Romans 6:22-23

If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior, you will have eternal life. This statement is not the hopeful thought of a human; it is a promise from God. Now that you have freed yourself from things of the world, you are ready to follow Jesus. If you have not taken this step in faith, now is the time. Christ accepts us all, just as we are.

Read His Word daily and begin your life with Him today.
