Learn about righteousness by faith in the Old Testament and how it was obtained apart from works. Sacrifices and other works were a testimony of the righteousness already obtained by faith, and justification always came through faith apart from works. Works were simply a sign of righteousness, not the means of obtaining it. Faith changes the course of one’s life, and people in the Old Testament lived by a vision in faith.

Discover how the Bible teaches that righteousness has always been by faith apart from works, even in the Old Testament.

Ultimately, it is faith in Christ that secures right standing with God, never a mix of faith and works.

1 – (1:1-8) Taking the Religion out of Philippians – Christ as Satisfaction I love to go to these books that are usually presented in a religious way and bring a fresh perspective to them. Usually, the way people talk about Philippians is as if Paul is a pattern of having a “good attitude”. They

No Comparisons and Demands In the last message we covered what it really means to “Work out your salvation”. Again, Paul is not talking about Eternal Salvation.
