THE GREATEST ADVANTAGE

We who are Christians have the greatest advantage of all - we have God on our side! A Friend who never loses hope, an Encourager, a Help in times of trouble. Yes, the Christian life is a great life. I have never regretted a single moment of it. It is a constant learning curve for me. Here are some verses which I hope will encourage you in your walk with the Lord. May you grow in His grace and be strong in Him always. Amen.

LIVE FOR CHRIST

 “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.” Gal 2:20

OBEY CHRIST
 “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of Christ.” Rom 12:1-2
 “He who has my commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.” Jn 14:21

 “If you abide in Me and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.” Jn 15:7
