We are to be encouraged by the glorious light of Jesus and made confident in the glory of His suffering and resurrection, so that we will persevere as His willing disciples.

Believing by faith that Jesus is the Christ who suffered for our sins and bore our shame on the cross; we are, as His disciples, to take up His life and His gospel, courageously bearing His shame in this life, in the confidence of the glory to come.

Jesus gives us faith to see Him clearly as our Savior and to believe His gospel which is for all peoples.

Our only standing before God is by His grace, though faith in Jesus Christ who has done all things well; even making us hear and speak by the power of His gospel.

Because the true source of defilement is our sinful hearts, not religious exercise, we must run to Christ for clean hearts.

By faith we can believe that Jesus is the only begotten Son of God who has come to shepherd the flock of God into His glorious kingdom.

As disciples of Jesus Christ, we call people to repentance and faith in His gospel and face the same rejection and unbelief that He did, knowing that Jesus who atoned for our sin has the authority to forgive sin.

The Snowball of God's Love

Jesus, pure in righteousness, entered this impure world in order to save His people from their sin, so that by faith in Him we can be purified to be with Him forever.

By faith we can have the very love of God in Jesus Christ, which is wide enough to help the helpless and deep enough to give hope to the hopeless.
