This is a teaching on the power that we receive from the Holy Spirit.

Our salvation is God-centered; and like Abraham, our faith is simply trusting our Heavenly Father and walking in obedience to what God instructs us to do - our "pilgrimage."

Scripture has lots to say about how the believer is to endure, cope, and trust.  The development of Christian character does not occur without difficulties and adversity.  

Scripture has lots to say about how the believer is to endure, cope, and trust.  We are repeatedly told that the development of Christian character does not occur without difficulties and adversity.  

By grace alone, through faith alone – and in Christ alone.  When Christ came, He paid for Abraham’s and David’s sin as He did for your sin and mine.

Christ taking flesh is a mystery we shall never fully understand until we come to heaven.  If our hearts not be rocks, this love of Christ should affect us.  Behold love that passes knowledge (Ephesians 3:19). - Thomas Watson, A Body of Divinity

Merry Christmas!

Christmas is about Christ, His coming, as prophesied, and God's plan!

Twice so far Paul has said that the gift of God’s righteousness apart from the Law was announced in the Old Testament.  Now we will see that it was not only announced, but it is the only way ANYONE could be saved.  

Faith is not a good work; it does not earn salvation.  BUT faith is essential; only those who believe on Jesus Christ can be saved.  Thanks be to God that He has given us that which He requires – Ephesians 2:8-10.
