Bible Quote by Jay E. Adams

“The word grace has several meanings in the Bible, one of which is help. The Holy Spirit gives help when His people read His Word and then step out by faith to do as He says. He does not promise to strengthen unless they do so; the power often comes in the doing.” quote by Jay E. Adams — Download Open image

“The fourth response is Christian: “It can be solved through Christ.” Notice that the first three responses leave the problem intact and as a result the person and his course of activity is changed.
