Seven Compelling Truths Found In The Scriptures On Who You Are
Life can be quite challenging!!! And when it gets that way, there is a likelihood that frustration, despair, and anger will creep in. In times like this, we doubt our self-worth and even question our faith. Does this make us less Christians? Are we sinning and coming short of the glory of God? The answer is no. However, the advantage we have over those who are yet to make the proclamation of faith, is that we can anchor our faith and hope on God and His Word. Knowing that no matter the trials and temptations, what God says about us in His Word is all that matters.
Yet to find out what God says concerning you? Unaware of God’s love and grace towards you? Oblivious of who you are in Christ? Look no further!!!
