Exposition of 1 Corinthians 7:17–31 Our status is in Christ
1 Corinthians 7:17–31 17 Nevertheless, each person should live as a believer in whatever situation the Lord has assigned to them, just as God has called them. This is the rule I lay down in all the churches. 18 Was … Continue reading
Exposition of Romans 4:16–17 Grace toward all — faith from all

Exposition of Romans 3:29–31 One God for all by faith
