Miracles of World War II

Scripture testifies of God’s miraculous intervention in the affairs of nations and individuals, and experience confirms it, sometimes in ways that seem obvious.

The Path To Salvation—Part 3

The Bible teaches that God has a plan of salvation for mankind. What does that mean, and why is a plan of salvation necessary? What is it that human beings need to be saved from? If there is a “plan of salvation,” what is it? Are there specific steps to be followed on the path to salvation?

What is the blessing? It’s truth.
