I pray that today we would all know God better; in a way that is more robust and meaningful than at anytime in our lives. God is three co-equal and co-eternal persons; the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit, known as the Trinity. May the eyes of our hearts be opened so we can understand…

Just like with grace, peace is not just an attribute of God, but Jesus Himself. Jesus is grace (“grace appeared”), Jesus is peace (“He Himself is our peace”); Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. All that is good in this world exists because Jesus is its origin and foundation. Our world needs…

However, the need to work hard to have dominion over God’s creation is not the example of salvation found in the Scriptures; working and laboring to earn God’s favor and salvation.

He was hand picked by Jesus in a post resurrection appearance to be an apostle (Acts 9:1-19) and was primarily responsible for both the grace message of salvation and Gentile missions (Galatians 2:2).

The will of God can be confusing for some Christians because they have a misunderstanding of God’s sovereignty. Though God’s will may be mysterious at times, it is a mystery that can be uncovered via our relationship with Jesus (Colossians 1:26). God has always intended for His people to know and understand both His will…
