    based on 1 rating
     | 2,083 views

    Many Christians don’t think it matters much if they allow a few sinful activities in their lives. The truth is, the failure to surrender ALL changes the entire fabric of what your life looks like in the spiritual realm.

    Do you want peace of mind about your eternal destination? David gives us the prescription for true blessedness, which lies in having favor with God; and the favor of God will allow us entrance into heaven when we die and leave this world.

If you have ever been concerned about whether or not you will go to heaven when you die, or how you can gain God’s favor, then this passage is for you.

    KEEP QUIET: Proclaiming that Jesus was the Christ would create a lot of wrong expectations. - Luke 9:18-21. - It’s an odd thing to hear Jesus telling His disciples to not tell people that He is the Christ.
