Introduction
What
believer does not want fullness in Jesus Christ? Scriptures make wonderful
promises about the fullness that is available to true believers. The subject
has been of special interest to me over several years, as I struggled with my
understandings of the Word of God on these issues. The Lord led me into studies
on prayer, the believer's authority in Christ. During that time the subject of
faith itself had an obvious connection with these things. During that time,
Norman Grubb's writings came to my notice and my spirit quickened with the
excitement of his words about Romans 6-8. I did not understand too much but
considered God's Spirit within me a better judge of what may be true and
continued to read all his books and allowed his explanations slowly be revealed
to me.
Now
some years later - (2003), there is sufficient obvious truth of basic issues in
the rest of his writing that not only makes sense, but excites the spirit in me
to a far greater degree than all other explanations of Christian life I have
ever read. All Christian writers find their critics, but for me at this stage,
Grubb's explanations of the Gospel seem to be more true
scripturally than any other studied so far. Other enquiries about Grubb's life
revealed a number of strong believers in

who really know their Bible and the truths it contains.

Romans
7 - another look by Ken Walker. If ever
there was a segment of scripture that confused, Romans 7:14-24 could well take
the prize. For it seems to say we will have an endless battle which will
perhaps prevent us living in the fullness of life that Paul otherwise asserts
is his life style. So is there a conflict here between what Paul says in Romans
7 and what he describes elsewhere in his writings?This
is a simplied look at the correct interpretation,
mostly using just two verses of scripture, one from Romans 7 and one from
Romans 8.

Proclaiming The
Gospel of Jesus Christ (Of both blood and body aspects) Part 2 - Complementary
Issues Ken Walker September
2002 This is not the main study of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, but does include
many important complementary aspects of the basic study. What was done in the
first part of the study (see next link below) completed the basic teaching of
the Gospel of Jesus Christ, covering both blood and body effects resulting from
the death and resurrection of Christ. In that study we have already covered how
our sins are forgiven and how sin is defeated so that we may reign in life.
However, there are a significant number of related issues that are now
addressed, in order to extend and complement the whole study. I realized that
it would be necessary to explain some of these, because in part they underpin
the understanding of the Gospel itself. Perhaps this document should even be
read first. This study will be written in a question and answer format. Please
note that most of these explanations are brief, and are not meant to be
comprehensive or complete in nature, only addressing the central issues of each
question. However, further references will be given in either books or Internet
addresses where readers wish to pursue a greater understanding on a particular
issue.
Proclaiming the
Gospel of Jesus Christ - both blood and body aspects. By Ken Walker. The gospel of Jesus Christ has both
a blood and body aspect, which together make possible forgiveness, regeneration
leading to eternal life after death, and fullness of life on earth due to
freedom from sin and law. The first aspect brings the new believer into
permanent relationship to God and the second provides the freedom from sin and law , along with many other benefits which are needed to
have the power to live the life on earth. How would I compare it with
traditional descriptions and teachings of the Gospel? Traditional descriptions
and teachings of the gospel normally only include the blood aspect of the cross
dealing with forgiveness of sin, regeneration and receiving eternal life. The
body aspect of the cross, which provides for freedom from sin and law is not
normally taught as a part of the gospel and is mostly relegated to being just
another bit of doctrine. Consequently, many, if not most believers, do not have
the power to live the life as God intended, simply because they do not know the
full effect of Christ's death and resurrection, nor how to have it implemented
in their life.
Two
Vital Aspects of the Christian Life. by Ken Walker. In this
study, the operation of the Holy Spirit and faith in the life of a believer are
seen as the two vital aspects of the Christian life. The study contends that
they should be taught first in the context of the whole Gospel of Jesus Christ
- as explained elsewhere on this page. If not, then believers can attempt to
live out the commands and instructions of the New Testament out of their own
strength, instead of through faith and in the power of the Spirit. The study
further contends that yielded-ness and humility are basic requirements before
the Spirit will provide His ultimate fullness. The study then compares the use
of the written word and the Word of the Spirit. This study complements The
Proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, also accessible from this page.
Is your life as God
intended it to be? By Ken Walker:PersonName> Do you think your life is as God
intended it to be? Have you ever pondered that question in the light of how our
lives actually seem to be? How did
God really intend our lives to be?
One person describes it this way. We
were made to contain the very life of Jesus. He means to live out the reality of who He is right here within the reality of who we are. He means to be our lives - the thoughts
in our heads (we have the mind of Christ scripture says), the creativity in our
work, the love in our hearts. He means to take on the stress and
unravel the complications, so that we can move through our lives just as He
did, in gentleness, simplicity and harmony.
Where has all the agape
gone? By Ken Walker This short writing examines
the Christian life in the light of Romans 5:5, which says that the love of God has
been poured out into our hearts by the Holy Spirit. The article suggests some
of the reasons why this may not operate in all believers.
The
Adversities of Life By Ken Walker - How do you see and handle the adversities that come to you
in your life? Most of us consider them a
nuisance, something that shouldnt have happened to
us. Common adversities
include ill-health, financial loss, violence of both physical and verbal types,
loss of loved ones, unemployment, disunity and various traumas such as
accidents or just plain misfortune.
We almost never see such things as positive, but always as something
bad, calling it a set back, bad luck, misfortune, or if they the adversity is
really difficult we would call it a disaster, calamity of catastrophe, as
indeed they can be. So why
are adversities such a common occurrence in life? Why do they happen and how should
we view them for both believers and unbelievers?

Parable of the Unknowing Boy - by Ken Walker. This is a parable written to
demonstrate how the world is for unbelievers in what God has done through Jesus

He shows how a proper understanding of Romans Chapters 6,7

Yes I Am by Norman Grubb. http://www.unionlife.org/yesIam In my opinion this is Norman Grubb's
best work - it is his last book written in 1984 - It is a book of about 250
pages. As it is still in print, I am surprised to see it published on the web
by Union Life. They must be seeing it as a ministry to a needy Christian world.
It is a book of 250 pages and summarizes all his best work. Grubb's books tend
to be cumulative in nature, as he developed his ideas over about 60 years,
starting with his time in the
