Justification is a legal term, but what does it mean and how does it relate to Christians?
Our sin is an offense to God. But the God whose holiness we have offended, whose world we have spoiled, and whose wrath we have incurred sent His one and only Son to bear this wrath for us.
At the Cross of Christ, all of God’s wrath toward sin was poured out upon Jesus. There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ.
In order for love to be genuine, it must hate evil. God's wrath is His settled resolve that evil will not stand.
When God justifies us, he charges our sins to Jesus and He credits the righteousness of Jesus to us. We aren't justified by our performance, rather by faith, the perfect righteousness of Jesus becomes ours.
God could, if he chose, do all things by himself. But in His infinite wisdom, He chooses to work through vessels of clay to accomplish His ends in the world.
When we see Jesus as He really is, the Sovereign Lord of creation changes everything about our lives. There is no part of life that He is not sovereign over.
In the Bible we see God working through people in various ways and at various times. That did not stop when the Bible was complete. The Lord is still working today, and you are a part of it!
It is God’s desire to empower His people to be his witnesses throughout the world. He has done so, and continues to do so.
The early church was a ragtag group of disciples with little strength…until the Holy Spirit descended upon them in power!
Jesus Christ came to fulfill all of the promises that were delivered by the Old Testament Prophets. In Him, every promise is “Yes” and “Amen.”
Jesus Christ came to give us abundant life in the Spirit, to restore to us the life that was lost in Adam.
The Bible presents us with the truth about Jesus Christ and his salvation. Will you choose to trust Him, or will you reject Him?
The Holy Spirit not only supports believers by being with us and strengthening us. He also lives inside of every Christian and gives life to our souls.
The Holy Spirit shows us our need for Christ by shining Christ’s light into our lives.
We receive salvation by faith in Jesus Christ alone, but the faith we need to believe is itself a gift from God given by the Holy Spirit. He applies salvation to us.
If Jesus were not God, He would not be able to tell His disciples, “If you have seen me you have seen the Father.”
Part of the glory of Christ is that He has life in Himself which the Father granted to Him.
What is the nature and relationship between the first and second persons of the Trinity?
To know the Father’s love means to obey Him, for only those who obey are able to say that they recognize His authority over their lives and experience His loving care for them.
