God’s Law

He is a Jew, which is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God (Romans 2:29).

God’s law is His word,  it’s His written instructions for believers to adhere too. Many think because of grace, we’re no longer under the law. Through Jesus, grace was given so that we would not receive what we deserve when we sin. In order to express His nature (holiness, truth and justice), God must punish sin. Since sin personally offends God, no one should be surprised that sin makes God angry. To deny His anger is to reject the necessity of Christ’s reconciling work on the cross. Read More

God’s Love

What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us – Romans 8:31.

The word these things refer to God’s purpose. If God has done everything from foreknowledge to glorification for us, all adversaries are powerless. Satan tries to influence us that God has forsaken us, or He doesn’t love us, but God’s love never changes. His love is past, present and future. Weapons may be formed, but they will not prosper against us.

For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God. – 1st Peter 4:17

This isn’t the final judgment, but God’s refining discipline. God often allow believers to sin and the consequences of their sin to take its course. He does this for several reasons: To show us our potential for sinning, to encourage us to turn from sin and more constantly depend on Him, to prepare us to face other, even stronger temptations in the future and to help us stay faithful and keep trusting Him.
