The Power Activator - James 2:14-19 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Sep 6, 2021

How can you have assurance of your salvation? And how can a deceived person avoid having false assurance? James makes the answers clear by giving a clear definition of the one aspect of the gospel that is all too often left vague: exactly what you have to do to be saved.

Michael, the great archangel, was entrusted with great authority by the Lord Jehovah. According to Jewish tradition found ...read more
