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.
