God alone means he has faith that God will help him through any challenge he may face. Faith alone means he fully trusts all of these subjects. Finally, grace alone is about being merciful and…

Canaan, a small piece of land barely larger than the state of New Jersey, has been fought over for thousands of years. What made this tiny strip of land so valuable was its military strategic value, for it was the gateway to the continents of Asia and Africa.
