For this purpose the Son of God was m…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Oct. 06 2008,13:24)Hi 94, Good works in Christ are the natural fruit of the vine.They cannot save us as we are reliant on the righteousness of the vine.It is only because we are in the body of Christ that we know of the good works that we do as Christians, but since even when we obey we make mistakes, it is only by the blood…[Read more]
