Adele is awesome. I don’t know how someone can not like her.
Martel, the Christian Rapper.
Gaetano Martello. Christian rapper with the stage name Martel. No poetic explanation of my blog, nothing fake here. I'm an impatient, ridiculous, evil sinner who doesn't deserve the grace of God I've received through the gospel.
And I'm with Maerin.

Deductive argument for penal substitution
God’s wrath is revealed against all sin (Romans 1:18) and therefore against the unredeemed man (John 3:36), as we are sinful by nature and through our actions (Romans 5:12, Ephesians 2:3, Romans 3:23).
On the cross, Jesus became sin on our behalf (Romans 8:3, Galatians 3:13, 2 Corinthians 5:21).
- Therefore, Jesus bore the wrath of God on our behalf while on the cross. (Romans 5:9, Colossians 2:13-14).

These Doctrines of Grace
Man, as a result of the fall has so drastically been infected by sin that it affects every part of his being. Man now hates God and will not turn to Him because man is so enslaved to wickedness. His will is so bound to sin that everything he does is motived by and results in sin.
Now God would have been perfectly just to leave all of humanity in this state and condemn them all to eternal punishment and separation from His goodness, but He sovereignly chose to impart grace and mercy upon part of humanity and give them to His Son as a bride, all to His glory.
So, in order to declare these men just, God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to earth to live a perfect life and die, on behalf of all those whom He had chosen for salvation, taking upon Himself the wrath and punishment that belonged to the chosen ones.
Now, the Holy Spirit draws these men unto God, regenerating them and giving them the gifts of faith and repentance. He changes them and turns their hearts to God and applies to them the benefits of the sacrifice of Christ.
And, these whom God has chosen, justified, and regenerated will be kept safely in His hands until the day when they are taken away to the glorious presence of God. They will struggle, stumble, and be discouraged, but God will not lose any of them and will uphold them with His mighty hand.
A lot of people are ex-Calvinists because they wanted to no longer be part of a majority, but congratulations, there are like 8 of us now lmao

“Community is only as strong as what it’s built upon. And nothing is as strong as the gospel. The gospel is the deepest foundation for community. What connects believers is the reality that we were all very messed up people, broken before a holy God, yet rescued and given new life in Christ. What unites believers is deeper than anything that can divide.”
Matt Chandler, Creature of the Word
“And we [Christians], too, being called by His will in Christ Jesus, are not justified by ourselves, nor by our own wisdom, or understanding, or godliness, or works which we have wrought in holiness of heart; but by that faith through which, from the beginning, Almighty God has justified all men; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.”
Clement of Rome (c. 30-100)

“Do not be mismatched with unbelievers. For what partnership is there between righteousness and lawlessness? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness? What agreement does Christ have with Belial? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? And what agreement does God’s sanctuary have with idols? For we are the sanctuary of the living God, as God said: I will dwell among them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be My people. Therefore, come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord; do not touch any unclean thing, and I will welcome you. I will be a Father to you, and you will be sons and daughters to Me, says the Lord Almighty.”
2 Corinthians 6:14-18
