What good would it do to redeem man from his sins and not change his heart where all sins begin? Paul wrote to the church in Rome asking a very important question to those who had been redeemed by the blood of Christ. “What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so ...
“Knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, 19but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ.” (1 Peter 1:18-19) The word “redeem” means to “buy back”.

Peace! It’s something all men seek. How wonderful would peace be to those people in war torn areas of the world. How sad it is that there are millions of people who do not know what it is to lay their head down at night in peace and tranquility. Worse yet, is the multitudes of ...
In Romans 1:1-4 we read, “1Paul, a bond-servant of Christ Jesus, called as an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, 2which He promised beforehand through His prophets in the holy Scriptures, 3concerning His Son, who was born of a descendant of David according to the flesh, 4who was declared the Son of God ...
Sin is man’s universal problem. “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23) Simply put, we are not fit for God’s presence as sinners.

Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth
We are told, “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth.” (2 Timothy 2:15 – NASB).
