    God is sovereign, He controls the “times”, yet in spite of this, we often fail to recognize God’s hand at work in the world. We have at best a limited view of all that God is doing.

Much of the new Testament, especially the writings of Paul, John and Peter, deal with the process of sanctification – the process of ...read more

    For man to be reconciled to God and have the relationship and fellowship with Him restored, it required redeeming man from the deadly consequence of sin.

     | 349 views

    God's ways and thoughts are unique in relation to the thoughts and ways of man.

    God's way is unique in relation to man's way. The Gospel is God's direction. It is not man-made. There is no way that any man could have ever come up with it or at any point devise it.

    How does God view man? Why was man created? God wanted man, living in the Spirit, to rule the earth and conquer Satan. He wanted mere man, made from the dust of the earth, to have dominion.
