A life of salvation

           

     Jesus is the way and the truth and the life.  When we have a change of heart in becoming a Christian, we truly believe Jesus is these things.  We believe this to the degree that we long for His way, truth, and life over earthly pleasures and temptations.  We follow the Scriptures and the leading of the Spirit, not because we must do good works to avoid going to hell.  We simply follow Jesus for God’s glory as well as our good.  

We are not saved by works but by grace.  We live by the power of His Spirit provided to us.

Dr. James R. Hicks

Vision Scripture

“‘Now get up and stand on your feet.  I have appeared to you to appoint you as a servant and as a witness of what you have seen of me and what I will show you.  I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles.  I am sending you to them to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’  So then, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the vision from heaven.”

Acts 26:16-19

Never fulfill His purpose

Destroy what will make us happy
