Christian Life
We have all sinned and come short of the Glory of God. But God, the Father, sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to be our advocate and satisfy that judgment for those who believe in Him. If you truly believe and trust in your heart, and receive Jesus alone as your Savior, declaring, “Jesus is Lord,” you will be saved and spend eternity with God in heaven.
Living the Christian life is not an easy life and not for the faint hearted either. It’s a road laden with never ending problems as we see in 1 Peter 5:8 which says “Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” But with the support and the love of Jesus we can overcome any life problems.
