For the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God” (Rom 8:20-21), but before believers were saved, they too were held in bondage….the bondage of sin, and a bondage as...

What 3 things can the believer do that may bring on spiritual attacks from the enemy? Obedience Why do demons attack? What does the Bible say the reason is?

The account of Jesus healing a blind man named Bartimaeus is similar to how a person is saved. The Gospel I’ve heard it said that repentance and faith are two sides of the same coin, and that coin refers to salvation, and when we read the gospels, we read about repentance and faith.

No Christian is perfect, but there are certain things that believers should look for in their lives. First John 1 The Book of 1 John may be one of the greatest self-diagnostic tools a believer has in their Bible.

Salvation Jesus Christ introduced the gospel by saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel” (Mark 1:15), so apparently, repentance and faith are two sides of the same coin that allow us to receive eternal life, and this is received only through Jesus Christ (John 6:44; Acts 4:12). Salvation is... Read more
