And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.
Colossians 3:15, ESV
In a whirls of craziness and sin and mistakes, we know Christ has come to redeem us and gives us the Holy Spirit and the Church. We have hope and help to get through this life and into the next.
Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Hebrews 4:16, ESV

For I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last he will stand upon the earth.
Job 19:25, ESV

We like to think we can find our own way, but God has shown us that wisdom in this life and the path to eternal life is only found through faith in the work of Christ and the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually!

“Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.”
Matthew 5:5, ESV

Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.
John 5:24, ESV
We praise God for making us, for saving us, for giving us life.
We can only praise if we believe Jesus – the perfect Son, truly God and truly man, the sinless substitute who died for our sin and physically rose again – has taken our penalty and led us into eternal life.
I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.
Romans 12:1, ESV
To find eternal life, we must change our way of thinking, believe in Jesus Christ as our God who saves us, and give our lives to Him. There is no other way.
