GOD SAYS,"WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM IS NOT CONDEMNED, BUT WHOEVER DOES NOT
BELIEVE STANDS CONDEMNED ALREADY BECAUSE HE HAS NOT BELIEVED IN THE NAME OF
GOD'S ONE AND ONLY SON". JOHN 3:18
NOBODY ELSE DIED IN OUR PLACE - SO NOBODY ELSE CAN SAVE US. WE TEND
TO DIVIDE PEOPLE BY WHAT CLASS THEY ARE, WHAT RELIGION THEY'RE FROM - BUT
GOD ONLY SEES TWO KINDS OF PEOPLE. SAVED/LOST.
PEOPLE FROM ANY RELIGION HAVE ACCESS TO CHRIST BECAUSE OF GOD'S
GRACE, BUT THEY HAVE TO ACCEPT JESUS AS THEIR LORD & SAVIOR AND CONTINUE TO
REMAIN FAITH FUL TO HIM.
> Who is good , who is bad?
> Now let God Decide that. And his justice work. and His will be done.

AMONGST OUR DUTIES WE HAVE TO OBEY GOD'S COMMANDS AND ONE OF
CHRIST'S COMMANDS IS " IN THE SAME WAY YOUR LIGHT MUST SHINE BEFORE PEOPLE,
SO THAT THEY WILL SEE THE GOOD THINGS YOU DO AND PRAISE YOUR FATHER IN
HEAVEN. (MATTHEW 5:16)
PRAISE AND THANKS TO LORD JESUS.
