These are some of His prom ises to His Bom Again chil dren and He is not a man that He should lie! (Numbers 23:19) Life in the Spirit is far better than life ill the flesh and I am asking you to live that "LIFE," and receive God's forgiveness. Luke 17:21 says, "The Kingdom of God is within you." Jesus spoke to us and said, "I AM the light of the world! Follow Me, and you won't be walking in the dark. You will have the light that gives life." (John 8:12). God loved the people of this world so much that He gave His only Son so that every one who has faith in Him, will have eternal life as you live on earth, and never real ly die. God did not send His Son into the world to con demn its people. He sent Him to save them! No one who has faith in God's Son will be condemned. Accept Jesus as Lord and Savior today. Be strong in your faith, just as you are taught, and be grateful. Go to church. Read your Bible, and. grow strong in the Lord (Colossians 2:6.7) (Ephesians 5:8-10).
