Authentic Versus Counterfeit Faith (Ii) Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on May 27, 2024

This message examines the qualities of saving faith as revealed in Romans 4:18-22. In this chapter, Paul uses Abraham's example to teach the kind of faith response to God that ultimately leads to eternal salvation. Hint: It is not easy believism.
