The ultimate result and goal of Truthful Grace is to let go of everything that holds us back and to run into the open arms of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Legitimate questions arise as we undertake the study of the foundations and doctrines unique to Adventism. “Why should we study them?  Isn’t this just a distraction from the gospel and from Jesus?

The difficulty comes when one tries to find that teaching in the Bible. 

On the seventh day, God rested from creating the Earth.
