Product Information

If you haven’t already done so, learn how to pray the Lord’s Prayer, which is the basic prayer Jesus gave to train His disciples.

Meaning: God, whose name is Jehovah, gives special attention to those who know his name and use it respectfully. Packer had come to Cambridge to give a lecture at Tyndale House, a study center for evangelical biblical scholars.with this provocative sentence: “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.

Packer’s catechetical fingerprints are all over To Be a Christian: An Anglican Catechism (2020), an Anglican Church in North America project for which he served as theological editor, and which he wryly referred to as “Packer’s Last Crusade.

There is a general sense in which God loves the entire world and sent His Son, that whoever believes in Him may have eternal life (John 3:16).Jesus, who is God in human form, came so that each of us could know and understand God in a personal way. If I am willing to be humble and admit that I need help, then God is more than willing to guideme and lead me. Fact: Even though God is the most powerful and important Being in all existence, he invites us to draw close to him.
