You Own A Certificate Of Acquittal – Part 2 of 2

The Bible teaches that justification by faith is the only way to achieve certainty of salvation, and that believers can rejoice in their acquittal before God. This is because Jesus' death and resurrection provide a certificate of acquittal, guaranteeing that believers will be taken to heaven despite their sins. The security of the believer is rooted in God's justification of those who trust in Jesus, and believers can find assurance in the fact that God will not condemn them. Ultimately, salvation is a free gift from Jesus, and believers must receive it as such to experience redemption and eternal life. [... more]

When the Rooster Crows (Part 2 of 2)

The life of faith can't be built on the promises we make to Christ, but rather on the promises Jesus has made to us. We must beware of self-ignorance and the posture that says we could never do what Peter did, but the seeds of every sin are latent in our hearts and may spring to life. Jesus' love and restoration are available to us, even after we've fallen, and we can arise and return to our Father with a deep-seated joy. [... more]
