Theology Plus Sympathy Builds Bridges
Past privileges are no substitute for personal faith, as Israel's experience teaches us. Yet Israel's faithlessness does not alter God's eternal plan. Jesus Christ will be honored forever. Let us be sure that through faith in Him we are part of honoring Him both now and forever.
Jesus Loves Me, This I Know
We who are saved by God's grace know God's love for us is constant; it endures. His love never abandons us, even through suffering and death. His love is established and secured in the work of Jesus Christ, and it gives us assurance that we are His and we always will be.
Eternal Security
Our salvation rests solely upon the gracious work of God. Likewise, our salvation is eternally secure because of His completed work; no person and no power can take away what God in His grace has given.
An Explanation of Predestination
Our salvation in Christ is certain and secure. This is because salvation is solely God's work, and He has linked us to Himself with an unbreakable chain of divine actions.
Making Sense of Circumstances
Through all the trials of life and all the confusing events that seem to make no sense, we can cling to God's promise. He is in control, He is at work, and He is working everything out for our good and His glory. This is the amazing promise unveiled in Romans 8:28.
The most Misused Verse in Scripture
We must be careful not to demand more from God than what He promises. His promises are sure and good, but they do not exempt us from trials and suffering in this life.
Groaning in the Grip of Winter
As we follow Christ and pursue godliness in the midst of this ungodly world, we look ahead, longing for the day our groaning will become glory. We do so with the certainty of that coming day and the assurance of the Holy Spirit’s intercession.
Inheriting our Father's Fortune
As believers in Christ, we are fellow heirs with Him of all God has to offer us. That inheritance means temporary suffering in this world but assurance of eternity in the presence of God in a perfect world.
Led by the Spirit
The work of the indwelling Holy Spirit is essential to a consistent Christian life. He empowers and directs us. We must simply yield to Him as He teaches us through the Bible and energizes our relationship with our heavenly Father.
Friends Forever
What is your mind set upon? What occupies your mind more than anything else? To thoughtfully consider this question is to contemplate your relationship with God and whether you can truly call yourself a friend of God the Holy Spirit.
