This signifies the new birth, a work of God that marks every child of God.

Revealing the New Testament Heart Circumcision!
What does circumcision signify for New Testament Christians? While salvation is not through circumcision or the law, Romans 2 reveals its New Testament counterpart: the new birth.

Trying the Spirits | 1 John 4:1-6
You may think I’m making that up, but I’ve seen this—where well-meaning preachers will tell people who have already believed in Him, who have been believing in Him for some time, that they almost have to go through a sort of, uh, official transactional act of "accepting Him," as if they're officially taking possession of Him or something. When they’ve already been believing that He’s the Christ, that He died for their sins, that He is the Son of God, etc., they’re pressured to "accept Him" to be genuinely saved individuals—despite the fact they’re already believers. But Scripture simply gives believers the assurance. It doesn’t say, “For God so loved the world that whosoever goes through the transaction of accepting Him and officially getting saved after believing.” It simply says, “Whosoever believeth.” And again, they believe because they’re born of the Spirit of God. And if they’re born of the Spirit of God, they’re saved. #BiblicalAssurance #SalvationByFaith #BornOfTheSpirit #ChristianTeaching #GospelTruth #BeliefInChrist #FaithNotWorks #BiblicalWisdom #WordsOfGrace #ChristianLiving #ScripturalTruth #ChristianRadio #Preaching #Sermon
Do Existing Believers Really Need To "Accept" Christ for Salvation, Or Are They Already Saved? 🤔✝️
Can our personal behavior hinder our prayers? According to the Bible, absolutely! Join us for this episode of Words of Grace, as we explore the biblical link between obedience and answered prayers, as found in 1 John 3:20-24!

Obedience and Answered Prayers
If they were born again, there was something about the way He spoke—even if they couldn't articulate it—their hearts burned within them. Why? Because that is Jesus speaking to them. That new nature in them is hungry for that, and so it speaks to something that is within them. That's what happens when a person hears the gospel and, in this sense, receives Christ. They believe on Him, and that's what Paul is talking about here. Well, here's the admonition: If you believe in Jesus, walk in Him. Obey Him. Keep His commandments. Live for Him. Worship Him. Preach Him. Love Him. Let your life reflect what you have in the Lord Jesus Christ. Or, as Paul said in the other passage we just read: If you are risen with Him—that is to say, born again, raised from death and sin to life in Christ—seek those things which are above. #BornAgain #NewLifeInChrist #WalkInHim #FaithfulLiving #ChristianTeaching #GospelTruth #ObedienceToGod #PreachChrist #BiblicalWisdom #WordsOfGrace #ChristianLiving #LoveJesus #SeekThingsAbove #ChristianRadio #Preaching #Sermon
Living Faithfully: The Call to Walk in Christ
What would grow in that field was through hard work and dedication—in bright, hot sunlight, in the wind, and in the rain. When you plow, and you grow, and when you come to reap, look at Leviticus chapter 19: "When you reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest. Thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather every grape of the vineyard. Thou shalt leave them for the poor and the stranger. I am the Lord your God." And I love that He puts that on there, because the reaction is, “Well, who do you think you’re telling me? Who do you think you are to tell me to do that, Moses?” No, no, no, no. “I am the Lord your God. I’m God, and I’m telling you to do it, so do it.” They were not allowed to harvest the corners of their field. Why? So the poor and the stranger could come, take what they need from that corner, and go back home to eat, so they’re not starving to death. #BiblicalCompassion #HelpingThePoor #Leviticus19 #GodsCommands #FaithfulLiving #ChristianTeaching #BiblicalTruth #LoveInAction #WordsOfGrace #ChristianLiving #Charity #GodsWill #ChristianRadio #Preaching #Sermon

Who were the first on the ground after those tornadoes desecrated Appalachia? Christians. Organizations like Samaritan’s Purse and other local Christian associations all jumped into action. Before the government even knew what was happening—when they were still twiddling their thumbs, like, “We’re on vacation. Wait, there was a storm? What storm?”—Christians were on the ground, giving people food, helicoptering people in and out off of their roofs. And God was what in all of that? He was glorified. And it’s amazing to see. It’s beautiful. It is so beautiful. #FaithInAction #ChristianCharity #HelpingOthers #SamaritansPurse #DisasterRelief #ChristianLiving #GodIsGlorified #BiblicalCompassion #ChristianTeaching #WordsOfGrace #LoveInAction #FaithfulLiving #ChristianRadio #Preaching #Sermon #helene
Christians Are To Rush In When Disasters Strike!
Now let me just tell you—it is more important than ever for us to be people who walk in love. Because the world around us is growing more dark, more hostile, more angry, more bitter, and more venomous. If I open my mouth, and out of the abundance of my heart I speak, and what comes out of my mouth are words of cruelty, judgment, and anger, it’s because the world rubs off on us. It’s so important for us today to be conscious. Because the world is so angry, even if you’re not angry, when you walk around that smoke, you’re going to start smelling like it too. It’s going to have an effect on you. And so, it’s so important to emphasize this today. #WalkInLove #ChristianLiving #FaithOverFear #LoveLikeJesus #BiblicalWisdom #SpiritualGrowth #KindnessMatters #GuardYourHeart #ChristianTeaching #WordsOfGrace #SpeakLife #FaithfulLiving #ChristianRadio #Preaching #Sermon #Christianity
Walk in Love: Defying Anger in Today's World
They were not too worked. Their farmland, every 7th year, was supposed to be left uncultivated. It grew there because a seed landed there. You know what happens to that fallow ground? Even though they don't plant there, because they're harvesting there every year, you still get produce growing. And so, He says, "Every 7th year, don't you grow on that land. You let it sit there." For whose benefit? For the poor. So they can walk through, glean, and eat. Time wouldn’t allow me to talk about how He hates when the princes of Israel and those with power so inflated their prices that it caused mass poverty in the Old Testament. The Minor Prophets hammer people for that. God has opinions about this, and He is right. I say opinions—these are His laws, His commands, His will. #BibleTeaching #OldTestament #SabbathYear #GodsLaw #Charity #HelpingThePoor #FallowGround #BiblicalJustice #MinorProphets #FaithfulLiving #Christianity #ChristianTeaching #WordsOfGrace #GodsCommands #BiblicalTruth #ChristianRadio #Preaching #Sermon

Obedience and Answered Prayers | 1 John 3:20-24
At the very heart of the Gospel is love—the love that moved God to act. John 3:16 reminds us that "God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." This divine love drove God to enter the world, bearing our sins to bring us eternal life. But love doesn’t stop there. It calls us to serve, especially our brothers and sisters in Christ. When we’re truly moved by love, it’s not a feeling we keep to ourselves; it’s a call to action. #GospelMessage, #John316, #GodsLove, #ChristianService, #FaithInAction, #LoveInAction, #EverlastingLife, #ServeOneAnother, #JesusSacrifice, #LoveLikeJesus, #christianradio, #preaching, #sermon

In The Christian Response to Persecution, Ben Winslett explores how believers are called to handle adversity for their faith. Reflecting on John 15, Ben discusses the world’s rejection of Christ and, therefore, of those who follow Him. He shares Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 5 about rejoicing in persecution, then outlines four essential principles for handling trials: forgiving others, seeking justice in appropriate ways, responding with boldness, and ultimately striving to glorify God in every circumstance. Tune in to this episode of Words of Grace for encouragement and guidance on standing firm in faith amid adversity!

The Christian Response to Persecution
Notice here in Philippians chapter 3 that we are ‘the circumcision, which worship God in spirit and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.’ The point in this passage is to contrast those of the circumcision of the heart with those of the circumcision of the flesh. This is the typical kind of juxtaposition Paul often used, as he would contrast unbelieving Jews who held to the Old Testament but rejected Christ with New Testament Christians—many of whom were Jewish by ethnicity and lineage. He actually refers to them in the previous verse as ‘the concision,’ and so he contrasts the concision with the circumcision, which worships Christ. This is to say, the circumcision of the heart by the Spirit and not by the letter, as he would say in the book of Romans, chapter 2. #TrueWorship #CircumcisionOfTheHeart #Philippians3 #SpiritLedWorship #ContrastInFaith #ApostlePaul #FaithInChrist #HeartNotFlesh #ChristianIdentity #BiblicalTeaching #SpiritualGrowth #Romans2 #NewCovenantFaith #ChristianDoctrine #FaithfulLiving #WorshipInSpirit #BeliefInChrist #WordsOfGrace #PaulineEpistles #BiblicalContrast #ChristianHeritage #LivingByFaith #FaithOverLaw #ChristCenteredLife #ScriptureStudy #UnderstandingPaul #ChristianEthnicity #WorshipInChrist #FaithJourney #SpiritualIdentity
Circumcision of the Heart: A Spiritual Awakening
Now, I know there's a place for reproving, rebuking, and exhorting, and those are things we are commanded to do. Paul didn’t write every one of his epistles as fluffy, butterfly-and-flower-filled statements of encouragement. Sometimes he had to write very powerful rebukes to the congregations he addressed. But remember that this is a religion of joy. It’s a religion of peace. It’s a religion of burdens being relieved and yokes of bondage being taken off. We, then, ought to be ministers who cause God’s people to rejoice. And God’s people ought to understand that rejoicing is a good thing. We don’t need to be melancholy, unhappy, cynical, paranoid curmudgeons! #FaithOfJoy #ReligionOfPeace #ChristianEncouragement #BeJoyful #ChristianMinistry #UpliftingFaith #RejoiceInTheLord #PeaceInChrist #FaithNotBondage #FreedomInFaith #ChristianLiving #WordsOfGrace #BurdensLifted #FindingPeaceInChrist #ChristianJoy #EncourageOneAnother #JoyfulReligion #FaithFilledLife #HopeInChrist #LivingInGrace #FaithOverFear #NoToCynicism #ChristianValues #GraceAndPeace #PeacefulFaith #RejoiceAlways #MinistryOfJoy #ChristianTeachings #EncouragementInChrist #PowerOfFaith
