Our salvation not only required Christ's shed blood, but the scripture often speaks of His bodily suffering.

Salvation means the transformation of enemies into friends

Biblical examples of people who gave up all to follow the Lord.

This Psalm could describe God's saint defending himself before God in front of his accusers.

Jesus's seamless robe may have miraculously been winnings from gambling, but it could not have saved the wearer/winner.

Jesus has expectations for His disciples. He has exhortations for them. He will examine them as well.

Pharaoh is a good illustration of Paul's lesson from Romans 1.

Peter knew he would glorify God in death, so he so lived to glorify God in his life.

Paul gave up everything to KNOW Christ. That is far more than just salvation

There are things we must do to maintain the fire of the Holy Spirit in our hearts.
