I’ve been a believer for close to 50 years. But I haven’t necessarily let others see Christ in my life that whole time. When I received Christ into my heart at 4 years old, all I knew then was to bel...

As we go through death on earth as Jesus did, we will be resurrected in the same way to join Him in heaven when God calls us there. We won’t have to go to the pits of hell if we have accepted Jesus as...

We have been conditioned to submit to sin. Before we came to Christ, sin controlled our thoughts, emotions, and actions. And while Romans 6 says believers “have been set free from sin,” many of us bel...
