Wrath Is Revealed Series

Contributed by Bruce Willis on Sep 24, 2007

It provides deliverance from the penalty of sin (death) and freedom from sin’s power over us now (it no longer masters us). For in the gospel he points out that a righteousness from God is ...read more

Vision Of The Lord Series
