Steeping in the Word

Christ is the end of the law for righteousness--if we trust in His righteousness!

God gives us His own righteousness, we cannot achieve it. 

God's grace is undeserved, as we see in the book of Hosea.

I'm back (finally!!) Let God be God!

What God says goes. We can only bring gifts to him that he has given to us. We are faithful because he favors us.

The people of God are those who are children of God by faith and by his favor.

Thinking about God's work in sinful human hearts takes vast amounts of humility that only the gospel can supply.

Christ interrupts our thinking about who we love and how we love.

The Christian lives life by knowing Christ has conquered the world, and it is powerless to separate us from his love.

What shall we say then? God is Victorious in all things.

God has already accomplished the highest good for us--the salvation of our souls--through the most evil thing that has ever happened--the death of his Son.

Not only does God save us from death, his Spirit that dwells within us prays on our behalf when we can't find the words.

Waiting eagerly and patiently for new life in Christ points our dying world to him and his good purposes.

God preserved his creation through a time of futility for redemption, rather than destroying it.

In this episode, we sprint through Romans up to chapter eight to see how far we've come.

Suffering is the Christian life. We look to Christ who suffered so that we might have life in his name. We suffer for the everlasting joy that is set before us.

Salvation is of the Lord.

The same miraculous power that raised Christ from the dead is exactly what it takes to save a sinner--and that powerful Spirit dwells in the hearts of those who follow Christ.

Following God is a matter of loving him more than yourself. Understanding what Christ has done is the only way to love him more.

We should look to God to direct our life.
