Emmanuel: God-With-Us and
Us-With-God

God is not Alenuel (God-Against-Us), Tachteynuel (God-Under-Us), or "Menuel" (God-Away-From-Us), but Emmanuel (God-With-Us), with us in Christ through every aspect of existence from birth to death. Because He is fully "God-With-Us," He secures our eternal hope and identity as "Us-With-God."

Beyond Our Control

Once we let go of the falsehood that our freedom, our righteousness, our power, and our worth are ours, then we can actually receive true freedom, true righteousness, true power, true worth from God.
