§14
How is faith different from hope?

Now, hope is one thing and faith is another. Faith is a positive sense. It’s not a guesswork; you don’t just imagine it. It’s just as real as any other sense of your body, just the same as sight is. Sight is real. Hearing is real. See, taste, feel, smell, and hear, the five senses of the body that control the body, the...

§16
What did Jesus use to defeat Satan when He was tempted?

When Jesus…We all believe He was the Son of God. Is that right? We accept Him as the Son of God. And He was more than a man; God was in Jesus. God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself.

You’re not…You do not…You’re not destroyed or separated from God because you’re a sinner. You’re separated to God—from God because you refuse to walk...

§52
