    based on 1 rating
     | 397 views

    In the Old Testament there were shadows of things that were fulfilled only through Christ in the New Testament. As we live in a world where truth is overshadowed by falsehood, let us hold firmly to God and His word so we can walk and live by the truth.

    We read in Philippians 4:8, Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. (ESV) The above mentioned verse ...read more
