The Faithfulness of God
Romans 3:3-4 The second possible objection that could be raised to what Paul said in chapter 2 is that perhaps God is unfaithful if indeed members of His Old Covenant people can be lost. We see instead that God is Truth itself and that He will inevitably be vindicate
He Who Believes Will Not be Disappointed
Isaiah 28:16 We take another look at the Lord Jesus Christ as the chosen and precious Cornerstone. We see how he is described in Isaiah and in Peter, where this passage is quoted. We admire the qualities of our Savior that make Him such a precious, valuable, chosen an
