    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jul 16, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 284 views

    The greatest privilege to anyone who puts their faith is Jesus is that we become sons and daughters of the Most High God. As children of God we approach God with the confidence that we can pray to Him and draw near to Him knowing that He is merciful and gracious to us.

We have the blessed privilege of being ...read more

    If you ask the average person if he loves God, his answer will probably be “yes.” However, many people who sincerely believe they love the Lord are mistaken. Sadly many people who say they love God don't even really "know" Him.

    True life is found not in achievements or busyness, but in personally knowing God through Jesus, who invites us into a deep, transforming relationship with Him.
