The God Who Cares and Knows You

Good morning! As I was thinking about what to post today, my mind kept going back to the personal Bible study that I have recently begun. I realize that so far on this blog, I have mostly discussed my family and the fact that I am a Christian, but I want it to be very clear to everyone who reads this that God is first in my life. A couple of months ago...I began to feel like my quiet times were becoming a bit routine, and I knew that I needed to do something to push me to really grow in my walk with Christ. I picked up a Bible study by Kay Arthur and Pete De Lacy called The God Who Cars an Knows You. I love the way this study is walking me through the book of John, a gospel that I have read many times already, pushing me to think, analyze, and apply each chapter to my life. As I walked my way through chapter three, I saw such a simple, clear presentation of the gospel that I wanted to share it here.

Three words: Believe - born - eternal life
These three words present the gospel of Jesus Christ clearly and efficiently. In order to have eternal life we must believe in God (Jesus) and be born again. Not literally born from your mother's womb again (as Jesus explain to Nicodemus in John 3), but spiritually born again. We must give up our fleshly spirit and allow God to give us the Holy Spirit as we become His followers.


God is good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
