As it was once explained to me-Abraham placed his faith in what God was going to do. Paul placed his faith in what God had done.

From Genesis to Revelation - Everyone is saved by the FAITH, Through Grace of God.

Thank God for teachers like this!!! God bless!

I accepted the Lord's salvation when I was 13 years old went on to live a rotten life because of poor mentorship.... Many years later came into the Messianic Jewish faith... But I see now they just have as many troubles as all denominations and I must return to my first love.... This is a pure teaching

Such a good panorama of the Bible. Thank you so much for expounding on this.

[jackuber]

Thank you, Dr Gentry. That was a wonderful portrayal of the tremendous grace of God in the face of our sin.

[joezagamejr.]

This is an excellent explanation: clear, efficient, and complete. Thank you!

The most wise man among theologians I have listen to, I mean in this page.

I agreed with the one who commented that he happened upon this channel by chance, yet, as with me, God has a way of leading those unto His truth to those who desires it. Therefore; we happened upon this channel by the grace of God, through faith in Him who alone knows the desire of our hearts. He truly never loves us comfort - less. May we continue to seek after the righteousness of God through faith in Him who lives.

Great words you shared! Yes, God has consistently operated according to judgement, mercy/grace and faith, from beginning to end! Sacrifices were repeatedly offered, not because they didn’t take away guilt but because the people kept sinning, and therefore guilt was always around. That Hebrews passage directly talks about the writing of God’s law on our hearts and of actually doing God’s will, in addition to forgiveness, in explaining how repeated sacrifices for guilt will no longer be needed. Or was God lying when He said He would recognize the animal sacrifices and actually forgive people? If a person still felt guilty, that was not the fault of the sacrifice, the priest, the law or God—but of their own lack of faith in what God Himself directly said. Thanks!

Thank you so much for this video and for your teachers that explain things so well. As credible as they are along with their credentials, it is simplified to where anyone can understand it. That is a true blessing from God. Keep fighting the good fight.

This has so blessed me... "the continuity" of the OT sacrifices was a "message to the ancient Israelites that this was not the answer itself". Love this

[susiwakeman]

Southern Baptist is still reigning when it comes of interpretation. ☝️📖☕🌿

[jonsaboe]

Thanks! The lamb was slain before the foundation of the world -- so all humanity throughout all time could take advantage Christ's atonement -- although it DID have to eventually occur in time and space.

Ephesians 2:8-9: 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.
