1 Corinthians 15.57

Romans 8.38-39 is very assuring to the believer.

Hebrews 1 says that the Lord Jesus 'by Himself purged our sins'. This presupposes the immense need for sins to be purged at the Cross. And our dependence on His doing exactly that in a perfect way for time and for eternity.

Good response. It's basic to John 3.16...

To paraphrase the verse: do you equal and meet the glory of a holy God?

Romans 3.23 is a plain statement of Scripture.

@Christophany PS: Maybe Mrs. Christophany wasn't really surprised either that your daughters did it too....? (I saw a quote about just how prevalent tattoos are among young ppl in the Bible Belt now.)

Oh thanks, of course, yes.....

@Christophany So does he write on similar evidentialist themes?

Excellent questions there....

@Christophany All 4 of them; so the girls did it, too...I reckon you weren't really surprised that they would. Nowadays it's done with such social confidence that a lot of younger Christians especially - not least women - seem to avail themselves of faith based ink which does work as a...
