Question: If Abraham was justified by
faith before the belief in Jesus, why did Jesus have to come down and die for
sins? How come people in the old testament couldn't just do the same like
Abraham to be justified. Why did Jesus have to die if there was already a way
to be saved like how Abraham was saved?

From a questioner: Dear [Volunteer], Thank you so much for
your reply! Thank you for your explanation. Yes, it makes sense and I am
encouraged by your words. They are kind and helpful for me. I am sorry that I
misunderstood it before. Praise the Lord. May God bless you. Thank you again!
From a questioner: Thank you so much for your prompt reply to my
question. It is helpful to know all food is clean but we need to be careful not
to cause anyone to stumble or to eat in such a way that we show we do not have
self-control. Thank you again. 
Thank you for praying! Here are some specific
requests for this month:
1. As mentioned above, most of the staff will be in
Israel October 7th through 18th. Please pray for our eyes
to be opened to what God has for us to see, our ears to be tuned to His Spirit,
and our hearts to be prepared to respond. Please pray for the entire traveling
group to relate well to one another, form bonds, and enjoy sharing lasting
memories. Please, of course, also pray for travel safety and good health.
Please pray for those who will not be going to Israel, particularly 
"Listen to me, O house of Jacob,
all the remnant of the house of Israel,
who have been borne by me from before your birth,
carried from the womb;
even to your old age I am he,
and to gray hairs I will carry you.
I have made, and I will bear;
I will carry and will save. …
Remember this and stand firm,
recall it to mind, you transgressors,
remember the former things of old;
for I am God, and there

Question: I am doing a bible study of
Romans. I had a question about Romans 8:17 which says we will share in His
glory. I read the article from “Got Questions - What does it mean to be
co-heirs with Christ?” Then I read your article - Why will God not give His glory
to another? (Isaiah 42:8) ? The article states, “He will not share it (His
glory) with anyone”. 
From a questioner: Your answers are wonderful and inciteful,
my utmost thanks to those who do the research and share their wisdom! One of
the things I find so valuable is the reference to scripture woven within the
answers...when I find my mind straying, I use your site to set it back on a
better path. Your site is that powerful. (period and job well done!) I refer it
to nearly everyone I know.
From a questioner: Thank you
for your kind response. It means the world to me. I am so happy right now that
I could shout “Hallelujah
