A
       contemporary response goes like this: ‘In essentials unity; in
       non-essentials liberty; in all things love.’ What does that
       mean, anyway? Where in the Bible does God list the essentials?
       Why is it loving to gloss over doctrinal division and steer away
       from serious discussion?
       Doesn’t Paul say that we receive liberty through the gospel of
       Christ (Gal 2:4-5)? Is the gospel a non-essential? Where it is
       commonplace to be doctrinally apathetic and biblically ignorant,
       we are bombarded with the influence of disregarding the
       revelation of the mystery as trivial. Is it true? Not in the
       least!
       More Important than Salvation
       There is no more important thing a soul can do than come to a
       knowledge of the saving grace of God demonstrated on the cross
       through Christ. In this aspect, the understanding of the
       revelation of the mystery is the message through which souls are
       saved. Ignorance of dispensational right division comes at the
       risk of eternal damnation.
       No where else in scripture do we find the gospel for today, the
       gospel of the grace of God, other than in the revelation of God
       to our dispensational pattern. Through Paul, Jesus first
       revealed the meaning and the purpose of his shed blood for all
       men. Not of our works, but by faith we are justified by the
       death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
       The glory of this truth ‘kept secret since the world began’ is
       muddled by erroneously combining it with what God has purposely
       divided. When teachers of scripture do not rightly divide
       between what is prophetic and what is the revelation of the
       mystery they are at risk of blurring or losing the efficacy of
       the power of God unto salvation.
       Though many people have been saved by well meaning people who
       are ignorant of Paul’s apostleship, it is not because they
       trusted in another gospel. They are saved despite their exposure
       to improper biblical workmanship.
       Unfortunately many others are deluded by ministers who are also
       blind to the truth, preaching Jesus, but not according to the
       revelation of the mystery (Rom 16:25). They instead preach
       another Jesus according to the flesh (2 Cor 5:16). As a result
       they are trusting in their water baptism, or their good works,
       or their obedience to the words of Jesus during his earthly
       ministry when he was a minister of the circumcision:
       “Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision
       for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the
       fathers:” – Romans 15:8
       Stunted Spiritual Growth
       Despite the unclear gospel presentations, there are those who
       hear the gospel, and by faith believe it and are saved. However,
       continued subjection to teaching disparate of dispensational
       right division will stunt spiritual growth.
       It is no wonder that we experience a drought of true
       spirituality if at the source we are not established according
       to the teaching of Jesus Christ according to the revelation of
       the mystery.
       “Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my
       gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the
       revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world
       began, …” – Rom 16:25
       Instead, members of the body of Christ are weak, frail, and
       useless against the ‘body of this death’ and ‘this present evil
       world’ (Rom 7:24, Gal 1:4). As a result, we have turned to pop
       psychology and motivational speakers as substitutes for the
       indwelling of the Holy Spirit who is able to teach us from the
       word of God rightly divided (1 Cor 2:10-13).
       By relinquishing the teaching of dispensational right division
       to the scrap heap of ‘petty doctrines’, we are spoiling those
       who would thrive in the protected soil of sound doctrine.
       Essentials unity; non-essentials liberty; in all things love
       Silencing the teaching of dispensational right division is the
       cause of unclear gospel presentations and stunted spiritual
       growth as well as being the single most harmful attack against
       those who desperately need salvation.
       While it is far easier to assume that standing for
       dispensational right division is non-essential, the truth of God
       says that without this message the cross of Christ would’ve been
       a shameful defeat (1 Cor 2:7-8). The dispensation committed unto
       Paul is the manifold wisdom of God and can not be more essential
       to our salvation!
       Paul speaks of unifying the body of Christ in Ephesians 4:3
       after he explains the dispensation of God committed to him in
       chapter 3. He defends unity when it is not ‘contrary to that
       which ye have learned’ (Rom 16:17).
       Christ gave us liberty through the gospel for our salvation, not
       as an excuse to ignore ‘non-essential’ Biblical discussion.
       Instead of using our liberty to be complacent towards doctrinal
       discussion, we are charged to ‘stand fast’ in it, and not to
       ‘give place by subjection, not for an hour’.
       We are subject to the word of truth rightly divided, and there
       we stand in Christ.
       “Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this
       grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the
       unsearchable riches of Christ; And to make all men see what is
       the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the
       world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus
       Christ:” – Ephesians 3:8-9

       [color=black][color=white]Sin and Your Identity in
       Christ[/color]
       [/color]
  HTML http://graceambassadors.com/life/sin-and-your-identity-in-christ
       By Justin Johnson
       There are tremendous doctrines about who I am in Christ found in
       Romans chapter six. These identity doctrines deliver you from
       the power of sin and death.
       Missing these important identification truths produces a variety
       of doctrinal mistakes.
       My New Life in Christ
       Romans 6:3-4 describes that now we, that are saved, are
       identified with Christ.
       The old man, though present every morning in my flesh, is to be
       reckoned dead (Rom 6:6, 11).
       This teaches that the judgment and sentence of my old man is
       already complete.
       No longer am I trying to make it look better than what it was,
       nor am I letting it walk around with impunity. It is nailed to
       Calvary’s cross.
       There is now no eternal connection between me and my old man in
       Adam (Col 2:11).
       I am not merely destined to die then face a judgment unto
       condemnation and death. I am now destined to live in the
       resurrection of Christ (Rom 6:8).
       Freedom from Sin and Death
       As a result, sin and death have no more rightful dominion over
       me (Rom 6:9, 14). The life I live now is the resurrected life of
       Christ in me, the hope of glory!
       Without power of dominion, sin cannot accuse me, condemn me,
       kill me, or make me subject to it any longer.
       It can taunt me like the unrepentant thief crucified next to
       Jesus, but it is already dead. The thief was nailed to a cross!
       When it tries to raise objections to the court, it cannot
       because the court is already dismissed and the bailiff has him
       on the electric chair. Anything he might say are seen as last
       words, and irrelevant to his sentence of death.
       Death cannot threaten me with its fear of judgment, for my old
       man has been judged and is dead. I am now alive in Christ.
       Silencing Sin and Death
       When these identity doctrines are neglected, then all of the
       gracious benefits we have in Christ are called into question.
       Sin will try to adjudicate over your eternal life by asking,
       “Can we lose our salvation when we sin?”
       Grace responds with, “Your testimony and authority is not valid
       in this court. The case has been closed. The old man is already
       dead. This new man is free from your accusations.”
       Death will try to object, “But sin must be judged and suffering
       must match the crime. He did not suffer!”
       Grace responds with, “This man is in Christ. Christ died unto
       sin once, and does not die anymore. You have no right to speak
       in this court seeing as this man is already dead and resurrected
       in Christ.”
       Neither sin nor death can do anything to change who you are in
       Christ, free from both.
       Identification Mistakes
       Those who think that the sin of their old man determines their
       destiny, direction, or duty have missed the doctrine of their
       identity with Christ, dead to sin.
       Those who think they must suffer even unto death for their sin
       do not understand who they are in Christ, where death has no
       dominion.
       In Christ, you can forget the daily re-crucifixion of Jesus in
       the Mass, flagellation, the works of penance, fasting, stair
       walking, stigmata, prayers of confession, and whatever other
       forms of suffering the old man tries to perform on itself to
       make a fair shew in the flesh.
       Pleas are no good to save the man that is already dead. These
       are all useless to rid you of your sins or your sin.
       Christ’s Work Against Sin
       Christ dealt with all your sin problems by the cross. This is
       what we mean when we say, “Christ did it all”.
       He did more than die a death in your place; he died so that in
       your place he could conquer death in resurrection.
       Do not forget what the Lord Jesus Christ did for you, he not
       only died for your sins, but he died unto sin for you.
       Thank God we are now no longer identified by our weak and
       useless, corrupt and sinful, old man, but are now identified
       with the Lord Jesus Christ and the reign of grace.

       Christ in You vs. You in Christ
  HTML http://graceambassadors.com/mystery/christ-in-you-vs-you-in-christ
       By Justin Johnson
       About those who are saved Paul says these two things: you are in
       Christ, and Christ is in you.
       “To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of
       this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the
       hope of glory: Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching
       every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect
       in Christ Jesus:” – Colossians 1:27-28
       The phrase “Christ in you” is found in Col 1:27, and in the next
       verse every man is presented perfect “in Christ Jesus” (Col
       1:28).
       What do these seemingly opposite but similar sounding statements
       mean?
       What’s the difference between ‘you in Christ’ and ‘Christ in
       you’? The difference is important to see as it concerns the very
       mystery of Christ.
       You in Christ
       You in Christ is where you are placed according to God’s
       purpose. Your position is in Christ.
       “And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in
       heavenly places in Christ Jesus” – Ephesians 2:6
       When you dwell in a house, you call it your house. Since you are
       placed into Christ, then Christ is yours, with the high calling,
       spiritual blessings, inheritance, and power that Christ
       possesses (Eph 1:18-21).
       The imputation of righteousness by faith is due to you being in
       Christ (2 Cor 5:21). It is his righteousness imputed to you.
       ‘You in Christ’ concerns you being in his body, the body of
       Christ.
       We are all put into one body by the Spirit (1 Cor 12:13), in a
       fellowship with Christ (Eph 3:9), when we trust the gospel of
       Christ. Christ has many members and we all are in him according
       to the mystery.
       “For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his
       bones.” – Ephesians 5:30
       It is the mystery of God’s will that eventually all things will
       be in Christ so that his power, blessings, and grace can be
       given to all things in him (Eph 1:10).
       Christ in You
       If you in Christ is where you are placed according to God’s
       purpose, then Christ in you is where he is placed according to
       God’s purpose.
       If all that is Christ’s belongs to you when you are in him, then
       all that is yours belongs to him when he is in you.
       You received Christ in you when you heard and trusted the gospel
       of Jesus Christ (Eph 1:13; Col 2:6).
       Paul prays that Christ may dwell in our hearts by faith (Eph
       3:17), and that we walk in him having received Christ in us (Col
       2:6).
       “But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that
       the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the
       Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. “ – Romans 8:9
       If ‘you in Christ’ is about His body, then ‘Christ in you’ is
       about your body. Your members are now his (Rom 6:13; 1 Cor
       6:19-20).
       What drives a man is what is inside him. Faith resides in the
       inner man. The Spirit of Christ dwells in you (Rom 8:9). When
       your flesh fails, it is the power of Christ that rests upon you
       (2 Cor 12:9).
       ‘You in Christ’ concerns what Christ does toward you, ‘Christ in
       you’ is what Christ performs in you and through you.
       A Great Mystery
       Upon salvation we are not only moved to a new place in Christ as
       a new creature, but we are changed from the inside out with
       Christ in us.
       We are not placed into Israel, covenant, nor into a religion,
       but into Christ! ,,, and there by grace.
       What is put in us is not the law in our heart, the power of
       positive thinking, nor the hope of feelings and healing, but
       Christ! …and Him by faith.
       This is the great mystery of Christ and the church. It is our
       job to come to a knowledge of it, and to make all men see it.
       “This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the
       church.” – Ephesians 5:32

       [color=white]It’s Raining Holy Spirit[/color]
  HTML http://graceambassadors.com/spirit/its-raining-holy-spirit
       By Justin Johnson
       “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit
       of God dwelleth in you?” – 1 Corinthians 3:16
       Charismatic Lanny Wolfe wrote in a popular hymn that “surely the
       presence of the Lord is in this place”, because “I can feel the
       brush of angels wings”, and “I feel that same sweet Spirit.”
       Sometimes people describe the Spirit dwelling in them like a
       pregnant woman does her baby: “he moved inside me”; but God
       never says we would feel the Holy Spirit in us.
       Even so, it is the lack of a feeling that often prompts prayers
       for him to rain on us and to come into our presence, our house,
       and flood us with emotion.
       Perhaps the fear is that the Holy Ghost in us gets stale like an
       old bottle of root beer. There just isn’t any fizz after a while
       and it needs a good shake.
       Of course this is nonsense, but it does not prevent prayers to
       call the Spirit down upon us like rain when people want to “feel
       his mighty power”.
       A popular Roman Catholic prayer, Come, Holy Spirit, asks the
       Holy Spirit to come and “kindle a fire” in the faithful.
       Pentecostals are inclined to pray on any given Sunday for the
       Holy Spirit to “come on down” like a religious Price is Right.
       “Calling down”, “welcoming”, “tarrying”, and “praying to send
       the Spirit” are all appeals that have been made in church
       buildings in anticipation that the Spirit would “fill this
       place”.
       To all these prayers perhaps the apostle Paul would respond
       with:
       “What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy
       Ghost which is in you…?” – 1 Corinthians 6:19
       The Spirit In You
       There is no reason why anyone who knows 1 Cor 3:16 and 1 Cor
       6:19 should ask for the Holy Spirit to come on them when Paul
       plainly says the Spirit is already present in everyone that
       believes the gospel of salvation.
       While most of Christianity pleads “Come, Holy Spirit”, perhaps
       we should be thankful that he stays where he’s at by God’s
       grace. As our ever present seal of salvation he doesn’t need to
       move anywhere.
       “… in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that
       holy Spirit of promise,” – Eph 1:13
       If the Spirit dwells in us then he does not need to come down
       like he did at Pentecost on covenant Israel. Neither does he
       need to find his place in us repeatedly every new Sunday as if
       the the first time was ineffectual.
       The Holy Spirit must slide off like water off a duck’s back if
       continual prayers are needed for him to be “poured out like
       rain”.
       Instead, we need to recognize that he is present every waking
       (and sleeping) moment of our lives in Christ (Rom 8:9). Paul
       presents this truth as one very good reason why the Corinthians
       should shape up their behavior.
       Could it be that the wrong doctrine of a distant Spirit that
       needs to be invited into church meetings is what produces poor
       manners in many charismatic meetings?
       “Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.” – 1
       Cor 15:33
       If you are in the body of Christ, the Spirit dwells in you. What
       a grievance it must be for the Spirit among so many ignorant
       Christians who pray for him to “Come” when he dwells in every
       member of the body of Christ, that is, if they have indeed heard
       and believed the word of truth.

       The Formula for Experiencing God
  HTML http://graceambassadors.com/life/formula-for-experiencing-god
       By Justin Johnson
       Everyone has emotions. Even people who appear emotionless have
       emotions. Emotions are what we feel. They are generated by our
       bodily senses interacting with everyday circumstances.
       It is easy to manipulate our emotions based on our
       circumstances. Entertainers know how to do this with lighting,
       music, and smells. This is why our feelings cannot be trusted.
       They are circumstantial.
       Unfortunately, it is easy to confuse our emotions with
       spirituality. The outcome is a pseudo-experience that is
       generated through soft music, dim lighting, and sweet words.
       This is not experiencing God. This is emotional manipulation of
       the same sort that the world experiences in music concerts or in
       the movies.
       This has become so common in churches that the goal of gathering
       together is to “feel the Spirit move” and “feel the power of
       God”.
       The counterpart to emotion is doctrine: what we know. We may
       feel a certain way, but if we know something else then our
       experience can change.
       This is how truth works. We feel one way; truth tells us
       something else. If we believe the truth, our life experience is
       changed.
       Paul describes this in Romans 5:2-4. Naturally tribulation is a
       bad thing that produces bad experiences.
       But when the doctrine of Romans 5:1 and 2 are applied to the bad
       circumstance then we gain a beneficial experience that we can
       glory in.
       “And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing
       that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and
       experience, hope:” – Romans 5:3-4
       Our emotion changes from distress to hope!
       Sound doctrine from the Bible rightly divided is vitally
       important for you to experience the life-changing work of God in
       your life. Without it, we are simply following our
       circumstances, slaves to our emotions and our flesh.
       Churches are filled with people with little to no doctrinal
       understanding. It is even worse when they have a wrong doctrinal
       understanding. As a result, the only way to generate the joy,
       hope, and love that the Bible talks about is with better
       musicians, more intimate lyrics, and more visual effects.
       There is a better way.
       The formula for experiencing God is as simple as applying sound
       doctrine to the circumstances of our lives. When this happens we
       will experience God and generate emotions that are subject to
       our mind in Christ.
       For you mathematical wizards here is a formula:
       Doctrine + Circumstance = Experience + Emotion
       Do your homework! (2 Tim 2:15)
