Comment by PoiemaDei on January 6, 2009 at 11:46pm: Well, we are moving on as we explore the role of grace in our Christian walk. We want to take it slowly and step and by step. Because of the significance of the inheritance of spiritual death by every human being born into this world for the appreciation of the need of the grace of God to bring us to life in Christ, we will examine spiritual death in some detail. So our next message will be "The Body of this Death" based on Romans 7. God bless you. Thanks for your comments - some privately to my mail box and others publicly on the site. They are very encouraging. I am praying for each of you continually.

Comment by PoiemaDei on January 5, 2009 at 5:26pm: Our focus on this new discussion, Mankind's Need of Grace, is the extent to which the nature with which every human being is born into this world makes it necessary for God to deal with mankind by grace at salvation. Man's human nature is described in the Bible to be spiritually dead. Indeed, the Holy Spirit knows what death is. Thus man's original condition of death makes it impossible for human beings to make any spiritual contribution to their salvation. The more you ponder on this truth, the more it generates true humility and gratitude to God for His amazing grace that brought you salvation. Self-righteousness vanishes and you glory only in the Cross of Christ as the virtual life-line of grace for your salvation.

Comment by Wally on January 5, 2009 at 4:14pm: PoemiaDei had suggested that I leave this comment, which I had sent to him earlier, as an encouragement to others. If my struggles will serve to help someone else I am glad to leave the comment.
"Thank your for your invitation and prayers. The spiritual renewal in my life has been a long time coming and it is good to know there are people praying for me. I have been seeing a Christian counselor for about 5 months and he has been helping me understand the grace God freely gives. It is hard to believe that in 50 years I never understood this gift. I have burdened myself with guilt and doubts for years over sin from my teens and early 20's which led to doubts about God and his forgiveness. This self hate and doubt has led to more sin and trouble during my life as well as negatively effecting my marriage. Through counseling I am coming to accept this Grace, accept God's forgiveness and forgive myself, though I still go through times of doubt and and wonder how God can love me after all the hurt I have caused Him and others. Thank you for your prayer. Grace and Peace to you through our Lord Jesus. Wally"

Comment by PoiemaDei on January 5, 2009 at 8:19am: Thanks for those comments. They are a blessing to all of us in the group. Keep them coming.

The subject of our next discussion will be posted soon on the topic Mankind's Need of Grace. In it we will examine the reason why mankind can only be ministered to by God by grace.

As we continue to explore this wonderful and amazing subject of Grace here in this group, keep in mind this acronym (thanks, Bob, for it): G-R-A-C-E - God's Riches At Christ's Expense!

God bless you. I am praying for each one of you.
