Righteous, Not Perfect: What the Bible Actually Says

Understanding Biblical Righteousness: Faithful Obedience, Not Sinless Perfection We’ve all heard the phrase, “Practice makes perfect.” Of course, no one ever truly achieves perfection – the saying is meant to highlight that improvement comes through action. The more we do something, the better we get at it. While it’s often used in sports, music, or work, it carries a spiritual truth as well. In God’s…

“It Is Finished” – But What Was Finished?

“He didn’t say, ‘I am finished.’ He said it was.” When Jesus cried out, “It is finished” (John 19:30), many take it to mean the entire plan of salvation was completed at that moment.

What if God’s greatest work isn’t just saving you – but preparing you for something eternal? God has always worked with flawed people. From David’s contrite heart to Moses’ reluctant leadership, from Abraham’s moments of fear to Peter’s impulsive loyalty – perfection was never the requirement. But a willingness to follow, to grow, and to be changed – that’s what God can work with. So…

Salvation Reframed: From Scorecard to Spiritual Family

For centuries, debates over salvation have divided Christian thought. Some argue for “once saved, always saved,” while others warn that salvation can be lost. Still others accuse those who emphasize righteous living of trying to “earn” their salvation. But what if these debates all stem from a flawed premise? What if the very way Christianity frames salvation misses the point entirely? The Debate Over Salvation:…

This idea is deeply embedded in popular end-times teachings, prophetic charts, and even Christian fiction. But is it actually what the Bible says?
