But For Us Also
But For Us Also – by Joseph A. Cortes I Peter 1: 18 reads, “Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers…” [That still applies today, traditions from our fathers, traditions that we make up.] “…but with the precious blood …
Imputeth Righteousness Without Works
Imputeth Righteousness Without Works – by Joseph A. Cortes Romans 4:6. It reads, “Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works…” Circle imputeth. What does the word imputeth mean?

No One Was Found Worthy – by Joseph A. Cortes Romans 4:5, “But to him that worketh not, but believeth [pisteuo; have trust and confidence] on him [Jesus Christ] that justifieth the ungodly”—[it is God who justifies me, you and all sinners]—“his faith,” [his trust and confidence that God can do that for us] “is counted for righteousness.” These aren’t my words; …

While We Were Yet Sinners – by Joseph A. Cortes Romans 5:8. It reads, “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” It reads, “while we were yet sinners.” Sinners.

Grace Is Unmerited Favor
Grace Is Unmerited Favor – by Joseph A. Cortes Ephesians 2:8 reads. “For by grace,” [for by unmerited favor] “are ye saved…” “Are you saying grace is it?” Yes. I know some of the new funky preaching that is going on out there differs with that, but you know, they have a right to be wrong. “For …
Damnable Heresy!
Damnable Heresy – by Joseph A. Cortes II Tim. 2:19, “Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, havingthis seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his.

Not Of Yourselves
Not Of Yourselves – by Joseph A. Cortes Ephesians 2:8 reads, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.” Eternal life is a take proposition.
