Why do we need salvation ?
Have you ever imagined what Adam and Eve’s lives looked like before they sin ? We don’t know much but we surely know a few fundamental things from Genesis 2: After they sinned, their situation changed radically. We see in Genesis 3 the consequences of their sin : The verb “to die” is used for…

Resist the devil
Sometimes, it gets difficult to resist the devil and we fall into temptation. The temptation is then followed by guilt, at least for me. I start thinking about how in the world I ended up doing such a thing. This becomes a recurring thing to the point that some of us distance ourselves from God…

We are children of God (1 John 3)
See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! (1 John 3:1) If you have received Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you are a child of God! We often tend to take this statement lightly but let’s try to go deeper…

Remain in Him (1 John 2)
As for you, see that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father. 25 And this is what he promised us—eternal life. (1 John 2: 24-25) If you have known him and accepted Him (Jesus) as your Lord and Savior I pray…
