Scripture

How important are sound doctrine and faith?

Very important — because what we believe shapes how we live.

Scripture warns us not to be “tossed to and fro” by every new idea, popular opinion, or false teaching. Instead, we are called to be firm in faith and to grow in truth toward Christ.

“We may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine…” (Eph. 4:14)

Sound doctrine gives us stability. Faith keeps us anchored. And both should lead us to grow up into Christ.

What is the legal demand due to God?

Scripture

What is the legal demand due to God?

Scripture shows that we are accountable to God and that sin leaves us with a debt we cannot cancel ourselves.

But Colossians 2 gives us the good news:

“He forgave us all our trespasses, by cancelling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands.” (Col. 2:13–14)

God’s standard is perfect obedience — and we fall short. Yet in Christ, the debt is cancelled.

What we could never repay, Jesus dealt with at the cross. ✝️

Do we understand mercy in light of judgement?

Do we understand mercy in light of judgment?

Scripture speaks seriously about judgment — but it also shows the greatness of God’s mercy.

Jesus said, “Whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life.” (John 5:24)

The contrast is clear: judgment is real, but in Christ there is life. Mercy is not God ignoring sin; it is God providing a way of salvation through his son. ✝️

From death to life. From judgment to mercy. Through Christ.

Can we earn our own salvation?

Scripture

Can we earn our own salvation?

Scripture’s answer is clear: no.

Salvation is not achieved through good deeds, religion, rules, or self-improvement. Christ came to save sinners, and eternal life is found in Him.

“The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners…” ( 1 Tim. 1:15)

Our hope is not in what we can do for God, but in what Christ has done for us. ✝️

Do we really understand grace?

Salvation, Scripture Explains /

Scripture

Do we really understand grace?

Grace is God giving what we could never earn and do not deserve.

“For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God…” (Eph. 2:8)

Salvation is not something we achieve through good works or personal effort. It is a gift from God, received through faith.

Grace leaves no room for boasting — only gratitude, humility, and love for the one who gave it. ❤️✝️
