At the first Passover (Exodus 12) a lamb was killed and its blood was placed on the doorframe of every Jewish home. This was so God would &#8220;pass over&#8221; the homes of his people and spare the lives of their firstborn sons. The day God passed over the Jewish homes in Egypt has been celebrated for thousands of [...]]]></description>

Romans 5:1, &#8220;Therefore, since we have been made right in God&#8217;s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us.&#8220;
Our faith produces two things in us:

It justifies us
Gives us peace with God

God credits us with righteousness when we believe in Him who raised Christ from [...]]]></description>

Genesis 12:4
&#8220;So Abram left&#8221;&#8230;
Abram took the risk. He exercised his faith and left Haran for Canaan. God made 3 promises to Abram: 1) He promised a great land, 2) a great nation, and 3) a great name. God promised to bless Abram and promised that Abram would be a blessing to others. On one condition&#8230;that [...]]]></description>

I was reading through Matthew 5, the beginning of the sermon on the mount and discovered a connection between Matthew 5:3-12 and the remainder of the chapter.
Jesus begins the sermon with the beatitudes &#8211; they show us who we are to be, our character, what&#8217;s on the inside. Then he lays out examples of how [...]]]></description>

Read through Genesis 3 today. According to the passage temptation begins with a question: What will it hurt?, Did God really say &#8220;no&#8221; to this?, Why?, Who will it hurt?
Questions raise Doubt
Doubt produces Deception
Deception changes Perspective
Perspective increases Desire
Desire leads to Action
Action results in Shame
Shame causes Cover-up
Cover-up forces Hiding
Thankfully, God offers redemption when we cross the [...]]]></description>

1 Corinthians 8:1-3, &#8220;Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. 2 The man who thinks he knows something does not yet know as he ought to know. 3 But the man who loves God is known by God.&#8221;
