Freely Forgiven

Contributed by Ted Sutherland on Dec 7, 2005

Sinners have always been saved the same way! By faith! Abraham and David are Biblical examples of this fact.

Freely Forgiven Rom 4:1-8 There is a surprising resistance to the message of “justification by faith.” Not infrequently I have been challenged by people who have said, “Do you mean to tell me that if a murderer–rapist repents and believes at the last minute before he dies he will be justified by ...read more

The Hagar Affair Series

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Nov 29, 2004

The birth of Ishmael came about as a lapse of faith. Like Abram & Sarah, we sometimes try to “help God out,” when instead we should be waiting and trusting.
