Labor Instead of Vanity
Recently I was on YouTube and saw a lot of videos claiming to show schemes to get rich quick.

Today is All You Have
James 4:13-15 (WT) Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we shall go to this city here and spend one year there, where we shall trade and make a profit.” You do not know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are, in fact, a vapor that appears for a short time…

Romans 9:30-10:13 What shall we say then? The Gentiles, who did not pursue justness, attained justness, even the justness that is from believing. However, Israel, who pursued a law of justice, did not reach to the law. Why? Because they pursued it not from believing but as from works. They stumbled at the stone of…

By Grace, Not by Works
Ephesians 2:8-9 By grace, you have certainly been saved through believing, and this salvation is not from yourselves. It is the offering of God. It is not of our works so that no one may boast. Romans 11:6 Now if it is by grace, then it is no longer from works. Otherwise grace becomes no…

WE’RE JUSTIFIED BY BELIEVING!
What then? Are we better than they? Not at all, for we previously indicted both Judeans and Greeks, that they are all under sin, as it has been written, “No one is just, no, not one.”….Now we know that whatever the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every…
