Having justified man by redemption through faith that unites the soul to Jesus Christ, God accomplishes another very important purpose - He returns man to the original meaning for which he was created. In Jesus Christ, the saved soul finds reconciliation with God and gains access to the glory of the perfect person, the Creator and Ruler of the universe. This radically changes man's position, determining a new direction for his entire life.

Gospel: The Power to Triumph in Hardship

November 24, 2024 • Alexey Kolomiytsev • Romans 8:31–39

God made sure that those saved by His Son could have all the necessities of life and godliness. One of these necessities is to have the strength to overcome the hardship we face in life. Various experiences, difficulties in life, persecution, and direct attacks from the devil constitute the reality of believing people's lives on earth. To persevere through them and emerge victorious requires supernatural strength, which comes to us through the gospel of Jesus Christ.
