All for Love

Where Were You On September 11? - #6958
To be ready for eternity, to know you're going to heaven when you die, means to know that you have had every sin of your life - the sin that would keep any of us out of heaven - it has been erased from God's Book forever. Only one person can do that; the man who paid the penalty for it, Jesus, when He died on the cross.

The Gift He Didn't Want - #6769
This Christmas, you've got to decide what you're going to do with this greatest gift of all. To reject that gift is to reject God's great sacrifice for you, is to spurn this ultimate act of love from the God who made you, and to turn your back on the heaven that you want to go to when you die.

Spending it All On the One He Loves - #6741
Romans 8:32 says this: "He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how will He also with Him not freely give us all things?" Delivered up His own Son for us! There was nothing more valuable God had than His Son. How do you know how much He loves you? He spent the best He had. He spent His Son to get you back.
