Delighting In God's Law

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Sep 20, 2020

God's law is the basis for the psalmist to be blameless, and that is the basis for him to enjoy God's favour. The psalmist respects God's law, relies on it, delights in it, and asks God to teach him it. But can he be blameless? The answer is yes.

The Standard Of Justification

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 1, 2021

Jesus met a lawyer trying to justify himself as being good enough for heaven. This message looks at two standards: Our standard of righteousness (or right living), which is the Law; and our standard of justification, which is Jesus.

I’ve entitled our message this evening “The Standard of Justification.” So, what is the standard by which we are justified before God and made free to enter heaven when we die? There are actually two standards that we’ll discover: One is our standard of righteousness (or right living), which is ...read more
