Faith opens our eyes. And gloriously, it opens our eyes to the wonders of creation. And with these opened eyes we see the eternity, power, and authority of our God, might we glory in this!

Old Testament believers were also saved by faith, this is a fact we often forget. And not only this, but they lived by faith and obtained a good testimony by it. Using Job (who is not mentioned in this chapter) to illustrate this point, we consider his faithfulness in trial as seen in Job 19.

Jesus Christ is coming back! What will it be like when He does? It is not for us to determine the times or places, rather we trust that He is to return, if we are in Him, we are to desire that day greatly, for all will be made right.

What is the significance of Jesus’ resurrection? This passage teaches us that without the resurrection, the Christian faith falls apart, and due to Christ’s resurrection, we are assured that death is not the end: mankind will also one day rise, will it be to eternal joy, or to eternal condemnation?

The atonement: the reconciliation of God and man in Christ Jesus. What a wonderful truth, that in Christ, we can have a relationship with God despite our sin: God remains just, and He is also our justifier!
