Has God parceled out the oversight of the nations of the world to supernatural beings who rule under his authority.

In order to understand why salvation is by grace alone, received through faith alone, in Christ alone, we have to understand the human condition.----The real problem with the Pharisee in Jesus' parable was that he was like other men but didn't know it.

What are principalities and powers and the world rulers over this dark world-

We only truly believe what we act on- By faith . . . Noah prepared an Ark. While we are declared righteous through faith alone, saving faith is always accompanied by action. We are declared righteous through faith alone- our faith is declared to be true faith through our works alone.

This is a Sunday School class focusing on -The Unseen War,- a look at how Satan-s kingdom impacts history and our individual lives. We begin to explore how God is absolutely sovereign and yet how Satan can hinder the work of God. There was a handout taken from Bob's doctoral dissertation dealing with Islam.

Noah became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith- he did not fully inherit this righteousness until the death of the Lord Jesus Christ.

In a time of rebellion and perversion, Enoch made time to walk with God by faith- along with Elijah, he is one of two people never to experience death. Enoch's experience can be ours.

Abel still speaks by faith, but his speaking is a call for judgment. Under the New Covenant, the Lord Jesus' blood speaks forgiveness.

The Lord Jesus shed his blood not only to wash away our sins but the wash away the sinful element in our -good- works. We sometimes fail to realize that our good works only become good by faith- -The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD- -Proverbs 15-8-.----God accepted Abel's sacrifice because Abel was a believer- he rejected Cain's sacrifice because Cain was a child of the devil.

By faith we lay hold of the promises of God and experience as real and substantial not only the future kingdom in the here and now, but faith sees the reality behind everyday life for what it is- God and all his hosts working for our salvation against Satan and all his.
