Abraham's Obedient Faith

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Apr 17, 2023

Is there a difference between works of the law and works of faith? Many Christians confuse the two as one, but they are not. Let's let the Bible answer the question.

We solve the confusion by asking what kind of “works” is being discussed. Is it works of the law or works of obedient ...read more
