False gospels do not require you to overcome sin, but they sure are popular! Will a full page of 10 proof verses be enough, or do you require 5 pages of 50 verses? “If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having two hands, to go...

Of course, this is not my idea … it is what John 14 says! John 14 (NLT): 15 If you love me, obey my commandments. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you. 17 He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. The world cannot receive him...

True Grace “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9) From all of the NT, we need to understand that God’s grace is given when believers INITIALLY receive the precious Holy Spirit...
