The Choice For Life

Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Mar 5, 2001

Jesus urges his listeners to the Sermon on the Mount to make The Choice for Life in entering the Kingdom of God, in terms of Two Gates, Two Ways, Two Destinations and Two Crowds.

They struggle to believe that they could be truly God’s children when their life is so full of sin. If you’re one of those ...read more
