Our Faith Compared [Romans]
As Paul draws to the conclusion of his lengthy discussion of Abraham as the model of justifying faith, he underscores the fact that Christian faith corresponds exactly to Abraham’s faith in its effect (imputation) and its object (life from death). If we believe like Abraham, we will be justified like Abraham.

Charge Certain Men [1 Timothy]
1 Tim 1.3-4
Our second message in the Pastoral epistles looks at Paul’s first instructions to Timothy.
