This is an article that has been on my heart for a long time. I pray that it challenges your heart to seek HIM until you find that faith that truly pleases HIM! In YESHUA… Hebrews 11:6 “But without faith it is impossible to please (GOD), for he who comes to God must believe that [...]
What did Paul mean by his statement in 2 Corinthians 9:7 “And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.” Paul knew that “grace” from GOD was not to be a license to sin, but that [...]
Ever since I became a Christian I have been fascinated by the way that professing believers have defined (and redefined) the term and concept of “grace.” Some folks define it as a type of shield that protects them from the wrath of GOD, almost using it as a license to continue in their sinful lives.

When did “Grace” begin? Because many have mistakenly thought that John 1:17 says that “grace began with JESUS” or “at the cross”, I offer the following list of verses from the Old Testament Scriptures, using the word “grace” (as found in the NKJV).

Why did JESUS have to address these issues? Evidently there were rumors that HE was doing away with the Law…and possibly the Prophecies of the Scriptures. Why do we have to address this question?
