AGREE WITH THIS AND YOUR LIFE WILL CHANGE

    

                            You are God’s chosen people.      

                        Living as foreigners!                                             

                         

                              God knew you long ago.

                           

                                            He chose you long ago.               

                       His Spirit has made you holy.

                         The result: you obeyed Him.                   

                       You have been cleansed by 
                         the blood of Jesus Christ!  (past tense)

                           You are already cleansed.      

                So agree with what God says about you.  

                        If you do, it will set you free!

                     

                           We have been born again because 

                        God raised Jesus Christ from the dead.

                                  

                 NOW we live with great expectation.                  

                

                            We have a priceless inheritance.         

             Your inheritance is kept in heaven for you.                  

                               It is pure and undefiled.

                                     

                                     Your inheritance is 
                       beyond the reach of CHANGE  and DECAY.

                          

                            God is protecting you by his power, 
                                           through your faith.

                                        

                 This salvation will be revealed on the last day 
                                     FOR ALL TO SEE.

                                                                        

                                       So be truly glad!

            

                               There is wonderful joy ahead.                      

       

                 But you must endure many trials for a little while.

               

                The trials will show that your faith is genuine!     

                     Your faith is far more precious than gold.

                                           

     Your faith will bring you much praise and glory and honor.

                                  

                   This will happen when Jesus Christ is 
                           revealed to the whole world.

                            

      You love Jesus even though you have never seen Him.         

                                You trust Him.

                                                  

          You rejoice (now) with a glorious and inexpressible joy.

                                             

The reward for trusting Him will be the salvation of your souls.

                                   

                       Salvation was something even 
               the prophets wanted to know more about.

             
The Spirit of Christ within them was talking about Christ’s                  suffering and His great glory afterward.

                                          

Their messages in the Old Testament were not for themselves.

                                                                                        

                           Those messages were for you.

         

   This Good News has been announced to you by those who                        preached in the power of the Holy Spirit.

                                                                      

                        The Holy Spirit was sent from heaven.

                         

This is all so wonderful that even the angels are eagerly                                    watching these things happen.

                                                                      

                        Think clearly and exercise self-control.

                                                 

    Look forward to when Jesus Christ is revealed to the world!

                                                                             

                           Live as God’s obedient children.

                                         

                 Don’t slip back into your old ways of living to satisfy                                                your own desires.

                                                                                      

                                     Be holy as God is holy!

                                                    

                                      The Scriptures say, 
                         “You must be holy because I am holy.”

                                                                          

                          Our Heavenly Father has no favorites.

                                                     

          God will judge or reward you according to what you do.

                                                                                 

                            Live in reverent fear of Him.

                                 

            God paid a ransom to save you from the empty life you                                       inherited from your ancestors.

                           

            The ransom He paid was the precious blood of Christ, 

                         the sinless, spotless Lamb of God.

                                            

                 God chose Him (Jesus) as your ransom 

                    long before the world began!

                                                              

                    God has revealed Jesus to you in these last days.

                                                       

                           God raised Christ from the dead and 
                                       gave Him great glory.

                                                                       

                           You were cleansed from your sins.

                                                       

        Show sincere love to each other as brothers and sisters.

                                                                   

                 Love each other deeply with all your heart.

                                                                                  

                                You have been born again.

                                                                                

                               Your new life will last forever!

                                                         

   Your new life comes from the Eternal Living Word of God.

                                                                                      

                              This Word is the good news.
