    Justification By Faith Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on May 25, 2014
     | 4,187 views

    The earliest controversy in the church was over a critical matter: What does it mean in practical terms to be a member of God’s family? Also, coming to Christ is an act of self-denial. We are “under new management.”

Which one is it--the road of good works or faith? Works will get us lost in the woods. When we realize that none of ...read more

     | 7,362 views

    “How should man be just with God?” was a very important question, because the answer had eternal consequences. “The just shall live by His faith” is God’s answer; and it was this truth that has liberated so many from religious bondage and fear.

    Adam’s sin passed sin and death on to the whole human race, but Christ’s obedience gives righteousness and life to all who trust Him.

    No Boasting In The Law Series

    Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Mar 12, 2024

    One who would be justified must keep the entire law perfectly. Thus the Law condemns.

    2:17. “Indeed you are called a Jew, and rest on the law and make your boast in God,” Following the authorized text and its Greek, that word “indeed” probably doesn’t fit. The word is an interjection used to show surprise and is most often translated “look” or “see”. Old English would be “behold.” ...read more
