Tuesday 31 January 2017, do you know where you will be in 100 years from today? Perhaps your time will be all spent by noon this coming Friday, then how will you explain that to GOD you did not have time to be redeemed? All have SINNED. All will die and then face judgment. Today you have the time, hopefully, to read the Bible to know God and hear Truth, believe what you read, repent, confess your sin of unbelief, call upon The Father in the name of the name of The Lord Jesus Christ and receive the gift of eternal life. Read the New Testament  book of JOHN chapter 3:1-36.

This is our lesson for this week to encourage you AFTER you have read your Bible.

I hope you do know the only true response to this eternal question. When did II Corinthians come to pass in your life? When were you born again according to The Scriptures?

We saw some promises and learned what conditions were to be met in order to be blessed. We learned that God's mercy is free, fresh, ample and new every day. We know that He will provide the grace we need to be and do all that He ask. I've included the handout for the class to use this week.
