This passage has always encouraged me in my walk with the Lord. "His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness" (2 Peter 1:3). Before coming to Christ, we had an emptiness inside of us. The reason is that we didn't have life itself. But now through faith in Jesus Christ we have everything we need to live the abundant life to the full. All this is the result of God's grace through Jesus Christ.

• Clay in Texas asks about Malachi 3:10. Why do pastors use that passage instead of teaching the grace of giving.
• Duane in Ft Worth heard a message where the teacher said if a person doesn't reach out to others with the news of Jesus, they would lose their salvation. Is that correct?
• Gregory asks what is the third purpose of the law?

Paul said "sin will have no dominion over you for you are not under law but under grace." We are no match for sin's power; it takes resurrection power. Through Jesus' resurrection power, we have escaped the grip of sin. We are now operating by grace through faith

Thanks to all who attended the conference. It was a very special event. We got to meet many people who watch us online. I got to share Galatians 2:20 which is really a summary of all we teach. "I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me."

Exodus chapter 33 lays out the interaction between the Lord and Moses. New Testament writers refer back to this relationship to share with us what we have in Christ Jesus. In this passage is full of substance relating to the very presence of Christ in us, the hope of glory.

One of the areas that religion has it all wrong is righteousness. Righteousness is God's to give and not ours to earn. Religion claims that we can earn it. But that's not how righteousness works. Aren't you glad? "But now apart from the Law the righteousness of God has been revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, but it is the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; ..." Romans 3:21-26

God has taken the initiate to reach out to us through his love and grace. We have a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. But we see religious practices - man trying to reach up to God - all over the world. However what we learn in Scripture is that God has taken the initiative towards us and provides His righteousness to us. No longer in the flesh, we now live in the spirit.

Where did these manmade religions come into being? We need to go back to the beginning... to the story of Adam and Eve and the fall. Upon finding themselves naked they sewed fig leaves together and made loin cloths. They were trying to cover their shame from God. But it didn't work. Only God was able to make the provision for their sin and for ours.

• The people who were baptized by Philip in water in "the name" of Jesus Christ, were they saved? Or, were they saved only after John and Peter laid their hands on them to receive the Holy Spirit?
