The sum of Thy word is truth--psalm 119:160

About Me

--"as in Adam all die, so in CHRIST shall all be MADE ALIVE."
-1 Corinthians 15:22
--"for this is ideal and welcome in the sight of our Saviour, God, Who wills that ALL mankind be saved and come into a realization of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave Himself a ransom for all to be testified in due time."
-1 Timothy 2:3-6
--"he is a propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world."
-1 John 2:2
--"it is GOD Who is operating in you to will as well as to work for the sake of HIS delight."
-Phillipians 2:13
--"who are you, to be sure, who are answering again to God? That which is molded will not protest to the molder, 'Why do you make me thus?' Or has not the potter the right over the clay, out of the same kneading to make one vessel, indeed, for honor, yet one for dishonor?"
-Romans 9:20-21
