The Gift of God Gives Us

"We understand that faith and faithfulness go together, which includes obedience to Christ," he says. "If we don't believe in him, it's not that Jesus comes and say, all right, I got you."

But through the grace of God given to us in our baptism and then confirmed in faith, now, my friends, we can stand with God.
