Almost immediately after God restored him, Abraham is plunged into another test, a test of friction with his nephew Lot. Listen as Reverend Eric Alexander expounds upon the lessons that Abraham learned from his previous experience of failure, and how God honored him as a result. Allow Abraham’s example to test our own faith and commitment in Hear the Word of God.
Those who are in Christ have been justified before God. But salvation means much more; it means that we are sanctified, that God actually leads us into holiness. As Michael Allen and company explain, our holiness is carried out in the present work of our sovereign, loving God. In Christ we are given life, not simply in name, but in fact. Praise the Lord, who delivers His children through every weakness. Though you struggle with sin, do not be discouraged; it is God who works in you, "both to will and to work for his good pleasure" (Phil. 2:13).
