The commandments of our Lord are always in our best interest but that does not mean that they are always easy. Some of His commands are very difficult to follow. This is why the way that leads to life is so narrow (Matthew 7:13-14). The majority of people in the world will not obey Christ […]
Being in Christ is the best location in life. To be in Christ, is to be a part of His body, the church (Colossians 1:18). What are some of the benefits to be obtained in Christ? All of them! Ephesians 1:3 (ESV) 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who […]

God sent His Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to condemn sin in the flesh (Romans 8:3) The conquering of sin, however, required more than the manifestation of God’s Son in the flesh. Jesus […]
