Who are you?

WHO ARE YOU?? IN CHRIST JESUS


Dear Readers around the World. Last weekend, I did a Foreign Mission presentation for about 200 young people. As I was wondering what to share with them, the Lord gave me a thought that it is so important for all of us to be encouraged as to who we are in Christ Jesus. This thought led me to many questions. These questions started with our very creation.

I will share today with you, some of the questions that I asked these Christian youth, and God’s Holy Word that answers these and all of the questions that we may have!

Remember that we know that many reading this article around the world are not yet believers in the one true God and in Salvation through the Redemptive work of His Only Son our Lord Jesus Christ! To all of those readers I say, please keep reading this blog even if you do not believe it yet. Just remember that the Bible is the Word of the God of the universe, and what it says is the absolute and unerring truth. Man can and will often make mistakes, but God’s word is never incorrect!

John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

WHAT MINISTRY DO WE NOW HAVE?

May God Bless Your Week!
