The Engrafted Word Of God

Every scribe who is instructed unto the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man that is a householder, which brings forth out of his treasurers things new and old. Our love for God grows faster than our knowledge, then our understanding has a great desire to seek to know God even more closely and personal, we rest only in perfect knowledge of God. Our love begins and ends in knowing Him. This perfectly unites us to God in the closeness of solitary visions, our whole heart, mind, and soul. Perfection is in love. Our earthly knowledge is changed in God's perfect light, if we stay in it. The perfected knowledge that God alone gives us is the knowledge that ascends. At first, we saw dimly, but then, face to face. We are allowed to interpret the mysteries of His Holy Word. We may bring in certain sayings of which we know the interpretation would lead the hearers into the innermost sanctuary of that truth, which is hidden. The Engrafted Word perfects purity, and slays death by the Lord's presence, which is the presence of His discernment. After the slaying of death, the disciple of Divine Knowledge is illuminated. The Word of the LORD is pure, and remains so eternally. But those who have not come to know God, which is the Holy Union of The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit, merely speculates, engrafting their own thoughts and inventions which is diluting the Word of God. Purity makes it's disciple a theologian of God, who of themselves , grasp the doctrines. It is written "Receive with meekness, the Engrafted Word of God, which is able to save your souls." The true aim of our Christian life consists in the acquisition of the Holy Spirit of God. Only the good deeds done for Christ's sake bring us the fruits of the Holy Spirit.

Described by Pope Pius XII as the most important theologian since Thomas Aquinas, the Swiss pastor and theologian, Karl Barth, continues to be a major influence on students, scholars and preachers today. Barth's theology found its expression mainly through his closely reasoned fourteen-part magnum opus, Die Kirchliche Dogmatik. Having taken over 30 years to write, the Church Dogmatics is regarded as one of the most important theological works of all time, and represents the pinnacle of Barth's achievement as a theologian. T&T Clark International is now proud to be publishing the only complete English translation of the Church Dogmatics in paperback.

The whole armor of God is God's provision for His people, and needs to be utilized as He has directed. Living the successful life God has ordained for us through His Son, Jesus Christ, entails spiritual warfare.

The Structure of the Word of God explains the manner in which God composed His divine Word. Here you will find the complete definition and usage of the words "inspiration," "revelation," and "enlightenment," which are very important in understanding the biblical text. We also define the true meaning of the spoken Word of God as it is used in the context of spiritual warfare. We focus entirely on the unfolding of the key words surrounding this subject and also within the context. I firmly believe that this book will give you a solid understanding of how to read the biblical text that you can use to help others along the way. As a student of the biblical text myself, I don't limit myself in understanding the meaning embedded in the written Word of God. Of course, every word is used in its full context and under the assistance of the Holy Spirit and the fear of the Lord, without which this book would be just another piece of intellectual literature. My sole purpose is to share with others the riches found in the written Word of God and available to those who seek His truth.

The Bible is clear: your words carry power in both the natural and spiritual worlds. By speaking what God says about you, your faith-filled words can change the circumstances in your life...
