              LIGHT ENABLES A PERSON TO SEE

                         OBJECTS CLEARLY.

The apostle Paul writes in Ephesians 4:13

"But all things when they are reproved

are made manifest by the light; for everything

that is made manifest is light."

Ignorance is called darkness.  "The way of

the wicked is darkness: They know not

at what they stumble." (Prov. 1:19)

It is a fact that most of the revolting sins are

commited during the hours of darkness

and in secret and hidden places.

How amazing, that the grace of God

provides mankind a means of not being

confined to the darkness of sin. He sent

Jesus to deliver us from the slavery of sin.

1 John 1:5 says, "In Him is no darkness at

all. "

In Colosians 1:13 Paul states that a Christian

is delivered from the power of darkness,

and put into the kingdom of God's dear Son.

This takes place when the sinner, upon hearing

that Jesus is the Son of God, puts his trust in Him,

and repents of his sins. He then confesses his

faith in Jesus. and obeys the command to be

baptized in the name of Jesus in order for God

to forgive the sinner's sins. Read Acts 2.

Friend, don't continue to live in darkness.

Experience the new birth, and become

a child of God and walk in the light.

                CHRIST,  MAN"S REDEEMER

    Paul,  the apostle, declared that all have sinned

and come short of the glory of God. Therefore, man needs

a means whereby he can be at peace with God.

    The Gospel of Christ is the means to receive

that good news. John 3:16 declares that in His love

and concern for lost man, God sent His beloved SON

to redeem us.

      Since man is deceived and commits sin, there is a

way to have fellowship with God. Again we remind

ourselfves that JESUS is that way. We go back to the

beginning of the creation of the church after the first Pentecost.

This event happened after JESUS arose from the grave.

 Read  Chapter 2 of Acts to find this event. While reading this

chapter, you will  observe that the Jews who killed Jesus

 came to realize that  they had commited many sins.

 Peter's sermon caused them to ask, "Men and brethren, what

 can we do to be saved?

Peter replied,"Repent and be baptized in the name of 

Jesus for your forgivness of sins, and you will receive

the gift of the Holy Spirit in your life to guide and protect

you.  Three thousand were baptized and united with

the Lord's church, at that time.

 The Lord's plan has not changed. Why not let

it  change you!  YOU will be a better person!

Let the LORD change Y O U,  and  become a CHRISTIAN!!!!
