     | 3,305 views

    Can we even live holy lives? Or are we condemned to live in the shackles of sin until we are glorified at death? Are we a new creation or does the Father just see the blood of His Son covering our sins as we commit them once we're saved?

    Romans 6:22-23 “Now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Three categories of ...read more

    As we consider at Christmas the reasons Jesus came, service is near the top of the list, a self-giving service that led all the way to the cross.

    Jesus was born in Bethlehem to serve, and servant-hood is the theme of this messianic prophecy. It has been called Isaiah’s “Servant Song.” The Servant is the anointed Messiah, the Lord Jesus, “Who being in very nature God...made Himself nothing, taking the very nature of ...read more
