No amounts of works can save anyone. No amount of independence can produce good works. Both the salvation and the good works of men are products of the grace of God.

When a divine order isn't followed, the needed results won't be seen. You can't use a natural order to get a divine result. The only way men will enter the kingdom is by faith in the gospel which is only possible by preaching. Preaching must remain the core focus of the church. That's the tool to get men saved.

The name of Jesus is the present moment possession of the believer. When we use the name changes occur.

The name of Jesus has become our personal possession to enforce the power of God upon circumstances. That name changed things.

God shouldn't take second place in our lives. We must make Him our priority. The cause of Christ must be hallowed in our hearts.

We must prioritize. Setting our priorities right will keep us in the path of God's purpose for us. When we are truly serving the Lord's cause we won't be distracted from it.

We must be conscious of the presence of God. Whenever fear creeps in we are losing consciousness of His presence. There's no fear with the presence of Jesus.

The central theme of the scripture is salvation. This can be seen both in the lives of men and events. Ephraim and Manasseh were teaching aids to show God's disposition towards man in salvation.

The power that produces is effected by faith. Faith is the capacity behind the word spoken that gives it force. It isn't about what was spoken but how it was spoken.

Our devotion to the gospel must attract opposition. It is a cause worthy of any form of resistance and persecution. Sticking with the truth of the gospel in every sanity and sanctity comes with a price.
