28 December 2022 | On its surface, prayer appears to be straightforward and easily understood. But the reality is quite different. Does prayer really matter? Does God ever answer prayers in a manner that changes the outcome of our stories? Why should anyone care to pray? Mike Tucker may not have all the answers, but […] Source: https://atoday.org/atss-mike-tucker-does-prayer-really-matter/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=atss-mike-tucker-does-prayer-really-matter
by Rajaratnam Jones | 28 December 2022 | When my train arrived at the Poona railway station, it was almost 7:00 A.M. I came out of the station to hire an autorickshaw to take me to the mission guest house at Salisbury Park, when a large billboard caught my attention. “Religion:” it said. “Talk about […] Source: https://atoday.org/religion-talk-about-it-less-and-practice-it-more/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=religion-talk-about-it-less-and-practice-it-more

Yet, as an expression of unconditional love for His creatures, God established a merciful plan to save all those who accept what He offers. This is what is known as the “plan of salvation,” which, though existing even before the Creation of the earth (Ephesians 1:3-4; 2 Timothy 1:9; Titus 1:2; Revelation 13:8), was first presented to humanity in Eden, right after the Fall. It was then further revealed in the types and shadows of the Hebrew sanctuary service (Exodus 25:1-40). And then it was given its fullest expression in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus (see Romans 5:1-21).
At the center of the plan of salvation is the promise of eternal life, based on the merits of Jesus, to all who accept, by faith, the great provision provided at the cross. Before the cross, after the cross — salvation has always been by faith, and never by works, however much works are an expression of our salvation.
Thus, we can have the assurance of salvation if we have accepted Jesus, have surrendered to Him, and have claimed His promises, including those of a new life now in Him, and if we lean totally on His merits and nothing else. Abraham believed, it was accounted to him as righteousness; it works the same with us.
This, then, is what it means to have His name written on our foreheads. If we have it written there now and don’t turn away from Him, then it will be written there in the new heavens and the new earth, as well.
