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
These original writings on this page put together in 2003 are
from more than one source. Some are written by Dan Stone, Linda
Bunting and by Norman Grubb himself, who sought and found fullness of life
in Christ during their lifetimes. Others are written by Ken Walker of Global Good News. There are also links to other major
websites constructed by people 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.
(are you) Getting through the strife of life by Ken Walker. Scripture
says we are equipped, so how do we manage life? The sovereignty of God ought to
indicate to believing man that God is in control of all things at all
times. Further, that if believing
man has faith in God that His will is applied to his life in every circumstance
of life by God, then believing man should have no anxiety and little concern
about his life. It could or perhaps
should be as simple as that. But
this is certainly not so in most men and women today as they struggle with
life, almost as if God was not there at all, as though they had to do something
to keep their life on even keel, whilst hoping that God might do a bit for them
now and then. A 12 page
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?

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
