"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a New Creature?" - Ralph Yankee Arnold 

I hope your walk with the Lord is still going well!!

Hey Kelly, hope you are doing good. I just wanted to share some things I've been seeing in the word lately. This is amazing truth. Please let me know your thoughts about it... The writer of Hebrews said that Christ died *FOR THE SINS COMMITTED UNDER THE FIRST COVENANT.* We were not under the first Covenant. Hebrews 9:15 ...For Christ died to set *THEM* free from the penalty of the sins *THEY had committed UNDER THAT FIRST COVENANT.* We did not commit sins under that first Covenant. Also...Jesus said... He was *ONLY* sent to the lost sheep of the house of Isreal. That is not us. Matthew 15:24 But He answered and said, *"I was sent ONLY to the lost sheep of the house of Isreal."* It's all about ISRAEL... not us. Also... Paul said... *Jesus was sent TO REDEEM THOSE WHO WERE UNDER THE LAW.* Galatians 4:4-5 4But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, *BORN UNDER THE LAW, 5So that He might REDEEM THOSE WHO WERE UNDER THE LAW...* We were never under the law. Psalm 147:19-20 *19He declares His word to Jacob, His statutes and judgments to Israel.* 20He has done this for *NO OTHER NATION;* they do not know His judgments Hallelujah! The second Covenant was ONLY for the ones under the first Covenant, those under the law. Did you catch that? The second Covenant was ONLY for the ones under the first Covenant, those under the law. That would be Israel. Only Israel was under the law. Hebrews 8:10 For this is the *COVENANT* that I will make *WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL...* We were never under a Covenant at all. This is fantastic news for us. God's love, mercy and grace is much greater than we ever thought possible. I believe the Parable of the lost sheep is a picture of God's love for ALL people ever created. The house of Isreal represents the one lost sheep. They were the ONLY ONES that needed to be redeemed from the curse of being under the first Covenant law. *That's why Jesus said He was ONLY sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.* God agreed to impute Israel's sin to THEM under that Old Covenant. Then He Himself paid the debt THEY incurred under that Covenant. Romans 5:13 For until the law sin was in the world: *BUT SIN IS NOT IMPUTED WHEN THERE IS NO LAW.* Romans 4:8 Blessed is the man to whom the *LORD WILL NOT IMPUTE SIN.* *We are blessed because we are not under the law and our sin is not imputed to us!* Never has been and never will be! Praise the Lord! *I truly believe that God's love, mercy and grace is much bigger than we ever thought possible!* *Nobody's sin today is being imputed to them!* That is amazing news! Praise the Lord! What do you think Kelly? Let me know.

We arent born again. New creatures aren't born again.

@@BrownBrown270 You become a new creature by being born again.

Thanks for the comment, hope you are doing good. I just wanted to share some things I've been seeing in the word lately. This is amazing truth. Let me know your thoughts about it...

Matthew 15:24 But He answered and said, *"I was sent ONLY to the lost sheep of the house of Isreal."* Acts 5:31 He is the one whom God exalted to His right hand as a Prince and a Savior, *TO GRANT REPENTANCE to ISRAEL, and FORGIVENESS of SINS.* It's all about ISRAEL... not us. Also... Paul said... *Jesus was sent TO REDEEM THOSE WHO WERE UNDER THE LAW.* Galatians 4:4-5 4But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, *BORN UNDER THE LAW, 5So that He might REDEEM THOSE WHO WERE UNDER THE LAW...* We were never under the law. Romans 3:19 Now we know that whatever the law says, *IT SAYS TO THOSE WHO ARE UNDER THE LAW...* Psalm 147:19-20 19He declares His word to *JACOB,* His statutes and judgments to *ISRAEL.* 20He has done this for *NO OTHER NATION;* they do not know His judgments Hallelujah! Amos 3:1-2 *1People of ISRAEL,* I rescued you from Egypt. Now listen to my judgment against you. 2 Of all NATIONS on earth, *you are the ONLY ONE I HAVE CHOSEN. THAT'S WHY I will punish YOU because of YOUR sins.* The second Covenant was ONLY for the ones under the first Covenant, those under the law. That would be Israel. Only Israel was under the law.

The house of Isreal represents the one lost sheep. They were the ONLY ONES that needed to be redeemed from the curse of being under the first Covenant law. Luke 19:10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save *THAT WHICH WAS LOST.* Apparently not ALL were lost, right? *That's why Jesus said He was ONLY sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.* Amos 3:1-2 *1People of ISRAEL,* I rescued you from Egypt. Now listen to my judgment against you. 2 Of all NATIONS on earth, *you are the ONLY ONE I HAVE CHOSEN.

What do you think? Let me know.

According to the Bible God's grace overcomes sin, and overcomes the world. So let us just get something clear, you do not have God's grace, because you are a sinner, are entangled by your sin, and have not overcame the world. You do not know God, neither have heard of Him. 1 John 3:6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. 1 John 2:6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. Titus 2:11-12 "For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;" The grace of God overcomes sin, and overcomes the lusts of the flesh! According to the Bible. So we are saved based on our ability to obey God's word, and overcome sin. The grace of God denies ungodliness, worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world. (Those things which you are not doing.) Therefore, do not have God's grace, do not know God, and therefore, aren't saved.

Abundant Biblical Truth So based off of your last two paragraphs, please tell me exactly how 'good' you have to be to enter heaven and how many sins you have to overcome? Please be specific. I need numbers as general statements won't cut it. Thanks.

I accept Jesus Christ as my savior

I do wrong all the time

@@abundantbiblicaltruth1230 you sound like a macarthurite heretic.

How much fruit? All the nine fruits (Galatians 5:22)? Or is seven fruits enough? Or eight? Do we need to bear all the nine fruits? I bear eight fruits of the nine. Missed one. Am I a true christian? Say instead, "by my fruits they will know me."

Christopher Pacheco. You are referring to the “ dispensation of Law” in Matthew 7:21. You and I as born again believers are now in the “age of Grace”! We are no longer under rules and regulations because the law of God is written in our hearts. We have the Holy Spirit to guide us. If you are placing yourself under the law, you are still living in bondage tho you may be saved by Grace! Grace is God’s UNMERITED favor toward mankind. You cannot earn God’s favor by works; it is all of God’s Grace! When He hung on the Cross, Jesus Christ declared “ IT IS FINISHED”! All the work was done; now we are free to live by grace as led by His Spirit inside Him. If you question The Spirit’s presence inside you, there is a problem.

1. Those people mentioned were pointing to their works 2. John 6:40 - "For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day"

Because those people were counting on their works to get them to heaven. The will of the father is for those who will BELIEVE in his death, burial, and resurrection.

@@SalvationByGrace exactly! I've learned it has nothing to do with the holy spirit convicting me rather my own heart condemning me because I have also read and heard from the Bible that if we will correct the problem God wouldn't have to. I just read the other day I can't remember where where it says " and if our heart condemns us God is greater than our hearts"

Yeah he needs to explain this too is he want to use God's will ...Matthew 7:21 21Not every one that saith unto me, LORD, LORD, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Because a believer has two natures. The old nature isn’t done away with when you got saved. You get a NEW nature, a spiritual one, when you get saved.

I'm afraid it's still not working.

Salvation By Grace Hello! My pleasure. Thank you!

Salvation By Grace It's working just fine now.

Salvation By Grace can a trur christian feel comdemnation for sinning against faith like some habbit Or is that awareness mean he is unsaved. I have felt guilt over my habit for 20 years. I need to know as i want heaven If deceived i need to know I can't seem to have faith like when i first came to christ One more thing i came to christ with john 3 16 yet others say it can only be 1cor15 2-4. Please help.

Jesus said " I will have mercy and not sacrifice" trust me, you'll fit right in with Joel Olsteen and the rest of em

Romans chapter 9:30 read your word People

Romans 9: 32

Are YOU Holy?

Salvation By Grace, But if it’s impossible to know if anyone else is saved because you’re not God, that logically has to include your own salvation as well. You could deceive yourself, couldn’t you?

God’s word is our assurance. People need to understand the two natures. Our flesh will always sin, but our spirit cannot sin.

Heb. 11:6 Without faith it is IMPOSSIBLE to please GOD. Rom. 14:23 Whatsoever is NOT of faith is sin. Sin is the misuse of freedom. Faith is trusting in, and acting on, the promises of GOD. Dr. Ralph Yankee Arnold is accurately preaching the Word of GOD. Eternal Security + Assurance is the good news.

You clearly dont belive all sin was paid for on the cross.

@@hellbillyoutlaw8719obviously your understanding is very limited. it was all paid, but it did not mean you are eternally secured . Why would Jesus had to warn the disciples not to be deceived if they were eternally secured?

You're one of those heretics with low-iq and poor reading comprehension skills who reads scriptures out of context.
