1. The true religious experience of knowing the one and only living God in and through His Christ Jesus, produces true enlightenment.
  2. We know how we stand before God, justified, or made just by Jesus’ blood. But there is a future reality too. We certainly will be saved in His judgment because we are justified.
  3. Paul says he would inherit the entire world, not merely a little plot of land between Egypt and Syria. This is what God is after in the Messiah: All people and the entire Earth.
  4. You are part of a new type of humanity, let loose into the world through the life, death, and resurrection of King Jesus.
  5. The Transfiguration means no one must wait in uncertainty and darkness for the morning star to (re)appear.
  6. The Corinthians were making mud pies, playing with imaginary friends, and blindly following know-it-alls who were leading them into theological and moral pitfalls.
  7. Let us not recoil at the sight and sound of the crucifixion. It is the battlefield of victory. It is the throne of the King. It is the symbol of salvation.

  11. The word which justifies by bringing faith in baptism is the same powerful word that recreates, regenerates, and re-births a human being in baptism.
  12. Why is it important for us to confess and remember the virgin birth? It is important because of its place within the total story of redemption.
