Man’s dead traditions can never replace God’s living truth.

If you are a follower of Jesus, heaven and not earth is your home.

Our actions often impact more than our words.

Do not carry baggage from people who have wronged you.

Let me put it another way. The law was our guardian and teacher to lead us until Christ came. So now, through faith in Christ, we are made right with God.

knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.

I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain."

As it is written: "There is none righteous, no, not one;

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

10 As the Scriptures say, "No one is good-- not even one. 11 No one has real understanding; no one is seeking God. 12 All have turned away from God; all have gone wrong. No one does good, not even one."

For all have sinned; all fall short of God's glorious standard.

And when the blood of Your martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by consenting to his death, and guarding the clothes of those who were killing him.'

But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.

Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more,

God's law was given so that all people could see how sinful they were. But as people sinned more and more, God's wonderful kindness became more abundant.

And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?"
