Jesus is called the Lamb of God and the Last Adam. These two titles help us understand how Jesus’ death paid the penalty for our sin. As the Lamb of God, He fulfilled the Law as the perfect sacrifice....

The doctrine of the perseverance of the saints affirms that God protects and preserves Christians—His saints (“holy ones”)—for eternity and causes their faith to persevere to the end....

Evidence of our sinful nature is all around us. People steal, so we have locks and passwords. People lie, so we have courts and judges. People kill each other, so we have police and militaries....
