Why Did He Have to Die

Joshua 7:10-12 10 So the Lord said to Joshua, “Rise up! Why is it that you have fallen on your face? 11 Israel has sinned, and they have also transgressed My covenant which I commanded them.

Our Purpose Has Requirements
Or what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; just as God said, “I will dwell in them and walk among them ; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people . “Therefore, come out from their midst and be separate … Continue reading
Who Are You With?
