    About this ebook

    The greatest commandment given to all believers in Jesus Christ is the command to love God. As believers we are also commanded “to grow in the knowledge and grace of Jesus Christ” (2 Pet. 3:18). Without correct understanding of Bible doctrine it is impossible to fulfill these commandments, and the believer will continue to fail in the spiritual life. The great Christians are not necessarily those who have the most prominent positions in the church, or who show themselves to be constantly busy in Christian service, or who sing and pray the loudest during the worship service. This collection of essays helps us to understand that the great Christians are those who are humble enough to obey God’s commands, learning and applying the word of God, and growing to spiritual maturity by developing an intimate and continuous fellowship with Him through means of both Bible doctrine in the soul and the filling of the Holy Spirit. These Christians are the ‘winner- believers’ of the Church age, the believers who have attained spiritual fulfillment, passed all forms of faith-testing and are able to maintain continual focus on the person of Christ. Only the winner-believer has the capacity to receive maximum blessings from God while giving glory to Him before both men and angels alike.

      Acknowledgement

      The author has studied under the teaching ministry of R. B. Thieme, Jr., his faithful pastor for over 30 years. During that time Max has learned many biblical principles and doctrinal truths which have given him a clear understanding of the spiritual life. It is this spiritual life that Max desires to explain in simple written form, that others may also come to know the spiritual life that God has provided for all believers in Jesus Christ.

      Chapter One

      1 John 1:9

      Regaining fellowship with God through the naming of sins

      Staying in fellowship is very important in the Christian way of life. Therefore, we must learn how to recover fellowship after committing sin. For restoration to fellowship, God has designed a simple procedure. Although it is simple, it must be followed exactly. Naming our sins to God the Father is a conditional procedure and not a promise to be applied by faith. A promise is a divine declaration or assurance that something specified will or will not happen, whereas a procedure is a course of action (naming our sins) by which a result is obtained (forgiveness of our sins). A promise requires faith; a procedure requires action. This verse does not say, If we believe and cite our sins. The believer cannot walk by faith when he is out of fellowship. So, God has given the believer a simple procedure for restoration to fellowship. Simply name your sins to Him, and He will restore you to fellowship. The Faith-rest drill, namely walking by faith cannot be accomplished when we are out of fellowship with the Holy Spirit. The Faith-rest drill is applying Bible doctrine to our experience and requires divine power for execution. This divine power is provided by the filling ministry of God the Holy Spirit∗ only when we are in fellowship. Walking by faith is a part of the spiritual life. When the believer is out of fellowship, his spiritual life comes to a halt until he gets back in fellowship. In the function of the Faith-rest drill, the soul must be controlled by God the Holy Spirit. When the believer is out of fellowship, his soul is controlled by his sin nature. When the believer is controlled by his sinful nature, he is in a totally helpless and hopeless situation. This is why God has to provide a grace solution to our dilemma. This grace solution is a simple procedure, not a faith-exercise. The Christian must realize that he is either in fellowship or out of fellowship. He is not partly in fellowship and partly out of fellowship.

      When the believer is obedient to Bible doctrine in his soul under the filling of the Holy Spirit, he is in fellowship
