(2 Of 4) God’s Open Courtroom Series

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 27, 2025

Daniel’s prophecy time-stamps heaven’s public vindication of Calvary, assuring believers that Christ’s finished work secures eternal acceptance and unshakable hope.

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 7, 2021

Looking back over this defense of Paul, it is no wonder he was used of God the way he was. His courage in severe struggle; his master motive of pleasing God; his attitude of complete sincerity and gentleness, and his blameless behavior all add up to one of the most Christ-like lives ever lived.
