Is Christianity a Covert Religion?

Let’s look at that in relation to all the information out there about the New World Order (NWO). Ok first we need our Bibles so if you don’t have your Bible go get it before you continue reading or buy one at Amazon…





Ok turn to Ephesians 2:8-9 and read what it says there I’m using a NIV so if yours is different remember its only semantics and not cause for concern. Mine says;

8. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9. not by works, so that no one can boast.

“For it is by grace you have been saved,”

Theological meaning of;

grace –

a. the freely given, unmerited or undeserved favor and love of God.
b. the influence or spirit of God operating in humans to regenerate or strengthen them.
c. a virtue or excellence of divine origin: the Christian graces.



Theological meaning of;

-faith-

English; faith, 1. complete trust or confidence 2. strong belief in God (religion) 3. a system of religious belief

Latin; fidere, origin fides; to trust, trust in a person or thing, faith, confidence, reliance, credence, belief (syn.: fidelitas, fiducia, confidentia).

Greek; pistis, (pis-tis) truth itself, assurance, trust, belief, believe, faith, fidelity

Hebrew; êmûwn, (ay-moon) established, trustworthiness, trusty, faith, truth






and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God”

-Gift-

1.

something given voluntarily without payment in return, as to show favor toward someone, honor an occasion, or make a gesture of assistance; present.

2.

the act of giving.

3.

something bestowed or acquired without any particular effort by the recipient or without its being earned: Those extra points he got in the game were a total gift.

4.

a special ability or capacity; natural endowment; talent: the gift of saying the right thing at the right time.

“not by works,”

Theological meaning of;

-works-

Righteous deeds


“ so that no one can boast”


Theological meaning of;

-boast-


a thing boasted of; a cause for pride: Piety is his boast. It is her boast that she has never done anything wrong so it makes her a better Christian.



So it does seem covert as in one cannot receive faith without the direct involvement of God the Father in giving them faith through grace.

So Christian what is your excuse for not spreading the gospel, is it because you are;

  • Shy
  • Not your thing
  • Lazy
  • Don’t know who to tell
  • Don’t know how

No matter what your excuse you can overcome it through the exercise of your faith and belief in God the Father and his son Jesus Christ. It all starts with prayer try this prayer each morning before you start your day. “Lord please give me the words and people to tell of your saving grace today, send me those prepared to hear of You.

Good luck and God Bless your effort in spreading the gospel…

May...

The Lord bless and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
And give you peace.
