    It may seem impossible to please a perfect, all-knowing, holy God but there is a way, & that way is faith. The actions of these OT saints shows that faith pleases God & that He rewards all those who seek & follow Him by faith.

    Paul proves through Scripture that Abraham was not justified by works.

    4:1 “What then shall we say that Abraham our father has found according to the flesh?” Let’s look at this verse, as all the others, one word at a time. “Then” is “therefore” in this text. Based on all Paul has told us about sin, righteousness, judgment – by the way, the three things Jesus said ...read more

     | 994 views

    No reason to be ashamed of the Gospel since believing in it will save our souls.

    1:16 “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ.” [Once more we have a textual variation. The Textus Receptus says “of Christ”, the Nestle-Aland, no. But again not a serious matter. But this explains why your KJV/NKJV have “of Christ”, and other versions you might read, do not.] Notice in ...read more

So Isaac went to Gerar, to Abimelech king of the Philistines. 2 And the LORD appeared to him and ...read more

    You know the bible mentions FEAR around 300-400 times BUT it mentions faith/trust/believe 1,000 times. Let that sink in. Faith overcomes Fear and Fear is there to test our Faith!

    2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. Let us pray… Let me tell you a story. One day a man decides to clean his roof gutter. It was filled with leaves and dirt and it was blocking the drainage. So he puts up his ladder, ...read more
