Life without Christ is darkness. But when Jesus sovereignly “springs up” in the heart of one of God’s children, Light then dwells where there was once utter darkness!
No matter who is in the White House, or what terrorist group seeks to wipe us out, or what story the media attempts to frighten you with, remember this – Jesus declared that the prophecy of the Messiah was fulfilled. That means… JESUS REIGNS!
The gospel is how we come to discover and understand what God has done for us. It sets us free to love God out of pure thankfulness and not fear of condemnation!
Gospel faith is dependent upon the presence of the “measure of faith” given in the new birth. But the faith given in the new birth is independent of our expressions of gospel faith.
