Many people claim they love Jesus. Many say they love Jesus but change their minds very quickly when they learn what Jesus actually said.

Our sin was imputed to Christ who took it to the cross and His disease-free righteousness is imputed to us by faith. He saves us from sin and death and makes us forever well. Either by His wounds you are healed or you are not healed at all.

Do you believe in the resurrection? Or do you view this as something akin to an April Fool's joke? You can believe the earth is flat. And you can believe Jesus did NOT rise from the dead. But your believing is in vain if what you're believing isn't true.

God the Father has lavished His love upon us through the redemptive and adoptive work of His Son, Jesus Christ, thus causing us to be numbered among His very own children! The realization of all this should flood our hearts with unspeakable joy...

In a broad sense, an antichrist is anyone who denies Jesus as the Christ. More narrowly, an antichrist is anyone who becomes a human agent of Satan in defiant opposition to our Lord. John indicates they actually had them in the church!
