Recently we’ve been discussing sanctification, and how we become more like Christ and sin less. Mike is about to underscore that if we’re going to proceed in the right direction, in this whole matter of sanctification, we need to be absolutely clear about the finished work of Christ that secured our justification. He points out that all of our sanctification stems from a right understanding of justification.
True courage is rare. And when we see it, we may question our own spiritual resolve when we are confronted or censored. The early church thrived not despite opposition, but through it and Christians today are facing increased attacks to their faith that may cost them something in their lives.
Learn how the courageous stories of men and women of faith can bolster your confidence to stand up when you face opposition.
