2Cor. 5:15 He died for everyone so that those who receive His new life will no longer live for themselves. Instead, they will live for Christ, who died and was raised for them.
2Cor. 5:17 This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!
1Jn 2:15-7 - Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. 16 For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world. 17 And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.
Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will
grow into a full experience of salvation. Cry out for this nourishment, (1 P.2:2)
Personal relationship with God through the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ results in New Life. This New Life is God authored and with it comes the awesome spiritual potential of Christlikeness.
God was with the children of Israel finally entered the Promised Land and took possession of it. In fact He made it happen for them, however He didn't do it without their personal cooperation. It was something they did together. The same
holds true for the New Covenant Believers.
To enter and possess the promised land of Christlikeness requires our cooperation. There specific spiritual priorities that need to be in place in order for God's perfect will to be accomplished in and through our life. In this Study we'll be discovering what some of these priorities are and how we can have them applied in our life today.
The salvation experience of being "Born Again" by the power of God is a vital experience and one initiated by the Lord Himself. The purpose for Jesus' sacrificial death on the cross was to purchase the right to liberate and set us free from the penalties and the power of sin.
To be genuinely "Born of the Spirit of God" is
to have received forgiveness sins and a new spiritual life. This new life is energized by the Holy Spirit who has taken up residence within the heart (spirit) of the Believer.
In this Study we will be discovering the basics
of what God envisions for every New Covenant Believer. We will find our new position in Christ and our spiritual potential.
God, by His very nature, is different than the people of earth. This is not only evident from the Scriptures but also through the life of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Jesus' life was different in that He always did those things that pleased the Father. He was tempted to sin but proved to be sinless. He lived as the head and not the tail. He lived above only and not beneath the beggarly elements of this world.
The same Spirit that caused Jesus to live a victorious life here on earth now resides within the Believer purposing to empower them to live as Jesus did. In this Study we'll be discovering God's nature and how we can personally experience it today.

Clearly God's plan of salvation through the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ transcends the present temporal world, it does however fully embrace a Spirit filled life in the "here and now".
A personal and intimate relationship with Jesus is relevant and extremely beneficial right now. God has given His people divine destiny of which we enter into and participate in now.
In this Study we will be considering our present spiritual destiny, what we should anticipate and how God has purposed that every Believer experience His power transforming them into the image of Christ. God has given incredible potential for us through the Lord Jesus Christ.
Presently there are two spiritual forces and two spiritual kingdoms active on earth. People are either in one or the other and being influenced by either one or the other.
Born Again Believers have been given "New Life" and are spiritually repositioned. They are taken
out of Satan's kingdom of darkness and placed into Christ's Kingdom of light.
For the genuine Believer life in the Kingdom of light differs from that of life in the kingdom of darkness and as result there are spiritual conflicts that effect and purpose to challenge our purposed intentions of honoring and glorifying Jesus by holy living.
In this Study we'll be discovering the conflict between the two kingdoms and how we can discern between them and glorify the Lord.
With New Life comes a new enemy, the devil. Prior to being Born Again by the power of God Satan is our lord not our enemy. That suddenly changes when a person receives Jesus Christ into their life as personal Lord and Savor.
As a result of having the devil as an enemy instead of a friend there are spiritual battles that will be experienced. These battles are fought against spiritual forces and in order to be victorious we need the right equipment, strategy and tactics.
God has given His people powerful and extremely effective weapons. In this Study we'll be discovering what they are and how we should be using them. We have been promised victory!

With New Life in Christ comes a new journey.
A journey which, by the grace and power of
God leads from a life dominated by the sin nature into a life dominated by the new life,
birthed in the Believer when "Born Again" by
the power of God's Holy Spirit.
This spiritual journey is both dynamic as well as dramatic. Along the pathway of righteousness which leads us closer in likeness and fellowship with Christ there are some uphill and grinding times to be experienced. It requires faith, focus and determination in order for the journey to be completed in a way that thrills the heart of God.
This Study investigates the attitude required to complete and finish well in the spiritual race of
a life time. There are certain disciples required.
Prior to being "Born Again" by the Holy Spirit the fallen human nature is in full blown rebellion against God. The human nature is totally incapable of loving God in away that is meaningful as well as completely acceptable to Him.
A genuine salvation experience results in a new nature being birthed in the human heart (spirit) This nature, this new person, this completely new creation of God has the capacity and capability through the power of the Spirit of Christ to live in away that pleases God.
To love God is to please God! To please God is to love God. This Study investigates the believes capacity to love Lord and serve Him faithfully with the divine love which is placed in our heart.
