God can make those who died in Adam alive in Christ!

Jesus showed his power to raise the physically dead to life in order to point to his power to raise the spiritually dead to life!

We who believe are alive in Christ! But, we were dead in Adam first.

Jesus is both our priest and our sacrifice; He makes us right with God and intercedes with Him on our behalf.

Justification touches every part of a beliver's life. It redeems our past, informs our present, and determines our future.

We who believe have hope in Christ and so we need not fear the wrath of God, because we have been reconciled to Him by the death of Jesus Christ.

The promise made to Abraham by God is fulfilled in the faith of each believer. Those who have faith like Abraham's are his true children and heirs to the promise.

Abraham was justified before God by faith before he was circumcised and apart from works of the law.

The Patriarch David is both dead and buried, but The Lord Jesus Christ, though he died, is alive and He is Lord of the living and the dead! We, though we may die, will live and are heirs with Christ to the same kind of glorified body which He now has.

Paul urges the Roman believers to find thier identity in Christ crucified, where boasting is excluded, Gentiles are included, and God's law is upheld.

God is the one who has begun our salvation, and He will complete it, even though we are imperfect.

The righteousness of faith is the perfect and imputed righteousness of Christ, given to us in mercy by God apart from the Law, and not the righteous works which we have done. Thus we come to God with open and empty hands to receive His gift of Justification, which is accomplished on our behalf by the life and death of Christ.

God is the Creater and Owener of all things, and you are called to serve Him with the posessions He has given you.

Yes, man is corrupt and totally unable to be righteous and to please God, but it is God that provides the righteousness we need through the gift of faith in Jesus Christ. Only in this way, can the sinner be justified before God.

Total depravity means that every part of man is corrupted to some extent by the effects of sin and he has no ability in himself to pursue godliness.

Regardless of good deeds that we might do, all people stand rightfully accused and guilty of sin before God and our good deeds cannot help us.

Paul regards the privileges of being a Jew as fruitless if one trusts in them as the grounds of ones acceptance before a holy God.

He is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh; but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit...

God's judgement and wrath against sin is righteous, but God is not only our Judge, but also our Advocate!

The love and salvation of God is full and complete and by His strength, we will not be lost!

God does not show his faithfulness with material blessings, but rather, with santifying grace.
