I teach on Facebook & my sermons are also on demand also! By looking in my past, I found that John Calvin and Martin Luther and so many other theologians of the 1500's,1600's and up to the present day have progressed in magnificent ways, as we have learned that faith is the vehicle through which grace abounds to the church. Having been introduced to the theology of both Cessationists and Continuat
ionists, I find myself always referring to I John 5:9-10.... If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.
10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. If you interpret everything in the New Testament in the dim 'light' of the Old Testament, then you have extremely stunted, and very limited understanding in terms of identifying what Jesus said regarding Himself and our Heavenly Father, and what grace is. If you compare everything in the Old Testament in the 'light' of the New Testament, and how the covenant of the New Testament reveals a grace undeserved and unexpected that Jesus presented, then you can begin to see things from an entirely different vantage point and perspective. That opens up the doors, deep and wide, to see Jesus as our substitute for our sins, our redeemer for a price we could never pay, and our Savior forever, from an eternal death that no one can avoid without having our faith and trust in Him. What Jesus did 1) was and is totally for us, 2) to please our Heavenly Father, and 3) for all mankind who dare to believe He will always confirm that He is Messiah. His act on the cross and resurrection broke the power of the act of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.
