The Gospel
God offers salvation and eternal life to ALL who believe in His Son Jesus.
Other religions say,
– follow these rules and you can earn your way to God.
Jesus said,
– Follow me! I will do this all for you and make the way for you to know God the Father.
Take Homes
- Are you following Jesus?
- Did you leave your old life behind?
- Are you learning how to live from His Words?
- Has your world expanded beyond your own personal wants and needs?
- A self-focused life brings self-absorption and destroyed relationships.
- Our self-centered desires cause wars, racial strife…
- Are your goals in life now eternal spiritual treasures instead of temporary gains?
- Do you share the amazing gift of salvation you found in Jesus?
