RELIGION....

BEING GOOD....

GOD: Promises

DEATH TO LIFE:

ABUNDANT LIFE:

John 10:9-10 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full

HOW CAN MAN CROSS OVER TO CHRIST?

John 1:12 - Yet to all who receive him, to those who believe in his name, he gave the right to become children of God - children born not of natural decent, nor of human decisions, or husband's will, but born of God.

A CHRISTIAN IS..... Romans 8:12-15 - Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation - but it is not to the sinful nature, to live according to it. For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die, but if by the Spirit you will put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live, because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive a Spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received a Spirit of son ship and by him we cry "Abba, Father".
