The Gift of Salvation

Acts 4:12 “No one else can save us. Indeed, we can be saved only by the power of the one named Jesus and not by any other person.” The dictionary defines salvation as, “preservation or deliverance from harm, ruin, or loss”. But the Bible defines it as so much more. It is a free gift […]

Temporary Suffering, Permanent Grace

1 Peter 5:10 “May the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.” The harsh reality of life on earth is that we all face trouble but the good news is that we don’t have to face […]

You are a Child of God

Galatians 3:26 “For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.” How would you respond to the question, “Who are you?” Children might respond with their names, their parents’ names, and perhaps their age or the class they’re in. Most adults tend to answer with their profession, marital status, and maybe the […]
