Before salvation, we all lived in bondage. We were all slaves to sin and self. Hearing and accepting the gospel set us free from that.

While these two words seem very similar, I feel there is a difference, and that’s why God chose “help meet.” Commonly, these two phrases are used interchangeably. The KJV uses “help meet” in Genesis 2:18 and 2:20, so that is the phrase… Continue reading Help meet Vs. Help mate
