christianity is evidential in faith

Every person aligns with an authority and an associate power. It is reasonable no one is exempt from this. By Christian definition we may in Christ’s sovereignty  gain freedom rather than control, through faith in Him. Man is not neutral. The alternative position is a choice, man giving himself over to another power. That decision carries its own set of rules and experiences. Positions convince a man’s mind and body.

God’s begotten Son, in the flesh as Son of Man and with God prior to creation, in his prayers of loud cries and tears, knew it was only God who would deliver him from death after the Cross of crucifixion. This act was from one who had the power and authority to overcome death and all heavenly powers both righteous and wicked, on behalf of men. Knowing death for us by a sinless substitution and sacrifice of his own body, (sin cannot atone for itself) Jesus knew the full consequence of death. This is why the Church henceforth warns men of death and eternal judgement.

Death applies in both the physical and spiritual realm. God as highest authority has permitted man to be brought back to him, to his presence through the covering of the blood of Christ, being presented to Him without sin or continual memory of sin. All things will be made new, as we are at the assigned time provided new spiritual and physical bodies no longer subject to sin and death. As this great salvation is from God, Christ in obedience to God accomplished this purpose. It is not based on man’s mind or his works, any worldly ideology or method, rather by faith in Christ through God’s plan, whereby the Holy Spirit enables man to receive God’s faith as he approaches Him humbly and believes upon these matters. Our salvation is in agreement between God, Christ, and the eternal Holy Spirit. This covenant with man cannot be broken.

God’s mind, God’s way is above man’s comprehension. Through trust and faith in Christ, He provisions witness to His own Spirit and our Spirit, being “born anew” or “born again of spirit” in that same power that resurrected Christ from the dead. We are said to then have died or shared in that death of Christ which was on our behalf, and henceforth we are able to learn and experience Christ’s love. This is a spirit of truth and revelation. This is not a set of rules on how to be closer to God or love others from a humanistic point of view,  invasion of another entity we understand by testimony some have given themselves over to, a self-determined belief in the deity of one’s self and exploration of spiritual powers outside of Christ,  or an unproven theological system about what God supposedly wants to the detriment of individual lives. God is a God of grace and mercy. His yoke is not heavy.

There are many forces and powers that mimic truth, light, and love. There is no neutral position for man. He has choice in giving himself over to other powers, or to God. Through Christ, God will “wrap up” these other powers in a final and determined time. Christ is not an angel as some would teach and ask submission to, but a Son. Therefore he is a real high priest on our behalf, calling us brothers, not servants. Once we accept Christ we receive a renewal in the Holy Spirit and enter into a journey of His faith. We will be raised with new eternal bodies at the assigned time from God.  These are not the usual matters we hear preached from our pulpits, but they indeed have been at diverse times and places.

It is reasonable to assert every person aligns with an authority and associated power—being no neutral ground. According to Christian belief, true freedom is found in Christ’s sovereignty, through faith in Him. In the New Testament bible, people angered by this sought to find out what this freedom was, in order to slander it as a way of asserting their own power.

Only Jesus Christ, God’s begotten Son, came in human form and submitted to death on the cross, trusting only God to deliver Him from it. His sacrificial death was the acceptable atonement for sin, as sin cannot redeem itself. By overcoming death and all spiritual powers, Christ acted on behalf of humanity in obedience to God, which is why the Church continues to warn of death and eternal judgment.

God, as the supreme authority, has made a way for mankind to return to Him—cleansed of sin—through the blood of Christ. At the appointed time, believers will be made new, given spiritual and physical bodies no longer subject to sin or death. Salvation is a divine covenant, accomplished by Christ in obedience to God as an eternal contract, granted not by our human effort but by faith, enabled to be received in our hearts and minds through the help of the Holy Spirit.

God’s ways surpass human understanding. Yet, through faith in Christ, believers are spiritually reborn and united with God’s Spirit, no longer in a condemned state (actual spiritual separation from God), co-sharing in Christ’s death and resurrection. This transformation is not about rule-following or self-derived spirituality, but about receiving divine truth and love. It warns against deceptive powers that mimic light, truth and goodness which lead people away from the true Christ. Christ stands apart as the Son of God—not an angel or mystical being, but a high priest gladly calling believers His family – a personal relationship with God unfolding. Accepting Him initiates a journey in the Holy Spirit, leading to renewal, and ultimately resurrection in eternal, glorified bodies. While these teachings are not always emphasised in modern preaching, they are foundational truths of the Christian faith.

What new concepts and ideas will spark our imagination and later be our experience? Through God, these discoveries are in sight. Can we imagine, for example, faith as broad and wide as the universe? Why did we limit it?

If you will consider the implication, nothing in all creation excludes or disqualifies you and your right from acceptance of God’s faultless, free invitation to be confessed as known before all the Angels in the Kingdom of God? No sin, no shame, no guilt has any singular power to nullify and overcome the work of Christ, God’s Son, who in the Divine Trinity or Oneness with God was obedient in his commission to remove all enemies under his feet, even death itself through resurrection.

These may be statements you have not heard before or chosen to look at carefully. If two magnets are brought into space with each other, north to north, they repel. There is nothing we can do about this fact. But if you choose to consider, to be South to North, you give yourself opportunity to see what the Gospel of Salvation is actually about – as many have discovered by the testimony of their own faith and experience.

It is our hope this website will provide some insight into Jesus and His relationship to individuals, His Church, and the nations.

The universe is pretty big! Endless possibilities. What does God have in store for us when scriptures say He will make all things New – what new truths and revelations with our participation. We place limits on God. The opposite to this is people not wanting God, saying that is all right. Not a good comparison to hold.

The Christian message is clear – nothing in all creation can exclude anyone from God’s sinless and glorious presence, to have our life Him if covered and redeemed by the Cross and Calvary – what Christ did.  This means no sin, shame, or guilt from the past, anything that plagues us, as God has the power to remember our sins no more.  Jesus in loud tears understood the nature of death and undertook battle against its power, ensuring we will not fall into this exacting death. Sin’s origin was passed onto man through death with Adam. It’s full nature, beyond our comprehension, is what man fears the most. Being without Sin, born of God, Christ while son of man as well, was the only one able to defeat death without any loophole or gap.

Please consider these matters more deeply than before.  We wish to align ourselves in a position towards God’s truth to be open to the message of salvation rather than concretely refusing to hear these words. Many have come to know a living Christ through God’s imparted faith, a spiritual journey and testimony.

Our perspectives on life often come from a place of defensiveness or habit. Sometimes disagreements aren’t actual conflicts but simply different viewpoints. When we react with hostility, we may not even realize it—our minds can shut down, distort the message, or misinterpret others based on preconceived ideas and emotional filters.

Strong emotional responses often lead to poor decisions, not because we’re failing to be perfect, but because we’re human and trying to survive. When our reactions become patterns, it’s worth asking what other patterns we’ve built—and whether we’re willing to examine them. Stress and differing opinions trigger real emotional responses, but we have a choice: remain unchanged or grow in awareness and confidence to find healthier outcomes. Everyone comes from a different background, and understanding this helps us navigate life more wisely.

As an example, you may receive an e-mail that has unwelcome content. Our pre-loaded views and imagery, along with adrenaline, will likely not permit us to read what the e-mail actually says until we calm down and review it 24 hours later.

At the heart of this reflection is a foundational belief: all people are born beautiful, deeply loved by God, and uniquely made with vast spiritual potential. We owe it to ourselves to confront the emotional or mental problems we’ve inherited, so we can rediscover a genuine connection to that divine love. Why settle for anything less than real truth and connection? If you’re unsure or resistant, it’s okay—but it’s also worth exploring why you feel that way.

For those seeking truth, even from the edge of uncertainty or spiritual curiosity, the invitation is to consider who Jesus Christ is. Faith extends beyond ourselves as a journey worth taking. Our spirits are monumentally precious. There are lures that take or lead away from Christ on false premises and demands. This website will not ignore, but go into some of this content. A stubborn position is not a place from which to work. A healthy position is able to be open, even if somewhat, to review why we believe what we do, and let what is right defend itself without rigorous hostility. Sometimes there is a deeper price to pay in letting go of what someone else told us to believe, or what we thought we knew from some experience or construct. Jesus on the Cross was the greatest self-denial and price to pay.

We have mentioned the giving over by agreement, (and follow-on consequence of submission) by Adam and Eve to another power other than God. Inheritance of this to humanity is passed on. Powers existed way before man. Power is therefore real and can be handed over. We say that Christ transfers us from the dominion of darkness to the Kingdom of God, literally and spiritually. It is no surprise people wish to overcome this through concepts of the pure human being, or achievable by a hybrid construct. The extent of this other power that Adam faced is far greater than we are able to imagine, and yet, in the light of the Cross it is unbelievably powerless (this is scriptural). We say that a satanic power fiercely hates the Cross of Christ, and that power relates directly back to an entity or principality. This is different in concept to the laws of physics, which still relate back to God’s creation. This means such powers have agendas and goals in mind. We say that satanic forces have real powers against man, like a wave of the sea we cannot resist if caught up. Apart from the present condition of man and his ailments, which Christ will restore, we believe these other powers have correlations causing dior conditions for humanity and individuals. The Cross sets us free and disables permanent ownership of these above-mentioned powers.

Our views on life itself are often defensive or automatic. Sometimes what we say is not in conflict with another person, just from a different viewing angle. If we are hostile, are we aware that is how we are behaving? There is no opportunity in our minds to consider what as such is really being said. The condition of our brain shuts off and moves or generates things significantly out of context. We impose existing imagery on top of what people say.

For instance, how often have we seen decisions based on sudden, strong emotional reactions that do not serve us well? This does not suggest a failing ideology on being perfect. We want to survive. If our responses become patterns, what other patterns have we built? Are we willing to look at this? Stress and differences of opinion cause real responses. We choose to continue “as-is” through our life, or develop a degree of awareness about who we are and where we may have good confidence and better outcomes. We are all coming from diverse backgrounds.

We state that people are born beautiful and loved by God, that every person is unique and highly valued with a created, enormous capacity for spiritual “being”. We owe it to ourselves to deal with the dross that has been handed over to us that we may find the true sense of connection to this love again. Why would we want any form of substitution? If you do not like it or want it you will certainly say so, but the question is why. We try to address some of these harder issues here. If you personally are searching for Truth, walking along the shoreline of that seascape, I encourage you, even as part of your obligation, to see who Jesus Christ is. Faith is bigger than ourselves.

10 When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices; [NRSV Proverbs 11:10]

13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. [NRSV Romans 15:13]

9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. [KJV Philippians 2:9-11]

god’s righteousness jesusinsight

The only thing that brings us into God’s holiness is the Cross of Christ – his death in his body which was without sin, for us. The other side of this is what is vile by comparison, under condemnation and future judgement. People say they are not vile, they are good. This is not the definition, but what is on one side of the Cross as God’s holiness, and on the other side its absence. What else can there logically be but the “vile” if fully contrasted to this holiness.

Who is willing to say that they really want to be holy? (Most would say they want to be good, not holy.) This is a different context to what we usually refer to as being good. It takes a little time to see the meaning here. This is not meant to be offensive as all mankind are under the same condition until the application of the Cross, which was demonstrated in power over death for us by Christ’s resurrection. This has been God’s plan.

The way we are brought into God’s holiness is through the Cross of Christ—His sinless body given in death for our sake. There is mystery here as the spiritual realm meets the physical realm. The bible says redemption from sin cannot be established without the shedding of the blood – of Christ implied. The sacrifices of the Old Testament were a “type” of what Jesus would fulfill. We do not know the mind of God, which means faith is our blessing.

Some live by the mind and/or physical but spirit is different. The Spirit is not a separate entity within us or to be treated that way, rather as an integral part that has its functions and “health” for the whole person – spirit, soul, and body. A proper and co-operative place with each other, and God. Hence, the body does not rule the man but functions with the man. A “reprobate” mind focused on degradation of the flesh cannot have a proper place with the Spirit of God. This degradation is observed in diverse ways such as bondage, harm, failure and so forth. A mind focused on intellect may be subject to dismissal of spiritual life, such as denying spiritual miracles like healing (cessasionism).  An example of incorrect doctrine may be that you will go to hell if you do not observe the Sabbath. We find groups, or even cults,  saying they alone are the right way, as opposed to recognising the universal body of Christ.

One key here is to develop our awareness of how, when, and why we respond the way we do. Some do not like change, or refuse to do so. If we want to work with God, his Spirit is invited to help us see differences. Often this is helped when reading the Bible as it has his Word behind it, or when spending time with others o like mind. This is different to people forcing agreement by group pressure, punishment or threat.

Who is truly willing to say they desire holiness? It is hard to obtain desire to love God, but we see King David did so. We can too. People usually say they want to be good in general—but not holy. Holiness as a different concept surpasses “good”, and hence has joy instead of temporary happiness. All of humanity shares the same condition, God therefore leads us to the Cross in the same and one way.

As God’s Spirit works with us over time, we develop appropriate fruits of the Spirit, so that our qualities become something real rather than unstable. We see the same in others who are on the same journey even though everyone is unique. We are each given at our spiritual birth into Christ a spirit of discernment, a topic in itself, but this recognises when something is not quite right, or a red flag. We may develop this sensitivity, or inversely suppress it. The question of interest is how we develop safely in Christ and spiritual matters.

The “operations” of the Spirit are the same for everyone, as the Holy Spirit is not in contradiction with himself. We may justifiably grow in Christ which is an encouragement.

Concerning salvation – “What cannot be found by moral perfection cannot be lost by moral imperfection.” Dr Michael Heiser

Today, people focus on what they say is moral, pure, immoral or sin. While these things are important, they are not the basis of salvation. Salvation is faith in Jesus Christ, Gods Son, and his dying for our sins, which then opens life to those who believe. Subsequent to this is often found misunderstanding of the Gospel. I.e., man’s views on what people must subsequently do, rather than God’s terms, His Holiness, and how God teaches his own children – not how you teach and tell them. Where is the respect for those whom God loves. Show me where it is displayed with true thought, genuineness, and life. Much of this website questions where thoughts and actions lead to dead ends and harm, where spiritual development is substituted by other means. God is the one who waters, God respects his own work, freedom of the believer is in experiencing the benefits of God’s choices made available. God then moves us on from our sins, the process being what is important, as that is what “time” is given to us for (in part). Man can offer none of this, but constantly he refuses to let go of this system he has determined to demand, losing much as a result. Love in the name of love is not love without Spirit and Truth. Truth is not an ideal or self-determined teaching. Who is a man to say another does not have the Holy Spirit when they in fact do. This is the problem we face today. We have forgotten the central focus on Christ’s love, and that God is God.

Concerning salvation – “What cannot be found by moral perfection cannot be lost by moral imperfection.” Dr Michael Heiser

Today, people focus on what they say is moral, immoral, pure or sin. While these are important, they are not the basis of salvation.

Salvation is faith in Jesus Christ, God’s Son born of a young woman Mary (as that is the only way to produce sons and daughters since the creation of Adam) his dying for our sins in a singular Way that God provisioned for mine and your redemption from sin and death, which then opens new life to those who believe, a life we did not see before. This new life was unable to be seen by us through what we call the prior unregenerate man. Birth in the Spirit of God is a regeneration. It is a transference back to God’s power.

Subsequent to this is the battle of sin and the flesh in all its multitudinous variations. This is why we find misunderstandings of the Gospel, hypocrisy and so forth. Man’s views on how people benefit and develop spiritually is commonly shared and born from God’s word within the hearts of men, aligned with God by His Spirit, only through the power of the Cross. This is not by special knowledge or self-representation, rather on God’s terms. These truths are in accordance with God’s word and hence the Bible. Discord readily arises with interpretations of God’s word, but truth from our Lord does not contravene these words. It is safe to be in Christ. The Word of God is not a dead end without resolve and love, but highly respectful of you, enveloped and filled with Life so that you find joy and meaning in Him. This is true and assured. We are asked by the Lord to question the truth of matters, not so much as a judgemental attitude but to grow in rightness of mind and spirit.  people.
