What does it mean to believe?

        Believe…what does it mean to believe? John 3:16-17, “(16) For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. (17) For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” That’s a big promise, but what does “believe” mean?

Acceptable and Pleasing

Posted on by

There is a growing misunderstanding today in Christian circles where God’s pleasure in us is being linked to His acceptance of us in Christ. These two are very different subjects.

This approval finds its expression in a state of relationship […]
