Is there anything like eternal security?  We are going to talk about something that bothers a lot of Christians. Many of whom are veterans but can’t answer this simple question with all boldness; “Do you know if you are going to make heaven?” The essence of this post is to explore if there is any scriptural truth to this doctrine. I pray that the eyes of your understanding be enlightened as you read in Jesus name, Amen. What does eternal security mean? Eternal security is a doctrine which states that a believer’s salvation once received, cannot be lost. It entails that a believer’s salvation has an eternal nature as it is a gift which is secured by one party (Jesus Christ). What does it mean to be saved? In order to understand the doctrine of Eternal Security, we must delve into what security means. In this context, security means salvation .

Is Christianity a religion? When we fill forms we are asked questions such as male or female, Muslim or Christian, Black or White and other questions to categorise who we are.

Dead works versus good works Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog. I want to use this medium to say thank you for always being here, it means the world to me. So last week, Favour and I talked about  righteousness as a free gift of God . I hope this helped you reflect deeply about this notion of being righteous. If your head ever gets too big about how far you have come in the things of the kingdom, always remind yourself that everything is by God’s grace! There is nothing powered or inspired by you. In my last post, I talked about how praying, fasting, serving in church, and evangelising can all be dead works if the doer has not accepted Jesus into their lives. It does not matter how much tithe you pay, how long you have had a big position at your church or how many people you have led to Christ. God doesn’t have any business with you unless you have business with Christ. It's all dead works without eternal value. How can we define dead works? In simple ...

If you haven’t read it yet, check it out before going any further. For today’s post, I worked with a dear friend and sister in Christ to expatiate point 5 (Righteousness of God) from last week’s post .  I am super excited about this! Today, we shall be discussing the free gift of righteousness. Have you seen where a person in the society who does great work, gives to the needy and is kind to a fault is being described as a righteous man or a saint?

What is righteousness? Righteousness is a state of one being upright, free from all guilt, being right in deeds and conducts. According to scriptures, there are two types of righteo...
