The Turning Point

Contributed by Scott Spencer on Sep 12, 2013

What is in view here is our salvation. God is revealing how He saves us. He is revealing how we are made right with Him. We call this justification. It is how we are made righteous before God.

All of us stand before God guilty as charged. And there is absolutely nothing that any of us can do about ...read more
