Assurance Of Salvation

Contributed by Don Baggett on Dec 1, 2007

Some people should not have assurance, because they are not saved, but when saved people do not have assurance, they are robbed of the joy of the Christian life.

What Is Our Problem?

Contributed by Greg Nance on Jul 23, 2007

This is our second study in this series. God describes our problem, how we got there and what it does to us. Once we begin to understand the problem and how devastating it is, perhaps we will begin to appreciate the solution.

Everything God made was good, very good. But then things change. There was this tree and this serpent. God had put Adam and Eve in a ...read more
