In this video, I talk through 2 Corinthians chapter 5 and explain how to actually be pleasing to God. Can you earn righteousness through works? Or is it only available by faith? 2 Corinthians 5:21 says, “He made Him who knew no sin to be sin in our behalf, so that we might become the…
No matter what you’re dealing with today, whether it’s a mistake or a hardship, God’s grace is available for you right now. When we brought nothing to the table, God brought His best. #graceofGod #graceandtruth Posted by Troy Black on Friday, June 15, 2018.
