After Adam sinned, work became a burden. But in the Kingdom of God, work will be a complete joy!
The Lord will someday bring about a New Heaven and a New Earth. What will it be like?
How wonderful is it that God thought of you as Christ was dying on the cross? He loves sinners so much, even those who had yet to be born.
Sin is like a huge burden on our backs. But Christ is able to remove it from us!
God has given us tools to win the war against sin and the devil. God uses the Bible as a mirror and counselors as a source of wisdom to help you find the truth.
Most people think that other people are their main problem, but that isn’t true. We don’t struggle against flesh and blood, but against the evil one.
Do you see the Church as central to the purposes of God in the world? He certainly does, and he will use his Church to accomplish his ends.
God’s purpose is to draw all men to himself, and he is doing just that right now around the world!
Satan always tries to confuse Christians about their position before God. But if you have the Holy Spirit living inside of you, you can be secure and have assurance of salvation.
Man is naturally hostile toward God, but you do not have to stay that way. While we were yet hostile sinners toward God, He loved us and gave himself for us.
If you are a believer in Jesus, you are not helpless against sin. The Holy Spirit lives inside of you and enables you to fight!
Before Christ saved us, we were utterly powerless against the sin that so easily entangles us. But now, we have an entirely new position. In Christ we have strength to fight sin and live for God.
Union with Christ is more than you turning over a new leaf or making a decision to live a better life. It's the life of Jesus Christ flowing into you by the power of the Holy Spirit.
What is the reason for the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ? What significance do these things have for us today?
The death of Jesus actually accomplished something of infinite value for us. Our redemption.
This world is filled with troubles and strife. Jesus knew and experienced all of it. But He has also overcome the evil and trouble of this world, and since we are in Him we can have victory as well!
The righteousness of Christ is credited to our account by faith alone. We cannot earn it, because it was earned by Jesus himself, and is given to us freely.
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.
