Highlight Justification and sanctification. Large words with impactful theological meaning. Justification is “the act by which God moves a willing person from the state of sin (injustice) to the state of grace (justice).” When someone first comes to know God and makes the first declaration of faith and is forgiven of all sins. Sanctification is “the state or process of being set apart.” This is the daily asking for sins to be forgiven and the daily request for the Holy Spirit to transform you to be more like Jesus.  Read More

When Jesus comes, He simplifies the law by saying “'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is similar: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” (Matthew 22:37-40).  Read More
